Ash

From the moment we stepped through the doors of Ash in downtown Tampa, we were treated as if we were the most important guests in the world. What the staff didn’t know—and what made their kindness even more extraordinary—was that this was a deeply meaningful evening for my daughter and me. She’s about to return to college, and I’m preparing to undergo a complicated treatment and surgery to remove cancer. We needed this dinner to be special—and somehow, they made it unforgettable. Miles and his team didn’t just provide service—they created an experience. Every interaction was warm, attentive, and genuine. We felt truly seen, cared for, and celebrated. And then there was the food. Wow. The dishes were not only beautifully presented but also perfectly composed. Every flavor felt intentional, from the surprising delight of the artichokes to the incredibly crafted pastas that were unlike anything we’ve had before. Unique yet comforting, elevated but deeply satisfying—every bite told a story. We came to Ash hoping for a special night, and left with something far more profound: a lasting memory of joy, warmth, and beauty during a time when we needed it most. Thank you, Miles. Thank you, Ash. You gave us a gift we will always carry with us.

If I could leave more than five stars, I would. Our experience here was nothing short than fabulous. The drinks were incredible, the food was nothing short of a culinary experience. I just traveled in Italy for two weeks, eating at 5 different Michelin guide + star Restaurants, and dare I say my experience at Ash was better than all of them combined. The head Chef, Seth made our experience unforgettable. We will be back with our friends and loved ones!!

Great service, greeted very nicely by the hosts and even though we didn’t have a reservation, they were able to get us a seat within 10 minutes. Highly recommend the fried rabbit, super crispy and flavorful, also got one of the creamy white bean pastas. My friend and I both got one cocktail and split the fried rabbit and a pasta and the bill was $48. The food came out quickly and the service was great.

We’ve been here several times! It will not disappoint. An absolute gem! From the moment we walk in, the ambiance set the perfect tone—warm, inviting, and beautifully designed. The service was top-notch; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly valued. And the food? Simply outstanding! Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Have to get the marzipan Sunday! This place is a must-visit, we can’t wait to come back!

We came here for my birthday dinner and we’re not disappointed at all. The entire staff from hostess to our server were attentive pleasant and professional. Our server April was excellent. The portion s are perfect. Food is delicious. Atmosphere is is the perks decor light and sound. Love the vibe . Would definitely recommend.

Amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing service, amazing aesthetic. The Ash and Alter Ego one two punch is a testament to Water Street’s best dining, drink spots, & aesthetic. Ash elevates the local Tampa food scene, would highly recommend the Cavatelli pasta. Drinks were amazing as well, Gigi was a top notch bartender.

Vibes are stunning, staff was beyond sweet, unfortunately just felt like the food fell flat. We went with the servers recommendations and between our group of 4 we had 2 starters, 1 pasta, and 3 mains (steak, chicken, and pork) and everything was fine but just not great. The meats were juicy and tender but lacked flavor. And the espresso martini was a little too bitter for me.

This Italian restaurant is a true gem — elegant, modern, classy, and welcoming. The service was outstanding, and the owner went out of his way to make us feel at home. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. A perfect spot for a special night out. Highly recommend! And you HAVE to try to lounge next door for an after dinner cocktail!

My wife and I go to a lot of restaurants, but Ash? This place knows what it's doing. Our server Lily was fantastic. We both ordered espresso martinis. I decided to switch things up with bourbon while my wife went with the traditional vodka. Both drinks were perfectly balanced and honestly set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional evening. The crispy artichokes had me questioning why I don't eat more vegetables. Perfectly crunchy outside, tender inside - they've basically solved the artichoke puzzle. The beef tartare was simple and fresh. Then comes this focaccia, still warm from the oven, making everyone at nearby tables jealous. The red snapper was so fresh it probably didn't even know it was dinner yet, and the strozzapreti with wagyu beef cheeks? Pure genius on a plate. We finished with the marzipan sundae - macerated strawberries, amaretto cookies, and at this point I'm convinced they're just showing off their skills. But here's where it gets next level - they made my wife a congratulations card for her new job and had the entire staff sign it. I mean, who does that? It's the kind of thoughtful gesture that makes you realize you're not just eating at a restaurant, you're experiencing genuine hospitality. Bottom line is Ash delivers on every level. Great food, great service, and the kind of personal touches that turn a good dinner into an unforgettable night. What can I say except, "You're Welcome. "

