Ash - (Near Tampa, FL)

5 /5 haley sass: I cannot express how excellent this meal was. The flavors were so unique; I’ll definitely be back soon to try more dishes! We had the boquerones (anchovies), rabbit, beef cheek pasta, and shrimp scampi (more of a bbq shrimp style). The service was great as well.

5 /5 Vanja M: I literally can’t say enough good things about this amazing place. Everyone there is always in such a great mood. You can tell the owners/chef have a very close and great relationship with the staff. The food is absolutely amazing. I personally LOVE the sort of al la carte tasting menu if you will. I love exploring and finding new dishes that I’ve never tried before. I love that I have the opportunity to challenge my taste buds and Chef Alvarez does exactly just that. The service here is 5 star through and through. Thank you very much Ash.

5 /5 Scott Rothstein: 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.

5 /5 Jodi Revalee: If you’re looking for a perfect night in Tampa, it starts at Ash. The vibe, the atmosphere, the food, and the staff were all absolute perfection. This is one of those places where you can feel how much time, effort, and passion went into making it what it is. I honestly can’t brag enough. The food was fantastic from start to finish. We kicked things off with the Oysters (literally listed as “Oysters” on the menu) and wow… 10/10. If you’ve never been an oyster person, you will be after this. They were fresh, briny, and perfectly dressed – an instant favorite. Then came the fried rabbit, and let me tell you — unbelievable. I would go back for that dish alone. The way they took a protein like rabbit and turned it into something so flavorful, so crispy, and so memorable blew my mind. Add the hot honey and it became next-level. This is a dish I recommend 100% without hesitation. From there, we moved on to the pork and pasta, and again, absolutely incredible. The pork was tender and flavorful, perfectly paired with the feta, and the pasta was rich and comforting without being heavy. Every bite felt like it was crafted with intention. Ash is one of those rare spots where everything hits. From the drinks to the food to the service (shoutout to Taylor, who crushed it all night), it’s a full experience, not just dinner. Tampa needed this, and I’m already counting down the days until I can go back. The staff was absolutely amazing. I can’t give enough stars. Amazing.
