    Excellent Valentine's fixe prixe menu for late lunch. Steaks always top-notch. Innovative fusion calamari w/thai salad. Carissa provided outstanding service, attending to every need. Hostess took an inordinate amount of time to seat us when she could clearly see my spouse was mobility-challenged and uncomfortable with no seating to wait. Then hostess proceeded to seat us at the table farthest from the door, again clearly seeing my spouse could not walk far and used a cane. Table was also immediately next to kitchen, so not a very attractive place to seat older folks with mobility and hearing disabilities. Carissa made up for the hostess's poor judgment and was on top of our every need/desire.

    We had not been back to Red Ash since before the Pandemic. Shame on us! Now we certainly will make a new reservation as soon as possible, which will probably be a few months from now. Red Ash is so popular that it is that difficult to get a table. But the wait is certainly worth it. This evening we tried the Octopus a la Plancha at our server, Emma's suggestion. Octopus for our first time. It was wonderfully delicious and tender. For dinner we split Frutti di Mare, a wonderful selection of seafood laid on a bed of the best black and white sphagettini. Cooked perfectly! Emma was the perfect hostess and we were able to reconnect with Brand Favata, our favorite server from six years ago. It seems that very few few employees leave Red Ash. It is such a wonderful restaurant!! We'll be back very soon.

    What a delicious gem hidden in a South Austin strip mall! Food was absolutely delicious! Prices were more than fair, especially for drinks, happy hour pricing, although we weren’t there for happy hour, was noted as EVEN better! We had a bit of trouble with English language barrier with our server, but got everything we wanted and done correctly, and there were a few pestering flies throughout the meal but overall a truly well done restaurant that is completely deserving of your patronage. We will be back!
