There was only one savory bite that I was kinda not liking (like a mouthful of cold butter) but the rest were amazing. Get there early and walk around the property.

We walked around the property before the team party and we chose to walk around downtown afterwards the tea party afterwards. Such an upgrade from the old Four Seasons location.

Great service and it was very nice that they indicated with a dark stamp on our bill that the gratuity was included given we were a large party. I often don't notice when it is added in and double tip by accident. Cocktails are great and the food is pretty good as well, though pricey of course, because it is the Four Seasons, after all. I treated my pup to the Sirloin, Mashed Potato and Veggie Dinner and she just loved it. The patio is dog friendly.

If you're looking for authentic German food in Austin, The Black Forest food truck at Live Oak…read moreBrewing Company is the place for you! This food truck is so simple and unassuming, you may actually miss it. As a complement to Live Oak's German style beers, The Black Forest food is a perfect pairing for German beer. The menu focuses on classic German food. Menu favorites include Schnitzel sandwiches, bratwurst, fresh baked pretzels, house made potato salad and homemade mustard and pickled vegetables. In addition, small chips and cookies are sold for $2. We shared the pretzel...OMG, it was mutant large...enough for three people. The pretzel came with queso and stone-ground mustard (preferred the mustard). The pretzel was firm and flavorful on the outside and soft inside...ideal combination. Neil, the owner, was so super nice and shared some history regarding the brewery. He also has had a daily special. The food truck is located at Live Oak Brewing, making for an ideal German beer and food pairing experience.

The server was nice to make me some aioli sauce when I asked for it. Definitely the best sweet potato fries in Austin so far! Their brownie skillet was actually good! It was a dark chocolate brownie covered with chocolate sauce, served on a warm skillet, topped with a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream, and pecans. I'll be back to try more of their food items!

Seriously good. But the fries are either wayyyy too salty or not salted at all. There is no in between. The burger - it has all the potential. When I get it with the lettuce wrap or on a salad, it's great! However, in a bun? No thank you. I'm not sure how, but no matter what, the bun will be soggy. I've even ordered it with no sauce to see if that helps, it does not. That's just one soggy bun! I wish it was just that, but the patty itself is also always over salted. Every time I've ever ordered. You may ask why do I continue to try? Well I forget in between orders and do it anyway because I am craving that queso and a burger seems cool too! Then I remember. Also so little places nowadays sell anything other than a smash burger... so, wishful thinking?

I also wasn't much of a meat eater back in those days, so I mostly had tried their sides. Now we're both on keto, so we go for just the meat. The meat was some of the best I've had lately! If I had one criticism, the brisket was just the slightest bit dry, but it had the perfect amount of fat to still make it taste good, and the smoky flavor was perfect! The turkey was moist, and probably my favorite part of the meal. We didn't order sides, but the included pickles were better than standard. It was rainy when we went there, so everyone was packed inside. There were barely enough tables. Their outside seating is not covered. There was no line, and my husband had finished our order by the time I had shaken out my umbrella. The air conditioning was a little too cold for a rainy day. The parking lot is all designated handicapped parking, but we got street parking right next to the building. Since we live on the east side, Micklethwait is convenient, and it has earned a place among our favorite places to go eat!

The TLDR: I would come back but ONLY for take out. The potato salad is a rock star!…read more We stopped by for a late lunch on a Saturday in August and may have just had some poor timing. The weather was unbearably hot which also affected our visit because we couldn't eat outside. The issue: The dining room is small and can only hold so many people. We ordered quickly and the food was ready almost immediately. But we had no where to sit! So we stood there with food in hand (kinda in the way of the workers and other patrons) waiting for people to vacate. Part of the problem was there were two tables occupied without any food and they were just talking. At other places, this is awesome. But a place with limited seating: nope! So our food was cold and the grits congealed while we waited to sit down. The service: all of the staff we interacted with were kind, friendly, and helpful. They were a highlight of our visit. The sides: We had the Green Chili Grits and the Potato Salad. Both were excellent but the potato salad was maybe the best I've ever had. For me, it was perfection because it wasn't too "wet" and the dill was just a fantastic add. The meats: We had the beef brisket and the sausage. Both were very good. I preferred the sausage but maybe just got a less than perfect piece of the brisket. The parking: also not great. There is street parking but also a back lot they direct you to off of Springdale. But they don't really have a safe/marked path to get you to the building. Just loose gravel where you're at risk of an ankle sprain. Maybe they will consider expanding the inside space? That would really help. I'd still come back because the food was really fantastic, but only for take out where I wouldn't have to deal with parking or finding/waiting for a table.
