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!

J. Carvers gives exceptional service! I have been so pleased with the staff and even the valet guys. They remembered my name...lol. The food is incredible and everything I have chosen is delicious. And the Godfather cocktail is #1. I have asked for it at other restaurants and there is absolutely no comparison.
