My third time in as many months entertaining out of town guests here. Game packets and pot stickers were wonderful. Venison was pronounced by my guest as the best he's eaten Salmon nachos, mahi- all was just terrific.

Good wine list with reasonable prices. Wonderful views of the Riverwalk. Service was outstanding; curteous and attentive. Loved our salads-delicious homemade dressings. My husband had duck cooked to perfection; I had the baked chicken, tender and seasoned well. We also had a cheese/desert plate that was quite creatively displayed! Only disappointment was a side of truffle grits-gummy and tasteless. Everything else was great-would go back!

We hosted a party of 8 and were served in the private dinning room. The duck was wonderful, lamb chops were sumptous. Appetizers were great as was dessert. They had a great wine list. The staff was top notch. We were enchanted with our waitress. A great way to spend an evening.

We went with a group of 11. Excellent food and ambiance. The vegetable pot de creme was interesting and delicious. I enjoyed the Mahi with jalapeno mashed potatoes. Souffle was perfect. Everyone at the table loved their dishes. Not one negative thing to say about our experience.

This review is for Auden's Kitchen, I just had lunch there and loved the place.Still needing to polish the service as in any newly open restaurant but trying hard to please. Decor is excellent going along with the theme.The menu well chosen, something for eveyone. Nice selection of wines. My fried chicken was "yummy" and the mashed potatoes "super". I did leave room for dessert and the chocolate cake was just for chocolate lovers. A success!
