"We celebrated my husband's birthday (party of 10) and were so pleased! My original reservation asked to set us up outside, but when we got there it was just a bit too warm and windy. So we asked to Keely to move inside. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The waiter, Jeff, was just outstanding! He was very attentive to the needs of our guests and gracious. Everyone raved about the food. We are so grateful that Gumbo's made our celebration so special!"

"From the moment I called to see if we could arrive earlier than our reservation until the time we walked out of the door, it was outstanding. Wait staff was attentive, congenial and accomodating. Food was excellent - the portions were appropriate (I appreciate it when restaurants don't give you such large portions you have to take half home) and it was just a very enjoyable experience."

"Wedge salad was wonderful. Soups excellent as well. The chocolate custard was one of the best desserts I have ever had. I had to restrain myself from licking the plate! Service couldn't have been better. I wish they had not shortened the brunch menu for Mother's Day, but what we had we enjoyed very much."

"My wife had the Parmesan crusted halibut, it was a special they were running with a coconut sauce. She loved it - delicious and cooked perfectly. I ordered the NY Strip, it was also cooked perfectly, was really juicy. We love the food here, our service is always fantastic, love the outdoor patio on nice nights. We also enjoy their brunch on Saturday and Sunday mornings."

"The food was excellent. Service was slow and although the restaurant was not crowded, they seemed understaffed. Missed simple things like providing linen and silverware. Had to be asked twice to get them. Appetizers served after main course due to mixup and also had some mixups on side dishes.
We will go back again though as the food was that good and the service, while haphazard, was done with smiles."

"Ate here on a Saturday night. I took my wife here for her Birthday. We had eaten at the Gumbo's location downtown many times before but since it's closed we decided to try the Bee Caves location. The food was just as good but the restuarant at bee caves has a much more informal, neighborhood feel, not like the more upscale, elegant feel of the downtown location."

"It has been many, many years since I have not given a tip.
The service was so bad that we almost left. From bringing out bread to getting our drinks (20min) to getting our food. (Not quite an hour).
We asked our waitress politely several times that we had a show to go to but I finally had to go to a manager and ask to cancel the order before it finally came out.
Also, after taking our salad plates she did bit replace the fork or knives so we waited again.
The food was good but a restaurant is also about the experience."

"Our previous experiences with this location of Gumbo's are bad. My wife and I decided to give it one final chance - and we're happy we did. The reception staff still needs some coaching, but our waiter was great and the food was excellent. They have a very small wine list, but the bottle pricing is outstanding. We will happily continue returning as long as the service, food quality, and wine pricing remain the same as this visit!"

"food seems to get better and better and we all truly enjoyed each of our plates. It's a great cozy restaurant, but yet energetic on the patio where they had great live entertainment....so you get the best of both worlds for atmosphere....there's also a great cozy fireplace out on the patio!
our waitress was very sweet and helfpul...sometimes the drinks came out a tad slow, but perhaps the bars fault?? ...would definitely go back!!!"

"We went there for Valentines thinking it would be similar to the old Gumbos downtown. It was nothing like it. Far from intimate or upscale. We asked for bread twice, had empty water glasses multiple times, our orders were messed up- when I asked the waiter what a sauce was, she asked to look at my menu to see how it was spelled. My steak and sides came out saturated in the sauce the steak was marinated in. It was too salty too finish. The vegetables and grits were sitting in the sauce as well. Part of our disappointment came from the hope it was like the other restaurant. However we both decided we would not go back even if the situation was different. The food was too expensive for the quality and service."

Steaks are fantastic but I seem to have a 50/50 shot of getting it cooked the correct temperature on the first shot."
