I was in the mood for breakfast tacos so landed on the bacon & egg ones. They offer a little bit of everything from classics like chilaquiles to new favorites like the Mexican burger. The best thing that stood out to me was the fresh conchas that are made fresh daily so I had to get one. The strawberry flavored one was an excellent choice and pairs great with a cup of coffee. Service is quick and friendly all at a reasonable price. Highly recommend stopping in for breakfast next time you're in the south Lamar area.

The atmosphere is AMAZING! This restaurant is technically inside/connected to a hotel, but it's…read moreupscale atmosphere and great service ha dme thinking this was a whole upscale brunch restaurant. It was very clean when my party of 10 walked in on a Saturday morning for brunch. I was surprised that we could get a table, but no one was really in here at the time. The space had separate rooms, very high ceilings and an indoor and outdoor bar. Very well decorated! Serivce was spot on and we really didn't wait too long for anything at all. To start, I got the cold brew coffee, and we all shared a couple order of biscuits and the cinnamon French toast fritters. The biscuits were the best part of the whole meal. I didn't love the coffee and the French toast fritters, I thought, was a small portion. I loved the honey butter with the biscuits, and I was craving those days after I had them lol. For my brunch entree, I got the chicken and waffles. This was sized pretty small and it was not hot upon arrival. It was only two small waffles with a chicken tender on top of each. Chicken and waffles is my go to brunch food, so I was kinda of disappointed in presentation, size and taste. I would not get again. Others at my table got the steak and eggs...I had a couple bites of that, and that was a star! I would get that next time. We were in and out pretty quickly and it was great service!

I've been seeing this place all over my Instagram and TikTok, and I've wanted to try it for so…read morelong, so I was super excited! I found a parking garage nearby, which was honestly a downside because they didn't validate parking at the restaurant. Or I guess it's a bar, so that's probably why, but it was like $16 for an hour. Since it's a bar, you order your food at the bar and then sit down. My friends and I shared the beets and ricotta with bread, which was really nice and soft. This dish was nothing crazy and wasn't super flavorful, but it was still pretty good. Then the star of the show came out. I got the chicken Caesar salad, and my friends got the wrap with fries. This was honestly probably my favorite Caesar salad I've ever had, period. The dressing had a little bit of a kick to it, it was peppery and just so flavorful, and the kale was perfectly marinated. I don't know, it was just great. The chicken was amazing. It was kind of a lot of dressing, so next time I might get it on the side, but it was still so good. I also tried my friends' wraps, and they were great and huge, so everyone had leftovers for lunch the next day. This might just be a personal thing, but I will say one downside was that I got an awful stomach ache about an hour afterward. I think it's just because kale can be a little harder to digest, mixed with the fact that there was so much dressing. That said, I'll definitely be coming back. They have a lot of fun menu items that I want to try, and their happy hour menu is great. It was also surprisingly empty in there, but I guess that makes sense since we came on a weekday around 5:30.

When we pulled into the "parking lot" of Clark's, there were only 2 spots designated for…read morehandicapped and no other spots. So, I drove up to Winflo Dr and found street parking there. We came here for the 3-5 PM weekday happy hour. The food: Pan Roasted Black Angus Hamburger - 50% off during Happy Hour. They try to serve the burger medium, but I thought it was closer to well done. Nevertheless, the burger was juicy and had a ton of beef flavor. It kind of fell apart but somehow still melted in my mouth. Fantastic burger. The shoestring fries were also amazing. Extra thin and crispy. What takes them over the top is thinly sliced fried garlic and rosemary. Wood Grilled Gulf Oysters - comes with 5 oysters. Smaller oysters buried in a pile of leeks, spinach and bacon. I thought this was really good. Fresh Oysters - served with mignonette, cocktail sauce, and fresh horseradish. Really fresh and it was fun to try a wide variety of them. They had 8 available and we tried 3 kinds. Complimentary Sourdough - this arrived with a whipped(?) butter and salt flakes to sprinkle on top. Very tasty. Shout out to our server, Ashley. She was awesome - very friendly and helpful with our menu questions. As we were trying to leave, it started pouring outside. The staff rushed to get customers inside and made arrangements to try and get people comfy and situated. One customer was given a towel to help dry off. We just stood by a gorgeous tropical fish tank for 20 minutes or so waiting for a break in the rain. In this 30 minute period, I could see how caring the staff is, so kudos to everyone working there. Great experience and would highly recommend Clark's.

