They mentioned it being slow lately, not sure what the deal is but the service workers went above and beyond and the seafood gumbo was surprisingly good so I am happy to support them :)
Found this restaraunt late in our trip to Austin and wish we had found it sooner! Our server was highly attentive and the food was 5 star! We had the swordfish special- it was prepared well and the presentation was lovely. Red Fish and Ahi Tuna mango salad were delicious and the Crab Mac was wonderful. New England Clam Chowder…..don’t second guess yourself…just….order…it.
Will visit again when in Austin!

Cafe Blue Downtown Austin serves delicious food, including ceviche, sea bass, shrimp, crab mac 'n cheese, and seafood crepes. The cocktails are well-balanced, but customers have noted that service can be slow, with drinks and food taking some time to arrive. Despite this, the staff is attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Some recent guests mentioned that the kitchen's closing time for desserts is important to keep in mind. The seafood gumbo has been praised as surprisingly good, and the swordfish special is prepared well with lovely presentation. Other popular dishes include Red Fish, Ahi Tuna mango salad, and the Crab Mac. The New England Clam Chowder is highly recommended, and the beignets with blueberry jelly are a nice surprise. While brunch can be quiet and some items like the avocado toast may lack toasting, the accompaniments such as salmon and hash browns are delicious. Overall, the restaurant has great potential, but attention to detail could elevate the experience further.
