We had a lovely dinner on the patio. It was quiet with a lovely view of the vineyards. Everything was delicious but the standouts of our meal were the halibut and the roasted banana ice cream!! I wanted to go back and order the ice cream again for breakfast! And as usual the John Ash Manhattan is the best I have ever tasted!! Matthew in the bar took great care of us!!

My dish was great (lamb), but my husband's was average (duck). The waiter was very loud and so was one table. The waiters kept checking on us way too many times to see if we were done with our dishes. The price of the wine by the glass was ridiculous ($24 to $40!). We will probably not return.

This was the third time this August that I had lunch at John Ash. I love eating outside overlooking the blooming roses and the vineyards. Both times prior we were pleased with our food. Someone must have been asleep at the wheel during our last visit because the food was definitely off. My Baby Greens Salad was supposed to have labneh, but there was none. The grilled salmon measured 2-1/2" x 2-1/2"--I'm not exaggerating! It don't think that I've ever been served such a puny piece of salmon in my life! The lettuce leaves were floating in a watery liquid. It was certainly an unappealing salad. My friend got the prosciutto sandwich. It, too, was disappointing. There was hardly any prosciutto in the sandwich. It basically consisted of two large slabs of focaccia and a tomato slice. I wanted to use the restroom. My entrance into the restroom was blocked by a large chair. I asked the hostess to have someone move the chair so that I could go in. She said that I couldn't use the restroom because the water had been turned off. That's not all of what was "turned off"!

The food was great. Two of us had the French toast and one the Birra tacos. Very tasty and served beautifully. The menu was pretty limited and could use a few more options for lunch. I felt the menu is designed as a brunch menu.

We ate on the patio and as always, it was wonderful. I had the lamb, which is a new dish and was excellent. My wife had clams which she enjoyed a lot beautiful ambience.

Picked an inside table on the reservation and was initially sat in the patio until we requested an inside table instead. Our server was great and very attentive with just the right amount of checking in. However, for the price, the food was just good, not great. The hog island oysters with the yuzu mignonette was superb! The Caesar and asparagus salads we had were tasty however we didn't see the respective $18 & $19 price point in what we received. The mains were garganelle pasta was a tad over seasoned and the olives in the lamb shoulder overpowered the overall dish. Overall, the service was terrific and the apps were delish, but for the price point, we expected superb all around.

Overpriced for the poor to average quality of food. Beautiful setting however overlooking vineyards.
Dennis
four of us were able to be seated at a vinyard-side table, where the waiter and bus service was impeccable. We will be back. Each dish was done to perfection and we enjoyed sharing bites.

Absolutely lovely evening with my friend under an almost full moon. Extraordinary meal of braised lamb shoulder that did not disappoint. The terrace was perfect. Thank John Ash for the perfect end of a rough week.
Lori
We love this restaurant! It is gorgeous and has a beautiful outdoor area. Elmer is often our server. He works hard to provide fast and professional service. We love the beef tacos with the soft shell. Meat is so tender and delicious- not your ordinary taco.
Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food – we will definitely go back. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

We have not been to John Ash in awhile and Happy Hour was wonderful. The Sevice food and drinks were wonderful. We will start going more often.
Gail
Wonderful atmosphere! Perfect wine country interior decor and beautiful outdoor views. This visit was seated outside with a group dinner event, the service was perfect with delicious food paired with wines. One of my favorite restaurants to go do for happy hour also.

We celebrated my mom's 102nd birthday. The service was excellent. The food was outstanding and everyone had a wonderful time.

Charming view on the cover terrace of the lovely garden plenty of roses! We enjoyed the food so fresh and tasty! Especially the salmon and the halibut! Excellent wines, champagne and sparkling list! The Roederer Hermitage sparkling was a must! A dinner to remember!
