I WAS Hesitant based on recent reviews but I love Kristen and watching her on shows so I needed to try this place for myself. Ambience on point. Decor fabulous. Servers charming. Drinks. Primarily the garden margarita insanely delicious. Loved it! Burrata. Perfectly cooked. The sauce beneath it was fantastic. Spiced peppeta butter. Lobster Tortellini was perfect and the bisque I could have drank in a shot glass. Steamed Seabass was cooked perfectly and the bernaise sauce was fabulous. When I go back I will attempt to alternate sauces because the were so phenomenal and I'm awfully curious to these pairings below.... Burrata with the lobster bisque. Lobster Tortellini with bernaise sauce. Steamed Seabass with the peppeta butter. I definitely think these would be amazing pairings but I'm no chef!!! ♥️ WILL RETURN!

My wife and I stopped by exploring downtown after a movie nearby. We intended on just drinks and an appetizer, but ended up sharing several plates. I'll begin with saying the steamed halibut made our night--top 3 for the last 2 years of fine dining in Austin--Otoko and Luties holding 1 and 2--incredible! The fried steamed buns and crudo were good, but I can't get over that last dish. We enjoyed the decor and service was top-notch. Cocktails were done well. Overall, it's difficult to argue anything but 5 stars when evena single dish stands out like here--and my wife and I fine dine a lot with her job working as a fine wine specialist for an importer. Ambience plays a big role too and all the greenery and open sunlight thru the windows gives this place a real Mediterranean feel. Nice job!

Our second time dining here and always such a pleasure. One of my favorite restaurants. The flavors, plating and servers are on point. Can not wait to come back!
