- BBethanyAustin •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoCame 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!More infoRoaring Fork - Downtown, CongressPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.6
- BBrianHouston •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe service was excellent. Our server had tasted every dish. She was able to give us her opinions and the feedback of customers to provide helpful answers to our questions about the menu. Even the food runner had detailed knowledge of the menu and, when dropping off our appetizer, recommended the rest of our meal. The food was top notch. The a la Brasa (half a chicken with sweet potatoes) was amazing. The margarita was great and not overly sweet. We really enjoyed our dinner!More infoLa CondesaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Downtown•4.7

- OTOpenTable DinerWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe 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.More infoRed Ash ItaliaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.9