This restaurant is quite extraordinary! From the amazing service, well curated drinks, and delicious food. It is also beautifully decorated and have great music playing. I'd recommend this to anyone! It's a great place for a romantic date or cute girls night out. Here are the items we got to enjoy: -Focaccia with whipped ricotta and herb oil -Caviar Bump -Mafalde pasta with lump crab, XO sauce, and preserved lemon -Organic Chicken with chanterelles, Marsala, and roasted grapes Dessert: Marzipan Sundae with macerated strawberry, amaretti cookie crunch, rosemary honey Each item had their own burst of flavors! Everything was very tasty and unique. I definitely will be going back!

I am coming out of yelp retirement. I lost my 9 year yelp elite status in 2023 becauae of pure laziness. I haven't written a review in years. It has been ages. Ash literally made me re-download the app so I can share this delicious goodness with you all. Yes, you heard it here first. I am out of retirement and it is because the food at Ash is so great I have to tell everyone about it. So, let's begin. Okay errbody, grab a seat and put your brightness up. Ambiance and vibes: Ash is a BEAUTIFUL restaurant. Small, cozy, great for an impressive first date. If it's a third or fifth date, go to Ash first, get tipsy, then head to alter ego (its right next door). Girlies, wear your heels (you can go in shorts we dont discriminate). Wear your black top and jeans (iykyk) and get your drinks because this place is cute cute) Food: The food is amazing. We took my in laws and we ate so much for such a great price. It is family style so basically share everything and that is what I recommend you do. We ordered one to two dishes of each part of the menu and two desserts. 4 drinks and the bill was STILL under $400!!!! We started with the raw oysters, yum. Then we went with crispy artichokes (dish 1) and fried rabbit (dish 2). ORDER THEM!!!! YOU MUST GET THE ARTICHOKE AND RABBIT, I BEG YOU. phew let me calm down. Im demure. Im mindful. Im a classy bitch. Ok back to food. Then we ordered the MKT fish and Wagyu Picanha- perfecto. The meat was perfect. For pastas we ordered Mafalde and the Tonnarelli AND get the foccaccia NOW with the pasta so you can dip the bread in the pasta sauce (carbs on carbs on carbs) sooooo good. Oh I forgot to mention earlier that my mother in law loved the artichokes so much she ordered them TWICE yeah. First time this has ever happened to us in a restaurant. Get the artichokes, K? K. For dessert we ordered the marzipan sundae and the secret menu item (panna cotta) do both. Really. Do it. You will thank me. Okay overall 10/10 and I have to thank two very important people. 1. The server at Noble Rice that recommended Ash to us. You know who you are and I thank you for knowing us so well you recommended Ash. 2. Our server for the night Maya, Maya was so knowledgeable and kind. Someone who genuinely knows what she is doing and made our whole experience wonderful We will be back and I do hope this review helped direct business their way. They know their food and what they do with artichokes is criminally delicious.

Ash is a beautiful little spot to visit with your friends or loved one for a date night. The atmosphere was pretty chill and relaxing. The seating was spacious and the server was very nice, making recommendations as it was our first time. We enjoyed the drinks which were reasonably priced and the food which was flavorful and played beautifully as you can see. The restaurant wasn't too crowded either so that helped with the noise volume. Would certainly recommend checking this spot out.

We had an incredible, 5 star dining experience at Ash! I came with a party of 6 and we split many different small plates - everything was excellent! The Jet Plane cocktail was outstanding. Also highly recommend the beef tartare, focaccia, crispy artichokes, and all the pastas. Our server April was fantastic and took care of our large party with grace and kindness. Overall a must stop on water street for an awesome meal. The atmosphere is so cute and trendy which is such a bonus!

