    This is the cutest wine bar in Austin! I just moved to an apartment nearby and saw that this was Michelin recommended and needed to check it out. The food was incredible, the wine selection is unique and eclectic, and the staff is so kind! They offer great advice on wine pairings and explain in ways that even the most novice wine drinker would appreciate! They do all the little things that make you feel like you're getting a true Michelin restaurant experience! We ordered dinner and a charcuterie board but I could definitely see myself walking in to get a bottle of wine any day! Loved the experience and can't wait to come back

    One of the best, interactive meals I've had in years. It starts with the space, a "studio apartment" with a quasi commercial kitchen. The space is small, intimate - in a very good way. Adding to the atmosphere is a vinyl soundtrack of excellent selections. Motley Crue when we walked in and ending with the six album Swans performance. Ridiculous! Every dish was well done on such a small kitchen. The concept plays through extraordinarily well. Particularly with Chef Grae Nonas, of Le Cowboy at the helm. How does he get this food out of that kitchen? Talent, truly! He's doing it alone, save the very good staff assisting. We chose the Chef's Tasting with Wine Pairing and several supplements from the main menu. Wine choices are on point. Eclectic, yet serious. They have a wine club for those interested and within shipping distance. You won't be disappointed. Joe is your host for the evening. He's your DJ. He's also the Sommelier and guide. On a good night, you might be able to chill after hours with the team. Just saying... Best seats, if you're interactive, is the 4-seat bar. Otherwise, sit in the six table dining area. Dare I mention, Michelin Recognized...

    It pains me to do so, but I sadly have to give my experience at Apt 115 (during the Le Cowboy collab) a sub-par rating. The service was friendly but the food took WAY too long to come out. They have a TINY kitchen thats literally just a small corner of the bar where all the food is prepared. We ordered a couple courses and in between each course was 30-45 minutes of wait time. We were seated at 5:45p and didn't leave until after 8p. We ended up needing to cancel our after-dinner plans because the pacing was so off. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if the portions were larger, but we would literally finish a course in a matter of minutes and then sit around waiting another 30-45 minutes before more food arrived on the table. With that said, the food was good! I just wish it was faster.

    One of the best experiences I've had in a long time. Loved watching the chef prepare the dishes with meticulous care. Great wine list you won't find in most restaurants. A hidden gem!

    Only complaint is that it's so small there aren't enough seats in the bar/restaurant! This is our second time dining here and wow, was everything excellent. The pastas are delicate house made and delicious. The wine pairing was fantastic. I would eat here every weekend.

    A cozy, intimate restaurant with a true apartment kitchen setup. I was blown away by the dedication of the chef and service; it was truly a dinner party to remember. The flavor theme of grapefruit began with the delightfully smelling soap in the bathroom, travelled through a fantastic, fun-textured sashimi in ponzu course, and ended with a refreshingly juicy fruit brûlée dessert. These were absolute highlights of the night, as well as fresh strawberry jam with bread and cheeses, and a flavorful duck leg. Other dishes were solid for the most part-- I found the duck leg to be a tad tough and the shrimp and macaroni to be forgettable, however, it was all in all a very pleasant experience for a $70 prix menu. Very rarely do I care about restaurant concepts, but this one was really neat. The location itself was a commercial unit within an apartment, and it was, alas, unit 115. The space was inviting and lovely; I definitely felt like I was enjoying a nice meal at a friend's. The owner and chef certainly felt like friends I would want to chat up again! Thanks for having us!

    First off, I want to say that Apt 115 is a super interesting concept, the staff is very friendly, and the service is top tier. Easily 10/10 service. It also wasn't incredibly expensive for fine dining ($90 after tax and tip). Apt 115 is hosted within a cozy, 1x1 apartment building, where the apartment kitchen is the kitchen they use. There's no backdoor kitchen or anything. There's one chef and he makes everything using everyday cooking appliances like hotplates and microwaves. The theme that day was grapefruit, and almost everything, including the bathroom soap (which smelled really really good) had a hint of grapefruit. We started off with oysters, which were super creamy and very smooth. No fishy flavor at all. Next, we had fatty yellowfin tuna covered in some homemade sauce that made it explode with flavor. There were some crunchy onion crisps on top that added to the texture. Probably one of the best dishes I've had, period. We then had shrimp and some cocktail sauce, which was okay but not anything crazy. Afterwards, we had a duck leg, which was flavorful but a bit tough--I wonder if it could've been steamed for longer. Once we had finished, our server brought out a basket full of bread and a cutting board with three different cheeses on top. Now, I'm not really a cheese person, but these cheeses were so good. The strawberry jam that came with it was practically heaven in a dish. I would've paid for just the jam. The last dish was a grapefruit brûlée. It had a crispy, thin layer of melted sugar coating the top. Underneath was the sweet and citrusy fruitiness of the grapefruit. Very well done. I should note the flowers and most of the decorations were edible and actually tasted pretty interesting. I wish the shrimp and the duck leg were a bit better, and that there were larger portions (I had to eat another meal afterwards to feel full), but overall I'm satisfied with what Apt 115 had to offer. I would definitely recommend this place to someone else, but would know that you probably won't be full after your meal. A very very high 4 stars from me.

