- LLydiaAtlanta Metro •2 reviews5.0Dined todayFood was great- Service was fantastic. My aunt stopped through town and we decided last minute dinner plans. We were obvi underdressed but the staffed made us feel welcome. Our server picked up on the fact we will be chatting quite a bit and left us to catch up (great timing). I knew my aunt was gonna fight for the bill but I already told him- I’m taking it. And I’m glad he held up the bargain and didn’t give in to the sweet old lady eyes. She truly is a wonderful lady and you made this evening make her feel wonderful. So thank you to the server from table 209. <3More infoPerla's Seafood and Oyster BarPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.8

- JJeffDallas - Fort Worth •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe arrived and it was super busy. The hostesses were obviously working very hard to get people seated but diners were lingering obviously longer than expected. They did their best to accommodate us and we ended up sitting at the bar - which was an incredible experience. We enjoyed talking with the bartenders and the food was amazing. We’ll definitely be back.More infoIl BruttoPrice: Expensive• Italian• East Austin•4.6

- KKelleyAustin •14 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoI loved the lobster tails, scampi style & thought the pasta was a wonderful accompaniment. Also the chopped salad was crisp & had the perfect amount of salad dressing. The only downer was the red fish crudo. The main flavor was an overwhelming lime taste. It would've been much better in a "tears of the tiger" sauce or with some wasabi to make it more sushi-like. Serving it with crackers would help also and the avocados were unsalted. I've tried almost the whole Red Ash menu - the crudo is my least favorite dish. Try any of the other appetizers instead!More infoRed Ash ItaliaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.9
