    A friend who's opinion I really respect recommended Antonelli's Cheese Shop for a three cream…read morecheese. I wanted to get this for my book club soiree, but did not have time to make a visit as it is a little north of downtown. Antonelli's Cheese Shop is charming and quaint. While the shop is small they have an assortment of items to sell in addition to cheese - wine, sauces, jellies, etc. I was immediately greeted upon entry into Antonelli's cheese shop. Two other customers were being helped, however, I had a store associate offer me some cheese samples. While the samples were good, I was specifically interested in the three cream cheese. They had two choices to select from. I was hoping they had more. This is a shop you need to spend some time in to leisurely evaluate the cheeses. There was also a human size dog in the shop at the time. I don't know what is about dogs, they like to lick me. Guess what...I do not like to be licked. So, I jetted out of the store.

    Cheese glorious cheese. Antonelli's has such a large selection of quality cheesy cheese…read more This is a small family run, local, cheese shop, but it packs a lot inside. They have wine, jams/jelly/preserves. Chocolates, and olives. They also have premade charcuterie boards too. When I came, they were giving away free cheese everyday of the week. The first 100 people that were in line. Free cheese? Yes please. As you can imagine, there was a long line of people waiting, and with the store being small, we were sent in in small groups. Couple people come out, couple people go in. As the line shortens and you get to the counter. You're given your free cheese, and asked what type of cheese you like. I gave my favorites, soft cheese, like brie, hard cheese, like manchego I like spicy cheese like hatched chili cheese or a jalapeño cheese. So after giving some examples of cheese that I like the gentleman helping me brought out three different samples and we tried them together and loved every one of them so I chose which ones I liked out of the three and then we moved down the counter a little bit, and the gentleman brought out another selection of three cheeses, and I tried those and told him which ones I liked, and they were all phenomenal. The gentleman that helped me was very attentive. He listened. he gave examples exactly what I was asking for and it was absolutely beautiful experience. even though they were packed and crazy and had 100 people waiting outside. He just treated me like we were just one on one. He took his time with me. I thought it was such a spectacular experience very personable. I walked out with 5 different cheeses. A bar of orange chocolate with dried cherries. And a baguette. And let me tell you, I ate so good during our Texas ice storm 2026! So here's the down side. Parking. There are like 8 parking spots in front. And a couple parking in the back. But beyond the back, there is a small pay with a QR code parking. It's a bit of a struggle as far as parking goes. There is no street parking. But I'm sure when you're not dealing with 100 customers it's not as much of a struggle. There are 2 accessible parking spots out front. Had a great experience. And will come back again.

    I'm genuinely so happy that Austin has a Japanese grocery store like Asahi Import. This was my…read morethird visit, and every time it feels like a little slice of Japan right here in the city. One of my absolute favorites is their onigiri rice balls--I honestly crave them. I stopped by a little after lunchtime, and there was already a sign saying they were finished taking onigiri orders for the day. I was browsing around anyway when one of the ladies kindly asked what I was looking for. I casually mentioned a few onigiri styles, and to my surprise she smiled and said they still had some left and could make them for me. That small gesture completely made my day. The kindness and warmth of the Japanese ladies working there truly stands out. You can feel the care they put into both the food and the customers. I also picked up some Japanese noodles and sweets while I was there, which made for a very delicious and comforting lunch at home. Thank you for the wonderful service and atmosphere. Keep up the great work always. Cheers

    I walked into Asahi Imports with ONE GOAL: black sesame soft serve. That was the mission…read more Anything else I bumped into would simply be a bonus. And I didn't know what to expect my first visit. I thought I was going into a mini Japanese version of H Mart or something, but nope. This is very much a Japanese CONVENIENCE STORE with a little extra bonus on the side, so adjust any expectations. SIXTY PERCENT OF THE STORE IS NOODLES. Like WTF...is this a noodle headquarters? It felt unbalanced...like I had walked into the wrong store and wasn't supposed to be there. So many noodles, it scared me. I expected a variety store. Carry on. The layout is also a bit confusing for such a small space. I genuinely wasn't sure what areas were designated for customers and what areas were for employees...at one point wandering way into the back. My bad. They've got a solid selection of imported goods. Slightly pricey, but this is expected since they offer quite a few niche items you can't find everywhere. Still affordable, though. I HAPPILY grabbed some black sesame latte mix to whip up iced lattes at home as well as some black tea flavored soy milk. This is what you come to these stores for! The niche items. Now to the soft serve: Flavor-wise? Good strong black sesame flavor. Texture? Not so great. This was very icy and not creamy at all as I had hoped. The online pics were deceiving. Plus there were clumps in it that should've been blended out. However, it was refreshing and I could MAYBE see myself returning on a hot day for more if I'm close by. They only offer it on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's good, but no need to run for this. You can walk. Lol. It scratched the itch but I'm not running back for it. All in all, not an everyday stop, but an "I'll see you when I see you" spot. Know what I mean? 3 stars.

