    Wow! This was my husband’s and my first time at Red Ash and it was perfect. We sat upstairs with a fun view of the kitchen. Our waiter, Miles, was a STAR. He offered exceptional service throughout dinner and made us feel so well-taken care of. We got 4 different dishes and didn’t finish a single plate and he promptly packed everything for us in to-go containers throughout the night. We will be looking for Red Ash’s next availability ASAP. This is our new top fave spot in Austin!