    An interesting restaurant in an interesting neighborhood. I did the chefs tasting menu. The food was great- the duck and the mushroom toast were pretty good. Murder point oyster from Alabama was delish! I was at the bar and could see they were running out of a lot of stuff on a "slow evening" per my server. Eg- they ran out of mint crema for my dessert and I just got a brûléed fruit- not bad just not what's on the menu or what I expected. Def do the tasting menu, you won't regret.

    Fully disclosure: Food was great and the flavors were amazing BUT do not go here expecting to come out and be full. Like this is the place you go where you're not starving but also want to just try fun flavors. We went for a friends birthday and had chosen the 5 course pre-fix menu. Below is what we ate: 1st course:Tomato salad over pistachio hummus 2nd course: Hamachi topped with garlic chili crisp 3rd course: POACHED TILEFISH Bok Choy, Seaweed, Oyster Butter 4th course: Tofu with consume & LETTUCE WRAP with Lion's Mane Mushroom 5th course: Butternut squash with mole Dessert: Pear ice cream It's a super small place and service was great. It's a place to go and try it out but for sure not to get full.

    This was one of my favorite meals I've ever had. The meals were so inventive. The service was IMPECCABLE. And the wine program was amazing, and the owner and staff were so knowledgeable about all the wines. I even went home with two bottles.

    The chefs tasting menu was all good except for the crab tasting bun one when eaten you get a burst of crab flavor which over powered the dish in my opinion. Aside from that presentation was very nice and food was a good interactive experience. The desserts were all very tasty. The service was attentive for the whole night. The decor inside was old to modern looking in some areas but fun as well. Gave your eyes something to look at. Music plays from a vinyl record so it's really nice.

    Preserved Strawberry
    Stephanie K.

    My sign of a great meal is if, coming to a close, I'm delighted even before receiving my bill. That's the way things go in this struggling economy (and I run a tight ship even on the best days). The wine list is brief but finely curated, no wrong picks. I cannot wait to return on a sunny day to try the Jamon Iberico tasting on the patio. This being my maiden visit, I was striving for balance, starting with a light preserved strawberry and fennel salad. The strawberries were sweet tart up along crunchy fennel underlaid by a pistachio purée with the rich consistency of foie. Texturally complex, a treat, but the flavors didn't quite come together for me. Maybe cheese? Let's get down to business. The menu changes frequently, and I'm guessing this is not seasonally appropriate for too much longer, so whether you go it alone as I did or grab a romantic date (setting is prime for both situations) make with a quickness to order the Spiced Goat Leg. Served up like a brand new approach to biscuits and gravy - ALL the comforts of the original, lush and freshly done like never before. Three piping hot buttery Parmesan scallion biscuits with a gentle doughy sweetness saddle up next to pulled goat, only gently gamey, in a rich broth from marrow bone and pickled scallion for continuity and range that will have your palate jumping for joy. Paired with a lovely GSM, I was so satisfied, I didn't even order dessert! Service is genuine, knowledgeable, authentically Austin. What a great spot to spend a happy hour or many on end.

    - Winter vegetables: Butternut squash butterfly, Carrot jerky,  Turnip cake with caviar
    Marsha C.

    Small, non-assuming space with a cozy atmosphere inside. They have a rolling ladder for the wine shelves on one of the walls and cute candles on the tables. The food was tasty and artistic. We did the chef's 10-12 course tasting menu and it did not disappoint. The first course was my favorite in terms of looks. The butterfly squash crisps, carrot jerk and turnip cake with caviar sat perfectly on a beautifully decorated log. Every dish was very delicious but a few stood out and were my favorites - the Duck soup dumplings, the goat and biscuits, and the wagyu short rib. The palette cleanser before dessert reminded me of a golden egg but tasted like a fruit gusher. There were a couple of dishes that were a bit saltier than I would have liked - the goat and mushroom soup. Tip: if you get the sweet potato cereal and love super sweet, you can pour the whole thing. But if you are like me and only like a little sweetness, only pour a little.

I felt the vibe instantly, like as soon as I put one foot in the door. Magical, sophisticated, worldly, wonderful and more were the feelings that spontaneously hit me. The dark and elegant decor, lighting, design, & layout made me feel as though I were in a high-end Tokyo cocktail lounge. The front room as I mentioned is an intimate bar and lounge area with artwork adorning the walls. It's a modern, minimalist, and sleek space. The artwork is ever-changing (every couple of months or so) and the cocktail menu changes right long with it. Note: artwork is available for purchase. What an absolutely glorious way of combining different mediums (liquid art vs physical art). The craft cocktails & mocktails are the epitome of works of art. I've had great cocktails and mocktails elsewhere but honestly I'd be hard pressed to find anything on this level. You're taken into an entirely different realm just watching the genius of mixologists. It's mesmerizing watching them hone their craft. In the back of the lounge is an enclave of eclectic art and other pieces that then leads you to Konbini, the sushi bar. It's an industrial, warehouse vibe with a long counter that screams hip, Tokyo inspired, late-night eatery. Service is impeccable and welcoming at this cosmopolitan venue. It's truly an amazing experience.

And that the menu is curated to tie with the art/artist so you never know what will be on the menu. A regular arrived to the bar and mentioned the edition of the menu. 005. So this is the fifth menu since opening? How fun! Tried the Key Lime drink which was too damn delicious. Tasted like a damn dessert and went down too easy. Only food I tried was the Tofu Chip which was delicious as well. Also got the Milky drink and it went down just as smoothly. All in all great place, just popped in for my second time in the past three days. The vibe was chill and laid back. Dim lighting and good music.
