Otoko offers an exceptional dining experience, characterized by a journey through diverse flavors and textures. The omakase menu features standout dishes like fried escargot and bluefin sashimi, with the chef's explanations enhancing the overall experience. The small seating capacity creates an intimate atmosphere, making diners feel as if they are enjoying a private meal. The balance of nigiri and kaiseki dishes is exceptional.
The attached cocktail bar, Watertrade, provides a great selection of drinks, including well-crafted cocktails and sake pairings. Guests have praised the bartenders for their knowledgeable explanations of the drink menu. While some diners noted that certain dishes may have been a bit salty, the majority found the food to be exceptional, particularly the tempura for its light batter and perfect cooking.
Otoko delivers a welcoming experience that feels both exclusive and relaxed. The atmosphere strikes a balance between intimate and vibrant, making it ideal for special celebrations. The team goes above and beyond with their attention to detail, making guests feel special and cared for. Otoko stands out as an excellent choice for a memorable evening in Austin, combining romance, celebration, and culinary artistry.
