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.

    The staff wrote my boyfriend and I, a very sweet card for our anniversary. Our original reservation was for the bar and they moved us to a more intimate table for our celebration

    Not a single bad plate nor cocktail, bone in steak is to die for, octopus is a must try, and the squash pasta in brown butter is literally chef’s kiss.

    What a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!

    This was our first time back since the re-opening. Dare I say, it’s better than we remember! Our server Amanda was lovely and the food and drinks were 10/10. We can’t wait for our next reservation!

    Reserved a bar seat and got sat right by the kitchen where there was plenty of movement and real hot. Would understand if it said chefs counter but reservation said bar.

    Red Ash never disappoints, it’s always an all-time favorite in Austin. Hard to get in but book early and go! Food is A+ and the staff is top notch.
