    Met up with some friends and new acquaintances for dinner and had a blast. The atmosphere is good for families and dates. The atmosphere is warm and they still had the Christmas decor up ( that made me laugh). I ordered the steak frites medium with an acoustic bliss cocktail. The food was delicious. Others ordered chicken wings, short ribs ( very tender and flavorful) and the chicken and waffles ( NOT a small plate). We had Jessica as our server and she was great. She was patient with our chatter and indecisiveness ( thanks for that). Good food, good people, good time.

    The service was excellent. Food was delicious. The service here was excellent and very attentive. Great place to visit during lunch. Many food options. I wish they were closer, will be visiting again. The ambience is great for family, kids, or just friends.

    Visited here on a Saturday around 3pm and thankfully wasn't crowded at all and was able to make reservations 30 minutes before getting there. The space is cute gives me like chill lounge vibes but not a lounge, if that makes sense (I think it's the dark furnishings) Once we got seated we started off with the crab artichoke dip which had a side of bread, which was an 8/10 for me. We then tried two drinks, the Ashling and the Raspberry Bellini, both were delicious. For our main entrees we had the southern chicken sandwich, tempo tacos with grilled shrimp, short ribs, and the ashling cheeseburger. All were good and no complaints. The fries that came with the burger and chicken sandwich were fresh and so good, love how they do their fries. We finished our lunch off with the banana pudding and the beignets, which were delicious. The star of the visit was our waitress she was so sweet, quick, and just on top of it. A solid place to visit when you want a good bite to eat without dealing with crowds.

    We dined here on 3/5 for my daughter's birthday. It was a quiet weekday evening and the service was great. We ordered wings, calamari, steak frites, chicken and waffles, and Rasta pasta. Everyone enjoyed their meal. It was a decent night out.

    Crab dip is still good. The description for the gumbo sounded great but the flavor was off. I never had gumbo that tased like that. It was as if the gumbo sauce was an African stew of some sort. I got to New Orleans a lot and never had gumbo with that flavor. It was also very salty. The actually toppings were nice but the sauce is the star of the show and she didn't shine. Really wish they had their African around the world tour menu again because the snapper was excellent. I'm open to different cuisines this gumbo was just a Miss

    Ashling is a funny restaurant, because it's so much cuter than what you think you're walking into from the parking lot lol. Once you enter, this spot is the cutest! A good location for girls night, date night, solo night just to be at the bar, etc. No matter where you sit, you are in thee seat! Their food is great too! My table of 2 had the calamari, wings, and French onion soup and let me tell you... for ME, the soup stole the show! Now that I know how it is on the inside lol, I wouldn't mind returning for a solo trip at the bar.

    I've heard good things about Ashling from a friend and have been trying to get there for a while. I finally made it and I was pleased. The service was great: very friendly and fast. I loved the interior decor and the layout of the restaurant. The food was pretty great too. The wings were delicious. We ordered the Old Bay and the Sweet Thai Chili. Both were tasty. The service Breakfast Burrito was a solid option as well. I requested Breakfast potatoes instead of French fries, which is what originally came with it. My friend ordered the Chesapeake southwest omelet and I sampled some of it. We both agreed that it was just ok. It wasn't bad but it lacked a bit of flavor. Overall, it's a good restaurant and I would be willing to go back and try more dishes.

    We recently dined at Ashling with a group of friends (6 people). We went in with high hopes after seeing the reviews and decor photos, but that was quickly overshadowed. We had a reservation and were sat quickly upon arriving. Our serve introduced herself and we order our drinks, 3 cocktails, a soda, and waters. About ten minutes went by and our serve came back to inform us that they didn't have the ingredients for one of the holiday drinks, no big deal, ordered a different drink and appetizers. All of our appetizers come out within about ten minutes. Still no drinks from the bar, the soda, or waters. About 30 minutes in we get all of the drinks. We watched the bartenders serve a couple rounds to bar guests in this amount of time. We chalked it up as a busy time, because the restaurant was fairly full but not slammed by any means. We eventually get to order and the food comes out, typical small issues but nothing to worry about. Quality of the food was good so that was a plus. During the meal, all of our glasses were empty for a majority of it and we asked to get refills, which our server eventually brought us. We finished eating and were waiting to order desserts. During that time one of our guests went to the bathroom and our server was standing just inside the kitchen texting, which explained why we hadn't seen her. We get to order desserts and they come out quickly, again quality was great! We all finish and our group wanted to order another drink before we departed. Our server couldn't be found. We end up deciding not to order more drinks at this point because we had already been there for 2 and a half hours between waiting for different things. We finally see our server so one of our guests went and asked her for our checks. About ten minutes goes by and still no checks, we went and asked a second time for our checks and finally get them. We knew based on our party being 6 or more that the charge 18% gratuity that it would be on the check. Our group has all wires in the service industry and typically tip well above 25%. Based on the servers actions, she knew she was getting the 18% from us so she didn't care about giving us good service. A dinner that was in excess of 2 and a half hours because of the service was shocking to say the least. Very doubtful that we will recommend this restaurant to anyone or dine her again.

    Easy 5 stars! This hidden gem was amazing! The hostess smoke as you walk through the door and you're seated quickly- we had a reservation. The server was very nice and mended our entire order- and didn't miss anything.... Impressive! Especially on a very busy Father's Day event! The food was- soooooo delicious! I loved my dish and the portions are great. I was stuffed so I shared with babe! I also had some of Sharon's waffle- just a bite.. it was soft and scrumptious! My burrito was the highlight of the show! I had a few customizations chicken instead of whatever other meat because we you guys one I don't eat beef or pork! All in all... we will be back!! This was truly a gem!!

    I had the roasted Duck, which had to send back due to the Duck being overcooked. When it came back it was cooked perfect. The overall flavor of the dish was really good. The portion size was plentiful. The service was good and it was a really nice environment. I will return.

We walked in and felt welcomed immediately. The restaurant is unassuming from the exterior but when you walk in, you're in for a treat. We decided to sit at the bar, and it was just the vibe we needed. Low-key but friendly. Drinks: We arrived at the tail end of happy hour, which is two dollars off select drinks. We got two glasses of wine. Food: My husband got a Caesar salad and I got a house salad for starters. They were both good. I ordered the bacon and crab pasta, which was hearty. My husband got the salmon, which he also enjoyed. It's definitely a cute date spot or place to eat with the family. There's something for everyone.

Admittedly, the first time I visited Allison's, I didn't have high hopes - I originally wanted to go next door to Mamma (Nonna) Angela's for my Italian craving, but the group I was with was adamant about coming here instead. Well, I'm glad they did, because everything I had here was five stars and then some! From the bread, pasta, steak to the seafood, everything that graced my pretty little lips here was delicious (and served in huge portions)! I've now been to Allison's three times, and every time I come back, the offerings seem to get even better. I also appreciate how cheap the drinks here are - under $10 for a glass of wine outside of happy hour? Sign me up please! But seriously though, if you're looking for a solid spot to grab some yummy Italian (and American) fare while on your way to Waugh Chapel to go shopping, I definitely recommend Allison's Restaurant.

When I walked in, there was a very strong sewer-like smell inside the restaurant. I remembered noticing it before, but this time it was really noticeable.

Several people around the bar were talking about it, and even the bartender mentioned that the smell sometimes gives her a headache. Despite that, I decided to stay and order food. I got a grapefruit crush, fish tacos, sweet chili wings, and the peel-and-eat shrimp. Everything was actually really good and flavorful. The food and drinks definitely delivered. Fatboy's is a great addition to the Bowie/Crofton area and I enjoy the menu and happy hour vibe.
