We had an after graduation dinner party for 20. It was a great choice! Everyone was very happy with their choice of entree. The steaks were amazing. Mini jalapeño muffins were on the table when we arrived, they were perfect. The honoree had the filet...it was huge and delicious. Many people ordered the green chili macaroni and cheese. It was...

Attended a business dinner here last week (Stonelake location) with a group of 35. The service was quite good for a group of that size. Food was also very good. I had the roasted half-chicken and was quite happy with it. The fruit pie for dessert was also good.

Good food. The setting at the NW Austin location is very nice, especially for outdoor dining. Its on the edge of the old quarry lake.

Greta "Steak" Restaurant we had a large group and everybody felt satisfied with the quality and quantity of food. Service was excellent. I had the 20 oz Cowboy Cut Steak Bone-In; Ribeye, It was an ample portion, and tasted great. I also tried the Filet and that was good too. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food is excellent here, but be careful of over-ordering. I had two appetizers, and took most of the second one home. The appetizer Jonah Crab Cakes were delicious, with large chunks of crab, but there were two of them and they were very filling. The Green Chile Pork Stew comes in a kettle with homemade tortillas. The bacon wrapped... More

It was our first time with some of our friends. We were there for a late lunch around 2:30PM. It was quiet and felt like we had the place just for us. We sat near the big windows close to the quarry lake. It was very peaceful and calming. Almost felt like we were sitting with a view of Lake... More

What a place. We shared the mussels to start and they were simply exceptional - the mussels were big, fresh and beautiful and the accompanying sauce was unusually tasty. Mains were excellent - suffice to say although I was given a large knife with the beef short ribs it wasn't used once as they were beautifully tender, melt in your... More

Had lunch here w mom. We split the beef tenderloin sliders-plenty for 2. Beef was tender and rolls were soft and delicious. The crowning glory was the dessert: chocolate toffee pecan pie a la mode. Best pie I've ever tasted! Fluffy flaky crust, chewy mouthfuls of chocolate/toffee/pecan-simply define! A great place to eat if you're touring the capital-only a few... More

Had dinner and a beer here while staying at the Stephen F. Great bar staff, winderfully knowledgable as waiters, food was fantastic - even if super-sized portions. I had the Carnitas which I guess translates as "most of a pig". It was great. Would be a nice place to go for a quiet drink compared to the hurly burly of... More
