The light, focaccia-like dough develops a golden crunch on the bottom, and the sauce is ladled on just before serving, ensuring the cheese and dough provide crispy perfection. And at Via, it is always built right to the last bite.

    Amazing from beginning to end! Everyone was impressed with how delicious everything was, even the non-vegans. Great service and drinks too, and splitting the check was a breeze even with a group. Perfect 10/10 birthday dinner. Thank you Nori!!

    We had such a great night here. The atmosphere is what brought us in but the food is the reason we’ll definitely be going back the next time we’re in Austin. The ceviche was delicious and so fresh/light. The fried chicken was incredibly flavorful and the biscuits with beet butter and honey were so delightful. We had great service and our waiter was very attentive. 5/5 highly recommend!

    As usual everything was outstanding, which is why we return so often. Great neighborhood place that you can usually get in without a reservation which in these times is most welcomed! Well done, again!

    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!

    Via313 is a classic for us. The food was amazing (as we expected). Fin (Finoula) was a super amazing hostess. She made sure to come check on us every few minutes. She asked us what substitutions we needed and dietary restrictions. Then, she taught us Gaelic history which was a nice bonus. We will be coming back and asking for Fin!
