This elite, 22-part omakase menu is exactly as filling as it sounds ... but we wouldn’t skip a single course
The omakase boom in Austin has been fast, furious, and more than a little overwhelming. How many minimalist tasting counters with $150+ coursed meals of sushi, sashimi, and nigiri can one medium-sized city sustain? It’s honestly gotten to the point where my first reaction to “there’s a new omakase opening this week” inevitably becomes “... really?But I’m delighted to report that my eyerolly instincts were no match for the exceptional meal served at Craft Omakase , now open in Rosedale.
Boyer and Fry guided each party into the dining room one by one, which added to the already personalized feel of the overall experience. Craft hosts two omakase seatings per night, and each can accommodate 12 guests. Designwise, the room gives off an intimate yet lively “house party” energy; the long table features seating on three sides, so diners can easily make eye contact with all of their fellow guests.
But I don’t think that you’ll regret the experience. While it’s tempting to suggest that Craft do some trimming and streamlining of their menu, these courses are so expertly arranged that I can’t bear the thought of disrupting the dramaturgy of the meal.
