I’m a native Austinite, and I love bringing family and friends here who are visiting Austin. It never disappoints. It also makes a great date night spot or a perfect place for GNO dinner.

- OTOpenTable DinervipAustin •4 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023Food is so good. We sat at a four top in the bar area? Which was a little strange since I made reservations over two months ago. Whatever- food and service were top notch. I had the 30 day aged filet and gnocchi. Best steak in the city. Meatballs were just ok - bread was amazing and the table lived the bone marrow.More infoRed Ash Italia$$$$• Italian• Downtown•4.9
