Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish. My wife had a white wine that she enjoyed and my martini, slightly dirty with olives (to start) was a large pour and very smooth. Enjoyable meal in a nice setting once again ...

This place is so intoxicating from the aqua blue color palate and funky green art work to the alluring lighting and huge metal plate (looks like something from a ship...also their logo). My brother said the green artwork looked like broccoli. My brother ordered the Idaho trout with coconut rice and Brussel sprouts. I sampled his food and it was all good. The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!

This burger joint fills the spot vacated by Hopdoddy when they went corporate and their quality tanked. Creative topping combos, legitimately medium-cooked patties, and friendly service. I enjoyed the aptly-named Perfect Burger, a sweet and savory combo of gruyere, bacon jam, pickled onions, and lettuce. I also snagged a few fries out of my dinner companion's basket. They were freshly fried and the right amount of crispy. The restaurant could use some sound dampening, but the din wasn't enough to deter my return. 5280 is going in the rotation!

They have a lot of fancy burgers with lots of stuff on them, but I just wanted something delicious and filling...and the Ultimate Cheeseburger was perfect! Just 2 thick quarter pound burgers, tons of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, and American cheese), plus 5280 sauce and pickles. Only thing I didn't have on it was the pickles. This burger is so flavorful and juicy and is actually making me feel better. The combination of all that cheese and a touch of sauce on both sides of the bun just made my body feel good and I'll have a good sleep tonight for sure!!! Btw, despite the restaurant being very busy when I arrived to pickup my order, it was actually ready before the quoted pickup time!

I ate off of the brunch menu, the barbacoa eggs benedict is served on a fried green tomato and every part of it was a delicious combination. The eggs, barbacoa and fried green tomato were all perfectly cooked and the combination of flavors was absolutely amazing. I paired my brunch with a margarita infused with watermelon, this too was perfectly made and delicious. This was a wonderful meal in a comfortable dining space where the food truly tastes as good as it looks.

We also ordered the Brussels sprouts, these were awesome. The coffee was good but the receptacle used for the refillable kind did not keep it hot. We waited for approximately an hour and our bill was about $60, we gave a 20% tip. The decor is nice, plenty of natural plants and some fake ones.

After flying into Austin that day, I met up with a colleague, Tom, for dinner at a restaurant…read morebeloved by locals. He's an Austin native and recommended Bartlett's as his favorite restaurant in the city. When I walked in, every table--and even every bar seat--was full of people enjoying food, drinks and conversations. We didn't have a reservation, so we waited for a table or bar seat to open up. Fortunately, it wasn't long before a booth became available. We ordered the spinach dip, the French dip sandwich, and a half rack of ribs. The spinach dip was delicious and generously filled with spinach. It wasn't too salty, so the natural flavors of the ingredients really came through. Even the chips were crispy, light, and not at all greasy--a feat in itself. For me, the star of the show was the famous French dip sandwich. I try to stay away from carbs, but the bread complemented the meat perfectly. The au jus wasn't even necessary because the meat was so juicy and flavorful. The bread was soft yet sturdy enough to hold all that delicious meat and juice. It was a fantastic sandwich, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I finished the meal with a slice of cheesecake topped with lemon blueberry. It was beautifully made, not overdone, and had the perfect density. It was subtly delicious, and I can't wait to eat here again.

The house-made blueberry preserves? Unreal. The local honey and butter? I could have eaten them with a spoon. My mouth is literally watering just thinking about it. Then came the cinnamon roll--crispy, golden edges with that gooey center that makes you involuntarily close your eyes and do a little happy food dance. We also shared The Old Fashioned biscuit sandwich, featuring house-made sausage that was so good it made us question all other sausage. Naturally, we had to "research" the bacon too--perfectly cooked, smoky, and absolutely worth it. We sat out on the porch with my pup, Lily, who was treated like royalty (fresh bowl of water and plenty of adoring attention). She gives the bacon two paws up! The staff? Absolute gems--Mark & Marie were warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to have us there. It felt more like breakfast at your favorite relative's house than a restaurant visit.

We sat at a booth but they had us facing the kitchen All the courses were Really tasty that its so hard to choose a favourite. A surprise was the pork with peaches. This is because I usually don't like pork very much except for bacon or pork belly but it was good.

New items! How exciting: I had not been here for a couple of months. This time I decided to try their matcha- it comes topped with a chocolate pistachios cream (this was a bit too much for me, my daughter liked it) and the matcha was also too sweet for me, but very flavorful. For our main dish I ordered the shrimp and grits, and my daughter ordered biscuits and gravy. My dish had 4 small shrimp (which I ate) a lot of anduille sausage bits, and a lot of flavorful sauce over these soupy cheesy grits that was not what I expected. It was served as a "soup" with a spoon. There was some toasted bread on the side of the bowl. While everything was very flavorful, I did not like the soupy consistence, it was unexpected for me. My daughter's biscuits and gravy, on the other hand, needed more gravy... she liked the dish but she felt her gravy was too little for the serving. Then she also ordered a half order (1) pancake with cinamon roll French toast and we took that home. It had good flavor! Overall, I enjoyed the food, the flavors were good, the prices have definitely gone up a LOT. 3 stars for good flavor as expected- but I was not "blown away"... but yes of course I would come again! Enjoy!
