Great Food! Great Service!! Sad to see it go!

We will miss everything about RedBud. It was our favorite place to go for appetizers and drinks. The staff was very friendly. There really is not any more good restaurants to go to in Westlake. We hope something new and good comes along.

• Pros: Great Palce
• Cons: It is closed!

seems to me....

that in this world of ours, sometimes you dont get what you expect. As in this resturant, we heard that it was a nice place to go. As it turns out it was just a mere below average resturant.... too bad.....

• Pros: none, it is closed
• Cons: worst food, and experience ever.

We loved everthing about this place!!!

WOW! We loved everything about this place. We are sorry there has ever been a bad review. We started off with the Seared Ahi Tuna and the Oysters contraband. The Oysters are very similar to the ones at Jeffery's, but RedBud's oysters are better and less expensive. My wife had the Seared Salmon that was cooked perfectly and I had the Chicken Fried Steak that was hands down, the best I have ever had. The cream gravy is homemade with peppered smoked bacon drippings. I was sorry when I was finished! For dessert she had the Carrot Cake which was fresh and moist and I had the Amarretto Pear which was to die for. It had creme brulee, sliced pears, amarretto and whipped cream. WOW!

Our server was attentive, but not overly so and our food arrived in a timely organized manner.

We will definitely be back!

• Pros: We loved everything about this place!
• Cons: NONE!

Good bar and restaurant, affordable and not overly crowded or loud

Great bar. I think they have T.V. too, so you can enjoy a cocktail and watch some sports. Delicious seafood, sauteed spinach, burgers, salads, and the best deserts in town. Save up for the calories, because their desserts are sensational. It's not too crowded at night. I would recommend it for a group, you'll be able to hear each other. Conveniently located close to MoPac and Bee Cave Rd., Nordstrom's and Barton Creek Mall are a short distance away, as well as downtown Austin and Zilker Park. It's O.K. for kids too. I haven't ever had a problem with the staff, they have been very good.

• Pros: Not too loud or too crowed. Great food and especially great desserts.
• Cons: Not one I know of.

awful service

by clay_1024 at Citysearch

Redbud has the poorest excuses for wait help I've ever experienced. This establishment is beautifully decorated & has a wonderful relaxed atmosphere, and the food is pretty good. The sevice that is received (or I should say LACK OF) is sure to cause this resturaunt to fail. My advice would be to get rid of the Westlake "brats" that are working there , and get a proffessional wait staff to properly service your customers.

• Pros: good ambience
• Cons: HORRIBLE service
