The League Tavern is a gastropub…read more "Gastropub". That word is so 2010's. A decade ago calling yourself a "gastropub" was the coolest thing in the hospitality industry. Now, it is a lost artifact of another decade, along with Swedish House Mafia and Britney Spears. The League calls itself a retro reminder of the eating clubs of the 1920's and 1930's. It is pretty damm good as a gastropub. It would not really want to be an eating club of the Prohibition era. Menus in that era could be pretty awful. Mashed parsnips. Liver and onions. Greens that have been cooked to death. Tough steaks. Low quality lager beer. The Indian Puddings were all right. The fish was great if it was fresh. I wish they would bring back Welsh Rarebit. But the League sticks to a contemporary menu ... And I am glad they do. Their contemporary dishes are just great. I had a faro salad with grilled shrimp on top. The faro salad was everything I would want a grain salad to be. (I have had some awful tabboulehs and quinoa salads in my time.) The shrimp were completely lovely. Prices are high - but that is what comes with being a gastropub. The concept is: Pay more. Eat higher quality. The Lakeway market will certainly support the League in the prices it wants to charge. The selection on the menu - and for that matter the selection at the bar - is fairly restricted. Having a small menu is not a necessary correlate of being a gastropub. Some gastropubs offer you an expansive range of choices. But careful management of the menu choices means that each and every dish can be polished to a high degree of execution finesse. Practice makes perfect. My guess is that the League envisions itself as a neighborhood place - albeit a rich neighborhood place. Their customers are likely to be regulars. The regulars order their favorite dishes over and over. I myself like my bars and grills to be Cheaper, Funkier and With bigger selections on the menu and at the bar itself. So the League is not exactly my style. But what they do, they do well. They are expanding, opening more branches in more locations. They can do this because the League fills a real need in the Lakeway-Bee Cave market. If a Lakeway resident were to invite me to be their guest at the League Tavern, I would be happy to accept that invitation. Especially if they were picking up the check.

I placed macaroni and cheese and brussels sprouts in the cart. Placed the order. I got a text message and an email of my recipe. 11 minutes later I got a text saying that it was ready to pick up. I walked in to the restaurant. It wasn't very busy. I waited not even a minute when a nice women came up to me. She asked if I was picking up an order. I said yes. And said my name, I was trying to get to my text message with my receipt, she already had my bag and was walking back to me. Super quick service. By the time I got home, Urg, traffic on 620, seriously!! The food was warm/hot, so I heated it up for a couple minutes in the toaster oven. The macaroni is actually big shells, and I love that cause the cheese gets inside of the shell and it's cheesy gooey. Cheese was fantastic. Really enjoyed the Mac. Brussels sprouts I feel were just steamed. They didn't have that chard crispy outside. Just plan steamed sprouts. My small meal was delicious. Hoping to actually eat inside and have a cocktail.

My absolute favorite dish is the fried fish and chips--perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful on the inside. It's honestly one of the best versions I've had anywhere. On my most recent visit, I also tried the lettuce tacos, which seem to be really popular there right now. The moment I took my first bite I fell in love with the flavor. They were fresh, light, and packed with amazing taste. I ended up eating the whole thing right away because they were just that good. I also ordered the fried dill pickles, which are another personal favorite of mine. They were perfectly fried and full of flavor. One thing I've noticed every time I visit is that the restaurant is always busy, which says a lot. It's clear that many people love their Mediterranean menu, and after eating here multiple times, I completely understand why. I also enjoyed sitting outside at the Hill Country Galleria--it's a great atmosphere to relax and enjoy your meal. I highly recommend Artemis Mediterranean Grill if you're in the area. The food is delicious, the menu has something for everyone, and it's definitely a place I'll keep coming back to.

So my mom and daughter and I went for lunch. It was like dating...good on paper and let down in…read morereal life. Our server was great. Just to put that out there. Seemed like she was the only one working there. It was freezing. There was a couple I clocked at another table. Didn't think anything of it. We were so cold (asked our server if the temp could be adjusted and she said she'd ask) I went to my car and got my mom a jacket and my daughter and I shared a beach towel inside. On my way back in, the couple I'd seen were outside, and the guy saw what I was carrying and said, "we moved outside. It's an icebox in there!" It was 98 degrees outside. That was what they decided was better. Got a tomato and cucumber salad. Enormous pieces. Very bizarre. Like Game of Thrones for a giant pieces. Knife needed on every piece multiple times. Also the tomato was a colorless, flavorless cheap, giant basic tomato. No pretty grape tomatoes, or heirloom or anything. It was pricey. I brought it home to feed the deer. My daughter wanted fries and I was worried about how hot they'd be...no need! The place was so cold they chilled before we got them. And the space was nice; could do a nice happy hour there, except for the music. 80's rock. We ate in the freezing cold to "Final Countdown" and "Tom Sawyer". It was cold and a competition! Won't be back. Food was okay. Space was cold and ambiance was just stupid. If you want to spend 17 dollars on a plate, go elsewhere.

