Best Date Night Restaurants in West Austin / Westlake

We celebrated my best friends birthday and had an absolutley beautiful evening. The staff took such great care of us and we were deeply appreciative. I always bring people to Sammie’s when they are in town, truly a gem in Austin 🩷

The atmosphere, service and food were all top notch. You cannot miss out on the short rib hummus 🤤

The entire staff was SO lovely and knowledgeable, and the food was absolutely divine. Huge thanks to Mychael, Kam and Caleb for making our experience so memorable!

Expectations were high, because we’ve heard so much about it. However, expectations were exceeded. Everything was great. Great ambience lively energy. Amazing food great service. Not cheap but you get what you pay for Kelli was our waitress and she was awesome and there was a team backing her. I didn’t catch their names, but they were great as well

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.
