Had a wonderful visit at this cider room. They offer a great selection of draft cider. While their food menu is small, they have some good vegan options! We tried a tofu bowl and vegan chili. Both had great flavor! Friendly service and chill atmosphere.
Food was amazing!!!! Had the Mediterranean bowl with a cider braise chicken. Absolutely wonderful.
Dietary restrictions: Great place for those who have to eat gluten free. Friend has celiac disease and she can eat there with no concerns
Parking: Just be prepared to have to walk once you find parking.
We made reservations for brunch for a birthday celebration and when we arrived the brunch menu was no longer in season; so that was a little bummer. I will say, our server, Erin, and the cider were exceptional.
Since we had planned on brunch/breakfast food we were kind of thrown for a loop and decided to order appetizers to share. There isn't a polite way to say that the food was mediocre at best; I think the oil in the fryer could use a changing.
The restrooms were not the cleanest; which was surprising because the restaurant was organized, bright and cheery.
I am not a huge cider fan; generally they are too sweet. The variety Ash & Elm have was next level and my taste buds were happy and shocked all in one.
Because of the cider and the experience with our server; I would go back to have drinks for sure.

The cider here was great. All different flavors and some style differences. One problem you get with cider places is their 10 ciders all have the same flavor. These actually were all different. Food was super tasty and I believe her name was Sally (been over a month) was absolutely amazing. The location was a bit weird and not too cozy but otherwise this is by far the best place to enjoy tasting cider.

Service was phenomenal. Did a flight to try a seasonal and it was all delicious. Food was great, portions were huge. It did take a while for one person's food to come out, but they enjoyed it once it did!

I LOVE this place, it’s been my Gluten Free HAVEN. But finding out that they no longer have the tofu fries legit made me want to cry 😭 PLEASE BRING THEM BACK. I love the Autumntide but that’s seasonal. The tofu fries are the main reason I come to Ash & Elm and I am pretty much devastated

Delicious food and cider. We got a cider flight, and all of the ciders were great, but I especially loved the seasonal Hazy Harvest. We stopped for a quick snack and drink before a comedy show and we were able to get in and out quickly with a really friendly and attentive server. We had the elote fitters and brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts were delicious!
The entrance was a little difficult to find, because it's part of a larger building. Someone helped us find our way and the inside was very cute. We will definitely be back!

I love this place. and I adore the ciders. The staff and atmosphere are always top notch. The food.... something needs to change. The appetizers are always fried to a crisp, and they all taste the same. The menu is a little stagnant. I really wish they would change the menu and step up the flavors and the choices. The food's a little expensive for the quality and The taste. It should be as much of an experience as the ciders, in fact complimenting the ciders, especially those that are limited, or seasonal. Add food that is also seasonal and compliments those particular ciders.

I invited a friend to try Ash & Elm with me for the first time. I made a reservation for November 12th at 6 pm, & received an emailed reservation confirmation complete with confirmation number. We showed up that night only to be told the restaurant was closed for a private investors' event. Just like the confirmation email requested to "call us if you are running later than 15 minutes after your reservation time," I sure would have appreciated a call. I messaged them the next day & never received a response.