We had Ash over the weekend and thought the food was unique and delicious! The fried artichokes were our FAVORITE of the night. Flavors were perfectly balanced and the artichokes had a nice crispiness to them. (ate them before we could get a picture haha) Focaccia is delicious and springy and the whipped ricotta with herb oil went with it deliciously! Wagyu pasta was very good. Pasta is clearly fresh and made in house! Nice and savory. Organic chicken dish was done very well, maybe slightly salty for me. The skin was crisp and the mushrooms and creamed polenta blended nicely with chicken!

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend. Great drinks and service. Will definitely be back.

I was really happy I chose this place for my birthday. If you're looking for a cute/classy/mellow place with a unique menu, this is the spot. (Might not be as mellow on the weekend) I approve of everything we had! It was so cool trying rabbit for the first time- intimidating at first, but it tasted like an extra flavorful chicken. I got the conchiglie pasta and the flavor was immaculate- very filling for me but it you're a heavy eater you might need something else to hold you over. Paired it with a rich Italian wine from their menu- highly recommend Last but not least our server McKenzie was on point!! He described the menu to a tea- we were all fascinated by how good he was at giving us such detailed descriptions. Overall 10/10 place!!

Bartenders know how to make a drink, especially if certain drink options aren't your cup of tea! I a was made a tequila based drink of sweet goodness! Food wise, please get the fried rabbit for your small plate, the focaccia if you're a big back like me, and enjoy bread, and for an entree, I thoroughly enjoyed wagyu hanger steak. Ambiance is giving light, cutesy, and casual yet classy! Give them a try, por favor

While I was in Tampa visiting friends the four of us decided to eat at Ash. I agree with others that the fried rabbit was awesome. Although we were unsure what the white foam was? Maybe didn't catch it on the menu? Otherwise, everything was not bad at all just kind of pricy for being tapas. I would have liked the bruschetta (pictured) to be cut into 4 pieces for a more bite sized approach but the bread was perfect. Pro-tip: some items are 3 pieces, some are 1 (ravioli) and some are 2 (bruschetta) so be sure to check with the server!

Very cute spot, friendly staff. Fried Rabbit - tasty, just like chicken wing though, came with gorgonzola dipping foam which was interesting. Bourbon Grapefruit/Yuzu cocktail also pretty good. Would recommend!

What drew my friends and me here was the unique menu offered. We did family-style sharing with all of the dishes ordered so we could try a little of everything. We ordered quite the variety and some items were a hit, others were not. The beef tartare and the fried rabbit were definitely my favorite! And the wagyu hanger steak was quite delicious. The pork chop arrived to us undercooked (lots of pink in the middle) and we had to send it back to the kitchen unfortunately. The pasta tasted average and especially with the portions, I could've done without them. The restaurant has a beautiful interior, I enjoyed sitting by the tree very much. The service is top notch with the constant utensil switch-out and they managed the mishap with the pork chop dish well. I had a wonderful time here at the end of the day.

So, I will say that I was excited to try Ash because of all the great reviews on Yelp and Google, but this is the first time in a long time that I felt like the restaurant really failed to deliver. I was in town for AP Reading and came to Ash with two of my good friends. The restaurant was well lit and well decorated. It just so happened to also be Father's Day and they had some special items on the menu. Our server definitely tried to push the items on that menu, which is fine. When we asked her for recommendations, she provided a few. When we asked about some seafood options, her response was that she didn't seafood and so she wouldn't know. Now, I know people have different tastes, but as a server, I think the right response would have been that she hasn't tried the dish personally but have heard this from people who have ordered the dish before. It definitely shouldn't be something that can be construed as negative. She also pushed for the steak dish on the special menu that was way more expensive than the steak option on the regular menu, insisting that it was a great dish and that she liked it better than the regular steak option. So, I ordered the snapper crisp to share and my friend ordered a starter as her main course. We were catching up and talking with each other and our server never checked on us. After about almost 30 minutes she finally came by and we were asking about the main dishes that we had ordered. She then told us the she was waiting for us to finish our starters before bringing out the main dishes. I just thought. Wow. You should have told us that you'd bring out the mains after we finish the starters, which she never did when we were first served. Anyway, then came our mains. My other friend ordered the chicken dish, which she said was delicious. My special steak, on the other hand, was quite bad even though it may look delicious in the picture. It was not even lukewarm when it was served, and she never asked me how I like my steak cooked in the first place and it was definitely leaning towards the rare side. It was also just a bad piece of steak with lots of grizzles and fat (and I don't mean the good kind on a well-marbled steak). I thought about sending it back to the kitchen, but by that point I really just wanted to leave because the service and the food were both so disappointing. I also felt a little bad since I had suggested Ash to my friends. I do hope that this was just an aberration, but it definitely is not an experience I want to have again.

