The Toughest Reservations In Austin Right Now (And How To Get Them) 2024 - Austin - The Infatuation
"This sleek Rosedale spot should be the poster child for omakases that break a little from tradition. The nigiri leans classic, featuring excellent fish—most of which undergoes some level of curing or aging to bring out different textures and flavors. But in between bites of sushi, you’ll taste shrimp aguachile, roasted gai lan with brown butter, or some other small plate that shows Craft's unconventionality. There are no upsells at the end, and no extra bites—you won’t need them anyway. The experience feels less like a meal and more like a delicious 22-point justification for why someone might shell out $175 for sushi. 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." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
