"This sleek Rosedale spot should be the poster child for omakases that break from tradition. Fish is the focal point here—with most pieces undergoing some level of curing, dry-aging, or probably yoga to bring out different textures and flavors—and the garnishes are accents instead of the maximalist limelight hoggers you might find somewhere like Sushi Bar. The small plates served between every few bites of nigiri are where things veer a little from the classic omakase format, adding global flavors without turning the meal into some forced fusion that relies on novelty. There are no upsells at the end and no extra bites—you won’t need them anyway. 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