Another great spot in Tampa! I will say that our group made a mistake and we chose to get dinner on a night when the Lightning were in town. Shame on us because parking was ridiculous but it was totally our fault. We started off with 2 types of the bread, the oysters and the fried rabbit. I'm surprised that the rabbit is their go-to dish. None of us were impressed. For entrees we did the cavatelli, the Wagyu steak and the triple tail. I thought they were all great. Our server was Maya and she was also fantastic. She was great at answering questions and letting us know about each dish.

From the moment we stepped through the doors of Ash in downtown Tampa, we were treated as if we were the most important guests in the world. What the staff didn't know--and what made their kindness even more extraordinary--was that this was a deeply meaningful evening for my daughter and me.

Thank you, Ash. You gave us a gift we will always carry with us.

Great drinks, bartenders definitely know how to mix 'em. The bartenders did an excellent job keeping everyone's drinks topped off. A little out of the way location but well worth the trip for a good time. Clean, semi upscale and right by Amelie Arena. Great place to stop before or after an event for cocktails and a light bite.

We were very excited to try this place. It's a beautiful space, the server was friendly. Now to why we came- the food. We tried almost the whole menu (which is very limited). We tried the focaccia, rabbit, pasta, artichokes, crudo, scallops and salad. All six of us were pretty shocked and disappointed when dish after dish, the food was basically flavorless sometimes really not good. The portions are ridiculously small and prices are at the top $$$ We were so disappointed that we didn't even want to try the desserts. We were still hungry when we left and went to another place to eat something else. Unfortunately a pretty space is not enough to keep customers coming in.

This was an incredible meal! The ambiance was great. The food was excellent. Everything we ate was amazing. Romantic atmosphere and good for fun night out. Service was excellent. All of the food we ate was a unique combination of flavors and textures and beautifully and deliciously prepared.

My wife and I dined here for Valentine's Day. I'll preface by saying that I'm often a bit critical of Valentine's Day prefix menus. My opinion is that they are usually overpriced with small portions. Atmosphere: The restaurant feels upscale, clean and inviting. A nice setting for a romantic date or a small group celebration. There is comfy seating and even booth-like, bench seating. We had outdoor seating which was fine with decent weather. The only complaint was that Alter Ego's music was a bit loud while trying to converse. Food: They had a 5-course menu for Valentines Day. It was all tasty. There was noticeable attention paid to the textures of each dish. All of which featured soft, firm, smooth, and crunchy/crispy elements. The Wagyu Tartare was very good. The beets were also nice. This was my first time having foie gras and I was pleasantly surprised. The Carbonara was good but a bit too salty. We finished it though since it was the "heaviest" thing on the menu. The lobster tail (only half a tail) and ratatouille were very good, but we weren't fans of the tomatoes on that dish. Last was the pear dessert. It was yummy! Wish there was more. Overall, the food was very good! Albeit PRICEY! Drinks: We opted out on the wine pairing, and instead made our own selections. I chose the "Big Bold and Silky" wine flight. As some who isn't a connoisseur of wines, i found it to be good, not great. Service: Be prepared for an added 20% service charge. Our Server was Mackenzie and he was great. Very knowledgeable, professional, and observant. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant. I will have to come back and try the normal menu.

