We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our food was hot and absolutely delicious. Drinks were well made and delivered quick. Service was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend the Redfish, we also had Crab Stuffed Flounder, Shrimp Tacos and Crab cake, Avocado BLT. Everyone was happy with their choice.

Wonderful wait staff, nice and quiet ambiance and the food was exceptional for one diner and good but not over the top for the other guest.

Bartender Travis was excellent. Margaritas were well made. Food was excellent too. Stuffed flounder was cooked to perfection. Mashed potatoes were a little weak for a restaurant of this stature. Seemed to be instant potatoes. We ate in the bar area where the noise was moderate. All in all it was an above average experience.

Best ahi tuna I have ever had. Definitely would go back again!

Over priced

Oysters (raw) in a half shell were 55 bucks. That’s 70/ dozen after tip & tax. Pasta and chicken were the winners at this seafood joint. Skip the crab stuffed shrimp it should be called a canned crab entree rather than a shrimp dish. Service was excellent.

We picked a great time to get in before the dinner rush and I enjoyed a delicious piece of grilled sea bass.

Great brunch! Great food, not crowded, good service.

Good food. Good value. I am hard of hearing and especially appreciated the quiet, relaxing atmosphere.

My sister, her friend, and I drove from San Antonio to Austin for a birthday brunch. As soon as you walk in, you get this smell of fish, which wasn’t a problem considering it being a seafood restaurant. The whole ambiance of the restaurant was very calming and I loved that. It was very clean and quiet too. Because it was brunch, they provided complementary beignets, it was my first time trying them and it was DELICIOUS. I ordered the bananas foster french toast and it was the BEST french toast I’ve had in a while, I also got a passion fruit mimosa, there was a dash of passion fruit which I really enjoyed lol! Our waiter, whose name I do not remember, was super friendly and very attentive. At the end of our brunch, he told us to not leave yet and came back with a birthday key like pie for my sister which I thought was super sweet. My overall, experience was great and I would go back again. I recommend this to anyone who plans to visit Austin.
