    My first visit. it was a wine tasting dinner. The Leal and Wine was mostly all good. The service was great. The ambience was fine. The only problem is that the main course the tender line was way. Overcooked is what I’d call medium well and dry. I don’t know why it’s so hard to make medium rare meat.

    We had a wonderful night at The Ashford! The food and drinks were well crafted. They have something for everyone and our group loved trying a little bit of everything. The Beef Wellington was a big hit and their wine selection is fantastic. It’s such a gem! Highly recommended!!

    This was our first time to try The Ashford and we were amazed at how good it was. For an appetizer, my husband and I shared the wrapped dates. So good! For entrees, my husband ordered a steak and I ordered the Tuscany chicken. We both loved our entrees. My husband devoured his steak and he’s very picky. For dessert, my husband ordered the bread pudding and devoured it as well. Our server, Ryan, was excellent! Even though we didn’t sit in the bar area, they do have a vibrant bar area that got busy. Lots of great wine and cocktail options. Highly recommend and we will be going back.

    Really nice place! I’ve never been before even though it’s not far! This sounds silly but the vanilla latte was SO good!

    Second time to fine here. Nice atmosphere, solid food and good drinks. Only "miss" is that both times I've been here, I've made reservations thru OpenTable and included notes that it was a special occasion. Both times, our server failed to acknowledge - didn't even inquire. A lil disappointed.

    The service here is always so slow! I think they need more wait staff. Otherwise the food is good & has improved over the years. Music can be too loud especially outside