Tried their summer tasting menu 1 white anchovy toast hiramasa crudo oysters: pickles for a refreshing twist 2 stracciatella: mozzarella with mushrooms and seasonal fruits (peach and plum this time). overall great 3 pork cutlet katsu: crispy, tender pork with a crunchy, mildly spicy salad dressing. the added burnt rapini are a nice touch 4 rabbit: crispy, tender rabbit with chili honey glaze, paired with whipped cambozola cheese scallops risotto 5 casarecce: rich with wagyu cheek, hazelnuts, and a hint of chili conchiglie 6 caramelia namelaka: caramel base with pineapple, maple cream, and pistachio crumbles. sweet, but a solid end to the meal

Beautiful place minutes from the Amelie Arena. We had a show to watch and came here before. The event. We had to make a reservation. Parking is tricky so make sure you leave some time to find parking, especially if event is happening. Service was very nice and attentive. We got very good service and care. Ambiance is very modern and chic. They say they are Italian fusion, but I am not sure about that. It seems more as "new American" to me. We had stracciatella (grilled mushroom and persimmon toast) and fried rabbit to start. Both dishes were unique and very tasty. For the main, I had scallops and my husband had conchiglie. Again dishes were very good, unique and flavorful. They had a great selection of wines as well as non alcoholic drinks. For the dessert we had some type of ice cream that was absolutely delicious. Overall a pretty good experience! It is pricey and plates are small, so you have to order a decent amount of dishes.

Exceptional meal at one of Ferrell Alvarez latest creations in downtown Tampa. What an incredible dining experience at Ash! From the moment we arrived, the greeting, service, and ambiance were top-notch. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, and the wine flights complemented each course beautifully. Speaking of which, every dish was exceptional, both in flavor and presentation. We ate it all and it was amazing! Maya, our server, was attentive and personable, and Chef Farrell went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable meal. Truly a five-star experience--highly recommend!

Came here for a friends birthday and it was lovely!! I loved the vibes, nice and dim interior, not too loud and not too busy. We also came on a wednesday. they had very unique dishes and i tried something i never thought i would... fried rabbit!!! the wagyu pasta was delicious and so flavorful, as well as the conchiglie. decent portions, and lots of flavor. our servers were also very knowledgeable about each of the dishes, i almost thought they made it themselves . i would definitely come back here and pay a visit to alter ego as well.

We decided to have dinner at Ash during our time at a conference. It was an easy walk from the area. We started with the fried artichokes. Very delicious. We also enjoyed the focaccia bread with olive oil and ricotta. Our server was very kind and helped us make some good decisions. The menu is somewhat limited however, all dishes are quite delicious. I enjoyed a perfect portion of pasta and a delightful Paloma. The restaurant is beautiful and service is top-notch. We also had a banana dessert and the Affogato.

My second review and some dishes were better than others. I actually enjoyed the crispy artichokes which is a must! I would order this again. I did enjoy both pasta dishes but the portions were pretty small. I was not crazy about the focaccia and the fired rabbit. It would skip it. Don't remember the name of the dessert but it was SO good. It had some cookie crumble, strawberries and ice cream. What I ordered: - Focaccia - Crispy artichokes - Fried Rabbit - Girasole 'Ravioli' - Casarecce - Strawberry dessert

Another amazing foodie experience, brought to you by the brains behind The Rooster & The Till, Ash is now open just off Water Street. We have been watching and waiting and were so excited to get a reservation at Ash. Our table decided to partake in the tasting menu and were so happy we did. The kitchen did a phenomenal job accommodating my weird ass allergies and I am forever grateful. We parked in the Cumberland Garage and took a short walk to the restaurant, tucked behind the Edison hotel. Each bite and morsel was delightfully tasty and plating was a feast for the eyes. My favorite bites were the Anchovy toast snack and the scallops, which absolutely melted in my mouth. We ordered many beverages and loved them. I got the House Martini- DIVINE. Then I got the Gibson. This drink was one of the most memorable things I've ever consumed and not for the faint of heart. But everyone at my table loved it. It was oniony and savory and just- - wow. Our server Savannah was delightful, as were the other folks who bussed and cleared and gave round after round of fresh flatware. Every fork, glass, knife and plate was impeccably clean. My only suggestion would be on the dessert. It tasted delicious. It was not visually appealing. At all. It really needed a vehicle, a tart shell, a phyllo square or a cookie or something. A blob of brown and white pile in a bowl does not a dessert make, guys. Definitely a weak finish for an otherwise phenomenal meal. Love you, though. Mean it. But, besides that blip, the meal was a smorgasbord of flavors and textures. We all left comfortably full, but not bursting. Our palates got a hell of a journey and we look forward to returning!

