Martinez kept Nai’s core idea — offering a prix-fixe dining experience focused on elevated dishes with historic Mexican influences — but added a new twist. Guests at Nai are all seated at the same table, and Martinez is able to accommodate most allergies with proper notice. Those interested in booking can reserve a seat on the Nai website, naisatx.com, which also has the most up-to-date menus.
