Has anyone been lately ? Since by blog on fabulousdrinksaustin.com I have not been back.

I just went the one time with the Chowhound group and won't hurry back. Wasn't a bad experience, just nothing amazing.

I was lucky in that we got to try most everything on the menu since we shared everything.

But nothing really jumped out at me.

I would stop by the bar for a drink and the lamb's tongue appetizer if I was in the area.

Good timing on that question...
I had apps in the bar last night and they were up and down. We were early and the only ones being served, but the fries we started with were luke warm. Fortunately the lambs tongues that followed were as good as they've ever been. I even got a squeamish date to admit she loved them. Caesar salad was just fine but could have used more acid in the dressing and more love from the crouton maker. Charcuterie/Cheese Plate was good. Soppressata was the only meat, but it was quite good. The three cheeses; Hopelessly Blue, an almost butter-like goat cheese and a flavorful crescenza were all just fine. The accompanying crostini were oily but worked just fine.
The highlight of the whole meal might have been the Sticky Toffee Cake with Mascarpone Ice Cream.
A perfectly fine bar meal and we left quite happy.
