The coq au vin was not traditional. But it was tasty. However, for $30 there were three small pieces of chicken and a circle of finely chopped veggies. I left hungry. The smoked fish hush puppies had very little fish in them and the duck croquettes were over cooked. We weren’t impressed honestly. The service was very good.

Our waitress was charming. The restaurant was clean and looked warm and inviting. While small, the menu had many dishes that sounded good. Our choices turned out to be excellent!! And, portion size was spot on - we left and did not feel like we had over eaten!! We look forward to returning to see what is new on the next seasonal menu. Thanks for a wonderful dinner!!

Service was really good. Food was just okay. Went for Sunday brunch and ordered a Bloody Mary. Way too much garlic and/or onion powder and it was the worst Bloody Mary I have had. The duck on the duck tostada was tasty, but the dish ate way too dry and was bland. It was in desperate need of a sauce of some kind. The biscuits and gravy were like homemade English muffins and not biscuits. The gravy was seriously bland and had no flavor. Had high hopes, but left feeling underwhelmed.

We had a lovely Valentine’s dinner of bison short ribs and stroganoff with a shared Kale Caesar salad. Both meals were so delicious with amazing flavors with beautiful presentation. We each enjoyed a full bodied Syrah wine. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Aster with an amazing and attentive waitress, Taylor.

The Entrees were exceptional with a wonderful presentation. But be prepared to allocate extra time as they take care to prepare the entrees, and it takes time. Thank you

Food overall was very good. My Burger was overcooked and dry but all other entrees were received very well at our table of 4. Appetizers and cocktails were well done and th Pot De Creme was amazing. Great atmosphere and thoughtful menu. Will go back.
