The beautiful wife and I had worked demolotion both saturday and sunday at our wimberley property. It was time for the Austin Restaurant Week 2 reward.


yes, it was in the 80's outside (May in TX) but that A/C in the W hotel works really well. Kat likes to warm her bones by the fire in their Living Room.
Then we went on to dinner at Finn and Porter:

They greeted us with some sparkling wine.

We started with a Trio of Tartare, each served over a tempura shiso leaf.
Then we dove into the Austin Restaurant Week menu, two savory, one sweet per person.
