This was my second visit to Ashling. It is a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly. Shout out to Carolina who responded to and anticipated needs. The food was served in a timely manner and hot. Even my delayed guests were able to get their food pretty quickly. Everyone loved their dishes and I will be back!

The food took a very very long time to come out. Even a glass of wine. The food was lukewarm when it did come out. The waiter was too busy serving other parties to refill water. The food was just average. The overall experience was poor and I will not be returning.

I have been several times before and the food has always been good. Today the fried chicken was not up to par. It appeared burnt and not the golden brown color of the past. The kitchen said that was the best they could do. A little disappointed.
Ashling Kitchen & BarResponded on 4 February 2025
Thank you for being a loyal guest at Ashling and for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that you've enjoyed our food in the past, but we're truly sorry that the fried chicken didn’t meet your expectations this time. That’s not the standard we strive for, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll be addressing this with our kitchen team to ensure consistency in quality.
