    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!

    Went on the tail end of happy hour—whole dining area can enjoy happy hour (not just the bar!) and the value is good! I have a tougher allergy (citrus) but the waiter was amazing and wrote down everything I could have, and made accommodations when necessary which is so appreciated in a restaurant like this that’s sharing plates style. 5 of us ate and drank for under $300 before tip—and EVERYTHING was delicious, even after accommodations!

    Absolutely amazing! We had the crispy green beans, 3 meat platter, the half chicken, mac and cheese, beans, and lemon pie. The half chicken is one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The sides were so delicious and the bbq was tender and flavorful. We had a wonderful waitress and really enjoyed the cool, moody atmosphere.

    If you want steak that melts in your mouth, make you not want to talk the entire time you eat? This is the place you want to come. The price is what you would expect for what you get, but be warned the steak is a la carte. Drinks are on point and the staff are the absolute best. 15/10 recommend and will continue to frequent.
