Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Midtown

I took my husband here for this birthday. Food, staff, and atmosphere were great! We were impressed by how flawless the staff works together. All of the courses were excellent and we appreciated the staff recommendations. Great wine selection. They gave a nice birthday card and small dessert to my husband!

The entire staff were wonderful, especially our waitress Rebecca! She made the night an easy and fun experience. She explained all the dishes with ease, cared about our allergies and dietary restrictions the entire night, and made sure we were never in need of anything. Overall we can’t wait to go back!

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!

This is a fantastic venue for a work lunch. The atmosphere is elegant, and the attention to detail is evident in everything, from the ambient candles in the bathroom to the beautifully presented mocktails we enjoyed. I have two minor suggestions for improvement: first, our table for four felt a bit cramped given the size of the plates, and second, while we ordered three dips, we felt that the pita was not replenished as frequently as we would have liked. Overall, however, I would rate the experience a solid 10/10. I highly recommend this establishment and look forward to returning in the future.

This was an amazing experience. We opted for the somakase as our server Juan seemed very knowledgeable and interested in our preferences. He was fantastic! The dishes he chose were wonderful as were the cocktails he recommended. We loved this restaurant for it's beautiful decor and ambiance, cuisine and service. One of the best dining experiences we have had!
