They seated us in the far back table which we instantly thought was strange, considering they had many open tables for us. As we were ready to order our dinner and drinks, our server told us to order food first, insinuating that we were incapable of having a drink. When we asked him if there was a problem he simply said they can not serve us drinks, simply because we are a loud bunch of girls, which they took as unruly? We chose to leave and when asked to speak to a manager. We were greeted by a very RACIST white lady named Osha. No personality and no clue on hospitality. If you run a restaurant that is so "popular" you need language training. Thankful we didn't give them our business. They certainly do not deserve us. This is a racist establishment.

Pro tip: Check for daily happy hour times! Sunday HH is between 5 & 7!! On a Sunday!! A fun…read moresurprise. Dish Society is a solid spot to gather with a group at any time throughout the week. With a point system to accrue benefits over time, and at each visit, and impressive happy hour specials for both food and drinks, it's hard not to visit more than once. Every member of service either greeted us, or supported our needs with a smile. Calvin, especially, made sure every step of our experience from walking in through ordering was special. While we didn't indulge in the beverages, we enjoyed the $10 burger special which also came with fries! We paired this with a side of a $6 Caesar Salad (really tasty and thrown together with thinly sliced cabbage, roasted chickpeas, and popcorn chicken). Next time, I'd really love to try the truffle mac and cheese (which was also on HH). We weren't aware of the upcharge for swapping out the slice of American for Cheddar (+$1.50), which would've been nice to know ahead of time, since we both got burgers and wondered about the swap...but lesson learned. Also, BIG lesson learned...the parking validation is for only two hours! We were having such a lovely time at Dish Society, but exceeded the 2 hrs (by an extra hour) and got charged a significant amount for parking. Next time, we will certainly park on the street. We tried reasoning with the parking attendant and they wanted no business in understanding we were patrons of the restaurant. It was certainly an unexpected shock, and didn't leave the best final touch of our evening (specifically in that parking garage). It's unfortunate that we got penalized for enjoying our time at dinner.

We started with the hummus, and the vegetables that came with it were amazing!! Super fresh and actually so flavorful. Definitely not your average hummus plate. I got the steak and eggs, and the potatoes were FIRE. So garlicky and flavorful, easily my favorite part of the whole meal. I also tried the Caesar wrap which honestly wasn't my favorite, just mostly lettuce tbh. But everything else was incredible so it didn't really take away from the experience. I also tried chicken bone broth for the first time and it was so flavorful and perfect for a Sunday. The overall vibe was really bright and relaxed, perfect reset after the weekend. Loved this place so much and would definitely come back again.

It's everything you know and love about The Well downtown, but with more parking! That alone makes…read moreit worth driving the extra 15 - 20 minutes, honestly. Plus, there's some nice outdoor seating so you can bring your dog. I will say that the prices are more than I can justify on a regular basis, but it feels like a nice, reasonably healthy splurge. The dishes are thoughtfully composed, well seasoned, and always fresh. Avocado toast is usually a throwaway offering, but they do it right here, fully loaded with pesto, heirloom tomato, and a ton of avocado. There have been some recent changes that are a bummer though. I'm really sad that they seem to have taken the vegan chorizo and potato hash off the menu, which was simply the best brunch dish. Happy hour options are also greatly reduced, leaving very little for vegans, and I'm sorry but on what planet is $8 for pickles a good deal? I still love the place, but it's not in regular rotation.

A $20 SALAD MADE WRONG!!! Apparently their kitchen staff can't read…read more So I decided tried this place because it's always busy and within walking distance to my house. I was really craving a great salad, so I decided to go in. At first you walk up and order, and then the clerk at the front, like all other places turns the screen around and says "One last question", and then stares at you, while you read their 3 tipping options. So you're standing there, guilted into tipping, by an individual that only pressed a couple of buttons, only to have the kitchen get your order wrong. At an establishment like this, it would be nice if you could tip at the end, after the whole experience, instead of out of obligation at the beginning, because you have an individual begging for it. Anyways. So after I ordered I waited, only to get a $20 salad that had 4 small pieces of chicken and with the Miso dressing which I didn't order. I ordered the Lemon Avocado Vinaigrette which came with no snap peas, when I ordered extra. Then when I finally was able to flag someone down and tell them what had happened, she said "Ok" and went back and got a bowl of snap peas. No "I'm sorry" or "Let us remake it" I wouldn't have had them remake it because I hate wasting food.....but what I hate more is feeling like crap, undervalued and unappreciated. Where was the customer service? If you want a great salad, go here......but don't expect to get what you ordered, after you've been strong armed into tipping, and when you bring it up, expect an eye roll like you're inconveniencing them. I think I'll be taking all my Rollingwood women's group friends, to the new spot for a try......Sweet Green in the HEB parking lot.....or I'll go into HEB and buy a whole rotisserie chicken for $6 and a bag of salad for another $4 and go enjoy two salads at home. For such a casual place, y'all sure act uppity, entitled and as if, you're serving Grey Poupn on top of a Grade A slab of Prime Rib.

We're in Austin this weekend for the Foodieland festival and after being completely underwhelmed yesterday, we were on the hunt for actually good food and wine... enter Postinos. The place is quaint with a perfect wine bar vibe and great seating. We were greeted right away and the staff was genuinely so sweet. But let's be honest, the food stole the show. We had the bruschetta board and two paninis, and every single bite was competing with the last for best on the table. And the cherry on top? $6 glasses of delicious wine that carried us right through the meal. This place alone almost makes me sad to leave Austin tomorrow.

