    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!

    Brunch was delicious, we'll definitely be back. The restaurant is in such a cute little house and had more seating than I expected thanks to some outdoor seating. Our server was just ok, not overly attentive but did just enough. Definitely recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes! My husband got the steak and eggs and it was a hearty portion. We also got a cinnamon roll which they heated up and it was really good. We easily found parking, but you should arrive earlier to account for this. I highly recommend making reservations!
