If you're trying to make a baby, but you struggling to get that spark, this place is the Fourth of July. I've been takin dates there for 3 years, and I've got 8 children under 2. You do the math. #oysters #frenchvanilla

This is the best restaurant in Austin. My husband and I would go here every other week when we lived in Austin. We try and eat here anytime we visit Austin now.

This is the darkest bar/restaurant I've ever been too. It's perfect for an evening first date when you're not feeling all that cute. :)

We got the charcuterie & cheese board which had a nice variety including a dash of honey that worked well with the soft cheeses. I also got the mac & cheese which I couldn't finish after sharing the board. It was the panko-iest mac & cheese I've ever had (but their breadcrumb situation was much tastier than panko). But I'm a super fan of that so it worked well for me. We had a French malbec which I didn't know existed but was delicious.

Helicopter View:
Wine place with decent food and romantic vibe.

Environment:
Romantic with that old-timey vibe. You know, Edison lights and floral wallpaper with the lights all dimmed.

Service:
Nailed it, no complaints but nothing extraordinary.

Wine:
I like Pinot noir and they only had two and one was light while the other was a rosé and that's not my jam.

Food:
Charcuterie was good but $$$. Chicken pot pie was good but I like a pie that has more crust---it was the crust only on top kind of chicken pot pie.

Summary:
Good spot for a date, but expect to spend some monies. Price was a little high for what you get.

Nice simple menu, great wine selection and happy hour specials. Romantic and inviting ambiance. Food was killer, too.
