Pretty darn good!

I had the pecan crusted lamb , and it was very tasty....only complaint is that there wasn't a broad selection of wines by the glass to better pair with it. I will return!

Excellent Patio - Wonderful Brunch

by ABonilla at Citysearch

I am so excited we are about to live right across the lake from this place.

We had brunch there for the first time Sunday and absolutely loved it. While it's $25/person, they food choices are excellent for a brunch with both a buffet and unlimited ordering off a set menu with several kinds of eggs, chicken and waffles, omelets, etc. Mimosa's are only a $1, so you won't run up your bill with alcohol. My husband can really get his money's worth on an all-you-can eat so the price didn't bother us.

The patio is amazing, I will definitely make it over for a happy hour or two. To top it off, they are on "Restaurants-dot-com" (Yelp won't let me use the traditional version of spelling for that) - so you can get great coupons.

Love it!

• Pros: Atmosphere, Food
• Cons: A little on the expensive side, couldn't do it every day

Amazing Brunch

by penelopem at Citysearch

We enjoyed the multi-course brunch on the beautiful deck on a nice day. The chef could not have better executed the chicken & waffles: fried chicken, belgian waffles and buttery syrup. It's one of those dishes that you will undoubtedly find yourself craving every once in a while. I make it a point to tell any newcomer or visitor to Austin to go check out what Paggi has to offer.

• Pros: beautifully decorated space
• Cons: watch your gratuity

Nice ambience, decen food, not every nice owner

by nalica at Citysearch

The food at Paggi is pretty good and the paito is very beautiful. We like the patio so much that we want to hold our wedding there. As we talked to the owner, the price she wanted was more than many major wedding venues around town, just to hold half of the house for a private dinner. We were stunned by the price but still interested. However, she became rude and stopped replying our email so we turnes elsewhere. Recetly we went back for the sunday brunch. The food was pre-made and they just heated it up. For the price they charge, I feel that they could afford making some of the dishes fresh. Combining with our interaction wih the owner earlier, it just feels like the restaurant owner cares more about making money than the customers. It is really too bad that their restaurant is the nicest looking one in town.

• Pros: The place is very beautiful
• Cons: The owner is rude

Mother's Day Brunch - Good food, Service lacking.

by acasteel at Citysearch

Had reservations for Mother's Day brunch. Beautiful day, beautiful place. First time dining there. Great menu. Brunch took three hours. I knew someone with reservations as well had to be waiting on our table. We saw three different servers and never knew which one was ours. Drink orders were taken and brought out at different times. Second (main) course took forever. I figured a brunch with a set menu would be easy to get out hot and fast but it just wasn't the case. Little things we asked for like splenda, salt and ketchup and and extra fork were asked for but forgotten. Our water glasses were empty. We rarely saw a server. It was just odd. I'm going to chalk it up to a bad day, bad server. We will try again.

• Pros: Food was great, Atmosphere was beautiful.
• Cons: Service was below average, SLOW.
