This place is super cute. Dog friendly. Very flavorful food. Great service. I took a star off because my food was Luke warm... closer to cold but it tasted good. They have a great Bloody Mary bar. It comes with a tiny beer. Coffee was piping hot. I didn’t drink it but I could see the heat coming off
I'm always looking to try new brunch places and saw that they have a couple unique menu items, so I figured why not come here! Originally they said over the phone it would be a 30 minute wait, but when I came I was instantly seated, so that was nice! The place was pretty packed which is a good sign
Very nice place, tasty food. I had a couple of glasses of house red a California Cabernet, simple but good. We also tried ceviche and queso fundido, both dishes very tasty. They have draft craft beer but we didn’t tried. Staff very friendly and efficient.
Great happy hour value. We went just a bit after 5pm and everything was delicious. I had the O.G cocktail (but with bourbon YUM), fundido, brussels sprouts, steak tartar tostada, and the burger. I would go back for the cocktail, steak tartar tostada, and brussels sprouts. We sat at the bar for quic
I can’t fathom how delicious the pork jowl was; everything in the bowl was nuanced, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. It might be the single best dish I’ve had. Our waitress was very helpful and answered our somewhat extensive questions about the menu. My wife had the dumplings and they were also g
This place is what Austin, TX is a all about! The Hightower is a small, locally owned business where the owner is the chef and the food is good enough to be broadcast on Recipe.TV. Located in downtown, this place offers a monthly brunch menu, fabulous drinks, and a bloody Mary bar. By the way, the b
We had an exceptionally tasty date night here. Plates are smallish and great for sharing between two people. The wife and I shared cabbage, gnocci, zucchini, and chicken mole plates. All were great. Service was friendly and attentive, and the venue was interesting with bird-themed paintings.
I am always surprised by how easy it is to get a table here. There are places around time that have nowhere near as good small plates and yet are packed. The happy hour here is divine. Menu highlights for me are: Brussel sprouts, burger, and the sweet potatoes. I also love the OMD cocktail (gin, cle
Friendly staff and solid all-around fare. Queso, sprouts, and ceviche were standouts, gnocchi and cabbage were perfectly fine. Cocktail opens are decent as well.
Creative and delicious dishes! The staff is super courteous and attentive! Will visit again soon!
For a place better known for their drinks and happy hour, they have amazing lunch options too. When we came we were seated immediately, and the wait for food was really quick. We started with the brussel sprouts, which are definitely a must try, and then I ordered the pork belly sandwich, which was
I tried the Dutch Baby Pancake and the Grit Waffle and they were both so good. The atmosphere is really nice and serene too.
Incredible brunch value! We happened to catch them for a special New Year's Day brunch and it was delicious. The $1.5 mimosas are hard to beat for that price. Overall the food was delicious and really well priced. We will be back! My wife and I both got one of their breakfast sandwiches. Mine was t
Great experience. Mimosas could be better. Overall it was great.
Delicious, unique flavors! Lots of awesome eclectic tapas. Came here to celebrate my birthday with friends and family, got upwards of a dozen different tapas to share, which made the whole dining experience fun and especially communal, which is great when you're with family! That being said, the fo
This place is just awesome! From the art on the walls to the friendly staff, they have a great vision and set-up. The food is awesome and unique. I can't say anywhere that twists traditional Mexican dishes like they do, great for a long brunch with friends.
Fantastic food. Definitely a "must have" spot when in Austin. Even though they were super busy, we didn't wait longer than 3 minutes before sitting down and ordering drinks. The wait staff is always friendly, the cooks are always on point, the bartenders always classy. Keep up the good work, kids.
After being foiled by lack of reservation at another restaurant, gf and I took a shot. Glad we did! Food was great quality, nuanced flavors, and beautifully presented. Service was prompt and attentive, but not intrusive. Atmosphere was understated and whimsical. Try the shrimp and grits.
