About
A Hill Country limestone cottage converted to an elegant restaurant Yes, it can be done, and done well. This is a favorite spot for romantics of all stripes, who come for the harp music and relaxing, three-hour dinners. A prix-fixe menu is available, as well as an a la carte menu. The prix-fixe dinner includes bread, salad, appetizer, entree and dessert, and is uniformly well-executed. The chateaubriand melts in your mouth, and the truffle-topped tenderloin medallions are extraordinary. Desserts are second-rate, but who has room for them anyway
