Came here for the first time with my wife celebrating our 17th year wedding anniversary…read more Appetizers: Jumbo Lump Crab Cake- tons of fresh crab meat that was flavorful. Escargot Stuffed Mushrooms- a bit tiny, but packed with buttery goodness. Entrees: A5 Wagyu Flat Iron- this was a special and it wasn't tender enough to cut with just a fork like I've experienced, but still pretty tender and very juicy. Seasoned perfect to eat by itself, but it came with 4 different restaurant-made steak sauces. Mesquite Smoked Short Ribs- very tender and can be torn to shreds with a fork. Comes with mash potatoes and gravy and some crispy noodles for texture. Very flavorful. Sides: Maple Bacon Pecan Brussel Sprouts- very delicious and flavorful. Smoked Mashed Potatoes- very thick and smokey, but delicious. Definitely need some water lol. Poblano Creamed Corn- my wife liked this, but I didn't care for that creamy corn texture lol. Dessert: Marie Antoinette Cake- chocolate mousse cake that was perfectly rich with some kind of raspberry or berry drizzle. Also came with these super delicious alcoholic infused strawberries that paired super well. Overall, it was a pricey dinner, but not as pricey as I thought. Definitely had a great time and worth the price and experience. The restaurant ambience was dim and cabin-like setting with lots of beautiful decor. Our waiter, Gabriel was super friendly and helpful. He recommended a lot of our dishes tonight. Lots of parking and they also offer complimentary valet services.

Had an awesome dinner at The Republic…read more The Gulf Shrimp Beurre Monté was a killer appetizer -- perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The ribeye was cooked right and tasted incredible. The poblano cream corn might be one of the best sides we've ever had. The key lime pie with the almond graham cracker crust was the perfect way to end it. And the Mash Madness whiskey competition is such a cool touch -- blind tasting between A and B like March Madness for bourbon. Makes it even more fun.

As a server myself, I can appreciate when I see staff going above and beyond. I had the ribeye and…read moremy girlfriend had the steak flat. I didn't get any pictures because we ate it so fast! Will be going back soon. Don't forget to get some gelato on the way out ;)

It's been on my "to try" list since we moved back, and I will now have to resist stopping in weekly. Every single part of our meal was divine. We were greeted and sat promptly. The starter which was a thinly fried lentil "chip" with mint sauce and tamarind sauce was excellent and light. My husband ordered the Non-Vegi Thali which came with Tikka Masala, Lamb Curry, Dal Fry, Raitha, Rice, Biriyani rice, Naan, and Gulab Juman to sample and I got Lamb Kurma with Garlic Naan. My word- I don't think I've ever been somewhere that every single item was exceptional. Unfortunately, we had to dash to a PTO meeting, but our waiter helped us box up quickly, and I spent that whole meeting longing to get home and eat the rest of my meal. I cannot wait to come in and try the lunch buffet! Also, it's notable that they just renovated the restaurant, and it was beautiful and clean. Taz, I apologize for waiting this long to try you out, but you've got a customer for life now!

The dining room is very clean and comfortable. I would suggest saag with their fresh garlic naan, and if you want a sweet treat, their mango lassi is delicious.

Our server seemed overwhelmed, although there was hardly anyone there. An hour and a half later we had food and it was just average. Nothing very special. Little to no flavor with the exception of the gumbo. I would not recommend.

We have driven past this place so many times over the past couple of years of years and we finally…read moredecided to try it today; it did not disappoint! Really cute but small inside, had a reservation and sat down immediately. Our server Addi was one of the kindest and intentional servers we have ever had, she did a fantastic job. The staff as a whole was just really kind and good at what they do. The food was hot and fresh, can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We came for brunch but we are excited to try the other menus some time!

I want to buy it by the gallon. The crab cakes are the best I have ever had! They are ginormous and almost pure crab (imagine that). The poblano sauce and jalapeño pesto are so good. It doesn't need them but it is all so flavorful. The slaw is amazing, I don't normally like coleslaw, but I will eat theirs. You have to finish your meal with a strawberry tart! Soooo good. They have a good happy hour and I can't wait to try brunch. So glad they are back and have items from Cafe Eccel.

Today, ate at Chicken Oil Company. They were amazing growing up! Wow how they went downhill!…read more Koppe Bridge is what Chicken Oil use to be. You place your order, they make your burger and it goes from the grill to the bun. Nice and greasy like it should be. Chicken Oil has become so packed you can't move. The burgers have become an assembly line. They cook 10-20 and toss them in a pan where they sit until it's moved down the line. Dry & cold. Koppe Bridge has a wonderful atmosphere. Old school country music playing. Creaky wooden floors. The one thing I CAN give the edge to Chicken Oil is the friendly and helpful staff! Because honestly..I've eaten at Koppe numerous times and literally every single time, the girls in the front are essentially snotty Sorority-type girls. Always different girls but always the same type. (Rude, eye rolls, zero friendly customer service). Maybe they need to hire staff based on personality and not how cute they are.

I've had their burgers so many times that it should be rated on Texas Monthly. They are great. This time I changed it up and went with the chicken friend steak sandwich basket. The parking seems small, but just circle around. Whatever side you come on, go to the "back" and you'll find room. When you come in go straight to the cash registers and place your order/state your name. Grab your drinks and find a seat. Pay attention because when the guy screams your name into the cheap-axst speaker system, you might loose it. Consider it an audiology exam. If you come in with a parent that was on Peanuts, they will understand the PA perfectly. Everyone else takes their chances. With the basket you get a PILE of bar fries. They are great and there's a mountain of them. This alone should lure you in. I went with the chicket fried steak sandwich. Very tasty, but for some reason I thought it would come with gravy. Nope. If that changes your impression of a chicken fried steak, you may want to pass. I just covered it in ketchup and enjoyed the change up. Pro-Tip: Don't even try to come here on game days.
