Restaurants near Texas State Capitol

We love coming to red Ash. The food in the service are always great. We had the pleasure of having Brandy serve us. She was the best.

If you want to impress J Carver's is the place to go. Let start off with complimentary champagne while we waited for our table. By the way, even the waiting area felt like VIP. Our waiter was amazing, and let me apologize ahead of time because I don't remember his name. But he was energetic, funny, and knowledgeable when it came to everything we had questions about on the menu. We had reservations for 2, and we were celebrating my husband's birthday. For drinks, we ordered The 24K drink, business before pleasure, and the caviar martini. AMAZING PRESENTATION, quality and taste superb 👌. The Appetizer Prime steak bruschetta was robust. And our entrees were just as good. Steak cooked perfectly warm pink in the inside as requested, oysters succulent and crispy, and the dessert literally melted in our mouth, strawberry vacherin. We had an amazing time. The atmosphere was warm, it was live in there. We enjoyed ourselves.

First time at Perry’s and we were blown away by the service, atmosphere and especially the quality of the menu. Our server, Robert, was excellent. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great steak dinner and experience in downtown Austin

Chef Gianfranco surprises and delights with his high quality ingredients melded to make traditional and innovative Italian fare. Find wonderful pizza here, with toppings loaded on the best bread in town - dough made with love and used for focaccia and table bread. Pastas are all imported from Italy's pasta town near Naples, except for one or more made in-house, and always cooked to al dente perfection. Sauces run the gambit from traditional bolognese (meat sauce) to inventive wonders like shrimp and asparagus in a light white sauce. Wonderful wine selection from Italy and from surprising places just east of Italy where the fruits of their centuries-old vineyards have yet to be marketed to Americans. Homemade gelato and other desserts are wonderful or end with a grappa or vin santo, my favorite on those occasions that i have room.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday here last night and from the get go felt like we were taken care of. The hosts seemed sincere and cheerful wishing her a happy birthday, and that set the tone for the night feeling special. I’ve worked in service, and I know it’s not always easy to be festive on someone else’s behalf when tons of birthdays are celebrated every day, and the kindness of the staff stood out. Sandra took wonderful care of us, comped a dessert for the birthday and made sure we had everything we needed while giving us our time and space to enjoy the meal. We will be back!
