Olamaie

I was not expecting to experience a Michelin star service and food for the price point. Excellent menu, beef tartar was to die for, don't leave without getting the biscuit's. In the Austin food scene Olamaie is in its own category.

Great fine dining/date night experience!

This is a really special place. Everything is amazing

Came for NYE for a party of 4. Since there were four first course options, we ordered one each and ate family style. Forget the names of the dishes but here it goes, a beef tartar, a sashimi fish, hush pupoies and braised cabbage. Really liked the dishes and the beef tartar was yummy with the beet crisps. They blend a sauce with it that's yummers. The braised cabbage was really yummy and perhaps my favorite of the four. The mains, we had pork, dayoak (?) fish w crab sauce, duck terrine, and gumbo. Pork dish had thick slices and was so tender but sadly not throughout. Some slices were a tad on the dry side. Fish dish was ok but that crab sauce.....oh my. I can eat this all day. Duck terrine was perhaps the crowd favorite in my party. Chicken sandwiched in duck breast cooked to perfection. It's like magic. The gumbo was ok. Oh, how can I forget to talk about their biscuits. Wow. Tender soft like bread in the center and flaky'ish that makes a biscuit a biscuit. That honey butter was perfect even if it wasn't sweet. Best biscuits I have ever had to date. Great job. If there was any feedback for the restaurant I could give would be that attention to comfort could be better. For instance, we shared our food family style which made the table quite crowded. At times, we had an empty plate and the servers just let it sit there so when mains came, I placed an empty plate after we had split the portions to the side of the table and it was never picked up even as the server came to severe other things. It made me think whether this was intentional? I asked the server to have it removed. It wasn't an issue and I'm only writing to offer feedback. The table next to us spilled their water and I was surprised to see that none of the servers had tended to it. Perhaps no one saw it? The four guests at that table all worked to get their table dried for what appeared to be a good 5-10 minutes. My back was to the staff so I can't tell if anyone was able to witness what happened to react accordingly.

Nice place nice staff, foods for us was so salty, first bite was delicious but the salt was too much and water could not help, we have not had time to stay more and have desert but we could not wait arrive home to have something sweet to help us wash that salt

Excellent service from Matty and Hannah at the bar!

The food and service are amazing. However, charging every customer a 20% fee so you can "provide healthcare" to your staff is a burden that is unfair to bestow on your customers who are already paying a premium for the food and drinks. We were charged $40 on top of food, tip and tax....it's ridiculous! As much as we love the food, we will NOT be returning.
