   The food unfortunately came out luke warm and very, very salty (we joked that the cooks must be smokers). $40 for “Diver” scallops sliced in thirds was a huge disappointment. My husband said the scallops looked like U10’s and were sliced a little thicker than carpaccio and sautéed. Response, “no they’re not! Now do you want to talk to my kitchen staff?” Beware - the servers don’t share the water they offer is for a price. Paid $6 for supposedly in-house filtered sparkling (gas injected-not branded). While our server was knowledgeable about the menu, he gave my husband a fist bump on his shoulder and joked around like they were buddies because he brought the wrong wine. It was just awkward and uncomfortable, and definitely didn’t make up for the quality of the food. A manager asked as we walked out if there was a problem, my husband said ask the waiter or send me an email and I’ll send you a recap tomorrow. But no, the defensive manager insisted the conversation happen immediately outside the front door. When we expressed our issues, rather than trying to fix the problem for an unhappy table the manager asked questions like, do you want to check the temp of my refrigerators (wine was not at proper temp.) As to bringing the wrong wine bottle initially, my husband was chastised for not ordering by bin #! Then my husband was further aggressed for unprofessional behavior out side of Ash? He simply retorted with, “No sir, I offered email you tomorrow, you (the manager) insisted that this conversation happen immediately”. Not once did we hear, we are sorry your experience did not meet your expectations or we are sorry our service did not meet your expectations…. There’s a first time for every experience. Overall - the hype is definitely not worth it. Would recommend elsewhere to spend your hard earned $$.

   Incredible experience, the atmosphere is so upscale beautiful inside and outside seating. The food was delicious, and the staff was over the top. The wine pairings that the staff recommended were outstanding. I tried an orange wine that was refreshing and delightfully crisp. I had the strozzapreti which was delicious, and the general manager recommended a delightful red wine for dinner. This is not your typical italian style food very innovative, and you feel you are eating at a 5-star New York level restaurant. It is 5 stars with all of the staff waiting on you, you feel like a celebrity. I would say the lemon gelato with expresso was so fresh and unique then for extra they recommended a sherry that put the meal over the top. Very romantic, great for a business dinner, or any special event. Dining was a wonderful experience

   Wine list and service were great. The service was actually really really great. Attentive, personable, warm, fun. Cocktails were not terrific although we only had 3 (2 that we ordered and 2 complimentary welcome offering which was a nice touch. The executive chef inspected each place for proper doneness and presentation. That was impressive. The limited menu was interesting and looked delicious for modern Italian. I found the salt level on every dish to be on the verge of too much (and I like salt/well seasoned dishes). That was the only big complaint about the food. I wouldn’t run back…but I would go back. More of a brisk walk. They are close to really getting it right and being special.

   Focaccia and crispy artichokes were amazing with complex flavors with so much depth . Scallops were delicious as well. Service was very attentive … we felt pampered. Highly recommend!

    Ambience was nice. Drinks were good. Food was not good at all. For the amount of money I spent the food was not enjoyable at all.
