   I am updating my post to reflect that the restaurant, after my less than stellar review, reached out to me regarding my experience. This brought the overall rating up in my mind! They were keen to understand what happened with a focus on working to improve! In my mind, this makes all of the difference!! I will be going back to give them another try. We all have off nights. I may have just caught them at a less-than-optimal time.

   A true fine dining experience. There is a fully equipped bar, where we could have eaten, but we opted for the dining room. We had reservations, and I would recommend that you do so.

   Menu was not the same as what was shown online. My eggs were cold and underdone and my companion got the wrong order. $16 for 6 greasy donuts was way overpriced and had to ask for jam listed on menu. Prior experience at this establishment was great but food has definitely gone downhill. Our server was very attentive, friendly and apologetic for the order mixup. Won’t be returning for brunch.

   BREAKFAST at John Ash: We were so bummed when we were told they were closing down The River Vine -- the cafe at John Ash. BUT, we were told they'd be offering breakfast at the main John Ash restaurant instead, and we are so glad they do! First, our favorite waitress from The River Vine is still there--Vicki is great! Second, though we really liked the space at River Vine, the spaces at John Ash are much nicer, varied, and bigger as well. They have the full outside patio which is pretty and has great vies. The Covered Terrace is large, pretty and offers good views -- it is also fully enclosed in moveable glass walls so this offers great seating any time of year/weather. Then they also have the sweet enclosed area right behind The Front Room Bar--not sure what they call this area, but it is pretty and nice. Now for the food, I admit I was disappointed that they no longer have Huevos Rancheros on the menu (from The River Vine), BUT they have a very good substitute which is quite similar, ad that is their -- CHILAQUILES ROJOS -- crispy corn tortillas, queso fresco, crema, cilantro, avocado, refried black beans, charred guajillo chile, beer braised chorizo, pickled onions, two eggs any-style. This is very good. (For me, there are just too many crispy corn tortilla chips--they can easily use less if you ask.) COUNTRY BREAKFAST -- two eggs any style, spiced roasted potatoes, choice of chicken-apple sausage or applewood smoked bacon, whole wheat, or sourdough toast. The potatoes are so good, so is the bacon! We've also had the LUNCH at John Ash: BACON BURGER -- toasted brioche bun, 8oz angus beef, pickles, lettuce, tomato, roasted garlic aioli, apple-wood smoked bacon, caramelized onion, cheddar cheese, french fries. Very good -- that bacon, YUM!

    This was a special Valentine’s Day menu. The chef made accommodations for my shellfish allergy with a delicious melon gazpacho. We both ordered the veal and venison. Excellent! The wine pairings were good as well. Especially the Cabernet with the main course.
