This is for sure the best wine pairing dinners in Austin’s where they are serving up fantastic food, interesting wines, complex pairings, in an understated, homey, neighborhood-y place. Highly recommend the pre-fixe menu with the wine pairing - such a fantastic experience! Just note, dinner will probably be 3 hrs long

We had the chef’s tasting menu and were not disappointed! Left very happy and satisfied with our experience.

We were very excited to try this restaurant and had heard great things so we opted for the 9-course tasting menu. While we understood it would take time, the experience lasted nearly 3 hours, which felt overly long. The service was fine but not particularly memorable, and unfortunately the food did not meet our expectations. We recognize that tasting menus feature smaller portions, but we all left still feeling quite hungry. Additionally, we found the wine pairings to be mismatched and not well-selected for the dishes served. For the high price point, the overall experience was disappointing, and we left feeling underwhelmed.

This was our second time visiting and it was just as great as the first. Service, quality, pricing, and ambiance are all exceptional. I can’t recommend this place enough. We’ll keep coming back.

Very knowledgeable wine guys, expert wine pairings, food simple and delicious. And it's a wine retail store, so you can take home a bottle of your fav at retail, not restaurant, prices! Admittedly we went a little nuts with wine pairings, and invited the very knowledgeable staff to pair wines with each dish we chose. Our server poured half glasses even so we could maximize our pairing experience! Great experience for us.

We have lived in Austin for almost 5 years and we have never experienced such an incredible meal as well as service. This is a must try restaurant! We will definitely be returning!!

I don't often feel compelled to write reviews, but I just had dinner at Apt 115 on Saturday evening, and WOW. This was my second time ordering their coursed menu, and I have to say that there's a reason why Michelin recommended them: the dinner's execution was technical and delicious and the wine pairings were stunning. My husband and I ordered 1 regular wine pairing and 1 fancy wine pairing and the wines that Joe selected were perfect...As a wine expert myself, he really understood the science of food and wine pairing and how umami, bitterness, spice, acid, and sweetness can affect a wine. Wine prices are reasonable, especially for Austin (and especially for someone who knows wine wholesale pricing), and that is so RARE! Joe, your passion shines through. Keep going!

The food, wine, service and ambiance (records spinning) are all 10/10. You really feel like you are dining at a relatives home who just so happens to have the best wine and food imaginable. The Alsace dinner was out of control, and the service was top notch! Thank y’all!
Parking: They have a parking garage, as well as a chase bank you can park at during dinner time.
A bit chaotic when walking in. The space is small, loud and a bit jarring. After we got settled in and had our wine things got on track. Outstanding wines. Definitely get the bread. Food was unique and excellent, you can tell that they are pushing boundaries and doing things the right way. Server was attentive at the right times. This is the kind of place that I wish was a neighborhood walk from my house.

Got there at 7:30pm for dinner. Fast forward to 9:00pm and we still didn’t even get the first course of the 5 course meal. No heads up no apologies, worst service I’ve seen in Austin. Just walked out

Our waiter Justin was amazing. Super friendly and knowledgeable. The food was very good, they went out of their way to please us (i.e. going to get a diet coke to the store because they didnt have). What drives my rating is that our reservation was at 5:00pm, hungry and ready to eat, and got our first apettizer at 6:40pm. The delay between dishes was so long that the whole dinnner took 4 hours. Not an exaggeration. Durantion was a bad surprise.

Wonderful pasta dishes in a quaint restaurant that has an apartment feel. Loved the look and relaxed nature of the place. The staff was very attentive and willing to answer the many questions we had.

We ordered the crab pasta and the charcuterie board. Both were good, but the crab pasta was a bit cold. I’m not sure if that was intentional but I like my pasta to be warm. The service was very friendly and attentive. The ambience and design is visually inviting, but it compromises comfort as the room is a bit too dark to read the menus and too loud to have a conversation with your companion so it can feel a bit frustrating at times. All in all I enjoyed the meal and the wine but I feel that the ambience could use some adjustments to make it more comfortable for the guests. I also did not like to see a 3% “credit card surcharge” added to the bill. I’ve never seen this before especially not at a restaurant at this price point.
