A renowned chef on the Sushi Bar ATX team is sticking around at the restaurant's prior home for an exclusive, limited-time pop-up. Now that Sushi Bar has moved out of the space it shared with Bento Picnic, Residence will take over starting April 23.

Chef Anthony Martin has an impressive resume: He's worked under legendary chefs worldwide, he's been named Chef of the Year by "Chicago Tribune," and he has two Michelin stars under his belt for his outstanding cooking at his Chicago restaurant, Tru. Now he's with the Austin omakase restaurant's hospitality group as director of culinary strategy.

Hosted in an intimate East Austin craftsman home, the Austin pop-up will showcase Chef Anthony's cooking and legendary plating skills in a multi-course format. Each dish will be prepared and plated right in front of guests.

Aside from a few photos, a press release didn't offer any clue about the type of cuisine diners should expect. Martin is known for artistic, sometimes avant-garde plating. He nearly went to art school, but has instead applied his eye for style to a very ingredient-based approach.

Much of Martin's work in recent years has been done behind the scenes — at least compared to his very public-facing time in Chicago — so this could be an excuse for foodies to catch up with what he's been doing.

“I am excited to welcome guests into the space; the food is ingredient-driven and recognizable," said Martin in a press release. "I’ll be in the kitchen every night, cooking for guests like I would for friends at a dinner party in my own home. It’s elevated, but with the relaxed, come-as-you-are spirit that Austin does best."

Co-Founder of Sushi Bar Hospitality Ryan Stock had more context to add about the cozy space:

“Residence returns the original East Austin home to its roots: an intimate, elevated experience," he said. "Every detail, from the music and lighting to the timing of each course, is meant to evoke the kind of magic that happens when you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner — a Michelin-level meal with the heart and soul of a personal gathering.”

With only 10 seats available and two seatings per night, this experience is designed to feel less like restaurant-dining and more like a sweet dinner party — albeit, a very high-end one. The price-per-person is $295 for this VIP experience.

Reservations at Residence are available via Opentable. A quick glance at the calendar tells us there are several spots still open through May 16, with seatings in April largely already snatched up. Clearly this cozy-meets-luxe dinner party is going to be a hot commodity this spring. For Austinites who want a seat, we'd recommend booking soon.

Residence is located at 2600 E Cesar Chavez St.
