Red Ash

Top notch!!! Everything was beyond amazing!!! One of the best anniversary meal celebrations we have had. Thanks for the amazing table over looking the wood fired grill. The server provided wonderful suggestions and impeccable well paced service. The food presentation was beautiful and tasted amazingly delicious.

Have been probably 6-7 times. Normally reliable. Disappointed this time. Red Snapper over cooked and ravioli lukewarm. Nice selection of Italian wines.

The food and service was phenomenal. We had the octopus and Burrata to start and then had the tomahawk porterhouse and clam pasta....would eat this meal a million times over.

We enjoyed everything we ate. I had the angolotti and the sweet potatoes. Both were spectacular. The service was fantastic and super accommodating with allergies (gluten and nuts). Reasonable pricing for all of the meals

Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely experience. They worked together as a team, were engaging without being overbearing and they knew the menu. Plate had large portions and were cooked to perfection

Every time we go it just keeps getting better and better. Outstanding restaurant in all aspects

Literally my favorite date night every time we book. The lamb special was spectacular and I live for the bread. We tried the snapper crudo this time and were not disappointed. If you haven't been here yet I highly recommend.

Excellent service. Food is always amazing.

This place is not your typical "Italian" restaurant. It is more of a steakhouse. Which is pretty cool. The wait time was short, maybe like 10 minutes to be seated. The menu was robust. The wine and liquor menus were also extensive. I was there with my parents and shared a birthday dinner with my younger brother. The waiter was on point! He made excellent recommendations and was knowledgeable about the food, wine, and liquor at the restaurant. He was fast, very friendly, and made sure we were taken care of. We got to sit in the upstairs area, which gave us a bird's eye view of the kitchen doing its thing. Now, the food... Woo! The food. We had a Caesar salad to start, and it was very fresh. Next, we had bread with an olive oil and balsamic vinegarette (I think), with cheese, and fire roasted tomatoes (I'm not a big fan of roasted tomatoes) which were done perfectly and changed my mind about roasted tomatoes. We then had a 40 oz 50 day aged Fiorentina steak. The sear and crust on the steak was executed perfectly. It wasn't crunchy, burnt, or tough to chew through. Once through the perfect sear, it was a buttery smooth texture on the inside and was cooked perfectly. Medium rare. My mother, who usually prefers to eat chicken, was very impressed by the steak as well. We then had some potatoes. They were golden, crusted, and flavored just right to compliment the steak, not overpower it. My younger brother quipped that they were really fancy French fries. I told him to shut his filthy mouth. But he did like them. Overall, it was an extremely pleasant experience with a downtown Italian Texas steakhouse vibe. Oh, my old fashion on the rocks was indulgent.

Parking: Park in the parking garage attached to the restaurant. It makes things easier. Also, the upscale apartments that the restaurant is under closes the parking garage at 8pm. So you'll have to go through the apartment's lobby to get back to the parking garage.

A friend took me to Red Ash last night and it lived up to the hype! From the lovely hostesses to the manager Peter, all greeted us with huge smiles on their faces and we were sat in my friend's favorite booth! When we mentioned it was both our birthdays, the hosteses presented us with birthday cards signed by the staff which I thought was a lovely touch!
For our appetizers, we ordered the Buratta with the roasted vine tomatoes was excellent as was the Octopus. We shared the Asian pear and endive salad and it was so fresh and such a wonderful palate cleanser to get us ready for the main entree. For our main, we had the Frutti Di Mare with the black and white spaghetti noodles and Halibut with the sweet corn risotto which were also both amazing with a touch of tha smokey flavor from the grill!
Any meal is only as good as the service in my book and our waiter, Dejan WAS AMAZING! He was attentive, funny, made excellent suggestions from the menu and had me eating out of his hands the whole night! My friend and I were celebrating our birthdays and Dejan suggested the donuts as a desert and can I just say WOW! It was such an amazing twist on donuts that it was the perfect sweet to finish off this already amazing meal! The night was magical thanks to the amazing chefs staff at this wonderful establishment! Thank you again!!!

This place is loud and obnoxious. We could not hear across the table on a Tuesday at 6pm. Service was not great, very slow and inattentive.

The drinks were wonderful!

IT IS NOT ROMANTIC; I don’t recommend this place to get to know someone or to try to impress someone. It is for people who want desperately to be seen; not for people who enjoy food and the people they are trying to enjoy food with.
