The Scene – This handsome saloon--with rustic brick walls, pressed-tin ceilings and a wooden bar stretching the room's length--contains no more than a dozen candlelit, white-linened tables. The intimate, narrow space appeals to various local sophisticates: dating couples, business diners, 40-somethings, and wranglers with platinum cards. Stetson hats and chefs toques are standard-issue uniform for expert cookstaff in the 250-square-foot open kitchen. – – The Food – Innovative game dishes have earned chef-owner Tim Love several appearances on the "The Today Show," as…

Very good western cuisine
by mariaaggie
The tenderloin is very good. The mac and (Manchego) cheese is to die for! I wish they added a few more desserts, but I suppose most people are too full to order any. Wine list was also very good (a lot of high end ones, so be prepared to pay a bit more).
- Pros: Very Texas
- Cons: A bit loud on weekends

Innovative and delicious food in a beautiful environment
by rubicon13
Our eyes had to adjust to the dark and trendy/cowboy theme when we came out of the glare of the August sun in Texas, but wow, once we adjusted, we didn't want to leave. We did not have a reservation and they graciously fit us in on a Friday night. The menu was very inventive, the Texas Fig appetizer is drool inducing, and while we didn't get too adventurous (other than a rabbit tart which was quite good), our tenderloins were perfection. Generally the wait staff was very gracious - although I'll admit we felt a bit rushed (I'm sure it was because they squeezed us in on a very busy night - it might have been different with a reservation) We luckily got seated close to the kitchen (sounds odd I know) but it was great fun to watch the cowboy hat wearing chefs work their magic - great theatre during dinner. We didn't love the dessert choices, but we were so full by then we didn't really care. We will be back as soon as we can get over there again - this time with a reservation.
- Pros: atmosphere, food, location
- Cons: dessert choices, valet parking (slow)

Great Menu!
by talan1
I really like the innovative menu. It's not too often you come across such a combination of different flavors paired so nicely. Service can be a little spotty at times, but overall it's a unique dining experience.
