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.

    Literally my favorite date night every time we book. The lamb special was spectacular and I live for the bread. We tried the snapper crudo this time and were not disappointed. If you haven’t been here yet I highly recommend.

    Absolutely fantastic on everthing. Food, ambience, service, just fantastic! The entry area or waiting area is about the only thing that could be improved but you need a reservation in advance to dine here so the wait is not long. The prices are fantastic and candidly they could charge more. This is a must stop restaurant in Austin.

    For the price, the food was ok, not great. Could do better and happy to give as much technical detail and leadership would like from one epicurean to another. Feel free to reach out to me anytime.

    10/10 3rd time and still doesn’t disappoint. From entering until exiting every bit of Red Ash is sublime. The food is incredible, our serve is amazing, cocktails are insanely delicious.
