We didn't even finish dessert, which is a real shame. My friend was mortified that they expected him to eat his chocolate mousse with his hands.įurthermore, I had boasted about Elizabeth Street Cafe's pastries, so my friends ordered the beignets, which came out burnt and overdone.
When we paid the bill and then ordered dessert, it was brought to the table without any utensils. We were given a bill before being asked if we wanted dessert. However, towards the end of the meal, the service suffered, and this is why I give this visit 3 stars. The food was excellent, and we had leftover pho. We started with the Steamed Rice Rolls as an appetizer then my friend and I shared the Vegetarian Pho (#34A on the menu) and the Fried Egg, Crispy Pork Belly, Avocado and Mint Banh Mi (#23). Seating is limited, and we were able to get an inside table for five people (The hostess was very accommodating when I needed to change my reservation last minute from 2 people to 5 people. However, I had a friend in town that I wanted to impress, so I made an Opentable reservation for dinner, which I needed to do about two weeks in advance. I have been to Elizabeth Street Cafe many times during my 12 years of living in Austin, and it is one of my favorites for Sunday brunch. Last Saturday night, a group of friends and I visited Elizabeth Street Cafe in Austin, Texas.
