Had brunch here with a friend on a recent visit. The food was outstanding and the service was good. Lamb and beef were terrific, other items varied from good to very good. Sweet tea was superb. Waiter was very nice. Never had jalepeno mint jelly before but it was outrageous! Overall, very close to a 5-star experience. A few factors leading to a 4-star review:

- Plates: very confusing! There were no plates on the buffet line near the carving station. Had to walk back in to the restaurant to get a plate, then come back out to get the food.

- Avocado toast: it was more like toast with a hint of avocado. It needed much more. And also, the flavor profile would have benefited from cilantro/onion/lime.

- Kolache: tasted like a hot dog in a bread pocket. I've had much better in Texas.

Overall, a great visit and I would come back without hesitation if I am in Austin again some day. My only recommendation: don't fill up on pastries - you can get those any time :)
