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.

A lovely place for a good meal. Very busy and loud - a consideration if you are looking for a quiet night. The food was very good.

We requested heated terrace and were sat in side dining and told that outside was for a private party although we had. A confirmed outdoor table.

Beautiful place but we were disappointed in the cuisine. I’m sorry. Perfect location for the LBC…we appreciate that. With BBC s little creativity, the food could improve greatly.

I have had the pleasure of dining here on multiple occasions & wanted to treat my mother to a very special birthday dinner. We arrived & were greeted graciously & seated almost immediately. The ambiance is, as always, impeccable, the service lovely. My reason for rating as I have is this: Soup arrived cold, & tasted like it had spoiled. There was a drizzle of oil (very artistic & pretty), but the oil was ice cold, meaning when taking a spoonful, you encountered a chilled oily experience, as opposed to the hot, creamy texture of the soup as expected. I suspect the soup was made the day prior or even earlier in the day, then reheated, or it was platted long before my dining partners dish, giving it time to become cold. Additionally, the host (a gentleman) inquired how we were by referring to us as “girls.” My mother is over 70, & I, myself, am as expected, well past “girlhood.” In conclusion, I’ve come to expect better from John Ash regarding their menu, & the one infantilizing maitre’d. I don’t anticipate returning soon, but when I do, I’m hopeful these concerns will be faint memories.

Appetizer arrived before drinks (ordered first), had to ask waiter to take our order for main course (did he forget what we were there for?). Bill was wrong. Overall poor service for such an expensive meal. Don’t think we’ll go again.
