Restaurants near Highland Lake

This place has never disappointed us. It’s one of our go-to dining establishments for a celebration moment. The food is always incredible, menu is never boring, and the portions always have us leaving with a little something for later…

Ronnie was amazing! This was our gateway to Lakeway and first time being here from Houston. She was above and beyond, very attentive and friendly service. Thank you Ronnie, and please recognize her for her amazing personality.

While the Valentines experience was pretty expensive, it was some of the best food I have ever had. Each dish had some of the best prepared food I have had in a very long time. The waitstaff was prompt, efficient, and extremely professional. The ambience of the area and the building were perfect for the scenario. The choice in music was a bit strange given the type of food being served, but that is such a minor complaint. Overall, it was a fantastic experience for Valentines day and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a fantastic meal and a fantastic date spot for these special occasions.

Excellent Valentine's fixe prixe menu for late lunch. Steaks always top-notch. Innovative fusion calamari w/thai salad. Carissa provided outstanding service, attending to every need. Hostess took an inordinate amount of time to seat us when she could clearly see my spouse was mobility-challenged and uncomfortable with no seating to wait. Then hostess proceeded to seat us at the table farthest from the door, again clearly seeing my spouse could not walk far and used a cane. Table was also immediately next to kitchen, so not a very attractive place to seat older folks with mobility and hearing disabilities. Carissa made up for the hostess's poor judgment and was on top of our every need/desire.

We had not been back to Red Ash since before the Pandemic. Shame on us! Now we certainly will make a new reservation as soon as possible, which will probably be a few months from now. Red Ash is so popular that it is that difficult to get a table. But the wait is certainly worth it. This evening we tried the Octopus a la Plancha at our server, Emma's suggestion. Octopus for our first time. It was wonderfully delicious and tender. For dinner we split Frutti di Mare, a wonderful selection of seafood laid on a bed of the best black and white sphagettini. Cooked perfectly! Emma was the perfect hostess and we were able to reconnect with Brand Favata, our favorite server from six years ago. It seems that very few few employees leave Red Ash. It is such a wonderful restaurant!! We'll be back very soon.
