This place is very underrated in the Austin restaurant scene. Great atmosphere, especially in warm weather when you can sit in the back patio. The cheese plates, wine, breads and salads are all very good, but the Ahi Tuna Steak is by far one of the best you will ever have!

So disappointed. With so few options in the neighborhood my husband and I kept giving this place a chance. Sadly, the food has been consistently terrible. The atmosphere is fine and the roof top is awesome but not worth going if you are at all hungry. All they need is a new chef/menu and they gave a gold mine.

This place is my new neighborhood haunt! I feel as if it was curated to just my liking. I have been twice, once for drinks and once for a full meal and both did not disappoint! Both times we sat in their outdoor seating, which captures the same ambiance as the inside with a perfect ambiance for a nice, long meal. The lighting is just right, which I'll say is a big thing for me in terms of getting down with a meal. I quite enjoyed that the seating was intimate enough for my pal and I to catch up, but also allowed me for some good conversation about what to order with the patrons to our right! They got the fried oysters and brussel sprouts which looked insanely delicious. The menu is ever changing in order to keep us eating the best produce and protein available, and my pal and I decided to go ahead with a seafood medley. First the crab toast, then the lobster salad, and wrapped up with the delicious grilled octopus. All of these dishes were so thoughtful, balanced, and FRESH! I would definitely order the grilled octopus every. single. time. Stuffed to the brim, we couldn't back down on dessert and got the rye and chocolate something or another, and despite having to be rolled home I was so stuffed, it was well worth the order. Desserts at Launderette are unreal so treat yourself! Parking is easy, or it is an incredibly easy walk from the Ceasar Chavez and Chicon area if you are strolling over. The kitchen is open late, and the drink menu is spot on.

I've come for dinner here but rarely lunch. My work group went for lunch the other day and we were impressed right off the bat. We were greeted in the parking lot by the manager valeting our car for free. Our table was all ready in the packed place. The waitress was prompt and attentive. I was most impressed with the managers assisting with serving and the owner refilling water. The food was really fresh and tasty!

Beautiful restaurant. We had a reservation and was seated as soon as we got there and was pleased. We ordered our drinks and an app waited over 30 minutes for the drinks to come from the bar one by one. It was 5 of us and the one who just ordered a glass of wine drink came last!!! We finally ordered our food after 30 mins of just sitting. Our food came (still no appetizer, was still waiting on that). Food was just mediocre. Not worth the hour and a half wait we had to endure to get it

I had a Kafta here. honestly I didn't even know what a Kafta was until it was in my mouth. and it was deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelightful! I don't come to this area of BU that often...(actually this was my first time) and it's not like Crispy Crepes made a burning impression in my head (i wouldn't go out of my way to come here, mostly because it's not very convenient), but judging from how much I enjoyed this little wrap, I would definitely give it another shot if I happen to be out in the area again :) the crepes looked gooood!