Reply to the business owner: the server never told us we need to get 2-3 dishes each to not still be starved at the end of the meal. We had no idea what would've been a good amount. Big disappointment and a no from us. Service was so bad, it seemed like somehow our server was trying to avoid us after introducing the menu. Food portion was so tiny that after $300 before tips we left feeling hungry still (girls and boys). Drinks are average $20 a pop, and some of the dishes were just ridiculously small like 5 pieces of fried artichoke for $20? Scallops risotto was one Scallops cut in pieces and risotto didn't even cover the surface of the small plate/bowl? On top of that parking is $15. Would not go back.

We are big fans of Rooster & Till and Ash does not disappoint. It's a very unassuming restaurant nestled in the alley street directly behind The Edition Hotel in Tampa and kitty-corner to Yard House. In terms of food, the menu is very exciting. We tried several dishes: - Red Gem Lettuces - Crispy Artichokes - Fried Rabbit - Girasole Ravioli - Flounder Francese Everything was so freaking tasty resulting in non-stop flavor explosions in our mouths. The level of freshness really shined through. I also love that the menu and food is very different than the other restaurants in Tampa. It's a welcome diversion and change-up. Despite being a new restaurant, the service was good. The staff is still getting to know the menu, but that is to be expected. I love the wine list....they have one of the best offerings of Burgundy in Tampa. The vibes are definitely more laid back than other restaurants on Water Street, which is much appreciated. Definitely check it out as well as Alter Ego next door.

We loved the vibe here, the interior architecture is gorgeous and unique. The food was good, not great. The service was quite slow. I would definitely come back for drinks and apps but I probably wouldn't stay for an entire meal again. We waited at least an hour and a half, if not two, for our main course to come out.

As big fans of Rooster and the till, we were very excited to try Ash. It's a beautiful restaurant, more laid back elegance than we expected for Water Street (but definitely a good thing since a lot of places are wayyy tooo stuffy on Water St). The entire menu sounded delicious and is seasonal. Service was great, cocktail and wine list looked amazing (couldn't partake). They also have a great mocktail list. In terms of the food, everything is shareable and fairly priced for the area/ambience. Highlight / must get: the fried rabbit stood out for us. Could have done without the blue cheese foam dip, the rabbit was perfectly fried and flavorful on its own. The pasta dishes were surprisingly a let down for us. Not very flavorful, they were good but missing umami. The ravioli dish was beautiful but tasted like puree broccoli. It was definitely missing a salty component. The ravioli shells were cooked perfectly. The panna cotta was a very unique ending since you get hints of cauliflower/white chocolate and the texture was similar to Asian soft tofu dessert (if you have ever had it). It could have used a sweeter topping since the panna cotta was silky, the grapefruit was too sour/tart and ruined the delicate panna cotta. Overall exciting ingredients but dishes need a little umami kick. Would come back to see their evolution but solid addition to water street.

Another winner from the dudes at Proper House Group! Ash is centrally located, conveniently near Amalie Arena and Water Street. Nestled behind Edition, it's the perfect spot to start a night downtown. The decor and vibes are outstanding. Hip, vibrant, and welcoming, you'll know right away that you're in the ideal spot. Simona, bartender and server, was exceptional. Made strong recommendations for drink and food. Her demeanor and attitude, along with menu knowledge, definitely enhanced our experience. We had crispy artichokes, which were spectacular. Stracchiatella provided a sublime beginning to our meal. We split the Wagyu hanger steak, cooked to a medium-rare perfection. Delicious. Many around us enjoyed the rabbit, but we weren't quite bold enough. Maybe next time! The Caramelia Namelaka was one of the best desserts we've ever had. It is a must-order. All in all, it was a phenomenal experience and we can't wait to go back! Bonus: it's right next door to the über-chic Alter Ego!

