I used City Search to research restaurants for a recent 5 day stay in Austin. I was impressed with the reviews others gave this restaurant. It did not disappoint. Beginning with the bartender who was so friendly and offered suggestions on the wine and the food and the waiter who made us feel we were the most important people in the restaurant. The food was spectacular...the Duck Bolognese was fabulous as was everything else to include the dessert which was a cappuccino flavored mousse that was to die for.
Don't miss this one!!
Pros: Food, service
Cons: no cons for us

I absolutely LOVE this place! They have the best super white tuna and miso soup I have ever had and I have tried a lot of different sushi places, not just in Austin. This is a great place for dinner, and they also have great lunch specials. I would also recommend trying their Passioberry Duo, it is just to die for!
This place can be a little pricey, but it is definitely worth it!
Pros: Yumm!
Cons: none

I have lived in Austin my whole life and bounced around with different salons over time - until last year (2008), when Mercedes cut my hair. My first appointment was great. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, but gave her some pointers on what I thought I was looking for - ever since then NO ONE will cut my hair but her. In fact, I recently moved to Dallas for a job and I still drive back to Austin to get my haircut by Mercedes - which is great because she works weekends too! Yes, sounds a little ridiculous to drive 3.5 hours for a haircut, but she is THAT GOOD. I understand some of the other complaints up here about the other staff, or perhaps the rushed experience - that may be true and I just don't notice it - but even if I did, I promise I would still go there, because Mercedes is a miracle worker and I have loved every haircut she has done for me.
Pros: Mercedes, the products

This review is long overdue! I moved to Austin 7 years ago, and spent the first 3 trying to find the right stylist. I tried one after the other, which all came highly recommended. Then, I finally found Brenda at Amaz!
Before Brenda, I just thought that it was typical to leave the salon thinking "I'll get used to it." After 3-4 times at each salon, I knew it was time to switch again. It's been 4 years now, countless highlights, color, treatments, and cuts from Brenda, and I haven't once left Amaz for Hair feeling this way. It's exactly the opposite, as I always look so forward to the next time I get to go back! Not only do I leave with hair that feels & looks great every time, but my time spent there with the staff always makes for a great day. Brenda is extremely talented and knows how to make everyone's color and cut exactly how they want it. If I am feeling indecisive, I can trust that she's going to surprise me with something I like. Thank you Brenda for everything you've done for me!
Pros: Experience, Staff, Atmosphere, Location
Cons: Pricey, often very busy

Chez Zee is probably a good choice for special events like birthdays or office parties. I've been there a couple of times and the food is definitely of more quality that most other Austin restaurants. But where they really kick it up a notch is on their dessert menu.
They have everything you can think of - from cheesecakes, chocolate cakes, pies, mousse and everything else in between. I've tried several of their desserts and none have disappointed me.
Their menu also has something for everyone. I love their steamed veggies, which are never overcooked and always taste fresh. Their sandwiches are also great.

I have seen some very nice work done from this studio. They have great artists and awesome colors. I have seen artwork done by them that was 5 years old still looked brand new. I have heard nothing but good things and plan on checking them out for my own work.
