This is a cozy little place for a couple or small group and very close many restaurants and coffee shops on S. Lamar. We ate at Barlata and other locations so didn't cook much. Our dog enjoyed the shady backyard but there are quite a few steps to get to it ( a challenge for her as she's an older dog). There is some remnant construction debris on the side - a watchout for kids and pets. The local park is 150 feet away and has greenspace and a kids playground. The neighborhood is gentrifying like much of the Zilker and S. Austin areas so you may hear construction noises but we found it to be peaceful. There is a nice picnic area in the front to enjoy as well. Greg is great to work with.
