    Füm is so consistently excellent, from the service to the food and cocktails, to the vibe and everything else. We’ve been several times and it’s never been less than amazing. The food is great- the tuna carpaccio is a must, the bread is great, it’s all incredible. Get the pistachio gelato. Austin is great too!
