It's convenient for people working at river place corp park. The food is ok but a little over priced IMO. Not much healthy selections.

This is not a fun cafe, it is a mini cafeteria. Menu and choice and ambiance is exactly like a cafeteria.

Once upon a time, I ventured out of Haymaker after a late day of footie watching and general…read moredebauchery and the sun was setting. Mindful of the need to eat, I spied a trailer, Patrizi's across the street. I rarely utilize trailers, I know being an Austinite, what the heck? The reasons are for another day. I was delighted with the meal. Last week, my colleagues choose Patrizi's brick and mortar for lunch after our morning meeting. It wasn't my choice, mainly because I had no idea there was a brick and mortar option and for lunch no less. Off the 10 of us went, we had a reservation as well. Down a winding road we came across the location which had an ample parking lot for visitors. The layout is order at the counter, grab a number and find a place to chill. They have a full bar on another side from the order counter. I went with something simple and not massive. A beet salad with a small Cacio e pepe pasta. I love beets and it's a Scandinavian thing, probably from my DNA, being born and raised overseas. The dish itself was delicious to look at as well as to munch on. It was bright, creamy with the farm cheese and the beets were prepared perfectly. It brought back memories of my misguided youth. Cacio was equally prepared with care and texture. As with an alfredo, Cacio can get gummy. Not this time. I was truly impressed.. again. I really liked the service and wondered when we arrived how would they handle a large group like us with counter service. Things that worked well. Set expectations. The gal at the counter let us know they had one chef on this day, so the meal would take a little longer than usual. Fair enough. Secondly, she went through the sizes and how to order and how the meal was to be delivered to our tables. Once all of us had ordered, she went through all the items one by one to make sure everything was correct. So simple, why don't other places do this? We found a nice bench outside, covered with a tarp so not to get hot. It was a cool day, so we opted to be outside instead of the table they had set aside for us inside. The restaurant itself has indoor and outdoor seating and is larger than I would have expected. It's quirky inside, but I like the idea of keeping a tab at the bar for extra drinks and beverages. The wait for our order wasn't as long as we expected with our salads and stuff coming out first and then the pastas/pizzas arrived. They make their own pasta and it showed. Now I know they are here and not terribly far from our offices, I'm sure we will come by again. Top drawer experience all around. PS, all the staff were smiling and delightfully helpful all along the way.

Food js delicious. Better than the manor truck for sure. Drinks were also really good. We... ate a…read morelot as you can see. The chicken thigh with tomato sauce is SOOOO good. Like what did they put in there?? Also, the diavolo pasta does have a kick to it, so be aware, but it's DELICIOUS. The only reason for 4 stars is for a bit of a rude service experience we had when trying to get seated. We were a group of 10, seat yourself and put your number down style. No tables had 10 seats but 2 tables right next to each other had 6 and 4. So we began to sit at those. Guy comes up and immediately aggressively "you don't need to do all that sit here (points at table with 8 chairs)". I say well we have 10 so we would need a couple more chairs. He's like "you could have just asked". We were literally just trying to be less of a hassle and I don't understand what's the "all that" we were doing in the context. Honestly it feels bad to even note this because of how good the rest of the experience was.

You check in with your credit card, then enjoy self‑serve access to an endless tap wall of wine, craft beer, and pre-made cocktails. Food is ordered at the same counter. We arrived Friday at 6 PM to crazy busy back‑to‑school event, so things were beyond chaotic. We heeded the sign by the entrance that said "Wait to be seated," but after a few minutes we learned you just head to the counter to order food and secure a table. Even with the rush, the young staff and owners were incredibly helpful throughout our visit. You swipe your smart card by your selection and are charged by the ounce. There are small tasting glasses and big boy mugs. I was tempted to pour myself a 16 ounce Old Fashioned but those days are long gone, LOL! Our burgers and protein salads came out quickly and were solid 4‑star meals. They did forget my granddaughter's order, but fries kept her happy until her nuggets arrived. The tap wall has some great local options from Meanwhile, Pinthouse, and Infamous breweries. I struck out twice with all‑foam pours, but a friendly server fixed both without hesitation. There are also some cocktail options including a Paloma, and the Old Fashion. Outside, the playscape and open field are perfect for kids to burn off energy. My granddaughter had me running up and down the slide more times than I can count. Overall, OZ is solid with good food, great service, and a kid friendly venue.
