For the 26th anniversary of when we first met, which was in 1999 at the University of Texas-Austin, my wife and I decided to celebrate with a fine-dining experience at Red Ash Italia (https://www.redashgrill.com/). I actually made reservations for us back in February because they book up fast and far in advance. Our reservation was at 6:30 but they were able to seat us right as we arrived around 6:15.
We had a table in the upper loft in the corner that gave us a great view of the dining room below. The atmosphere was really quiet and romantic until. . . a large party arrived and it got noisy real fast. Thank goodness we had the table in the corner because the woman that was seated next to the large party had to move. Our servers were very attentive and the food came out at a good pace that allowed us to enough the meal in a leisurely fashion.
We toasted 26 years of friendship and love with an old-fashioned for me and a moscato for her.
As an appetizer, we had the special of the day and it was delicious. These are risotto balls that are deep-fried. Inside are lobster and crab meat cooked perfectly.
We wrapped up our dining experience with a generous serving of their house made gelati & sorbetti. It was amazing and went well with their coffee. They comped us dessert because it was our anniversary. So sweet of them!
We enjoyed our dining experience at Red Ash Italia. The staff gave us a card for anniversary. It is certainly a special occasion restaurant, though, because of the costs. We might return in 4 years for our 30th anniversary. Bon appétit!
