- CChrisVIPHawaii •37 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe made a reservation at the bar but when we arrived the seats available were next to the front door. Given that it was 31 degrees out those seats would have been uncomfortable with the door constantly being opened and closed. We asked if we could move and she kindly moved us upstairs. Something very much appreciated. The waiter was personable and provided great service. The food was excellent and not overpriced. All in all a nice night out.More infoRed Ash ItaliaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.9

- DDeborahSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 16, 2025What a gem in the Hill Country. I highly recommend you give this restaurant a try. Its tucked out of the hustle and bustle of Dripping Springs, in the country on a quaint road where the drive is half the fun of the adventure. Menu is limited but the food was good, we were there for a Birthday and they were so Kind as to have a Birthday love note, and other goodies to celebrate the occasion. This is really a must see restaurant, libations were excellent too.More infoTillie's- Dripping SpringsPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Dripping Springs•4.6
