Seems like a good fit to me. Maybe a lot of Austinites haven't come to terms yet with the fact that Austin is no longer a small Bohemian town.

Are places like Ruth's Chris, Sullivan's, Truluck's, Mckormich and Schmidt's also better suited for Dallas or LA?

A lot of the same people who look down on establishments like Qua are the same people who buy ridiculously overpriced food at Whole Foods, pay $4 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks or the like, and spent countless hours shopping in thrift stores in a vain effort to look and be "hip".

How can people say QUA is out of place in Austin when you have 2-10 Million dollar homes hanging off the cliffs overlooking Town Lake just a stones throw away?

I say bring it on!!!
