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.

    Truly disappointed. No less than a dozen rescheduled reservations due to demand and then their fire, we finally were able to try Red Ash last night. The place is ambient and aesthetically pleasing. It's VERY loud and quite dim. The font on the menu is very small combined with the dim lights- made for a difficult experience after dark. The bar tender did not make an Old Fashioned correctly which started the downhill tone and spiral of the evening. The bone marrow was over cooked, and once removed from the bone it is served on, it's a pool of rendered down fat on a plate. It was so grossly off putting. The Agnolotti was SO over truffled- we could smell it coming up the stairs. We could not eat it. A little bit of truffle goes a long way, too much truly shows that either the chef is covering up something or trying too hard. The Mezze Rigatoni Alla Campagnola had good flavor but the pasta was undercooked. I prefer pasta al dente, but this was chewy and not even to the palatable al dente mark. The only and best thing we had was the bread served with the Bone Marrow, and that's a stretch at that. I am so bummed. The experience did not even remotely live up to the hype. Totally overpriced and overrated. Doubt we'll be back, nor recommend to clients/guests visiting our city.

    Had a fabulous experience the last several times we went- we have been there 3-4 times in the last two months alone. This time from the moment we walked in, it was an unpleasant experience. Rather than discussing it here we will be writing the mgmt/owners.

    We are repeat customers. Lovely place to come and eat. The small plates are imaginative and tasty. Our steak was cooked to perfection! The staff are professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend but need to book in advance.

    We recently celebrated two birthdays at Red Ash with a group of six, and from start to finish, the experience was truly unforgettable! From the moment we checked in, Anna ensured we were comfortably seated at a table that accommodated our young child and senior member with a cane. The thoughtful touches didn't stop there - we were delighted to find personalized birthday cards for both celebrants. Our pasta dishes were not only visually stunning, but the flavors and quality were outstanding. The desserts were equally impressive, with the olive oil cake being a standout - absolutely divine! As a repeat customer (this was my fifth visit), I can confidently say that Red Ash consistently delivers the highest quality cuisine and impeccable service in Austin. The attention to detail, genuine care for their guests, and exceptional food make Red Ash a true gem in the city's dining scene. If you're looking for a special night out or simply an exceptional meal, look no further than Red Ash. We can't wait to return! Rating: 5/5 stars

    AMAZING! Have been wanting to go here after several good recommendations. A spot opened up and I snagged it. It was even better than I expected. Incredible food and incredible service. We had Brandy and she was amazing. Made recommendations for our table and answered questions in detail and had amazing knowledge on wine. Answered all our questions and more.
