What Happened
Chef Anthony Martin has announced the opening of his limited-time restaurant named Residence, located in the former Sushi Bar ATX space in East Austin.

The restaurant is expected to attract food enthusiasts and residents of Austin, particularly those interested in high-end French cuisine. The selective nature of the dining experience caters to individuals looking for a unique culinary adventure. Chef Martin, who previously worked under the renowned Joël Robuchon, has relocated from Nashville to Austin for this venture, thereby also impacting the local culinary scene by bringing his expertise and innovative cooking style to the area.

The establishment is positioned to capture a sense of comfort while delivering quality culinary experiences.
Impact
Residence aims to influence the restaurant landscape in Austin by offering a refined approach to dining that prioritizes intimacy and personalization. Unlike traditional chef’s table or counter service venues, this concept is designed to heighten the guest experience through close interactions with the chef. The menu will draw inspiration from global culinary masters while also focusing on local ingredients, such as **aged Muscovy ducks** from Belle Vie Farm in Central Texas, seafood, locally sourced beef, and experimental uses of local honey in desserts. The restaurant’s structure and menu are set to elevate expectations for fine dining within the region.
What’s Next
Reservations for Residence have opened through OpenTable, with seatings priced at $295 per person, not including optional wine pairings for an additional charge. The restaurant will operate Wednesdays through Saturdays, although a specific closing date for the limited run has yet to be announced. This strategic timetable indicates the chef’s intent to provide an exclusive and memorable experience during the restaurant’s limited operational period.
