    Our server - Ian - was great. He made recommendations that we ended up going with for the most part. We didn’t regret a thing. The food was ridiculously good. From the nagiri, to crudo, to some hot dishes, everything was a hit. We even enjoyed some tea during dinner that was amazing. I would recommend some options from the rotating nightly menu that depends on what fresh fish they are offering for nagiri or sashimi. We chose a swordfish and tuna that were both fantastic. This was one of my favorite dining experiences in all of Austin. I have nothing but good things to say about Lucky Robot, and I will definitely be back. Hoping to check out their happy hour soon that seemed to have some pretty great deals.
