We had a perfectly grilled steak and the pillowy soft gnudi, followed by a decident pot do creme. We sat at the chef’s table and were able to see up close a set of spectacular chefs in action.

The staff was phenomenal and super accommodating of the fact that we brought our 4 year old along in our date night. The menu is small but there were plenty of options especially since we have food allergies (gluten free and nut free). I wish they had more options for sides and a dinner salad or complimentary bread to eat as appetizers. We had the ribeye to share and the half chicken and both were great. We left feeling satisfied even despite not having much by way of sides on our dishes (steak comes with arugula and the chicken came with a couple purées on the plate). We will definitely eat here again.

We enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's weekend tasting menu experience at Ash. This was our first time at the restaurant. Our server, Brandi, was amazing She explained everything we were enjoying, and had some very good beverage recommendations. It was a very nice experience, and the valet service was also very efficient and the drivers courteous.

The chefs cooking where you could watch and the open fire flavors are amazing. I never thought a grilled pink grapefruit would be one of the best dishes I have had in quite some time.

I have been to Ash about 7 times in the past. Always loved the food and service. Not sure if they have changed the chef but the food was not good at all and prices went significantly up. So sad but we will not go back unfortunately.

It was a VERY quiet restaurant for a Saturday night. The few menu items we tried were good not great and the menu is very limited. Our server was great and did the best she could given the limited options
