Everything was wonderful as well as our server Hope. We were visiting from Los Angeles and she gave…read moresome great recommendations and they were all on point. For me the Salisbury steak was the best I've ever had. I'm from the Midwest and that was a staple but when I got to Cali it was rare to find. Fun fact we own a family restaurant since 1983 and that was on the menu but people really didn't order it like that so we discontinued it. Maybe if it tasted like yalls it would've worked. Anyway whenever we are in Austin again we are coming straight there. I love the popcorn snack before the meal as well and that could've been my dinner by itself. Cool vibe as well throughout so keep up the good work! Oh and the burnt ends grilled cheese was amazing as well and the fries! ALLLLL GOOD!!!

When we walked into the Marriott we were greeted by a kind employee in the lobby who walked us over to the restaurant. We had a wonderfull waitress in Heaven and when the wife wanted the fresh pressed juice with a shot of vodka on the side she made it happen :) . For the first time I went non-alcoholic! That green juice was so good I had another. Now for the food: Deviled eggs, crab croquettes, grilled cabbage salad and shrimp tacos all pleased the palate! This was a great breakfast and it was nice to see the manager go over to the patrons to see that we were all taken care of. Iff you are in Austin please swing thru for good food and great service!

We chatted for about an hour and a half and did not see the place completely full, but enough to be busy. They provided a sample of crisps with an egg salad type of dip. It was tasty and a light surprise. The chicken and biscuits were amazing. The creamy sauce had a bit of jalapeño, giving it a distinct and light heat and flavor. The potatoes were like hashbrowns with great seasoning. The chicken was moist and delicious. Would absolutely come back for the food and service. Price-wise, $20-30 is about what it is per person.

He really made us feel welcome and provided us with many tips about what to do and where to eat in Austin. I especially appreciate his sharing how orange wine is made. When we come back to Austin, we will definitely go to Launderette for a meal and we hope to have John server

We were staying near the Austin airport and wanted a great dinner spot that wasn't overly far. The…read moreLaunderette ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. The food was incredibly creative while still feeling approachable and shareable. Every dish felt thoughtful and unique without being overcomplicated. The burrata with curry was unreal, the beet hummus was packed with flavor, the shrimp was perfect, and the desserts completely lived up to the hype. One of those menus where you immediately want to order more just to try everything. The atmosphere is also part of what makes it special. Tucked into a former laundromat in a quiet neighborhood, it has that effortlessly cool Austin feel. It was charming, relaxed, and unexpected. And the staff truly elevated the experience. Warm, polished, knowledgeable, and attentive without ever feeling pretentious. Absolutely worth the short drive from the airport area.

The best item we got was the steak tartare- so if you are there, try it out. The other items were under seasoned severely. Because the waiter was so not interested, I had to go grab salt myself. Very handsome man, if only he would smile. It was a Wednesday night so perhaps they were under staffed that night & really, you just never know the day someone's had. Way too citrusy oddly dressing on the Caesar. The shrimp were cooked well but the dressing was so disappointing & certainly not Caesar. (The food has never been exceptional - oh, how I wish it was good. I love seafood & it's a lovely location that I really, really want to fall in love with.) We are at the Omni about 4-5 times a year - it's beautiful - highly recommend the overall experience. For food however, do yourself a favor and head to Bob's for great food or Crenshaw's for more casual options (great fish & ships, salads with grilled shrimp & sandwiches). We both walked out saying, this is the last time because there are just so many other options nearby.

The menu changes seasonally which is always a good sign that fresh, high-quality ingredients are being used. This visit, I went with the three-course option for $55: the ahi tuna tataki, Georges Bank scallops and blue corn pudding. Everything was excellent, but the tuna was the clear standout as the presentation alone is a real showstopper. My only minor critique was the tomatoes in the scallop dish, which were a bit too large and ripe for my taste. That said, the service here is consistently impressive. I especially appreciated that the manager stopped by to introduce himself, a thoughtful touch you don't see very often anymore. They also validate parking which makes it easy to visit, especially if you're pairing dinner with something else nearby. I'm already looking forward to seeing what new dishes they roll out next season.

We did the 3 course for $55 deal - everything was masterfully crafted and just a pure culinary sensation. The dishes were also so incredibly beautiful and had fresh, local garnishes on top. I had the pork belly appetizer (incredible), the scallop entree ( a tad rancid but the BBQ succotash and hush puppies were amazing), and the vegan black forest cake (deep cocoa and rich). Each dish had many sauces and components / veggies that melded together perfectly. The portions were generous too. BF had the cauliflower soup, steak, and blue corn pudding and said it was the best meal he's had in Austin too. The interior is dimly lit, classy, and romantic. Edgar was the best waiter I have ever had the delight of interacting with - he was polite, attentive, and the pinnacle of sophistication. I can't wait to come back!
