Lavomatic

To sum Lavomatic up in one word, I would say, pleasing. I stopped in for a quick happy hour and was, of course, pleased that they offer $2 off beers (and ciders) on tap. I was also pleased by the chic décor, extensive beverage offerings, and proximity to downtown. Most pleasing of all was the friendliness of the waitstaff. I do have to say however, that our server did not seem very experienced at the bar. She was not able to provide a comprehensive description of the beers on draft and she seemed to be just learning how to pour from a tap. It wasn't a big deal though and I would still recommend this bar as a comfortable downtown hang-out!

Group of 7 went for a business lunch on a Friday. There were only four tables but the server was in charge of the ENTIRE restaurant and bar, even though there were other staff on the floor.  On the plus side, the food was excellent!!  They also comp'd our drinks for the lack of service, which is something most restaurants wouldn't do.  If you aren't in a hurry, this is an great restuarant in OTR!

Brunch at the Lavomatic Cafe is quite delicious and I dare you to not find at least a handful of items that sound appealing!

After salivating over all of the options, I finally narrowed it down to the 2 Egg breakfast with bacon jam. Yes, you read that right-- Bacon jam. It is truly amazing and one of the few items that make me questions my newfound decision to become a vegetarian. This bacon jam is out of this world amazing-- The perfect combination of sweet and salty. They really should serve it with everything, it's that good.

My boyfriend got a goetta egg in a basket that was pretty great as well. The service was friendly, the coffee was good, the prices were standard action for a trendy OTR place.

I highly recommend waking up early this weekend and trying out their brunch menu, your taste buds will thank you.
