Horrible, I made my reservation for a dinner for July 11th, 7:30 pm, and arrived at a closed restaurant. It appeared as if the place was no longer in operation. On one of the doors there was a sign stating they were no longer able to sell alcohol and it was dated in January. I drove into San Marcos, TX from San Antonio, TX to enjoy a date night with my significant other and was looking forward to dining here. Very disappointing...

Great atmosphere, great food, great drinks. I will say cocktails are pricy, 3 drinks cost me $45 but totally worth it, they were great!

A new hideaway on the way to Austin! Had a great time and enjoyed the open-air ambience. We dined standard seating inside but the doors were open which hosted patio diners. I ordered the Carne Asada plate that was delicious and complemented by warm homemade corn tortillas and delicious nopalitos!

The atmosphere was very nice. The drinks were great too. Service was very slow and the food was mediocre. The table setting was also very strange. We did not have any napkins or linens for our laps or hands. We had to ask for something to clean our hands with, and our server brought us small square paper bar napkins; which were blowing away with the breeze. I really want this place to survive(it really does have a cool vibe), but they need to step up their service and food quality.