Everything was incredible, truly. Started with cocktails…read moredangerous woman, which came with this salty foam on top that was so interesting, and actually added to the drink, as well as being pretty (no photo, sorry); and don't carrot all, a carrot margarita. Would order the carrot margarita again, definitely. Ordered bread service and tuna tartare. Parker house rolls were so soft and came with a really nice whipped butter. I bake bread at home but I wanted to try the rolls and they were really good restaurant rolls. The browned cheese on top creates a really nice crust. Tuna tartare had mandarin orange, avocado, sesame, and tamari, served with sepia crisps. Delicious. Shaved Brussels sprouts salad was so nice, the sweet grapes and Asian pear went really nicely with the vinaigrette and shaved aged manchego cheese. Ordered 2 more cocktails, naked in manhattan and love and lust martini (pornstar martini with a champagne sidecar) and both were good but super sweet, so if you don't like sweet cocktails I wouldn't go for either of those. For the main course we ordered the 30 day dry aged porterhouse and Mousseline potatoes. If you ask me, the potatoes were the star of the whole show, but I could eat potatoes for every meal and never be sick of them. Truffle-forward but not too funky like some truffle dishes can be. Puréed to perfection and covered in a rich, creamy sauce. Princess Mousseline potatoes, I love you. The porterhouse was so, so good. They served it with the bone standing up, which was hilarious to us, but it really wouldn't have mattered what it looked like because it was seasoned and cooked beautifully, and so juicy and tender. Got the au poivre sauce to go with it and it was delicious but the steak honestly didn't even need it. For dessert we got the burnt marshmallow gianduja tartufo, which was like a chocolate hazelnut not-quite mousse in a chocolate shell with charred marshmallow on top. The crunchy hazelnuts and chocolate shell with the cold, creamy chocolate-hazelnut mousse, and the warm marshmallow together made for a perfect bite. So rich and balanced and not cloyingly sweet. Our server's name was Tarkan, he was wonderful every step of the way. He learned our names and used them each time he came to check on us, which made it feel personal. Support staff was very attentive, clearing any dishes and glasses as soon as they noticed us slowing down, making sure water glasses were always full, announcing each dish as they dropped it off. The restaurant is dimly lit, booths are cozy, bar is beautiful. I was too busy eating to check out the bathroom. That never happens, I always check out the bathrooms when I go to a new place and I'm a little upset I forgot, but I guess I'll just have to go back. 5 stars for sure.

We booked a reservation and were seated immediately. Food wise we started off with the fried salt and pepper lobster, red snapper crudo, steak sashimi and the rolls. We loved all of our appetizers! The snapper was in an agua chili sauce and was very light and refreshing! The steak sashimi was fantastically cooked and was well flavored with the mushrooms. Definitely both would be ordered again. The rolls were fresh and buttery! For mains we got the special which was a double cut pork chop on top of crispy potatoes with a chili sauce. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned and a huge portion. I ordered the scallops and they were lovely the sauce and fresh citrus really brings all the flavors together.

Velvety tender texture and the buttery sauce was amaze. Lots of ingredients in it was worried may not work, but it was stellar. 5 stars - Bavette steak: cooked nicely and maintained its juiciness and char on the outside. 4.5 stars - Scallops: served in a shell with a warm tallow pieces served on top that melted in.

Also fun to dip bread into. 4.25 stars - Bread: warm and soft with a loaf per person wrapped up in a basket. 4 stars - Tuna crudo: standard with bit of spice to it. 3.5 stars - Crab tostada: was fine but not standout. Liked that it was salsa verde and not mayo-y and had little cubes of cucumber for some freshness and crunch. Mini tortilla was good. 3.5 stars - You could use the tasting menu or a la carte to share - Wines were fine - One individual who presented our dishes was very intense and proud of the food and all of the details Midlights: - Their angle is wood fired but didn't taste much of a difference in most of the items - Was hard to hear the explanations of the dishes in the dining room - Lots of menus on the table: food and cocktails each had a loose leaf menu, martini cart had one too, then wine glasses were in the wine book. - Martini cart sounded fun but I got a vesper so guess didn't count to get that service. - Service was hit or miss. Sometimes lots of people around and other times could not get a hold of anyone. Had to ask for a plate change after a few courses. Lowlights: - I love fine dining and been to a good amount of Michelin starred restaurants around the world. but I prefer a bit more personality to my dining experiences. It seemed to be trying to hard to be something with a goal of being super fancy. - Prices bit high for what it was. Fritter was one of the most expensive items cause it had caviar...

It was perfectly cooked with lots of crunch. I think there were 8 shrimp. I loved the jalapeño tartar dipping sauce. I skipped the fries and for more black beans instead. What I should have done is gotten more slaw instead. That slaw a medley of red cabbage, green cabbage, carrots and cilantro - it was so well seasoned. Great food, amazing service, fun setting.

So we thought we would make a whole night of it. Tiffany did make reservations for us for 7pm and even though this is a bar hopping neighborhood, even at 7pm it was pretty busy. Streets were full of people. Anthem had a vibe. I felt the energy as soon as I waked in. The cozy booths with the U shaped seating with plush green velvet fabric. Wait staff wore Hawaiian shirts. Sitting up behind me on a ledge was the Easter Island statue. Insert (Night At The Museum) here, dumb dumb give me gum gum. Anthem was our first stop tonight. Just drinks and a dinner. I ordered the Peach Fuzzy drink. Not too sweet, refreshing, peachy, and beautiful garnish of a flower. I ordered the Yummy Fries which looked like a salad. Gorgeous presentation. Fries were actually waffle sweet potatoes. Pickled ginger, sesame seeds, furikake, aïoli and a few other wonderful ingredients. Could not get over how beautiful everything looked. Presentation outstanding. Service delightful. Had a wonderful time at Anthem. We both did use the ladies rooms before leaving. Inside the bathroom there is a sign about safety and if you need assistants. I did take a picture of it. On our way out, Brian the manager, said good night to us and waved.
