From Chicago, recently moved to Kyle. Stopped by Astra for dinner tonight. Here are my thoughts:…read more -The service for a casual restaurant was 5-star! Our waitress was friendly, knew her stuff, super helpful, especially for our first time. -We ordered the turkey raclette sandwich, and it was a gem! The kind of sammy where everything works together, delicious! -We ordered the pepperoni basil and the merguez goat pizzas. -The merguez was very spicy. (Pro tip: We asked for a side of ranch--much better!) -The pepperoni was peppery. I enjoyed the greasyness (is that a word?) of it. -The highlight was the sourdough crust. It's cooked in a brick oven (see pics). Nice char on bottom : ) -A note about ambiance--very pleasant! Fun to hear the "Toot! Toot!" of the train, as it went by. We sat outside on the patio, bugs were pesky, but I really enjoyed the 80's music in the background : ) -Everything is locally sourced. Highly recommended.

Service was good expect the food itself. We ordered the goat chest pizza and red fish. Fish was a complete disaster. For $22 small piece of fish with no sides.

Unfortunately it is a pass for me.

Service was attentive and we were seated quickly. For apps we ordered the barbacoa donuts and the whipped feta, which was enjoyed by all. For entrees we got a little bit of everything.

My family and I went to Dos Olivos Market for dinner. My husband made a reservation but we really…read moredidn't need it. We walked in, told the person at the front our name and were seated quickly. The restaurant is nice. It includes a little market in one section with various food items that you can purchase. There is also a seating area with couches near the market section. The restaurant has different sized tables for seating. Not long after being seated we were greeted by a waiter that did an excellent job taking care of us the entire time we were there. He took our drink order, gave us menus and some time to decide what we wanted. After a few minutes he brought us our waters and took our order. We ordered several items. El Olivo which is a garlic bread. It was okay. The bread was good. It was nice and warm and the garlic flavor was all on top. Whipped Feta which comes with grilled Naan and cucumber slices. The Naan was okay. It was a little cold and needed to be warmed up a little more for my liking but my kids ate it up. The cucumbers were fresh and crisp and the whipped feta was pretty good. It had a slight lemon flavor but not enough to where you could taste the lemon with every bite. Pork belly chicharron which had pork with avacado covered in a sauce. It came with tortilla chips. The tortilla chips were thick and crispy. Perfect for scooping up some of the pork belly. The pork belly was delicious. The sauce that covered it added flavor and the avacado was fresh. The Lamb chops came with Lamb, carrots and a puree. The lamb itself was excellent. It was cooked perfectly and was tender with each bite. The carrots were slightly sweet and the puree was soft. It was a good mix of different textures with each bite. The Truffle mac and cheese was a macaroni and cheese with chives and truffle flavor. This was very tasty. The macaroni was tender, the chives were spread out and added that slight onion flavor. The cheese was very flavorful. One of my kids ate almost all of this. Barbacoa Doughnuts which are mini doughnuts filled with barbacoa topped with a salsa. I don't really like barbacoa but I tried them and was pleasantly surprised. These were delicious. It was basically a soft and warm mini doughnut filled with flavorful barbacoa. The sauce on it added a slight spicy flavor. Patatas Bravas are potatoes with salsa and a garlic aioli sauce. These were very tasty. That salsa and aioli sauce are what gave this dish all of its yummy flavor. The potatoes had a crispy exterior with a soft interior. All of the ingredients mixed together made a very good side dish. One of my sons ordered the Dos Olivos Burger with Tater Tots. He said that the burger was okay. I tried it and I agreed. The tater tots were good. He ate those up with some ketchup. My other son ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwiches with everything on the side. He substituted a salad instead of the fries. He ate the salad up. He also ate the Fried chicken from the sandwich. He said it was good. He is not a fan of sesame seed bread so he opted not to eat the bun. I tried the red cabbage apple slaw that it comes with and it was okay. Lastly I ordered the Beet Salad which comes with beets, pears, and candied pecans. I don't usually eat beets but I wanted to try it. It was very good. The beet chunks were large and soft but not overly soft. The pears and the candied pecans added a crispier texture and the mixture of all of the ingredients along with the sauce that was on it made this a super sweet beet salad. Almost like a dessert. It was delicious. Overall the restaurant is a cool spot to visit. The market is a neat addition that adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was delicious.

Plenty of space open here…read more I had mediocre expectations of breakfast at an ice house, and I'd say the experience about matched what I expected. Our server was not the most friendly and was forgetful, never bringing hot sauce that was requested. The scramble was fine, but a little bland and a bit overloaded with the tortilla strips. The accompanying salsa was not very fresh. The cinnamon nut pancake was really good though. Sweet, hot, and hit the spot. My friend's omelette looked sad and said the cheese tasted like those fake squares. So... come here for beer but if you decide to have breakfast at this place, just set your expectations accordingly.

For my meal I tried the biscuit and gravy which is topped with an egg to add great flavor to the dish. The biscuit was huge, I couldn't finish it all. Even-though they can get busy on the weekends, the service is always good and during this visit, our server was very attentive with frequent drink refills. I love the dining space and bar area with oysters and bottles on display. I highly recommend Taste on Main for their delicious food, competitive pricing and attentive staff.

I ordered the pork chop and others at my table wanted it as well - the waiter informed us that there was only one left and they were taking it off the menu. The other person who wanted one got the chicken Parmesan, which was an overwhelming amount of chicken with nothing else on the plate. It wasn't great. The pork chop was exquisite. Disappointingly, after we finished eating, the waiter told us that they weren't actually out of pork chops and he found out after putting the order in - why wouldn't he come out and tell us?! Weird experience, we will probably be back for brunch but likely won't return for dinner.