Coming…read morefrom LA, having healthier food options nearby is really important to us, and Vivol does a great job with that. The food is consistently good, and most of the staff have always been incredibly sweet, welcoming, and helpful. That said, we had a really disappointing experience during our last visit that felt worth sharing. A younger female employee with a long dark ponytail brought our food over, I think she was a food runner - but she wasn't wearing the Vivel branded t shirt like the other employees. When my husband politely asked for ketchup, she visibly rolled her eyes before bringing it. When I then asked if I could please have a knife (I'm seven months pregnant, for context), she started to walk to get one, took two steps, turned back and said "you can go get it yourself". It felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, especially given how quiet the café was at the time. We stayed for a while after and watched her standing by the counter organizing utensils, so it wasn't a matter of being too busy. We really like this place and will continue coming back, but this interaction stood out in a negative way and didn't reflect the level of service we've experienced before.

I hate writing negative reviews but what the heck is this place's problem?? As others have stated,…read morethe service is terrible. We came in at 3:30 on a Saturday and there was only a table of 6 and a table of 2 sitting inside. There was no host to seat us, so we asked a server if we seat ourselves. They just replied "yeah", kept walking by, and didn't even stop to greet us. After sitting at the one clean table available, we waited 5 minutes and still hadn't been greeted. There were bartenders and servers literally standing around this empty restaurant, but nobody could be bothered to stop by and offer us a water or a menu. We straight up left and nobody even noticed....in an empty restaurant. Such a shame because this place is so cute.

We left full and happy. I'd definitely come back. If you're in the area and want a place that delivers great food and a relaxed vibe, Thai Spice is worth checking out.

Outstanding Service from Venecia!…read more We had a wonderful experience at Don Mario in Lakeway, and a huge part of that was our waitress, Venecia. We had a large table of 10, and she handled our group with incredible care, patience, and attention from beginning to end. Managing a party that size isn't easy, but Venecia made it look effortless. She was friendly, attentive, and organized, making sure everyone's drinks stayed filled, our orders were correct, and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. She checked on us at just the right times without ever making us feel rushed. What impressed us most was her genuinely warm personality and the way she made our entire group feel welcome. Great food is important, but exceptional service is what turns a dinner into a memorable experience, and Venezia absolutely did that for us. Don Mario is fortunate to have her on their team. If you're dining there and have the opportunity to have Venecia as your server, you're in excellent hands. Thank you, Venecia, for taking such great care of our group and making our evening special. We will definitely be back!

It's like Where's Waldo...kidding. I have followed Don Mario to three different B&M locations over…read morethe years, each a little bigger and nicer in my opinion. When they took over their current location (used to be a divish bar) in 2022, they really transformed the place into something special. Arguably one of the best patios in the Lake Travis area. Lots of choices of types of seating from standard tables and chairs to comfy sofas. Complete with a fire pit, full bar with TVs, lots of fans, QR code orfering and checkout an option...super chill, spacious, and inviting environment (especially since it's located directly off of busy 620). The inside is really large, including an oversized bar area seating. Offers a very nice dining option (or just for drinks), but if the weather's nice you'll "catch me outside." Don Mario has always offered traditional Mexican cuisine. If you're looking for boring Tex-Mex, you might be a little bit disappointed (albeit they do offer quesadillas, fajitas, flautas+ but kicked up a notch). Some of my personal favorites are the Mexican street tacos (seven different proteins to choose from), ceviche, albondigas, cóctel de camarones, and more; great chips and salsa. Another favorite is off menu, but it's just a basic refried bean and cheese burrito. Magically flavorful and they are not shy with the cheese, which is a very good thing in my book. A great inexpensive and indulgent option to get in protein for the day. Always receive very friendly and prompt service from both wait staff and kitchen. They're always amenable to any special requests, including creating off menu items as previously mentioned. If you're in the mood, they do serve some pretty tasty house frozen FRESH fruit margaritas (strawberry, pineapple, cucumber, or mango). They have a limited happy hour available Monday through Friday from 3-7pm. Save a buck is a buck is a buck. ;) Overall, sí por favor. :D ¡Salud!

So when I started with the Bento box identity teriyaki chicken Wings. That's where all when down from here. The wings were very hard couldn't bite down over cooked to crispy. Though I was going to lose my teeth. The sushi was saturated with sauce. It wasn't very tasty and so I decided that the 5 stars I was planning to do was not going to happen. Yes there are times where there has been disappointment some of your favorite places but this time was no mistake. The crispy vegetables in the Bento box was so hard it was hard to eat so I want everyone to know that I will give this place another chance but much later I'm not going to come back anytime soon. Place was pretty vacant when I did arrive and I want to look to see why there was no one in the restaurant. Granted around 5 o'clock so I'm beginning to wonder what is really happening by the way if you want some beef here good luck with that they don't serve any kind of steak meat of any kind. Service was not really good this time around unfortunately I was ignored most of the time I sat down. Only chicken and ground beef. Until next time update version will be at a later time. Happy yelping!
