"In a sea of nebulous new American concepts, this stunner from the Austin-based Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group is laser-focused on a singular point of view. Chef Berty Richter zeroes in on Judeo-Spanish foodways, making the case that what is ancient can be strikingly contemporary. While most of this Bib Gourmand’s menu is a la carte, the $60 chef-curated mezas de alegria highlights some of the tastiest plates. The pocket patio is ideal for enjoying a botanical cocktail or skin-contact wine." - Brandon Watson
