I was visiting friends in Austin and we all went out to Zoot where we got five course tasking menus in three varieties: Chef's menu, Farmer's menu (vegetarian), and a vegan menu (we called ahead and they were happy to accommodate our token vegan. And you know what? Her food was fantastic, and actually better than the non-vegan options on a few courses).
Some highlights: We started with an amuse bouche of strawberries, basil, a balsamic reduction and honey comb. A+! The farmer's menu had a root vegetable salad with a deconstructed mustard vinaigrette. The butternut squash risotto with pepitas was also very good.
Overall, an excellent meal, I give it 4.5 stars
