Everything was top notch from the food to the service to the atmosphere. Hubs surprised me with a birthday dinner here and I was SO SKEPTICAL ( not feeling it) at first looking at the gamey menu. Our server was awesome and gave us good recommendations! The BEST appetizer we ordered was the Elk Slider, it is absolutely a MUST TRY! The flavors were unlike anything I've tasted before, I savored every scrumptious bite! My pic of it does not do it justice! The Blackened Gulf Redfish with Texas Caviar and braised collards was OUTSTANDING! I need this meal again for New Year's. You have to try the crispy Brussels Sprouts with bacon vinaigrette and black garlic, they are the 2nd best I've had (next to Uchiko's) but they are SUPER DELICIOUS and the flavor combination is definitely a winner! This was one of THE BEST birthday meals I've ever had and if you're ever in downtown Austin, Lonesome Dove is MUST TRY....no seriously, go!

the best cucumber Margarita And of course, the best the best steak ever And the manager was very nice in asking if everything was okay and even gave them two glasses of white wine. She was very sweet. ❤️

Fantastic service, perfectly cooked steak, consistent performance. I visited LD several years ago and was excited to go back last night. I wanted a steak and a spot at the bar to celebrate an occasion. They delivered. Bartender was lovely and charismatic. For food, I’d had a mix of their offerings before, they’re great, but I wanted simple this time. Steak, bread, Mac, dessert. I’ll be back, thank you LD for the great experience.

A home run! Just loved the whole vibe and menu here which was both elevated and so distinctly Texan. It made for the perfect dinner for our one night in Austin. The service was both friendly and helpful with our server providing great recommendations for our first visit here. We started with a buck and pork belly charcuterie which was a nice starter. The rattlesnake rabbit sausage was outstanding - flavorful and and juicy, perfectly balanced by the crispy potatoes. For mains we had the elk and rabbit ravioli. Of the two, the elk was the star. Perfectly cooked with a wonderful rub, it was my favorite dish of the night. The rabbit was also very good, though we found the sauce a bit on the salty side. The ancho lava cake was the perfect finish - delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful evening!

This place is hands down the best place in Texas to dine in at. Your money spent here is well worth every bite!! The atmosphere is jaw-dropping! There are so many awesome feature at this establishment. The food is to die for. Everything was delicious. The plate setting was gorgeous. Each plate had it own textures and flavors beautifully displayed. Drinks were amazing and exactly the same with each glass poured. Alexis was our waitress tonight. She was so kind, knew the menu as if she wrote it, checked on us every couple of minutes to reassure us that we were satisfied. I couldn't have asked for a better night out on the town! 100% I will be back when visiting!
