    This restaurant never disappoints. We’ve been coming here for almost 20 years and never had a bad experience. We celebrated tonight a late New Year’s Eve and the service was impeccable: never felt rush, always checking at the right time if we needed a anything and bringing each course at the right time. The food absolutely delicious and so were the cocktails. And one little tool that puts such a perfect touch on that table cloth: that metal blade that gathers so carefully all the crumbs. Our table looked implacably clean all evening. I love these small details that make everything being just perfect. We’ll return again and again for as long as this level of service stays the same.

    I 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!
