While the views are nice, I have always thought the food was horrible. However, we've spent many happy evenings there with friends, and I hope they rebuild soon.
We had a terrific lightning storm during the night, and I heard that the fire was caused by a lightening strike.
The restaurant is just up the road from Lakeway, where we live.
That use to be the case but they hired a new chef and upgraded the menu.

I took my sister, her family and my brother there last saturday night and the food was great! They were up from Louisiana for one of my daughters graduation and were totally impressed with the food and especially the view. A true Austin treasure is gone.
The food is much better of late.
When was the last time you ate there basil? We went on Mother's Day eve and it was pretty good. Much better than it was 5 years ago during our interview trip. I had the Tequila Lime Chicken....I think that is what it is called. Okay, no comments! Just bummed that we won't get to see a sunset there this summer. The sun was behind the clouds on MD.
