Creek Road Cafe

If you're lucky enough to live in Austin, you're lucky enough to be miles away from the Hill Country. It's some of the most beautiful parts in the US (and no I'm not biased). One tiny town that falls in the rolling hills of Texas country is Dripping Springs. Although it doesn't have the touristy appeal of Fredericksburg, it does have a fantastic new restaurant called Creek Road Cafe. Chef and owner Chae Donahue has moved himself down from Washington State to provide fantastic food, quality, and service. We stopped in for lunch, but I immediately took a look at the dinner menu. It sounds impressive for a restaurant on the side of the highway. For lunch, we chose the Crabcake salad, HC Steak Salad, and French Silk Pie (one of my favorites). Fresh ingredients, exquisite talent, and good food will not disappoint. Our meal was perfect, and from what I can tell dinner would be as well. Be sure to stop in while you're driving to or from Austin. It's a not to miss spot. If you're in the mood for shopping, stop in at Cowgirls and Lace down the road for fantastic gifts and fabric.
