This was a special Valentine’s Day menu. The chef made accommodations for my shellfish allergy with a delicious melon gazpacho. We both ordered the veal and venison. Excellent! The wine pairings were good as well. Especially the Cabernet with the main course.

An elegant and tasteful venue with farm to table dishes. My husband and I came into town for a night and were treated like family regardless of us being the last seated reservation for the night. The drinks were excellent paired with the cuisine with views, although seen in the night, were truly to admire. We’ll definitely be back again, as it was the perfect date to celebrate.

I love going to John Ash. I have never had bad service. Either at the bar or the dinning room. The food is great. They have awesome happy hour. And the drinks are amazing.

This has long been one of our go-to restaurants for special occasions—but that seems to be over. Our first clue was the “temporary all-day menu,” only offering a half dozen or so main dishes, plus appetizers and desserts. I thought they’d given us the lunch menu, but the server apologetically told us they’re going through “some changes” and this was all they offer. The main dishes included tacos, a burger, a pasta dish, a chicken dish, cioppino, short ribs and a steak. That’s pretty much it. My wife went with the short ribs, which were served on polenta with a reduction sauce that overwhelmed the entire dish and was definitely not to our tastes. I had the steak, which came with a side of fries. It was fine, but certainly nothing special. Like they told us, “change is coming.” Sadly, it seems not for the better.

There was no one there at 1 pm on a Saturday. Maybe 3 small groups in a place with 30+ tables. Might be because the menu was mainly egg dishes, al la breakfast fare. Mussels and a burger were the only lunch items. Wish we had chosen someplace else for a special lunch. The sauce for the mussels was delicious and the mussels tasted very fresh. I'm concerned that such a beautiful place is being mismanaged so no one is showing up.
