The Toughest Reservations In Austin Right Now (And How To Get Them) 2024 - Austin - The Infatuation
"Verdict: This is one of the single most expensive meals in Austin. Is it worth it? That really depends on how much you’re willing to spend and what you’re looking for. It’s a place to dress up a little and feel like a rock star as you watch your meal get prepared in a room that’s basically a tunnel of lights to a soundtrack of Bowie, Sun Ra, and Fugazi, with a chef that looks like he could have just hopped off any of their stages. And it’s some of the best sushi in Austin. It just comes with a price tag of about $250-$300 per person (before drinks), unless you book the weekly abridged (and slightly cheaper) dinner for $150. Reservations are released at 9am on the first of the month, on a rolling three-month basis, meaning you’ll always be able to plan about 90 days out. If you want to secure prime time seatings on popular nights, you’ll want to be near a computer when tickets get released. They go fast, but not split-second fast. And if you’re a little more flexible with your timing, there are usually spots about four to six weeks out." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