The first impression Ash gives you is a beautiful space with friendly service. However, that's not enough to keep customers coming back. The menu is extremely limited with shockingly high prices (even for the Water Street area). We were told that the suggested way of ordering was to share every dish, but not sure how that's possible when every single dish we tried was small and only offered a few bites. The final straw for us was that not a single dish had any flavor. What's the point of spending all this money on food that has no flavor? I hate to say it but for all these reasons, Ash is the worst restaurant in Tampa right now.

Great ambiance and food was 10/10 The service was also outstanding. Unique menu that works really well.

Gorgeous restaurant, the service outstanding, and a unique dining experience for Tampa. The only reason it's not five stars is because it's definitely for a refined palette and I just wanted some familiar tastes. An example would be the dirty martini that used olive oil instead of olive juice or the scallops that had a hint of something pungent and an unfamiliar flavor. We couldn't figure it out, but it was too much for us. The rigatoni was simply delicious as was the artichoke. The stracciatella and crudo were also great with complex flavors we could handle :)

me and my husband stopped by for some drinks and a appetizer before the hockey game and we loved it, the drinks were good and the staff was friendly, very modern restaurant, appealing to the eye!

Good but not great. Happy hour is a must! Prices are significantly great! Bar is fabulous. Service is best.

We had a business dinner for 3 here. The service was very well organized and helpful. The drinks were a blood orange spritz and very refreshing. The small plates and entrees were nicely prepared and had good flavors. We did not have room for desert. The ceilings in the dining room are high and there are a lot of hard surfaces in the decor so it is a bit loud when crowded.

What a lovely addition to Channelside! Can't say enough good things about Ash. First, focaccia was fire. The crispy artichokes were divine. Asparagus were delicious, just too few! For entrees, the casarecce (pasta) hit the spot. Pork chop milanese was the star of the show. I loved all the small plates because it's easy to share among the table. Atmosphere is modern and cute. If in any doubt about coming here, give it a shot, sit at the bar with a cocktail and order the focaccia!!

5 star experience here every time! Being from the same group as Rooster and the Till, I had high hopes for this place, and was not disappointed. I would recommend anything really, but the anchovy toast and beef tartare are definitely worth a trip in. Service is always excellent; the staff is welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menu. The soft colors of the interior give it a classy, but not overly formal, feel. Just beware that parking can be a problem here, as it is for any Water Street spot, so plan accordingly!

An excellent meal from the new menu at Ash with wonderful service and great chunes selected by Tampa's own DJ Casper SMOKED GIBSON FOIE GRAS - cherry mostarda, focaccia crisps SILENCIEUX, Venge Vineyards ORGANIC CHICKEN - chanterelles, marsala, roasted grapes

Last Thursday, we went to celebrate one of my friends at Ash. We had a wonderful dining experience. The place is beautifully decorated, and our server was excellent. The drinks were amazing. I selected the scallops as an appetizer. They were so tender and flavorful, and the carrots puree was so good. I didn't really care for my casarece. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. I am adding Ash to my favorite places and will definitely come back for more.

My wife and I went to Ash on a Sunday night. We found this place on TikTok when we were looking for places to eat while in Tampa. We really loved the atmosphere and the ambiance of the place. We started with the wine flight which was really good. We then ordered the fried rabbit which was good, but I felt like the portion was really small and the rabbit had more bone than meat. For a $25 appetizer I was a little disappointed. My wife ordered the Strozzapreti pasta and I ordered the Ribeye. My wife liked her pasta but felt that the portion size was small and did not have much meat in it. My ribeye was absolutely amazing and was a lot of food. This was great because my wife was still hungry after her pasta so I gave her some of my steak. The potatoes it came with were really good, especially with the cream sauce that came with it. Our server was very attentive and everyone in the restaurant was really nice and were constantly checking on us even when our waiter wasn't there. The restaurant closed at 9, but we probably didn't leave until 9:30 due to us still eating our food. Our server never rushed us and neither did any of the staff even though we could see they were cleaning up. We were even offered desert which was amazing. We ordered the Marzipan Sundae and it was absolutely delicious.Overall it was a great experience and we would definitely come back.

