Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef/Owner John Carver

From the OpenTable editors: It can take months to get into Chef John Carver’s wildly popular Italian restaurant, where there’s a custom woodfired grill at the heart of the industrial space. But it’s worth the wait for fresh pasta and epic steaks, like the cappelletti “bishop’s hats” stuffed with spinach and sauced with brown butter, alongside a 50-day dry-aged porterhouse “la Fiorentina.” Don’t miss the charred veggies, like roasted vine tomatoes with creamy burrata, and wash it all down with a house negroni.

    Had a lovely dinner for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Amanda was excellent! The Halibut was good but wish I had got the scallops instead. The Woodfired carrots and the smoke corn risotto were outstanding. Of course starting off with the butters garlic bread starting things off just right. Lastly, the Hot Chocolate Cake with vanilla gelato was one of the best desserts we have ever had and that's saying a lot. We are big dessert people. Thanks Red Ash!

    Always love our time spent here. We have gotten sat in front of the chefs twice in a row somehow and just really enjoy getting to watch the process go down! (and seeing a glimpse of every plate before we order) See y'all again soon!

    I loved the lobster tails, scampi style & thought the pasta was a wonderful accompaniment. Also the chopped salad was crisp & had the perfect amount of salad dressing. The only downer was the red fish crudo. The main flavor was an overwhelming lime taste. It would've been much better in a "tears of the tiger" sauce or with some wasabi to make it more sushi-like. Serving it with crackers would help also and the avocados were unsalted. I've tried almost the whole Red Ash menu - the crudo is my least favorite dish. Try any of the other appetizers instead!

    Great experience with staff as usual! Food on point- this is coming from a NJ girl used to good Italian. We are also vegetarian so great options for us.

    Food was above average but the seating arrangement was horrible. Our table was situated so close to the one next to us that it was really hard to have a conversation. It was also a pain to get in and out of the booth side because of how close the tables were.
