Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef/Owner John Carver

From the OpenTable editors: It can take months to get into Chef John Carver’s wildly popular Italian restaurant, where there’s a custom woodfired grill at the heart of the industrial space. But it’s worth the wait for fresh pasta and epic steaks, like the cappelletti “bishop’s hats” stuffed with spinach and sauced with brown butter, alongside a 50-day dry-aged porterhouse “la Fiorentina.” Don’t miss the charred veggies, like roasted vine tomatoes with creamy burrata, and wash it all down with a house negroni.

    This is one of the most amazing restaurants in Austin. Their food is always delicious. Their staff is impeccable. Their service is great. It’s hard to get into though. I just think God that I can get in sometimes.

    Excellent service and food. We ordered the snapper crudo for our appetizer. The pollo al diavolo and spaghetti vongole were excellent. Dessert was cappuccino and cream filled donuts. YUM!!

    Mains were not up to standards. Got lobster Scampi and the special with agnolotti with lobster. Basically overcooked and over salted. Service was good. Apps were good. Red Ash moved down a bit in our restaurant rankings.

    Outstanding as always. Joel gave us top-notch service at the bar. He was clearly passionate about flavors and concocted divine mocktails for me. My partner and I split a chopped salad to start as well as the country bread. (If you don’t have a dietary restriction that keeps you from having the country bread, you really must get it.) The snapper was out of this world and the filet was wonderfully flavorful and tender. We managed to save room for dessert and loved the apple tart and tiramisu. Red Ash is among the best places Austin has to offer.

    My daughter and I went to Red Ash for a quiet birthday dinner. The food was amazing, but the service is unmatched! We were treated with respect and kindness from moment we walked in. Just incredible!

    This was truly an excellent 5 star experience from beginning to end. Services was fantastic and Jared was extremely attentive to us. Our waiter was very knowledgeable with the menu, as we ended up getting an off menu appetizer , traditional spaghetti with meatballs and bolognese dish. All items were excellent!

    The service and ambiance was great. Our appetizer of squash blossoms was terrific. The spaghetti Alla Vongole Portion size was so big, I lost my appetite after two bites. Why is that necessary?? Also the clams were breaded and that too was unnecessary and not faithful to the real dish as it is meant to be prepared. We will definitely go back to give the restaurant another try and hope that another entree choice is a better pick.
