    We chose this restaurant for my wife’s birthday lunch, and it exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Every dish we ordered was outstanding. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the red snapper tartare was bright and flavorful, and both the swordfish and red snapper entrée were cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor. Excellent food, attentive service, and genuine hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and look forward to returning.

    The absolute BEST customer service from every single employee that we interacted with - hostess, waitress, bartender, and manager! The food was some of the BEST in Austin - I highly recommend the chicken fajitas! Additionally, the drinks were unique and really good! Joanns has become one of our new favorite spots!
