Aji Sushi
Nice weeknight sushi date with a lower price point than 40 Tempura.
Decent sushi rolls with fresh flavor. Out of the 4 rolls we got, the Tiger Roll would not stay together with chopsticks, but that could just be user error.
Not bad. Loved the classic rock contributing to the overall relaxed atmosphere. Server was kind and checked in the exact right amount of times.

Sidecar Tasting Room
We arrived at our Airbnb late Friday night for a romantic weekend.
The atmosphere was very relaxed but fun. Live music via piano player was going on when we got there. Anne helped us choose drinks - I got 2 flights of 3 wines and a full glass of one and my boyfriend got some dark stout beer.
It was the perfect place to ease into our weekend. Anne ended up giving us some brochures for around town and just made some casual recommendations for things to do and really set us up for the next couple days. Would definitely go back. Bought a Viognier and Alicante Bouschet to take home ❤️

Texas Hill Country Olive Co.
The good: we LOVED the oil tasting and the balsamics! Our tasting guide Carol let us sample SO MANY oils and vinegars and we would have loved to have taken home one of everything if it were in the budget. The bourbon balsamic was out of this world.
The bad: we paid for the Extra Virgin 101 tour but it wasn’t as much of a tour as it was a look at the back room with a lecture by a guy who toed the line of being a little too political (maybe don’t talk about how “no one wants to work for $7.50 an hour anymore” when that’s literally an unlivable wage?) It was weird and a little long and I would have loved to see more of the property.
The ugly: one of the employees insinuated that I was pregnant by looking directly at my stomach and telling my fiancé he’ll want to be around for our kids (we were alone). They were really… intense about the health benefits of the olive oil and how you should be consuming a bottle a week. Overall not our favorite part of our visit to Dripping Springs.
