It is not the best place you will go to but everything will be pretty good and everyone will leave content Food (A-) I had the 8oz steak with French onion soup, baked potato, asparagus, Everything tasted good and I finished my plate. Perfect portion sizes Value (B+) The prices seem to be a bit expensive for Austin but not too bad. Not a great value but nothing too crazy expensive either Service (A-) Friendly, polite and attentive. They do a great job providing suggestions and with checking up on the table. If you are in Austin this is a safe bet place to go to for some traditional American fare. There is a dog barking sound or a dog that was barking - I think it was just the sound- not sure - didn't ask about it.

We had a group of seven adults and a baby, and when I called late in the afternoon, they were able to accommodate us at exactly the time we desired. From the moment I pulled up, I had a good feeling. The exterior has that historic charm, and inside it's beautifully updated while still keeping the character of the building. We were seated in a semi-private room overlooking the dam, which made the whole experience feel even more special. The service was fantastic - attentive without being overbearing - and the food absolutely delivered. Our table ordered a variety of dishes, from the smash burger to salmon and rice, shrimp, steak, and even the French onion soup. Everything was spot on. And I have to mention the dirty martini with hand-stuffed blue cheese olives... incredible. Every single person in our group enjoyed their meal, the drinks, and the atmosphere. Highly recommend - this will definitely be our go-to spot the next time we're in town.

I had the ham and turkey chef salad. It was served in a tortilla shell with lettuce, tomato, peppers, pineapple, cheddar cheese, and taco chips with a sweet and sour dressing. It also came with garlic bread that was pleasant but not needed. This type of salad being in a tortilla shell was a little odd, but not bad. It was a little stale as well, but nothing concerning. The overall salad was well put together and everything else seemed fresh with plenty of the toppings. The pineapple was also an interesting choice, but I did not mind it. Will I go back? Yeah, why not.

We decided to try a few new breakfast joints around town and this was next on the list. It is very…read moresmall inside but was half empty at 8 on a Saturday morning, so no issues with waiting here. I ordered a Denver omelette and the Mr ordered the egg breakfast. I wasn't excited to learn that the onions and peppers were "fire roasted". It gave the omelette a Cajun flavor that I wasn't looking for at all. The hash browns also aren't cooked to have the crunchy outside that you'd expect, and were pretty salty. Mr said his food was as good as a basic breakfast can be expected, but said the pancakes are better at other local cafes. Seeing as I order the same omelette every time we go out for breakfast, we probably will not return to this particular spot. However, the service and staff a friendly.

Everything about this place is fantastic, starting with the food and then moving on to service and ambiance. A Rochester restaurant owner admonished me for being too negative about places here but, when I have really good food somewhere else, I cannot help it. Anyways, though I had breakfast, the lunch specials looked really good, too. You can't beat home cooking. Bottom line, it's too bad this place isn't closer.

Roast beef/gravy - Roast beef was okay, bit dry and smothered in way too much gravy - I'd suggest light or on the side. Tenderloin - 1/3 container size, medium thick. Okay tasting. Mashed potatoes good, beef gravy somewhat salty. Fresh vegetables were good. None of food was outstanding but a good variety menu and prices.

He said he was a tad disappointed in the beer; it was a bit warm. I only had water with my burger. The coleslaw was just so-so. There's a very nice patio area (we ate inside) and I saw that they do live music on the weekends. (We visited on a Monday.) There's an entrance to the restaurant via the hotel and obvs. vice versa. The hotel looked super nice! We were staying at a hotel across the lot and didn't want to drive anywhere for dinner, so we were happy to have the place available for us. Thanks for a nice dinner all the way from Nebraska!

Stopped by for a late lunch since we were staying at the hotel…read more Our waitress was friendly and generally attentive, but it wasn't the best service we've had. Our order was taken quickly, and came out in a reasonable amount of time. There was a large funeral across the street and apparently the attendees gathered here afterwards because it was pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon. But it was still not too crazy and we were able to have a conversation at a reasonable volume. Lots of TVS playing sports. Some reviews referred to it as a nightclub which seems a stretch. At least in the afternoon it was family friendly.. The espresso martinis were strong and all alcohol. But what I'm used to and not my favorite but we definitely got a nice buzz! The cheese curds were average; the pizza fries were an interesting concept. It would have been nice if the cheese had been melted more. The pepperoni was somewhat spicy. The fries were really good! I truly enjoyed the quinoa bowl. The pork belly was crispy and crunchy and just delectable. It worked well with the quinoa and vegetables. I'd happily eat this regularly. Prices are average. Especially for a hotel, one might even consider them reasonable. It's a good option if you don't want to leave the hotel.

No one around to take orders at the entrance. Some of the drink items not ready at 9 am, after being open for 3 hours. Some of the staff, younger people were always great. Some days it seems that the store is understaffed, and this area is neglected with no staff at all on those days. 3. Bad. Specials for the day are served in a area that seems to be hastily planned. Food is already prepared, and lord knows when it was completed, thus many times it is luke warm and not hot.
