    We had a great experience! The staff was a pleasure! They really explain the dishes, which are somewhat exotic, but not overly so. Food was delicious!

    I loved the lobster tails, scampi style & thought the pasta was a wonderful accompaniment. Also the chopped salad was crisp & had the perfect amount of salad dressing. The only downer was the red fish crudo. The main flavor was an overwhelming lime taste. It would've been much better in a "tears of the tiger" sauce or with some wasabi to make it more sushi-like. Serving it with crackers would help also and the avocados were unsalted. I've tried almost the whole Red Ash menu - the crudo is my least favorite dish. Try any of the other appetizers instead!

    One of the best experience in a restaurant in Austin. I’m happy that they got a Michelin star.. is well deserved. Staff is really attentive (very hard to find that kind of service in Austin), chef’s menu with pairing is incredible well balanced and it really takes you on a journey of taste. Well done!!

    Loved this restaurant. My only negative was the noise inside. We were a 3 generation party of four who wanted to enjoy limited time together. The table configurations and energy level inside would’ve that hard We ate on the patio which was just great and we had a wonderful time.
