    Our experience was sadly disappointing. We ordered four tapas and all were lackluster. The brisket was very dry, the wasabi aioli for the shrimp cocktail tasted only of mayo and that continued with the other dishes as well. The service was cold and slow. We saw our food sit on the bar while our server chatted for several minutes before bringing it to our table. The price of the food and $19 for a watery mocktail was too much. Would not recommend.

    The Host was kind and gave us a great tables for our patience to be seated. We ordered specialty cocktails and wine - all were delicious. The food fell a bit flat and although we knew price points and portions ahead of time, the taste and presentation wasn’t up to par. Service was fine, very quick interactions. We had 3 plates and 1 drink attempted to be served to our table which weren’t ours - don’t mind the mishaps but it was interruptions in our conversation that could have been avoided. Overall fine experience, would recommend for a quick stop before dinner or an evening out downtown.

    The drinks were not good at all. A lot of people so service was not very fast. I do love the music and the vibe.

    Lovely, cozy place to watch the sun set - and great music from local artist Sisi - the reason I went in the first place!

    Great drinks, nice vibes - food was tasty but menu was very limited. It’s a small space so the music was very loud, but the DJ was good! Pricey for what we got!

    Everything here was incredible. The service, drinks, the appetizers, and ambiance. Loved that they could make us drinks that weren’t on the menu. People watching was a 100. Next time I’m in Austin would love to go back.
