- KKelleyAustin •14 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI loved the lobster tails, scampi style & thought the pasta was a wonderful accompaniment. Also the chopped salad was crisp & had the perfect amount of salad dressing. The only downer was the red fish crudo. The main flavor was an overwhelming lime taste. It would've been much better in a "tears of the tiger" sauce or with some wasabi to make it more sushi-like. Serving it with crackers would help also and the avocados were unsalted. I've tried almost the whole Red Ash menu - the crudo is my least favorite dish. Try any of the other appetizers instead!More infoRed Ash ItaliaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.9

- KkatieCoastal Georgia •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe really enjoyed our meal here. We split 4 starters and it was the perfect amount of food for two, almost too much really. The drinks were all tasty, and our server was excellent. The timing was appropriate, and despite the advertisement regarding the time limit your table has (and text messages) we never felt rushed by staff.More infoThe Guest House AustinPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.6
- LLaneVIPAustin •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoClean relaxing atmosphere. Healthy menu, great options, full bar, and tasty beverages. Had the cashew beet queso with drinks as a starter. Outstanding. Then to the filet chef special, brussel sprouts, and fingerling potatoes. Outstanding.More infoThe WellPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
- DDavePortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoVery friendly staff right through the door. Onion soup was ok, but the Texas Wagyu New York strip was phenomenal. Spendy, but is was cooked perfectly, had a great crust, and was a melt-in-your-mouth flavor explosion. The Japanese A5 Wagyu has too much fat in my opinion, but this Angus/Wagyu hybrid was perfect. Neat menu, but I didn’t have enough stomachs to try everything that I wanted.More infoDean's Italian SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.8
