It was a packed house for Thanksgiving. We arrived 5 minutes early for our 6:45 reservation and did not get seated for 35 minutes. The food was good but wasn’t warm enough. I felt like they needed more servers for the night but our server was very pleasant and sweet.

A good experience overall. Had to wait 40 minutes after reservation time to be seated. Once seated it took another 20 minutes for server to appear. Drinks were very late and ran up against dinner first course. Server was very -peasant and helpful once she showed up. Food was good. They really needed more server staff to accommodate the full house. For a premier expensive dinner, service should have been better.

We were a group of seven who had a prepaid Thanksgiving dinner at John Ash. We arrived 5 minutes early for a 5:30 reservation. The waiting area was packed. We were not seated until 5:55 PM. The menu was impressive and the food was very good. The service was less than adequate due to how busy it was. Our reservation specified indoor seating but we were seated on the patio and several of our party were cold. I will reiterate—the food was very good and well presented. But the total experience and value were below expectations.

$168 for a pathetic 4-course thanksgiving dinner. Mediocre food. Indifferent service. I guess because the customers pre-paid they felt they could provide Applebee's style service. I ordered a glass of non-alcoholic wine which was horrible and $14 a glass - ludicrous! I was able to get the attention of one of the indifferent servers as they sped by to ask for a cup of coffee. John Ash used to be an elegant wonderful restaurant in which I've spent many celebratory events, but it has really gone down hill. Don't waste your money, don't go to this restaurant.

The Chef was amazing and made my sister, who is vegan gluten free, a special and delicious 4 course meal for Thanksgiving of vegan gluten free dishes. We couldn't have been happier with the special service and consideration to make our family Thanksgiving dinner a complete delight.

i’ve loved John Ash for years, but after the last two times dining it seems they are getting too pricey for the product. the service remains excellent, though. My pork sugo was bland and 2 pieces of pork were too fatty. the wine mark-ups are brutal. we paid $79 for a bottle that retails for $25. the bar is fantastic and we’ll certainly return there, just probably do our next birthday dinner elsewhere.
