In April, Oasthouse Kitchen + Bar hosted Austin Food Bloggers for one of our monthly happy hours. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tasted and was impressed by the beautiful plates. The food paired with the perfect patio weather made the evening with my likeminded friends a great one.

We started the evening with the fried calamari. Tossed in pad thai sauce and punctuated with lime and cilantro, they were a nice play on the traditional fried calamari starter. The Hamachi Crudo was elegant and pleasing to both the eye and the palate. The Caribbean Jerk Pork Tenderloin was tender and drew out murmurs of pleasure from my eating companions. The Spring Pasta felt both decadent and light, made so by lifting up comforting pasta with seasonal vegetables. In short, Owner/Chef Amir Hajimalek has a sophisticated command on flavors that was consistently showcased in his expansive menu. I couldn’t tell you my favorite savory dish from this evening but I will say that Chocolate Nutella Mousse was my favorite dessert!
