No restaurant yet clears the requested anniversary evidence standard

Directed searches covered all 20 named Austin restaurants and produced 221 extracted evidence rows across the cohort. Nineteen remain research-more because the required entity-bound occasion, spatial, current-concept, visual, and counterevidence bundles were not fully established; Otoko is currently ineligible because its official page says closed and a March 2026 report documents its chef’s departure.

Findings

Otoko fails current-concept verification. Its official page says closed, while Austin Monthly reported chef Yoshi Okai’s departure in March 2026.

Uchi evidence showed both ceremony potential and friction. The Austin page describes intimate private dinners, while a first-person report described delayed seating; this is not enough to conclude anniversary fit.

Conversation risk needs more direct work. Available evidence flags loudness or pacing concerns at Canje and Emmer & Rye, but the requested three spatial observations per restaurant were not established.

Wrong-entity contamination was material. Shared domains and multi-location brands surfaced Uchi DC, Uchiko Miami/Plano, Loro Dallas/Domain, and Home Slice Houston; those claims were not admitted for the Austin target entities.

#	Restaurant	Role	Rows	URLs	Decision

Method: three directed web-search passes (official/service model, first-person/spatial/service, and counterevidence/concept change), consolidated on 25 Aug 2026. Counts measure extracted candidate rows and distinct URLs, not verified independent claims. No availability, booking success, price-based inference, or guaranteed experience is asserted.
