Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef/Owner John Carver

From the OpenTable editors: It can take months to get into Chef John Carver’s wildly popular Italian restaurant, where there’s a custom woodfired grill at the heart of the industrial space. But it’s worth the wait for fresh pasta and epic steaks, like the cappelletti “bishop’s hats” stuffed with spinach and sauced with brown butter, alongside a 50-day dry-aged porterhouse “la Fiorentina.” Don’t miss the charred veggies, like roasted vine tomatoes with creamy burrata, and wash it all down with a house negroni.

    We had not been back to Red Ash since before the Pandemic. Shame on us! Now we certainly will make a new reservation as soon as possible, which will probably be a few months from now. Red Ash is so popular that it is that difficult to get a table. But the wait is certainly worth it. This evening we tried the Octopus a la Plancha at our server, Emma's suggestion. Octopus for our first time. It was wonderfully delicious and tender. For dinner we split Frutti di Mare, a wonderful selection of seafood laid on a bed of the best black and white sphagettini. Cooked perfectly! Emma was the perfect hostess and we were able to reconnect with Brand Favata, our favorite server from six years ago. It seems that very few few employees leave Red Ash. It is such a wonderful restaurant!! We'll be back very soon.

    The food was good. Our server was excellent. The hostess at the front door was offensive. My reservation was at 5:45. My friend arrived at 5:30. I arrived at 5:50. The hostess insisted I was late. I reminded her my reservation was at 5:45 and I asked her if there was a grace period of 15 min. She said there was but I was late and needed to be mindful we will need to be finished at 7:30 for the next party. She was extremely rude and continued to tell me because I was late. The food was good and we sat upstairs. If you go, request a table downstairs the upstairs feels like you're eating in a bedroom. I waited 3 months for this reservation, won't do it again.

    Service and food was outstanding. I was concerned it wouldn’t be worth the 3 month wait, but it was. The gnocchiwas the best I have had outside of Italy… decadent and light. The grilled garlic bread and burrata was also phenomenal.
