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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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!

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.
