Great bar staff makes a quality old fashioned. Great pizza. Loved the warm olives app. Might become my go to place when I visit Ashland.

Ordered takeout and the chicken was not edible. Everything was dry as a bone. Gave them another chance in the restaurant with a friend. There is no service at all really. No host stand or direction. The bartender acknowledged me. No water was brought to the table for 20-25 minutes. They were out of chicken on a Saturday night at 7pm. I’m now sitting here the next day with food poisoning. Food is not good quality. Very disappointed with this place.

From the moment we walked in, Charles, the GM, and the owner, Gregg, welcomed us in and made us feel like we were regulars even though it was our first time here. The food was simple, but delicious. They source as much food as possible locally, which ai love. I had the seasonal Peach Panzanella Salad with burrata and my partner had the arugula salad with salmon and we started with the warm olives. If you're in Ashland, this is a must visit! It's next to Cross Bros. where the coffee shop used to be - and - good news - they are opening a gelato/espresso shop soon!

This will be a first for me. I generally do not review in my own backyard. I spend my days delivering boxes elsewhere!
Since opening I have only heard negative comments about Ash & Olive from a few friends. The owner is unfriendly. Hmm… new restaurant, new staff, new oven, new bar… yea, I’d be a little stressed myself!!! Fear not, I have a bad habit of checking things out myself. How refreshing! At first glance, you have to take in the room. Spacious. Plenty of room for privacy and definitely wheelchair accessible. I absolutely dig the seating arrangements. A little something for any occasion.
My group of four arrived at eight. Part of our entourage had a previous not so great “experience”. We chose the couches with coffee table set up. Loved it. It’s just not something I’m used to in Ashland. Bravo! Okay… we were just there for vino and proof that Ash & Olive was doomed to failure. 😨 Oh dear… the evening was perfect. The ambiance was cool. We had a great time. Excellent wine selection. We ordered at the counter (Concept matches a great many restaurants I frequent worldwide). As I mentioned, we were just there for the vino , but one glance at the menu and I had to dive in. I ordered their Fab Four pizza. Yummy!!! The staff was fun and energetic. We did not wait on any of our orders even though all the tables were occupied.
At nine the Chris and Jeremy tag team showed up to run the now Ash & Olive Speakeasy. Nice job. We dropped the vino thing and tried a couple of cocktails recommended by Jeremy. Chris was busy checking in with all the tables. Impressive. Did I mention we live in walking distance?
Fun evening. My hats off to the owner. If you take a look at the reviews you’ll notice he answers them all. That’s another level of care and crazy. Nice!!!
If you’re in Ashland or on the ropes as to where to spend a comfortable and quaint evening, come check Ash&Olive out.
07/25/25: Another great evening at Ash & Olive. Excellent wine selection. All of our entrees were delicious, perfectly cooked. We called ahead and let them know that we were bringing our own birthday cake. They were thankful for the advance notice. All in all, another great evening.

We dined here for the first time today. The food was delicious and the service was gracious and quick. We shared the smoked fish appetizer which was out of this world. I had the farro grain bowl which was prepared perfectly. My husband had the meatball marinara provolone sandwich which he raved about. We noticed that several reviews complained about having to go to the counter to place the order, but we felt it was super efficient. We also enjoyed the fact that when we were done our meal we could just leave instead of having to wait for the check. Can't wait to come back and try some of the other menu items!

We stopped in for an early dinner, and the restaurant was not crowded at all. The staff was incredibly welcoming and gracious with suggestions regarding the menu. You have to order at the bar and then find a seat and they bring it to you then you have to pay at the bar when you leave. Not my favorite style of service. The restaurant filled up quickly after we arrived with a lot of families with younger children. Once the restaurant got more crowded, it appeared the staff was stretched a little thin and struggled to remember requests for ketchup, a box for leftovers, etc. I had the meatballs and the steak frites, which both were delicious. We had the cocktail of the day which was a watermelon vodka cocktail - it had the makings of a great cocktail, but it appeared the proportions were off.

The service was terrible, they give you plastic cheep cups, you order at the register, and the person at the register act like he was miserable. The food was jest ok. Then you clean your table off your self . The only nice thing was the atmosphere .