The oysters are also a must-order (even if I ate mine too fast for a photo!). Let your server pick their choice... they never miss. Expect to run into friends here, as it's a major local hotspot Seating Tip: Try to sit outside or in the main dining area. The front area tends to get a bit cramped and high-traffic. You really can't go wrong here!!

I always love finding new Vietnamese restaurants in Austin. Being from Little Saigon, it's hard to…read morego back to California every time I crave really good Việt food. We were heading to Alamo Drafthouse for an afternoon movie and decided to stop in and try this place. The restaurant is in an old house, which gives it a nice French-colonial feel. Fair warning, though: the inside is super loud. It's an open room with tile floors, so sound just bounces off the walls. Fine if you're with a group and want energy. On a date, you'll be raising your voice just to be heard--and the whole room will hear you too. Now the food. The spring rolls are the highlight. They're more refined than the plain ones you get at most traditional Vietnamese spots. We had the BBQ pork spring roll and it was excellent--really delightful. I ordered the Bún Bò Huế and rated it on three things: soup, toppings, and noodles. Soup -- The broth is tangy and spicy. Best version I've had in Austin. Solid 5 stars. Toppings -- Pork belly and a poached egg. The poached egg is unusual for Bún Bò Huế, but it worked. The pork belly was nicely fatty the way it should be. The meat itself didn't have a lot of flavor on its own--the broth kind of took over. Not sure if that's a knock or a compliment. There was a generous amount of meat, which meat lovers will appreciate. 3 stars. Noodles -- This is the weak point. The worst thing you can do to noodles for someone who eats with chopsticks is cut them. I get that short noodles are easier for people who don't use chopsticks, but this is Bún Bò Huế. Texture was fine; I just couldn't get past the short pieces. 1 star. Overall: 3.5 stars for the Bún Bò Huế. If they hadn't cut the noodles, this would easily be 4.5. I'll definitely come back for more spring rolls and to try other dishes--everything else looked good.

If you're thinking about coming here, don't even bother trying to find a spot in their parking lot…read more Just go straight to the parking garage on First Street. Be sure to get a parking ticket so that they can validate it for free parking later. As of this review, this place has been open for about four months. They do have two other locations, but this is the newest. This place is far larger than you think, but you wouldn't think so judging by the small entrance. Out back, they have a huge spacious dining area with plenty of tables inside along with a bar. They even have an upstairs room for private parties suitable for up to 20 people. They will even put together a personal menu for your group like they did for our dozen folks upstairs. The menu here is definitely catered towards the health conscience consumer and they certainly use the absolute freshest ingredients in their food. Since I'm more of a meat and potatoes guy, I was glad to get some protein in some of the dishes. There's a club/house music beat constantly in the background to add to the upscale vibe and service was spot on. When it's time to settle up, you'll be facing the handheld device with the predetermined tip formulas. Enjoy those informative photos below.

I don't know how I missed The Well brand in general all this time in Austin, but I was looking for…read morea brunch place in the area and found out about this location of theirs, which is apparently new. From the outside, it looks like an industrial building with metal panels and a glass overhead door, which makes it very unique. I'd recommend making a reservation during busy hours, especially for weekend brunch. Finding a parking spot in the neighborhood can be tough, so I recommend using their complimentary parking in the garage across the street. Since this is a new location, everything feels modern and very clean. They also seem to be working on a new outdoor patio-type space, which should be a great addition to the restaurant. As for the food, we ordered the guacamole from their "Starters" section, which is served with pomegranates and blue corn tortilla chips, and it was very good! For my main dish, I ordered the grass-fed steak and eggs. I requested the steak medium, and it looked a little more rare than that, but it wasn't a big issue. It was very well seasoned and tasted great. It also comes with crispy potatoes and a house salad, and they were both really good. For my drink, I ordered the Vanilla Maca, which is made with cold brew, dates, and a few other ingredients, and the sweetness was very well balanced! Lastly, I wanted to try their "Better Brownie," which is served with local vanilla ice cream. It was good, but this was probably my least favorite item I tried here. It was more like a chocolate cake than a brownie. It also comes in a very hot pan, and I don't think the server mentioned that, so be careful if you order it! Overall, this is a fantastic restaurant, and I really enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. Even the music choices were great without being overwhelming. I'd highly recommend it!
