We quite like the cool, comfortable ambience; a mix between sleek and cozy at this small stone cottage near Lake Travis, and the artwork on the walls and neat display of wine bottles provide fodder for lively conversation. A masterful salad of Bibb let-tuce topped with strawberries, honey-tossed pistachios, and creamy feta warmed our in-sides, but our entrées sent us to a new level. The pecan-crusted snapper with lemon beurre blanc over cornbread pudding wowed (a delightful mix of textures), but we were un-abashedly envious of our companion's velvety espresso-rubbed smoked elk back strap topped with Gulf Coast crab and a chipotle-lime “beer blanc.” Warm cherry flambé atop home-made vanilla bean ice cream proved the per-fect ending.
