- EElizabethAustin •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWent here for my birthday celebration and it was absolutely amazing! One of the prettiest restaurants i’ve ever been to and the surprised us with a birthday dessert! Great service and the food was amazing! It was loud when we went because they had a dj so beware if that’s not your thing.More infoYamas AustinPrice: Expensive• Greek• Austin•4.6
- JJeanneHouston •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a wonderful early Valentines date at Verdad. We had hoped for a quiet, intimate table, but this is not the set up for this restaurant. But…..DO NOT STOP READING THIS REVIEW!!! We were seated at a window table in the bar area, and were blown away by the experience. Our server was very pleasant, knew the menu well and presented each item with such flare and creativity! The food and drinks were beyond amazing. It was a pleasantly memorable experience that I highly recommend.More infoVERDAD True Modern MexicanPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Austin•4.8

- OTOpenTable DinerWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe 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.More infoRed Ash ItaliaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.9
