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.

    From the moment we Met the hostess, who provided us with one of the best seats of the house known we’ve been waiting two months to eat at the restaurant to staff that provided water or waitress. Emma was amazing. Everyone was kind and informative, and the food was spectacular. Seafood was out of this world. The drinks were on target and dessert the black lava cake that was suggested amazing highly highly recommend this restaurant. Everyone was cordial and nice and really provided us an excellent experience

    My partner and I were celebrating an anniversary last night and had the absolute best time at Red Ash! We will not only be coming back for more celebrations but bringing our friends and family to make sure they get a taste of this great place!

    Took my girlfriend here for her birthday and had overall amazing experience. Server was very knowledgeable on the food menu and drink list. Also made our night with a sparkling wine toast and kept checking in consistently.

    Truly disappointed. No less than a dozen rescheduled reservations due to demand and then their fire, we finally were able to try Red Ash last night. The place is ambient and aesthetically pleasing. It's VERY loud and quite dim. The font on the menu is very small combined with the dim lights- made for a difficult experience after dark. The bar tender did not make an Old Fashioned correctly which started the downhill tone and spiral of the evening. The bone marrow was over cooked, and once removed from the bone it is served on, it's a pool of rendered down fat on a plate. It was so grossly off putting. The Agnolotti was SO over truffled- we could smell it coming up the stairs. We could not eat it. A little bit of truffle goes a long way, too much truly shows that either the chef is covering up something or trying too hard. The Mezze Rigatoni Alla Campagnola had good flavor but the pasta was undercooked. I prefer pasta al dente, but this was chewy and not even to the palatable al dente mark. The only and best thing we had was the bread served with the Bone Marrow, and that's a stretch at that. I am so bummed. The experience did not even remotely live up to the hype. Totally overpriced and overrated. Doubt we'll be back, nor recommend to clients/guests visiting our city.

    Had a fabulous experience the last several times we went- we have been there 3-4 times in the last two months alone. This time from the moment we walked in, it was an unpleasant experience. Rather than discussing it here we will be writing the mgmt/owners.
