    I ordered the Split Pea Soup with Bacon and Irish Soda Bread. Although the soup was excellent, the bread was so hard that I could only eat the top portion, which was served as a muffin. My fellow diner ordered the Corned Beef and Cabbage. Although she said that the beef, potatoes, and carrots were very good, the cabbage, which was served in a wedge, was not cooked enough to actually eat. When my companion informed the server of the problem with the cabbage, the cost of her meal was comped. Our Smith Island Cake was barely on this side of still frozen although it did finish thawing quickly at the table. Excellent service!!! From the moment we entered until we left, excellent service.

    Great Ambiance! Went there for Sunday Brunch. We were immediately seated, and server came over promptly. I had the Salmon Benedict with the gouda grits. Eggs were poached PERFECTLY. Gouda grits---decent but jury still out on that one---would prefer the regular cheesy grits---not bad---just different. My friend had the pancakes and turkey sausage which I tried----turkey links were cold---but she didn't want to complain. Pancakes (banana foster style with strawberries) were decent--and HUGE. Pancakes without the banana or strawberries or thinly poured syrup (she had to ask for more) did not have a lot of flavor by themselves. Overall, I LUV this place! I will be back, its not perfect, but not sure many places are. They have a nice bar, and the ambiance sets it off!

    Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the ambiance and had a great brunch with us. It’s awesome to hear your eggs were poached perfectly, and we appreciate your honest feedback on the Gouda grits and pancakes. We’ll definitely pass along the note about the turkey links and syrup to our team. I am not sure why this would have happened. Look forward to having you back and perfecting our mistakes so you CAN call us PERFECT next time ;)

    I have tried to get my husband to try this place for years. Finally was able to get him here and it was lovely. Our server was lovely and attentive and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Our meal was decent but the French Onion Soup was warm not hot and the wings were over cooked, dry. Our entrees was tasty and hot but dessert was a bit disappointing, not enough apple to go with the cobbler.

    Thanks so much for giving us a try (and for finally convincing your husband! 😉)! We're so happy you enjoyed the atmosphere and service, and we appreciate your honest feedback on the meal. We deeply apologize the food was not up to par. We would love to make it right. We will reach out to you privately.

    Despite the fact that I was allowed to make this reservation, the restaurant was not open. It did not open until noon, four hours after the time of my reservation.
    Ashling Kitchen & BarResponded on March 3, 2025
    We sincerely apologize for the mix-up with your reservation. We hate to see you left a 1 star review because of it which does not accurately reflect the service and experience you could have had with us... Unfortunately, there was a system malfunction that caused OpenTable to incorrectly allow reservations outside of our normal hours. Our actual hours of operation are always posted online, on OpenTable, on our website, and at our door, but we completely understand how frustrating this must have been. We truly appreciate your patience and hope you’ll give us another chance to welcome you when we’re open. If you’d like, we’d be happy to help you book a new reservation at a time that works for you. Please let us know, and again, we’re very sorry for the inconvenience.