    Rough Hollow Crawfish Boil

    Went to Rough Hollow to have a few lake front drinks last weekend and to my surprise it was THE day…read morethey have their annual Crawfish Boil! Oh what joy! I actually had the event bookmarked on Yelp! Yay! Everything about the Boil was fantastic! Of course, the locale. For those of you that have never been to RH, put it on your list of things to do. Even if you don't have a full meal, go for a drink or two and take in all the beautiful scenery! Great landscaping, architecture, and stunning views of the lake - particularly from the Pavilion balcony that is only opened on special occasions such as the Boil (weddings, grad parties, etc.). The staff are all well-trained and know how to treat the customers. Super helpful and courteous! The festive sounds of live zydeco filled the air. The weather was perfect. About 85, nice and sunny, with just the right breeze. (Which is a good thing, because RH does not allow crawfish consumption inside the main restaurant.) The people...not too packed; diverse crowd . Everyone was very friendly. There were a fair amount of kiddos about; however, they were all so well behaved I didn't even notice them. (Not a hater - just like to relax with my beer and snack without hearing screaming in my ear). MOST IMPORTANT: The Mud Bugs. Normally $25 p/p for all-you-can-it - which is a GREAT deal - but made even better if you happen to know the manager (Thanks for the hospitality Johnny!). Great bugs! Huge! Suck da heads good! Each batch was served with corn on the cob, small red potatoes, and slices of andouille. Awesome! A+++! A wonderful, fun-filled afternoon! Have already put the event on my calendar for next year! Do the same! Maybe I'll see you there... :-D

    This event exceeded my expectations. I'm not a big lake junky I must note--the thought of murky…read morewater, party barges, frat-types sporting neon colors, awkward bathing suits on elderly women and sloppy people (that's right, sloppy people. hot weather makes people have bad judgement on what to wear/do/and otherwise near water) don't exactly thrill me. So when my friend told me about this all-you-can-eat crawfish event at the lake, my first two reservations were 1) lake people? and 2) how much crawfish can I really eat? But alas, after chain watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix for 4 hours last (Friday) night and mourning my sedentary lifestyle and general anti-socialness...I impulse-bought the $15 advance ticket online. What else was I gonna do on Saturday? Besides continue to vicariously engage in Ted's tireless search for his future wife on Netflix? The set-up was beautiful. A prototypical "lake scene" you would see on say, TV, rather than the let-down gross lake scenes that tend to disappoint me. Gorgeous mansions atop hills/cliffs(?) all around which didn't really directly contribute to the experience because it's not like we were in them but hey made very good visual props. And of course there was the surrounding lake...and we were lucky that the weather was sunny and breezy. There were a good amount of people--enough to where the event seemed happenin' but not to where I was elbowing people in a race to the all-you-can-eat grub. In fact, that was probably one of the key delighters...lack of long ass lines. Loved it. Heaps of food and virtually no wait! The 1.5 - 2 lb. crawfish servings were put into these black paper cartons where people would just pick up and go. They also had mac and cheese, hot dogs, and eventually beef sliders included in your pass fee which was a pleasantly unexpected surprise. I never say no to mac and cheese. The crawfish was tasty--spicy and well-seasoned although a bit too salty for my taste. Included in the sides were boiled potatoes, corn, mushrooms, and sliced sausage which are more side items than are usually included with crawfish. So they definitely didn't scrimp just because it was all-you-can eat. (Another thing I must add is I'm not a fan of buffets. Once again, people have bad judgment when put in front of unlimited food supply plus quality is usually compromised for quantity.) One harp I had with the service was the bartender inside the restaurant...very unattentive, unhelpful, and clueless. I'm not sure if this counts toward the specific event because I later realized that the Grille at Rough Hollow Restaurant was only co-hosting the boil with a few other groups but hey--I'm going to recount everything that contributed to my holistic experience, good or bad. My friend and I literally stood against the counter for 10 minutes while this bartender ignored us (no it was not crowded) before we finally asked to see a happy hour drink menu. He was unfriendly and after handing us the menu adds that he's not sure if there is happy hour today. Umm, if the bartender doesn't know the happy hour schedule...who the hell is supposed to know? He doesn't even offer up a way for us to find out and the proceeds to ignore us again. I encountered a similar experience with another one of the restaurant's employees, not sure if this is a consistent issue with the Grille. That said, the staff that were clearly working the specific event were very friendly and helpful. A woman with a green shirt would frequently materialize out of nowhere and offer up wet naps at point of need and there were always bus boys clearing out the crawfish cartons after you were done. Overall, I would definitely recommend this event and will probably attend the following year--my begrudging view of lake-type hooplas is slowly shifting!
