The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
Chefs Rene Ortiz and Laura Sawicki have created the near-impossible – a restaurant that is simultaneously effortless and special. The menu feels upscale, but the space is comfy and convivial, and there’s something for everyone, from kids on a family outing to courting lovers on a first date. Be sure to save room for Sawicki’s now-legendary birthday cake ice cream sandwiches.
