The service was absolutely amazing. We had a waiter named Holly, and she was fantastic—very enthusiastic and attentive. The experience overall was excellent. The steak was probably the best I’ve ever had, and the pasta was incredible. Dessert was amazing as well—the bread pudding was to die for, and even the broccoli was great. Honestly, everything was outstanding. We also had a few mocktails, and they were delicious—I loved them. I will definitely be coming back. 10/10 in my book. Incredible me...

Incredible meal. If you’re going to have a filet in Austin, this is the place. Everything was incredible from the fresh and perfectly executed Parkerhouse rolls to the buttery and expertly prepared filet. The homemade pasta is a delight and the Yukon potatoes are to die for. A meal isn’t just the food though - it’s the service. Lexi was exceptional. She made our meal an absolutely flawless experience from the moment we arrived. She was attentive without hovering. Offered suggestions without being overbearing. She is exactly who you want when you go out for a special dinner.

We’re visiting from Florida on a business trip, and this was our first time trying this restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our server, Ariana, made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything. Her recommendations were spot-on and truly elevated our meal. Ariana went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more impressed. Highly recommend!

We’re visiting from California on a business trip and have eaten here five times already — that should say it all! The food is consistently incredible, fresh, and full of flavor. Ayhan has been an amazing server — friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything. Every server we’ve had has gone above and beyond, which makes every visit just as good as the last. The service and food together keep us coming back every time we’re in town! Attached some pictures of the couple of times we have been there! Wanted to share another experience we had after this review as well but wouldn’t let me make a separate review!! We came back again (visit #6!) and had another amazing experience. This time Key and Deon took care of us, and they were absolutely outstanding — super attentive, friendly, and somehow remembered all four of our names the entire night. That level of personal service really stood out. Between the consistently great food and the top-notch staff like Ayhan, Key, and Deon, this place has become our go-to every time we’re in town.

My husband and I are visiting from Portland for my birthday and dean’s came up a lot for places to try. We are so glad we came here for my birthday dinner. First off the overall ambience was amazing. I love the dim lighting and the service from everyone was amazing. We started with the bone marrow, lobster bisque, and Caesar salad and it was delicious! For entrees we had the wagyu bolognese and the dean’s choice filet mignon. We finished off the night with the bread pudding and gianduja mousse. My god, what a meal. Our server Auya deserves a special shout out. She was amazing, her service was impeccable, she gave us great recommendations from the get go and we loved her descriptions of everything, they were so on point. She really went above and beyond. She really helped make my birthday dinner very special. We will def be coming back next time we’re in Austin.
