Taverna Austin (Downtown) | The Baci Room

This was my favorite restaurant. I made a reservation for my birthday. We came at 8pm. My husband and best friend went to the table while I went to use the restroom. I never ran into a server or manager. Just walked back to my table. That day was my 48th birthday celebration and we had gone indoor skydiving. Then went to my condo to get ready for dinner. We each had one glass of wine while getting ready. Upon getting back to the table I said hello to our server and asked that my husband choose a wine. At this point he told me his manager "heard me slurring" and so did he. And that he could not serve me. I was so confused. I was not intoxicated at all! I thought maybe it was my new invisilign trays that made someone think I was slurring? I asked to see the manager that "heard me slurring" and she came to the table. I had never seen her. Her name was Samantha. The server said his name was Ryan. Because I was sober, I tried to reason that maybe they had maybe mistaken me for someone else or misunderstood my speech with my new mouth pieces. I can't stress how humiliating that was. I was mortified. I even went so far to let them know I lived close and we took a Lyft. Even though I was not drunk or acting drunk. I have no other words. Just humiliated. We walked to another nice restaurant that did not think I was at all intoxicated and had a lovely dinner there. I was reminded my my friends that I should mention that I suffer from a stutter. At the time I did not mention because I was acting like a proper lady and thought my explanation of my mouth pieces were enough.

We really enjoyed our brunch here. The $3 bellinis are tasty for the price :) and our waitress was attentive and kind. Ive been here numerous times and have always been impressed by the quality of the food.

Love love love Traverna for their chocolate Lava cake dessert! Its one of the best ones Ive ever had! The starters are all great. We get the squash zucchini chips every time when we go! They come with a dip that is to die for. If you want the pasta in the cheese wheel, you need to be seated inside. They cant do the cheese wheel presentation in the outdoor seating area unfortunately. The Chopped salat is amazing and you can change the protein from Chicken to salmon. When its someones birthday you get a free dessert! We got an amazing Panna Cotta! Parking: Parking Garage is close by and the restaurant can validate your ticket. You just need to tell the waiter Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to get into the restaurant!
