The Souvenir Menu – Cool River Café

For many years I worked in north Austin and the Cool River Café on Parmer Lane was always a popular choice for lunch with a Sales Rep or Client.

For a change, I recently had dinner at Cool River and was pleased on several fronts.  On a cold night, the restaurant was warm and comfortable, the food and wine were great, … [Read more...]
