by John C. on Genius, all I can say is genius. We went to Woodfire tonight and had the chef's five course tasting menu. We started with a shrimp trio, followed by a trout over potatoes with pork cracklings (think essence of fish and chips), then quail and pork belly over lady peas, then lamb loin and sweetbreads, finished with a dessert of coca-cola cake and inverted root beer float. The quail would have to rate in the top five dishes I ever tasted. Overall, just excellent in every way. Excellent service, who explained every dish and wine pairing perfectly.
by Layla P. on I faintly recall going here one night when I was living in Austin, but my memory was refreshed on New Years Eve. It was cool -they had a free glass of champagne at midnight, there was a mad dash to get a glass but then it didn't seem like any of the waitstaff was worried about running out - someone actually came around and refilled our glass after midnight which was unexpected and very much appreciated. The bathroom situation was ridiculous downstairs, I wish I had read the review about the existence of a bathroom upstairs! The dancefloor was full and people seemed to be having a good time with the music - the DJ was from London, or York was it...?
by Margeret Sohn on If I only have $150 to spend on a hotel room and I wanna be within walking distance to Jimmy Kimmel Live so I can watch Sarah Silverman say something racist and/or politically incorrect (She's everywhere lately, Jimmy's probably bitter this is the only chance he gets to see her) then this is where I'm gonna stay. If you spent more than $150 on a room here and it didn't include free use of the minibar, pay-per-view or hookers, then you got ripped off.
