It's been closed too long. Great atmosphere, wonderful food and wine/drinks, and surprisingly friendly waiters for a classy place.

Really good food! I just hope it reopens eventually since it's been awhile! Highly recommend the bone marrow if it still is on the menu upon reopening!!

My boyfriend booked a reservation successfully for my birthday through the website. When we got there, it was closed and there was a sign saying duct repairs were needed. Why didn’t we get any communication? Totally ruined my birthday night and idk why the website would accept a reservation if Red Ash is still closed

Exceptional in every aspect, this establishment truly sets the bar high for dining experience. From the exquisite cuisine to the impeccable service and the captivating ambiance, everything is simply flawless. I am still amazed at how knowledgeable our server was, he's an absolute stud.

I've been there twice (before it closed due to fire). The food is excellent, and in another environment I would frequent it, especially if it were more accessible-- without reserving a table months in advance. Some of the tables are crammed together making it seem a bit claustrophobic and overcrowded. The noise level is very high, making conversation difficult. And the stench of smoke is pervasive, even out on the street. The service is excellent. The best thing about it is that it is just around the corner from the best cocktail bar in Austin.

Easily the best Italian food in Austin, and in the running for best in the country.Chef owner… Italian food that looks, and tastes, like it’s in a magazine.Highly recommend the seafood pasta, it’s off the charts. That said, we’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing was less than superb.

The food here was phenomenal. Came with a large group of coworkers and we all enjoyed our meals and shared appetizers. The wine selection and cocktails were also top notch. The Tagliolini with blue crab was out of this world. It is quite loud and crowded in the dining area, but the atmosphere and decor are fun.

This place is amazing but so hard to get reservations. Book early! Everything I had from appetizer, shared meals and dessert was awesome.

Bought a $1000 gift card over 2 years ago for my wife and shes been unable to use it because they're always "full." Now they're closed for repairs because of a fire....classic

I kept hearing about Red Ash and decided to make a reservation and wait the 3 months because of the amazing things people were saying about . Let me say that it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The ambience was classy and romantic and the wood fire grill was fun to watch as the chefs cooked multiple beautiful dishes in it. The drinks and appetizers are a preview of how amazing your meal will be. We got the garlic bread and meatballs, which melted in your mouth. My husband said the filet mignon steaks were "the best he's ever had" and has since compared others to Red Ash and how they don't live up to them. We will definitely be returning. Wait the 3 months... it's SO worth it!
Excellent food and service. Always enjoy it. Always crowded so make a reservation. Beautiful environment.

1 year since I’ve last eaten here and still dream of this meal. Cocktails, food, bread, desserts, YOU CAN’T GO WRONG! My wife and I have traveled all over the U.S, Europe, and South America, and still this is top 1-3 of places to eat on our list. Definitely the best restaurant in the U.S.A. Service is outstanding, and the Chef’s table is an experience like no other. When my wife and I go to other restaurants and experience their chefs table, we are always disappointed because we compare everything to Red Ash. Red ash, please finish remodeling. My wife and I miss you and will keep calling every month until you re open. Thank you for one of the best meals/experiences we have ever had.

I sincerely don’t understand the hype. For context. I do well and blow my money on food. I eat out at high end restaurants 4-5 nights a week. And LOVE Italian food. I heard of this place and first meal, sucked. Pasta noodles were even still served hard. I said “meh. Everyone has an off day.” I went back, sucked again. EVEN after two failed attempts I figured maybe I’m just missing something, nope round 3 also sucked. I want so badly to prop up a local business but for the prices this place charged with the quality being so far from that mark I had to post. Try for yourself.

Always amazing. MUST - the tomato's and burrata. This is my favorite thing on the menu hands down. Absolutely incredible. Meatballs as well! So juicy and truthfully the best I've ever had. Everything at red ash is good. You will not go wrong with anything in there menu. Pasta wise - gnocchi is the 1st I'd recommend then rigatoni alla campagnola Espresso martinis are delicious also! Looking forward for them to be back in business!
