    With reservations, we waited less than 5 minutes. We were lucky to get Monalisa as our waitress as she was amazingly fast and helpful, and our Chef Luis was so fun and was joking around with everyone at the table, but especially with my son. It was a great experience that was significantly different than our experience on Valentines Day. This was a huge turn around from that and it was such a much nicer time. This was definitely the kind of experience we hope we will always get every visit.

    ASA’s food is consistently exceptional and probably my favorite place to eat for a nice night out. The ambience is sophisticated, yet still warm and cozy. Sometimes it can be a bit too loud, but the service is friendly and the food is stellar!!!

    We had the 4-course tasting menu, and it was fantastic! The meal left us full and satisfied. The cocktails—Project G, Cosmopolitan, and Calm Seas—were phenomenal, with smooth textures, great mouthfeel, and complex flavors. The service was exceptional and truly elevated the experience! We enjoyed the Kona Kanpachi Crudo, Lobster Ravioli with Black Truffle, Basque Cheesecake, and Paris-Brest. Already looking forward to our next visit to The Plumed Horse!
