"Moved here from Brooklyn two months ago. This is the first restaurant that made Austin feel like home. Creative menu, everything sourced locally, vibes are perfect."
Welcome to Austin! Making transplants feel at home is one of our favourite things — the city's changed a lot, but the creativity and local focus is still what makes it special. Really glad we could be part of your Austin story. See you again soon, neighbour.
"Claimed farm-to-table but server couldn't tell me which farm the chicken came from. Feels like marketing hype."
That's a completely fair callout — if we're claiming farm-to-table, our team should absolutely be able to tell you where ingredients come from. We source from Johnson's Backyard Garden and Shirttail Creek Farm, and we clearly need to train our servers better on this. Thank you for keeping us honest, and please give us another chance.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about responding to reviews in Austin
Own them honestly. Austin's explosive growth has made popular spots crowded, especially during events. When responding, acknowledge Austin's grown crazy fast, explain what you're doing (waitlist apps, bar service), and show appreciation for their patience. Authenticity beats excuses in Austin.
Yes — Austinites call out greenwashing immediately. If someone questions your sourcing, name the actual farms and producers in your response. If you can't, reconsider your marketing. Austin diners verify claims, and transparency builds far more trust than vague sustainability language.
Higher emphasis on creativity, local culture, and authenticity. Austin reviewers mention whether a place 'feels Austin' — meaning creative, unpretentious, community-focused. Responses that show you're part of the community, not just a business, resonate strongly.
Don't change your tone, but acknowledge the newcomer experience. Many reviews start with 'moved here from SF/NYC/Seattle' — welcome them warmly and show you're glad they're giving you a shot. Austin's culture is inclusive, and responses that reflect that build loyalty with new residents.
