This place is amazing. After managing restaurants for many years, it can be a bit hard for me to score anything high. There always seems to be a detail that is slightly off, but that's not the case here. Everything here is awesome which is a huge compliment coming from me. I'm tough to impress. The food is excellent. Best Bolognese around. Service is excellent as well. The bar cranks out drinks quickly and with consistency. Even the hostess is on point which a lot of restaurants overlook by hiring someone young and not training them properly. I never understand that since it's the first interaction for the customer. I've been here multiple times and every aspect is consistently held to a high standard. I'm thoroughly impressed. Keep it up! Thank you for providing a great experience.

A good little restaurant, with generous portions and ambition. We had been under the impression this was a finer dining experience, but it was a lot more casual— with jeans and a more comfortable staff. The octopus antipasta was good (though it needs a sauce for the generous amount of potatoes). We had the short rib and tenderloin— both tasty. It’s a good dinner for a low key date night, though not as elevated as some restaurants farther into Austin. And, that’s okay! It’s decent food in The Galleria— finally!

Went here for Valentine's Day. It was very crowded as one would expect and the tables were rather close together. They had a set menu that was good but I would have preferred more options. The service was very good despite the crowd. They also had complimentary valet service which was very nice. We enjoyed our time here and I would recommend it.
