Over the years I have been many, manny times, but the place is slipping--badly. We were seated outside for a 5 pm reservation on this March afternoon, at my request, as they USUALLY have fans when it's 90 degrees outside, but they had not gotten around to setting them up yet. After an hour outside sweating and spending over $150 on 2 drinks each and 2 appetizers, we wanted to move inside to finish our last drink. So they said go to the back bar, which we did after closing my tab with the waiter outside. And since we were finishing our drinks from outside, I guess too slowly, we were told others needed the seats even though there were 4 empty seats AT THAT BAR at that momement and 4 more next to the bar and countless seats around us empty as it was still early and the whole restaurant was maybe 1/2 full. Frankly, I find it tiring, really annoying, that too many of Austin's upscale restaurants are devolving into just charging high prices for adequate--at best--food and drink, with too often (but certainly not always), service that drifts so far from friendly and accommodating, to being put upon and surly. So, I have stopped with the glossy reviews overlooking the growing deficiences in Austin's upscale restaurants and speaking out against the mediocrity or worse.
