    Would like the vibe to be more consistent — especially from the Red Ash crew. Food and drinks are great, though!

    Was expecting the same five star, best-in-Texas stekahouse I experienced on my previous (first) visit. Service, atmosphere, sides and dessert did not disappoint. Unfortunately, they didn’t have and individual size ribeye available (WTF) so I ordered a bone in filet medium rare. It came out nearly medium was massively oversalted. Gonna give you a pass this time, but you’ve got to be consistent.
