- KKelleyAustin •14 reviews5.0Dined 1 day 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
- DDianaVIPAustin •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI want to start this review by saying our server Ziray was phenomenal. It was my wife and I's first time here and she broke down the menu and explained everything with great knowledge and with so much enthusiasm. You can tell she likes what she does and she is great at it. Now onto the food. Excellent. That's all I can say. Our drinks were on point. The appetizer,the queso fundido was soooo good. Didn't want to stop eating it but needed room for our steak fajitas for two. Came out a perfect medium. The tortillas were fresh and pretty perfect. For our dessert, we got the margarita lime pie. It's one of the lightest pies I have ever eaten. So overall a great experience. The manager checked in and made sure all was well. The servers seemed to work as a team. I will be back very soon. More things to try. Thanks again for a great experience.More infoVERDAD True Modern MexicanPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Austin•4.8

- PPaulaVIPAustin •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe enjoy going to Chez Zee, a cozy Austin original, for Sunday brunch. The breakfast is always a cut above the rest. All the waiters are so very friendly and accommodating. We also enjoy the live piano music in the background. All of it makes for a very pleasant Sunday morning.More infoChez ZeePrice: Moderate• American• Northwest•4.7
