Okay, here are those three listings, pasted below and attached as a word document. Can I get dibs on the following listings for delivery within a week, please?Aquarelle
Aussie's Beach Bar & Grill
Baja Fresh Mexican Grill
Bellagio Italian Bistro
The Boiling Pot
Broken Spoke
Carlos'n Charlie's
Central Market Cafe
Cold Stone Creamery
Dan McKlusky's Restaurant
Dirty Martin's Place
Dave & Buster's
Irie Bean Coffee House
No other coffee bar in Austin can hope to compete with Irie Bean in the non-existent "Kookiest Special Events Encompassing Appropriate Drink Specials" competition; whether it be a presentation of Cool Runnings accompanied by discount Red Stripes or a viewing of Dazed and Confused paired with cheap tallboys, there's usually something going on to break up the monotony of screwing around on one's laptop (Irie Bean also constitutes an increasingly notable venue for local singer-songwriters). Other charms of note include organic coffee, friendly baristas, interesting regulars, and a huge backyard sporting some sort of crazy earth-and-grass sofa. Great For: Getting work done, not getting work done. Entrees: $2 - 6 (2310 S. Lamar, 326-4636)
Alligator Grill
Even if you don't make it down to South Austin too often, you've probably already seen the interior of Alligator Grill; the dining/tavern combo served as the setting of Office Space's wacky-suburban-chain-restaurant send-up. In reality, the place itself is actually a nice concept, incorporating the best aspects of bar (one inside, another cabana-style setup on the deck), venue (plenty of local bands and some touring shows to boot), family seafood joint (the signature deal being the ten-cent oyster happy hour), arcade (Mortal Kombat III!), and sports bar (flat screens abound) while somehow managing not to alienate any particular demographic. Great For: Everything, apparently. Entrees: $5 - 12 (3003 S. Lamar, 444-6117)
Iron Cactus
Though its name seems to evoke that of some radical Southwestern fascist movement, the Iron Cactus only resembles such a frightening and inevitable prospect insomuch as that the interior of each of its several locations are done up in a style that's decidedly more modernistic than one normally expects from a purveyor of Tex-Mex, and which consequently makes the place more attractive to youngish professionals (and that goes double for the downtown location, which sports one of the best roof patios in the area). The grub of residence, meanwhile, is largely traditional while veering into wacky fusion territory only when appropriate. Great For: When only Chipotle Chicken Poppers will do. Entrees: $6 - 15 (10001 Stonelake, 794-8778; 606 Trinity, 472-9240)

Thanks Barrett.
You have carte blanche to pitch me on food picks and features. This is an ongoing process, so I'll always need fresh reviews.
Here's the W9 again (file name: unknown.pdf) Let me know if it still doesn't come through.
