Austin’s Best New Restaurants Of 2024 - Austin - The Infatuation
"In a year when expensive omakases spread faster than Olympic breakdancing memes, we didn’t roll our eyes at Craft Omakase's blend of nigiri and small plates. When we were told that the meal would consist of 22 bites, with no sneaky add-ons or upsells. That, and the savory interlude of roasted gai lan in brown butter between bites of dry-brined fish. The menu is set each night, so all you have to decide is whether or not you want to drink, and how much wine or sake you’ll be ordering if you do. You can also split a sake pairing between two. A fairly classic omakase with a touch of fusion flair, like aguachiles and gazpachos. Craft typically releases new reservations every Sunday at 12pm. You can book seats approximately one month in advance. They go fast, but not blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fast. If you want to secure a prime-time spot, plan to be online when reservations go live." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
