Service was great! Enjoyed the menu as well. Received a free appetizer as it was our first time there. All food items were delicious, including a salad, which we split. My soup was outstanding, although candidly I can't remember exactly what it was, but super tasty. The beef and chicken skewers were my favorite, particularly the beef. No latte was odd, but coffee was good. Price was reasonable for this city. Nicely done!

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.

I met some friends for an early dinner at Gracia Mediterranean this past weekend. Since we were…read morethere early, the place was pretty empty so we were seated at a nice booth/table near the bar. Our server gave us great suggestions and helped us make yummy choices. My friends had mocktails and I had the beet cocktail with alcohol. My friends forgot I like to take photos for my reviews so some of the photos of the items we ordered we started eating before I took them so they show as half eaten in the photos I shared (haha)...must have been good! I was also happy to discover they are on the InKind app so I was able to use some credits I had available to help pay the bill. I look forward to going back again to try more items!

The frozen Mexican martini is so good! If you are close, stop by and try mama Betty's. Such a great neighborhood addition!

I went to Mama Betty's Tex-Mex y Cantina yesterday for a birthday happy hour with a group of…read morecoworkers, and we had about 10 people total. I got there around 3:30 on a Friday to try to grab a table by 4:15, and even though it was already fairly busy, we were still able to get seated. I will say that if we had shown up even an hour later, we probably would have had a pretty long wait for a group that size. Most of us ordered from the happy hour menu, and honestly, the happy hour selection is really good. I got the crispy tacos, and they were a solid 4 out of 5. The queso was also really good. By the time I finished ordering a few things from the happy hour menu, I was completely full and didn't even want dinner afterward. The waitstaff was really friendly and did a great job handling a larger group. The restaurant itself is pretty big with plenty of indoor seating, plus a very large outdoor patio. They also played a good variety of music while we were there, which helped keep the atmosphere fun and relaxed. Overall, I'd definitely come back again, especially for happy hour with friends or coworkers.

I thought it was so cool beans and had to go check them out - and I did on Christmas Eve last year. Yeah, so last year Christmas Eve I was getting my last swim in. And spoke to a couple of buddies who I met there about what they were planning to do over Christmas. Well, both of them said not much and I told them I was gonna head over to this bar called Lala's that celebrates Christmas all year round. They also never heard of it, but we ended up meeting up there later that night. The place was packed, and everyone was dressed up in their Christmas sweaters, and there was a countdown clock to Christmas Day, which I thought was really cool. We hung out there until the clock past midnight and to a shot for Jesus's birthday. I don't think Jesus does shots on his birthday so we figured why not, it's a really big deal, and so we'll do a shot in his honor. Amen. My friends really liked the place and I enjoyed it. A few few months later, a friend of mine came in from out of town and I told her about this bar and she got excited and I took her there and she really enjoyed it too. It looks like it does have a few regulars, but the people there are generally very friendly and I always have a good time here. It can get very loud if there's a crowd, but there's also outdoor seating.

My hubs chose Rosé Gosé for my Mother's Day brunch location. In full transparency, choosing a…read morerestaurant is not his jam. However, today major shout out to the hubs. Rosé Gosé was a delightful Mother's Day lunch spot. It is a whole vibe, and it is uniquely French! When we walked in an artist was playing romantic music on his keyboard, which set the tone for the brunch. It is a small restaurant inside with a larger area of seating on the patio. Of course, our reservations were inside in the comforts of air conditioning. You immediately notice a wine wall hence the name Rosé Gosé. The restaurant has many windows which provide lots of natural light. The tables house miniature yellow roses and utensils sat in a small wooden block...very French. All the servers were dressed in mauve clothing that resemble scrubs from a hospital. If someone stepped out in a French beret, I would have fallen over. Our server, Sergey, immediately served us water and took our order. The restaurant was highlighted as a modern European bistro. The atmosphere was charming, elegant, and stylish making it ideal for a Mother's Day brunch. My hubby ordered a ribeye, eggs and French Fries. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and egg whites. While I'm not a huge red meat eater, I tasted a piece of the hubs ribeye and it was nicely prepared. My avocado toast was yummy to the nth degree! Everything was perfect. The avocado was precisely cut and at the right level of softness. The salmon was chopped into tiny little squares and so enjoyable to eat. We could not be more pleased. With a name like Rosé Gosé you would expect their drinks to be superb. My hubby ordered a hibiscus tea, which was delightful. I ordered a mimosa that had high quality ingredients and was perfectly balanced...so smooth. We were also pleased with the drinks. This was the first time at Rosé Gosé, however, it definitely will not be the last.

Their drink number seven, which is basically a Yuzu gin sour is literally my favorite drink and all of Austin and still continues to be that way. Their food is also pretty decent, but I primarily go there for the drinks. Gotta get my wraps done before it actually closes down because I still don't know how to stay around
