    We were pleasantly surprised by our experience at Ash. We read some reviews before going, which we were mixed. My husband and I live nearby (a few blocks away) but had not gone because of the reviews. My parents are in town visiting and they wanted to go so we agreed. The restaurant, food, and service exceeded our expectations. The service gets an A++++. Our server Genesis was amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable about the food and the menu and made an excellent presentation of everything. The food dishes were small, even though they are for sharing. I left not feeling overly full but quite satisfied. Everything we ate was delicious. The atmosphere was very modern and I liked that it was tucked away. We would definitely go back. Thank you chef and service team for changing our minds about this restaurant. We would definitely recommend it to others.

    This is our second time here in the past 6 weeks, and we absolutely LOVE THIS PLACE! Mikey was our server, and he was fantastic! The food was terrific, the drinks were delicious, and the overall vibe was super cool. Trey, the food and beverage manager, came to our table and spoke with us, too; what a great guy who knows how to run a remarkable restaurant! If you go early, sit at the bar and have Alexis make you one of their signature cocktails. You will not be disappointed.
