Restaurants near Texas State Capitol

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 :-)

First time in Austin and first meal in and it was an amazing meal to start to our trip. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Accommodating outside even with not the best weather.

Very reliable place to take family and friends. When are favorite table was taken we took to eating at the bar and still had a great meal and enjoyed our time. The manager was so great that not only did he acknowledge us but went to great lengths to make sure we were happy. Can't wait to go back!

Excellent food and atmosphere. It was lively, if not a little loud. We had four items, including the ceviche, brisket tacos, flautas, and sweet potatoes. I would recommend all. They were all super flavorful. The balance of potatoes and duck in the flautas was a little off (too much potato) which made it a little bland, but the mole sauce hit the mark and helped round out the flavor. We would definitely return and try other items.

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.
