We had a great time! This was our one-day-delayed Valentine's dinner and we had a great time. Our server was wonderful and the food was delicious. The food was straightforward - no upside-down, exotic, strange creations - but very nice and tasty. Ambiance was warm and wonderful. As for price? About 3x of Olive Garden, but about 50% of what we have had to pay for Valentine's Day dinners in Austin for the last several years. If you need dirt cheap, go to Olive Garden. If you can afford to pay more for a more polished and romantic experience, Quattro Gatti Ristorante delivers great value for the money paid. We will be back :-)

Came for an early dinner, post Valentine’s Day. The food was delicious! Service was attentive and all the staff we encountered were very kind. My finance ordered the pork tenderloin which was delicious, however it seemed the portion was a bit small. My pork chop was delicious and portioned well. The valet parking is listed as $10 on here, however it is $20, which is a little deceiving. Overall we had a good experience and would come back!

Really great spot—finally a place where you can actually sit down and have a conversation without shouting over loud music. They’ve got a DJ spinning vinyl, which is a nice touch, but it’s not overpowering at all. The lounge setup is perfect if you want a bit of privacy or just a chill vibe to talk. Service was on point—Rachel was amazing. And the best part? The cocktails were top-notch. The Buzzworth and Pornstar punch are definitely worth trying!

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.

Great food and great service! The staff was very attentive to our asks and the food was nothing short of amazing.
