The staff is as great as the food. I had lunch there today with five of my friends. I asked the waitress if she could serve me a hamburger on French bread. No problem in fact she helped me create my own item off the menu. I love that.
Pros: Food, Service, Ambience
Cons: parking

Adobe Pueblo has been in Austin for many years. They have the greatest looking furniture, custom pieces, and southwestern decor. The wall art is fantastic, and the furniture is very authentic looking. They have a clearance room with discount pieces, which is the only place in the store I can afford to buy from, but I like to browse there for ideas for my home. You could get lost in there with so many ideas.

This is our third in-ground pool and by far our best pool. Liquid Dreams Custom Pools and Patt have really contributed to our lifestyle. Our pool went in at the just before Thanksgiving, and thanks to Patt and his extra effort, met our deadline. We had family come down from Minnesota over the Thanksgiving week and we wanted to entertain them in our backyard. We got the spa heated up and put the turkey on our built in outdoor grill provided by Patt. Everything turned out wonderful and the family had a great time. They even jumped from the spa into the pool (pretty cold) and then back into the spa (Minnesotans). So over the winter we used spa consistently, and entertained our friends occasionally. Everyone loves the spa. It is a raised spa done in rock, it has a shelf perfect for sitting on, heats like you would not believe, and has an extra blower that can really hit you deep into the muscles. We are now using the pool and spa since it is starting the warm up. Our routine is for me to come home after work, turn on the spa, do a short workout, and then jump into the pool and spa with the wife. This is where we share our days and make plans for the future. The pool and spa have really centered us on our house and backyard. We no longer want to go out to restaurants, nor sit in front of a mind numbing tv. We are more active, our communication is better, and overall, we are much happer people thanks to our pool and Patt.
Now about the pool. It is as close to maintenance free as I have ever seen. Once a month I remove leaves from the skimmer basket, and we skim the occasional new leaf off the surface of the pool, thats it. Remember this is my third pool and I can tell you there is a huge different in the maintenance of this pool compared to my past pools. Everyone who has seen our pool, spa, outdoor grill, saltwater deck, and backyard haven has just loved it. We have completed around the deck with grass and more plants and we really have a little bit of paradise and seclusion. I have friends, who had completely renovated their pool last year, it is very nice. However, when they saw our pool they wish they had gone with Patt. They can see the quality and professionalism put into our pool. The shape. colors, size, effects, and looks really was made for this backyard and this house. Everything fits. I guess thats what you get when you go custom. I never realized the difference until I could see it first hand. Liquid Dreams Custom Pools really did a wonderful job. When putting in the pool, as always, it is a process. Events always gets in the way, there are sometimes delays, like our tile was late because of the hurricane that hit Houston, but Patt was always accessible and we would have talks sometimes three times a week. I would call him and he always returned my call. He clearly explained what was happening and gave me an idea of what to expect. You have no idea idea how important that is until you are staring at a hole in your backyard. All in all, I had a wonderful experience with Liquid Dreams Custom Pools and Patt. I would gladly use them again.
Pros: Awesome backyard oasis!

The food is great. I love to come to eat during lunch time. Is always busy so you know that this is a good thing. Everyone seem to enjoy the food. My only recomendation is that they need a website to take orders so people don't have to wait for thier order.
Pros: Great location, they serve fast
Cons: Website needs help and they need to start taking credit card

my roommates and i absolutely LOVE this bar! the decor is beautiful, the drinks are absolutely delicious, and the dj always happens to have the perfect playlist going. the bartenders are always so friendly and attentive and the crowd this place draws is just as fun. if you're looking to get away from the over-the-top craziness of 6th street and the pretentious snobs on 4th, this is definitely the place to go!

I LOVE this place. All the dj's I've heard here are amazing and don't play the current top 40 radio hits (which is a great thing). If you're looking for "atmosphere", whatever that might mean to you, this probably isn't gonna be your new fav club. Plus, I don't go out looking for some lovin', and I'm pretty sure this isn't that kind of place if that's what you want. I love the graffiti on the wall and the sparse ambience. Great place to get on the dance floor to dj's who know what they're doing.
Pros: great music
Cons: small

I'm beginning to count on this place for a good experience when I can't decide where else to go. The inside is large but still classy and personal. The lighting is just right, not too dark or too bright. The location sits atop an elevated area, giving you a great view of the city. There are big tables if you have a large party. There are also smaller, more romantic ones. The food is high quality and served fairly quickly even in busy times. The staff is friendly and never left my diet coke empty--a big plus for me. Portions are hearty enough, and ingredients are top notch. Drawing with the crayons on the paper table cover is always fun. What can I say, just go if you're in the mood for dependable Italian dining.
Pros: location, ambience, food
Cons: crowd

No it's not the spiciest food in the world, or the best.
It's a buffet! But it's good. And it's consistent.
I eat there at least once a week. I don't like everything on the buffet, but as I try different things, I've found a nice mix that I enjoy, and it's always consistent. And the price is good. The restaurant is always clean, and the food is fresh.
In a city with 1,001 Tex-Mex Restaurants, I'm very thankful for something different.
