Ever since Quails closed its doors, this area has desperately needed a "good" eatery. The problem with Williamson County "dining" is that many judge the quality of the food by the cost...it's over-expensive so it has to be good. Enter Criallo's with a bang. Owned by the nearby wine store, it frequently features luscious wine tastings - 5 or 6 courses with selected pairings.

You are greeted with a smile and notice a piano and bar to the left, large booths to the right and a relaxed atmosphere. The unusual gourmet food does not resemble anything like the ready-made stuff offered by the numerous chains. From appetizer to dessert, it is quality, originality and service. I cannot say enough good things about this place.
