Don't go with expectations

I've been there many many times. The food is better than average but portions are small and over-all things can add up to a large check. The GM. or so he states he is needs a lesson in manners. I've experienced him first hand being rude and dismissive when I had a problem at the restaurant. With that said I WON"T GO BACK, and that's after being a loyal guest...Make the drive and go to Boston or D'Bar.

The idea that this is supposed to be a friendly neighborhood restaurant is an absolute joke. The service is rude from beginning to end. The food is mediocre and over priced. We had a bad experience with a...

We were excited it finally opened and went in the 2nd or 3rd week it was opened. Service was beyond POOR. They couldn't/wouldn't accommodate (after a 1hour + wait) a request for a salad without cheese on it....

The food is overpriced, skimpy in portion and the staff is so rude and/or unimformed about the menu, it makes you wonder why you went out in the first place. They should stop patting themselves on the back...

The quality of the food was good. Unfortunately the value was not. The prices are too high and the portions are too small. A $145 bill for three people (before tip) was much higher than the food warranted. If...

We dined at the Ashmont Grill once. It was passable. The review by the poster MRJ below makes me think that employees of the restaurant are posting here though. A bit over the top. The Ashmont Grille WAS a...

This place has a ton of potential, but still has a lot of kinks to work out. The outdoor patio with the firepit is nice, as long as you don't mind smelling like you were at a campfire by the end of the night....
