Was extremely disappointed with Easter Brunch today . Buffet style not a good idea. I like it when we sit at the table and we were serve they had selected menu for Easter and for Mother's Day. People touching the food, kids using their fingers to grab food. not healthy if you ask me and the price was outrageous. Food not hot enough and the Egg Benedict was the worst I ever had the bread was dry and they were cold . However, The waiters and waitresses were accommodating. They need to go back to the way it used to be. Thank you.

We were very disappointed. John Ash had been a favorite place to take out of town guests. No more. There was nothing on the new menu that I even wanted to order. It was very average and I didn't finish mine. Service was excellent. But the quality of the food was a major disappointment. We will not be going back.

Came here after searching for something tasty to eat. Decor here is very nice. You have big booths and bid dining tables. There's also a bar area. We were seated at a booth and our table was completely off. The tilt was basically slanted . We asked for a different table and were seated elsewhere. However instead of them fixing that table they sat someone else there. Strange! We then got our food and it was delicious! What I didn't care about what the server kept disappearing. I ran out of water and no one came to ask if we were ok. Then he came and asked about dessert and then I had the chance to ask for water. Our server sent someone else to give us the water. He seemed lazy! I didn't care for service here but at least food was good .

NEW OWNERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The head chef left after 15 years of working at John Ash, Because the new owners wanted to make everything from frozen meats and canned foods/sauces! And since he didn't want to put his name on that kind of poor quality he left, so did his sue chef and head Pastry chef.This place has Plummeted into a nice Scenery with Denny's quality food.This is so sad, me and my family been going here for the last 10 years+ always was amazing. But now it's horrible. Do your self a favor and go somewhere else. I will be.

New ownership made this place absolute garbage. The new owners should pack up and leave. How can one manage to mess up a great place already up and running!?

During a recent trip (this past week), I brought friends from out of town to John Ash - the restaurant inside Vintners Inn.We chose a bottle of wine we wanted to enjoy with dinner and shared the selection with our server.Sometime had passed, and we thought perhaps they no longer had the bottle in inventory as they were taking a while. When our server returned with the bottle, he shared with us that the Sommelier had pulled him aside as they noticed an "error in the listing price of the bottle" and that he had been sent back to our table to "advise us that an adjustment had already been made to the price".The bottle we selected, which was listed at $65, had now become $265. The Sommelier had even gone as far to change the listing price on the digital tablet menu BEFORE sending the waiter spoke with us. Super tacky.We shared that while it was unfortunate to see an error had been made on their side, they advertised the price to us and we felt very strongly that the original price should be honored, period. We past on the bottle and told the waiter we really thought the whole approach was awful. He apologized and we tried to move on.But, what really rubbed me wrong was that not at one point during the dinner did any manager appear to even offer an apology, or address the error. They sent the waiter to apologize for them. The entire interaction was rather raw - ...'this is the new price he set and shared you can take it or leave it.'The wine was a Chev Pinot Noir by Michael Browne that sells for $85 from the winery. Through wholesale, the restaurant probably got it even cheaper. Maybe $65?To be asked to pay $265 for an $85 bottle on the heels of the error was in poor taste, and not in keeping with the reputation of what the restaurant used to be.After we left the restaurant, I actually sent an email to the hotel manager, and as of this writing, NO ONE FROM JOHN ASH OR VINTNERS has replied.I am not quite sure if I will ever want to return again, let alone rexommend it. The whole exchange was off-putting. I understand that restaurants have mark ups.... a 400% markup is robbery.To be honest with the yelp community you are better off driving by John Ash and finding a Starks restaurant, which is a few exits away. Each one of their locations has amazing curated wine lists, and they won't try to rob you over the markup. Don't get me wrong, there will be a markup... but $40 mark up as opposed to $200, seems more in line.

We often go here for drinks so we wanted to try dinner. Just a tad overpriced in my opinion. Fake plants for the price they could have a florist come in with fresh arrangements. Will be back at the bar and on a side note they changed the happy hour menu also, not as good as it was...miss those beef tips

Great food and ambiance. Our favorite go-to restaurant. New owners a concern as rumors are they are going to make changes (none needed!!) or "update" (not good) the interior.

John Ash is one of our favorite restaurants for special occasions. The ambiance is lovely, the music is soft and we can actually hear each other and have good conversations! We've always had exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly waitstaff and feel well taken care of. And we love the new menu of non-alcoholic Shrubs instead of cocktails--the ones we had were really yummy.
