    Wonderful experience as always at Red Ash! We had chef counter seats where we got to see the expertise of the chefs and all the amazing dishes. As far as our personal experience, the service, atmosphere, and food was 10/10. Our waitress was attentive, kind, and had a passion for her job. We had the tagliolini with fresh blue crab, the tuna crudo, the San Daniele, and panna cotta. The tagilioni is the best dish we have had there with plenty of crab and great flavors of lemon, cream, and spicy breadcrumbs. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! Can’t wait to go back! Makes for the perfect date, family gathering, happy hour with friends, special occasion. :)
