"Bloomfield's first focus in Austin with the group is to revamp a California-inspired cafe, per Texas Monthly." - Melissa McCart
"A California-inspired cafe in Austin that the chef will prioritize revamping as one of her first projects with the hospitality group, according to Texas Monthly; the renovation is part of a broader effort to apply her deep understanding of seasonal produce and tip-to-tail butchery while mentoring rising culinary talent across the group’s operations." - Melissa McCart
"When summer dissolves into fall, you want the soups at Pecan Square Cafe. Maybe pumpkin or butternut squash, either of which comes with mint sprigs, large housemade croutons, and a dollop of yogurt. Both have a sweet earthiness that works nicely once Austin's grass has shed its unsightly brown. Enjoy yours in the dining room that kind of looks like the wood-paneled lake house you and your friends rented before everyone had kids and stopped seeing each other." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
"Any cocktail on the menu can be modified at this refined Clarksville New American restaurant, which replaces alcohol with Slow Luck’s non-alcoholic spirit, but it also boasts a menu of specialty mocktails. Try the espresso martini, made with Pathfinder Hemp and Root, Proud Marry espresso, and cherry syrup. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell
"Inspired by the California coastal community of Sea Ranch and San Francisco's Zuni Cafe, the food at Pecan Square is casual and seasonally driven (there’s even a whole roasted chicken on the menu). Where the restaurant really shines are the outstanding rustic handmade pastas, like the tender and exquisite goat milk ricotta raviolis and the tagliatelle with a bright, spring-y pesto and a spicy chili crunch." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