We tried Ash recently for dinner. We were seated at our table right away. I loved how sweet and welcoming the hostesses were that evening. Elijah was our server, and he did an excellent job! He described the different menu options and shared his favorites. Our food came out promptly and each dish was a beautiful presentation! My only suggestion is that the Spritz my friend and I ordered was overpowered by the Aperol. You couldn't taste anything else in the cocktail, and I love Aperol Spritzes. We asked to add more Prosecco to help the drink, and he was upfront and told us he would have to charge for it. I would have loved to be offered another drink suggestion or a replacement. So please keep that in mind if you don't like your cocktail.

Wow, what an incredible experience, beautiful surroundings. The staff is so attentive, and the food and wine choices are delicious. I loved all the recommendations from the orange wine. I've never had to the Sherry that they recommended Wow, what an incredible experience, beautiful surroundings. The staff is so attentive, and the food and wine choices are delicious.

Stopped in without a reservation on a weekend and was seated quickly. The bar staff was very attentive and recommended drinks based on everyone's palates. The inside was so cute definitely a good spot for date night. I don't have any food but I look coward to returning to try in the future.

If you are wanting to try ash I would recommend skipping. I am a big rooster & the till fan so had high expectations and they just fell flat. From start to finish it was just not an enjoyable experience. If you aren't a downtown Tampa local I think you would have a hard time finding this spot. It is tucked behind the edition with no real signage. Starting with the ambiance the outdoor seating felt last minute and thrown together. When you walk in at first glance the restaurant seems cute and trendy but after taking it all there are too many textures and details that aren't well executed. The menu looked absolutely delicious and we were excited to start our night. The wine list had good offerings and if I were you I would stick to wine. The cocktails were extremely small you would need at least 2 for the size of a regular one. We decided to start with the focaccia, artichokes, and fried rabbit. The focaccia came out first and I really enjoyed it. It was paired with a ricotta dip which balanced out the saltiness of the bread. That's where the enjoyment stopped. Next came the fried rabbit and we spent the next 10 minutes eating the fried coating before we hit the small amount of rabbit meat that was provided. The artichokes came and tasted burnt and bland. The table next to us asked our opinion and after we shared they let us know they completely agreed and were not satisfied. After hearing this we decided to pass on choosing an entree and got the check. The night ended with feeling like I ate more grease than anything else. Hopefully the team can work out the kinks but for now I will not be returning.

I was finally able to experience Ash on my Birthday this year. My friends planned a dinner and, unbeknownst to any of us, we got seated at the chef's table for our reservation. Service was top tier from our server and the head chef who was expediting all of the kitchen operations in front of us. The Spritz off of the cocktail menu was my favorite beverage on my visit and was very refreshing and paired well with all of the items we tried. We ended up trying a majority of the menu and shared with the table so we could enjoy all of the various options. The Fried Rabbit, Conchigle, and Casarecce were the top items that I tried on the menu. Desserts are also a win here, and the Marzipan Sundae and Caramelia 'Namelaka' were to die for. After this visit, I think I've found one of the best dining experiences I've had in the Tampa Bay Area.

Food and Service were 5 star worthy. Staff were all very knowledgeable about the menu and gave amazing recommendations. We had the focaccia, scallops, ravioli, and crispy artichokes. They were all so good! The focaccia was fragrant and paired nicely with the whipped ricotta. The SCALLOPS! Melted in your mouth like butter! The risotto was so flavorful and the best part of our dinner. Once appetizer were done staff came cleaned the table removed silverware and brought us a whole new set. Service was consistent. Great experience.

Had an amazing early dinner here. The sun was coming through the windows and it was a beautiful restaurant. We ordered a bread, 3 apps, and 2 entrees between the 3 of us and had leftovers (total came out to be a little over $200). The fried rabbit was hands down the best dish we got, the celery dip tasted like a whipped ranch with celery. It was fried perfectly. The triple tail was a close second, the yuzu might be a little off putting if you don't enjoy citrus but I loved it. The fish was super fresh and cooked great. The artichokes were probably my least favorite. The flavor was pretty average and the artichokes were charred pretty hard. Drinks and service were good! We had a bit more trouble flagging down a server towards the end of dinner and weren't asked if we wanted another drink. But they constantly switched out our plates and napkins and kept our water full. Overall a super great experience!!
