Ēma’s first Texas location is officially opening its doors to the North Austin community on Jan. 31.

The details: The Mediterranean and California-inspired restaurant will open its third location at shopping center Domain Northside. Created by Lettuce Entertain You, the new restaurant is a sister-concept to Aba located on South Congress Avenue.

Customers can enjoy lunch and dinner service featuring a “vegetable-focused, mezze-style menu,” as stated in a news release. The menu offers a lighter style of California cooking and prioritizes vegetables and seafood. Community members can look forward to ordering signature dishes such as Sweet Corn Hummus, Broccoli & Kale Hummus, Crispy Wild Mushrooms and Grilled Oishii Shrimp Kebab.

To pair with meals, the restaurant offers a bar program with cocktails like the Tequila Yuzu Espresso Martini and zero proof options.

Williamson County voters participating in the March 3 primary election will use precinct-specific voting locations on election day, even though countywide polling locations will remain available through early voting.

Explained: Although the Williamson County Elections Department manages early voting, the Republican and Democratic parties are responsible for election day procedures, County Elections Administrator Bridgette Escobedo said.

For the first time since 2013, the Williamson County Republican Party opted for precinct-specific polling locations, which in turn requires the local Democratic Party to follow suit.

Digging deeper: Republicans plan to operate 79 polling locations, combining some of the 177 voting precincts. The Democratic Party plans to operate 46 polling locations. These numbers have not been finalized and are subject to change, according to officials from the Republican Party.

Voters can check county voter precinct maps to identify their updated precinct, which went into effect Jan. 1.

Specific polling locations, for both early voting and election day, have not been released yet. Early voting locations should become available next week, Escobedo said.
