   Put us in a back room, service was nice but average at best. Waited long periods of time without seeing anyone… Menu was basically bar menu, I guess Monday,Tuesday are not a full menu… I’ve been here many times with great experiences…. This just wasn’t one of those. The price was typical, $500 for 4 adults and two small children.

   Fabulous wine service- our server brought out Pinot Noir glasses for the bottle we selected, a.nice touch. The food was cooked and seasoned to perfection - nothing additional needed.

   My husband & I love going to John Ash before a show at Luther Burbank. Husband had rack of lamb. Said it was the best he had ever eaten! I had died & turf with potato croquets. The drinks were also delicious. Friday night was very busy. Made service a little slow. Understandable.

   The food and service was excellent, and the ambience was fitting for any special occasion. Our wine was good, but at $20 a glass was commensurate with wines we can selectively buy at $20 a bottle retail. Regarding dessert, there were too many chocolate options and not enough selections without caffeine. Nevertheless, we’ll be back again for a special occasion.

    At least 3 people ordered Halibut all we got was one tiny piece of fish and that was it. You should be ashamed to just serve this alone you should have potatoes and a vegetable. And how come you do not serve bread when you sit down at the table? I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. I was completely embarrassed to have brought my friends there from out of town

    John Ash & Co.Responded on January 11, 2023Good afternoon Eunetta, We sincerely apologize that your experience at John Ash & Co. was not what you hoped it would be.

    Awesome service! And the Filet Mignon was to die for! Sat on the patio, with lots of heaters, but still drafty and not quite a comfortable temperature. Our waitress was so fantastic!

    This restaurant is over priced and mediocre quality for Sonoma county. They were 30 minutes late seating my reservation even tho there were no less than half a dozen empty tables right next to me all night once sat. Service was poor and our table was not addressed for 20 minutes on 2 separate occasions. The online menu is outdated so if you choose this place based on that you will be disappointed. The oysters were low quality, the charcuterie was extremely small portions, lacked variety and vastly over priced for the quantity/quality. I would not dine here again nor would I recommend it to anyone else.

    John Ash & Co.Responded on January 11, 2023Good afternoon Jeremy, Please accept our apologies for your less-than-ideal check-in experience. After receiving your feedback, a dedicated team of staff members is working hard to assure that the quality of our service remains high. We hope you will give us another opportunity to showcase the exceptional hospitality for which we are known.

    Have to tell you that we have had dinner here every year on New Year’s Eve for the past 4 years and it’s always been fabulous. This time too the food was fabulous, visually appealing. But my mom & cousin who shared the Oysters were violently sick through the night. But 3 others in the party who did not eat Oysters did great . The wait staff are exceptionally nice and very attentive. We had a great time while we were there .

    Where to start. A prix fixe menu that should have been a bargain basement give away. First the “amuse bouche”. A teaspoon of unadorned Dungeness crab I guess it amused the accounting department but no one else. Then on to an uninspired country pate. No cornichons, but the marinated mushrooms were nice. The then the scallops and lobster “escargot”. This was actually quite tasty with small bites of lobster and scallops in garlic butter sauce served in an escargot dish. And then onto the mains. A few uninspired vegetarian dishes and char or an angus filet. I mistakenly chose the char. It was obviously old almost to the point of spoiled based on both smell and taste and the accompaniments did nothing to abet the foul flavor. My companion had the filet and said it was quite good but then you would have really work to screw up a filet. Finally on to dessert. The choices were meager. A pineapple upside down cake straight out of 1950s Bette Crocker, a chocolate cremeux, again not very inspired, and finally a raspberry mousse. My companion chose the chocolate mousse and pronounced it quite good. Unfortunately I chose the raspberry mousse. I’m pretty sure that raspberry mousse is not supposed to be crunchy but this one was due to undissolved gelatin. Again, not very appealing. Gratefully, that marked the end of the meal. Damages, $300 + $150 for wine plus tip. Needless to say, our last meal at this overpriced pretentious diner. John Ashe must have taken the week off and let the third (fourth?) string banks thi

    The beet salad was wonderful. My pork tenderloin was delicious. The chocolate dessert was a perfect ending to the meal. My husband enjoyed his coffee, but not his entrée. He ordered the special, ribeye steak. It was a mistake. That should not be served again. It was cooked properly, but it was very tough, even though he said it tasted like it had been tenderized. It was full of grizzle too. It was not the quality we have come to expect at this restaurant. It lowered my rating because it was such a disappointment. At $55, it was a waste of money.

    The oysters, charcuterie plate, soup and lamb were good. However the two orders of scallops and one order of halibut ran from just okay, somewhat tasteless, halibut to the nearly unpalatable scallops with pork belly. We will probably not have dinner here again. On the upside the waitstaff was flawless. The new chef is not comparable to the last one and John Ash would be so disappointed to have his name associated with the food served.

    My wife and I had a most wonderful dining experience this Christmas Eve at John Ash. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and we sat in our favorite Fireplace Room. The wait staff was very attentive and professional. Our meal was just superb from start to finish. The carpaccio with the Parmesan cream and fried capers followed by baked oysters, which was a masterful twist on the “Rockefeller,” were the finest lead up to the garlic and herb crusted rack of lamb. The Duckhorn, “Discussion” we shared was the perfect wine pairing for the entire meal. It was the most wonderful dining we can recall in a very long time. Thank you,

    With no family around this year we decided to go to John Ash for Christmas Eve. Our server made an old ladies’ experience warm and wonderful. She was quick with our cocktails and her kindness. Our food was delicious and generous. We shared that my mother doesn’t care for garlic and her whole meal seemed to be prepared with zero garlic?! The hostess team were sweet young ladies and chatting with them was enjoyable. Thank you again. As locals, we highly recommend and will return!!

    We go to John Ash every year just before Christmas to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We have always had stellar service, and the food has always been outstanding, until last night. To make a long story short, we waited close to 45 minutes after we finished our appetizer until our entrées arrived. I had ordered a $57.😵 rack of lamb. When it finally arrived, it was cold. The plate was hot but the food was not. I returned it to be heated. when the meal came back, it was warmer, but not anything close to what you would expect a $57 entrée to be. To be fair, my friend’s entree was fine. Other than the ridiculously long wait to receive our entrée, our server was personable and a pleasure. I know Covid has negatively affected businesses, and am hoping this is not going to be the norm in the future. John Ash has always been our go to place for special occasions…they have raised their prices exponentially, and I would hope the service and quality of their food would be commensurate with their prices in the future. It certainly wasn’t last night.
