I recently dined at this restaurant for the first time, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. As guests of the Omni Barton Creek, we had access to a back entrance, but I was surprised to see the entryway cluttered with boxes and chairs, which didn’t create the best first impression.
Our waiter was wonderful—personable and friendly—and he did an excellent job of informing us about the off-menu items.
Now, onto the food. We started with the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, which were delicious but quite heavy. In retrospect, we probably shouldn’t have ordered them, as they filled us up and made it hard to enjoy the rest of our meal.
For the main course, my wife chose the seabass with risotto and asparagus. Initially, we hesitated but because the waiter assured us the risotto was light, my wife decided to give it a try, but I can confidently say it was quite rich. Unfortunately, my wife couldn’t eat much of it, and for $70, it felt like a waste.
On the other hand, my New York strip was fantastic—generous portions that I couldn’t finish. The glazed carrot was impressive, large, and very tasty. However, the baked potato was similar to what you’d find at Outback Steakhouse, but not quite as substantial.
Overall, the experience was decent, but I probably wouldn’t return. Since we were celebrating our 32nd anniversary at the hotel, it was convenient to dine here. I’d rate it a solid 4 out of 5, but with some room for improvement.
