Today we had brunch, my husband had steak & eggs while I had the French toast. Hands down the best French toast I've ever had. Thick slices, soft, fluffy, infused with flavor in every bite! Steak & eggs were delicious as well. We love Desert Spoon for the high quality, homemade food, but also for the amazing ambiance and attention to detail. The restaurant and grounds are gorgeous. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Restaurant is so clean- they sanitize tables and the chairs after every customer. The music playing in background is not overpowering; it's there but not so loud that you can't have a conversation. It's is just a lovely experience every time.

We made reservations for the Valentine's 4 course menu and had the most wonderful time! We had patio seating next to the heater, which allowed us to take in the fields and stars all around. Being one of the late reservations, we had the luck of being the last served our steak and lobster, which left us 1 lobster tail short. Couldn't have happened to a better couple though because I happen to not like seafood! The owner came out to make things right, gave us a HUGE bouquet of flowers, and was so kind! We assured him that the meal was spectacular and we had a wonderful experience. We feel very lucky to have gotten to have such a special night together. They did also give my husband some shrimp to make up for the missing 2nd lobster tail which he says was the best part of the meal. 10/10 wou

From start to finish the atmosphere and ambiance that Trever and Merritt have created in their restaurant is a true hidden gem of the hill country. We took recommendations from the staff, both our server Manny and our friend Issac did not disappoint us. The Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini was the best I’ve ever had, wasn’t over powering in flavor but the perfect blend of spices. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary one for the books, with everything from helping with flowers and playing the song I walked down the aisle too, it was movie magic made into real life. I will recommend this place for years to come. Thank you Desert Spoon

From start to finish, most amazing experience for brunch. Trevor, our waiter always made sure we were alright. My wife had the French Toast which was about the size of half a loaf of bread. I had the Ranch Hand breakfast. For a $25 plate, the steak was mouth-watering amazing. Greatly portioned with two eggs, potatoes, and sour dough toast. We can't wait to come back for dinner!

Great service from Eric and amazing food. Highly recommend trying the fish tacos, but I’ll be back to try other brunch options! Awesome vibes and the owner / operator even stopped by to say hi. Good stuff!
