Restaurateurs Endo Yasuhiro, Taika Wakayama and Darrell Oribello started the 10-seat Japanese sushi bar, featuring 20-course omakase tastings using an array of techniques from dry aging to salt curing, smoking and soy sauce marination. A selection of wine, sake and whisky pairings are also available.
Joseph Zoccoli and Richard Thomas teamed up to open the American-Italian eatery. The menu provides selections ranging from a raw bar to handmade pastas, or seafood- and vegetable-heavy small plates. Cocktails offer a twist on traditional options, such as the Manhattan and Garibaldi.
Founded as an Austin food truck in 2013 by Heidi Garbo and her sisters Hannah and Samantha Garbo, the restaurant expanded to serve New England-inspired oysters, lobster rolls and cocktails in Dripping Springs.
The Austin-based Asian-Southwestern fusion restaurant expanded into Cedar Park with options not found at other locations, such as the wok-fried garlic eggplant served with a black bean sauce and a Nashville hot chicken sandwich using bao buns.
Cottage bakery owner LaQuita Wilder puts a twist on her grandmother's pound cake recipes to produce whole and mini cakes, cake pops, and cake jars, with new assortments created each week, including flavors such as lemon, red velvet, Snickers, banana pudding, and cookies and cream.
The drive-thru healthy food franchise specializes in breakfast burritos and nine types of salads, including classics such as Cobb, Greek and Caesar, and specialties such as the Roasted Autumn and BBQ Ranch—all of which can be made into wraps.
