I don't care for Cesar dressing, but theirs is the bomb! The meatballs, the spinach app (forgot the name) was fantastic! The service is too. I'll definitely be returning. They also have a deli next door.

Very polite and made some recommendations. Brought us water as we needed it without asking. He topped our dishes with fresh Parmesan cheese. Cream of Mushroom Soup Very rich flavor. Lasagna Bolognese Full of flavor, many layers. Pasta was cooked perfectly, hate it when lasagna noodles overcooked. Chicken Parmesan I tasted it, very good. Came with spaghetti aglio e olio, I could taste the garlic. Eggplant Parmesan Just heaven, came with side of spaghetti aglio e olio. Chef/owner came out to greet us he has pride in his dishes. All pasta made from scratch. What a find. Will return next time in Texas.

I also got the Blue Angel Smoothie which was packed with so many vitamins and all the good stuff you'd need for a good days work. This place is such a cute little mom and pop shop! They even have a dining room in the back with little board games to play and a coffee bar now. Super nice place to just sit back and relax.

In Texas, tamales are usually small and…read moreskinny, but these remind me of the big, flavorful California-style ones my childhood friend's mom used to make, maybe even better. They come in regular, XL, and XXL sizes, the regular & XL are wrapped in corn husks, whereas the XXL are wrapped in banana leaves, which I love as a Puerto Rican because the flavor it adds is incredible, almost smoky. I usually grab mine at the Pearl Farmers Market, but you can also order them online; trust me, they're worth it!

This review is for their coffee/smoothie bar only:…read more Be aware Central Market is under major renovation. Half of the market was closed off, but something new that popped up near the front of the store was a coffee/smoothie bar. We stopped in for a quick to go order of a coffee, pastry, and smoothie. I loved the fact that there is an option to make your own. I was able to choose my base, 2 fruit options, and a veggie. I chose - blueberry, strawberry, (comes with a banana), spinach, and almond milk. Perfect! Healthy and fresh. The girl behind the counter was friendly and accommodating. There's also a gelato bar. Curious to see what's new when renovations are done!

He specifically told me to come back today for veal cutlets, assuring me that if they weren't already out, he would cut them fresh for me. When I arrived, I was told the shipment never came and they didn't have any. Mistakes and shipment delays happen, but what made this truly frustrating was the complete lack of customer service. When I explained that I had just made an 80-mile round trip based on their explicit word, the only response I received was a dismissive "too bad." I expected far better accountability and communication from a store that prides itself on quality and service. Very disappointing experience.

Went with my father in law and we went through the tables til we couldn't anymore. Suggest getting a DD or taking an uber/lyft, do not drive. There was a ton of people on the deck, my guess over 100 people. Everyone was bright and cheerful for obvious reasons. They hook it up with sales the more wine bottles you buy. They had everything from California, down to chile, up to Washington, across to Spain & France, back to Chile. The format is pretty simple, they give you a paper and pen with all the options. If they do it again, def check it out. It's a unique experience. Make sure whoever is going in your group to sign up because they weren't doing any one-off pours for people not participating in the event.

So on Sunday we headed out and found that the place was turned into a bed & breakfast. We drove by and noticed Urban Herbal. What we didn't know was that the owner (William Varney) sold the herb farm back in 2007 but had some land adjacent to it and opened up Urban Herbal in 2010. I know that mid-February is not the time to visit if you want to see the garden in it's full glory, however the gift shop & labyrinth makes it worth the trip. We parked in the private lot and headed towards the garden where we were warmly greeted by William. He escorted us to his gift shop and I was so amazed at the variety of products he created to stock the shelves in this little store. From infused oils, herbal soaps, bath vinegars, bath salts/scrubs & lotions for the body, pet care to herbs for the grill, vinegars & seasonings for the palate, the offerings were mind boggling. William's knowledge was impressive to say the least and we were very happy that we got to spend some time talking with him personally, picking his brain. I ended up purchasing some incense, detoxifying body oil (juniper, geranium & grapefruit), lavendar/mint home fragrance, eucalyptus home fragrance, Herbs de Povence, lavendar/champagne vinegar & balsamic coffee/fig vinegar. After our purchases, William escorted us to the back garden. It was really wonderful to let my mind wander & meditate while I walked the labyrinth. William mentioned that he will begin workshops this spring. I am fuzzy on the details but he did mention that they will be posted on his website soon. I am truly happy that I was able to meet William. He is such a delight and has a wonderful, positive energy. I left Urban Herbal feeling refreshed & content. Definitely worth a return trip!

I visited this shop at the recommendation of a friend who has shopped here for years. What a gem!…read more Unique finds, tasty treats, and amazing customer service (shout-out to Stephanie who helped me with my selections) resulted in a delightful visit. Whether you are looking to add a little something extra to an evening night meal, or wanting to create a special appetizer, this place has a good assortment of truffles, great-smelling soaps, lotions and candles, and loads of sauces, seasonings, dips, etc. that are sure to please. Another thing I really like is that the owner makes an effort to support other Hill Country businesses. Many of the items sold here are the creation of other local entrepreneurs. Don't wait, stop by today. #SupportLocalBusinesses
