The service was outstanding! Our attendee was close by, attentive and ready to do anything necessary to make our evening delightful and issue free. As far as I could see, the same service was being received by the other guests too. The food quality was excellent with very tasty steak (I personally had a fillet) and succulent chicken (my partner's dish). Faultless is perhaps the word I would use to describe the evening. Good food, a buzzing atmosphere, and great service. No more to be said, thank you Red Ash.

Everything was perfect. The ambience, the food and the service. I’m picky about cocktails. The Duchess might be the best one I’ve ever had. Brioche bread was a die for, I ate the entire loaf alone. 100 layer cake was stunning and also delicious. This just beat out my number one favorite, Jeffery’s in town.
