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 hosts where lovely and offered us the kitchen seating over the bar - such a cool experience! I Our server was attentive and the drinks came out quickly for all being craft cocktails! This was my partners first time here and after being sat for maybe ~ 10 minutes ~ we booked another reservation for next month! We got bone marrow, caesar salad, rigattoni, yukon potato's and the porterhouse! Our server did talk us out of the tomahawk which was smart, considering we have Turkey leftovers to eat but we WILL be trying it next month! Thank yall 🤍 Also a free desert and a card signed by all the staff for my partners birthday was such a cute touch! We'll see yall soon!

    I don't live in Austin and have been wanting to visit Red Ash again since before Covid. Each time I went I did not manage to set my alarm to make the reservation exactly 60 days in advance so I was out of luck. This time I made it! Red Ash did not disappoint. The venue, magnificent. Beautiful, warm, interesting and views of the kitchen make it feel like home. My date and I started with the bone marrow with magnificent toast and added the roasted tomatoes and burrata as well. This was after our first round of cocktails, which were delicious and strong. We followed that up with the Asian pear salad, again just incredible. After all that we shared and entree, the Blue Crab pasta which again was perfect. Finally a Tiramasu that was light and fluffy. Two glasses of Baileys to compliment the dessert. Our server was great. He showed up and disappeared at the right intervals and kept perfect pace with how we were eating. It was a long slow meal because we talked a lot. Yet somehow, there were not any time gaps when we did not have food on the table or were waiting for food or drinks. Kind of a time warp type thing. Thank you Red Ash. I will come every time I come to Austin with advance notice.

    The food was fantastic! We kept it to a variety of small plates and two pasta dishes--perfect for a family-style meal with flavorful interpretations of classics, a couple rarely seen dishes (bishop's hats are my new favorite pasta), and complimentary sides to cut through the rich flavors on the mains. Despite being stuffed, we made room for some of the creative desserts. There's an extensive wine list, but I stuck with the cocktails--loved that there were two options for each type of liquor. We also lucked out in getting a corner table in the loft, which gave us a great view of the kitchen but was partitioned enough to feel cozy. If you're looking for an upgrade to your typical Italian restaurant, either for a romantic evening or a large family gathering, Red Ash is a winner!

    Service with Brandy was excellent! Our food this time was a bit over cooked/charred and pasta was lacking sauce and dry.
