Dean’s lived up to the hype and is the perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion or have a date night if you want upscale but classic Italian steakhouse cuisine with fantastic service! I made reservations for 2 at 9:15 pm on Valentine’s Day (Friday night). We arrived early at 8:50 pm and were seated about 5 minutes ahead of our reserved time. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, they were giving each couple a rose which was such a nice touch! SERVICE - Our server, Hannah, was so attentive, personable, and took great care of us! Despite it being Valentine’s Day, we received great service from start to finish… our water glasses were constantly refilled, food came out quickly, and both the manager and chef checked on us toward the end of the meal to ensure everything was to our liking. We were highly impressed! WAGYU MEATBALLS (8/10) - These were juicy, flavorful, and seasoned really well! You get 5 meatballs with plenty of San Marzano sauce and Grana Padano on top and it comes with a piece of crispy bread. DEAN’S ONION SOUP (10/10) - If you love French onion soup, this is a MUST order! The broth is incredibly flavorful, the cheese is plentiful and perfectly melted, and the volume of onions was ideal. SPICY SHRIMP STROZZAPRETI (9/10) - The strozzapreti was cooked to the perfect al dente and the sauce had a nice balance of cheesiness, creaminess, garlic, and chile oil. 8 OZ PETITE FILET (10/10) - Fantastic steak! It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and had a nice crust around the edges while still being juicy and tender inside. BILLIONAIRE’S POTATO (10/10) - One of the best twice baked potatoes I've had! I LOVE truffle so the freshly shaved truffles on top were a great addition and the actual flavor of the potato was fantastic… you could taste the cheeses but could also still taste the potato so it wasn’t overbearing. This was my first time at Dean’s but I would definitely go back and will recommend it to others in the downtown Austin area!

The food was very good and our waitress was amazing as well thank you for a good night !

Of course it was unusually loud as it was Valentine’s Day and everyone was out celebrating. We were near the front door so it was a bit chilly each time the door opened. They did have a great photo op of red balloons and were very accommodating about taking your picture. Always a good experience at III Forks. (Fave place since it’s where my husband proposed to me years ago).

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.

As a former Austin resident, Truluck's was always one of our favorite dining spots. While back in town for a business meeting, I knew exactly where to take our clients for a great dinner—Truluck's was the only choice. With their selection of fresh seafood flown in daily from the East Coast, they did not disappoint. The large crab claws were a standout, especially for our guests who had never tried them before. In fact, their CEO enjoyed them so much, he ate three himself! Truluck’s remains a must-visit for us whenever we’re in Austin or at one of their other Texas locations.
