Rude bartenders. Did not even offer a drink menu, which they do have. Would have ordered more if I had known the price and it didn't feel like they were being put out by serving me. 3 people at bar with two Bartenders. Had reservations for tomorrow night to eat but will be canceling those. The AC clearly needs attention. Set to 68 but it was 76 inside, at 9:30 PM. Has great potential but the food and staff just did not look the part ***UPDATE: Did actually go for dinner. If I could give 0 stars I would. At least we got a menu this time. The shrimp were not deveined. I DID NOT ORDER SHRIMP POOP. The "loaded" potato had no butter or sour cream. Green beans steamed in bag from grocery if I could guess. Our food died at the pass. read more

I don't get to see my fiancé often because he travels for work, so I came from Michigan to Ashland, Kentucky to spend some time with him. We were really looking forward to a nice dinner out together, but unfortunately, our experience here was very disappointing. We were at the restaurant for two hours and still hadn't been able to order dinner. We started in the dining area, but our server, Amanda, wasn't very friendly or attentive, so we decided to move to the bar. The bartender was incredibly kind and doing her best, but she seemed overwhelmed by how busy it was. With some extra support--like a barback--she could have provided an even better experience. At that point, though, after waiting so long, we were just ready to grab something quick and head out. Sadly, we won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this spot to others based on our visit. read more

We had an 830 Reservation. Arrived at 8. Were sat at 930. 45 min to get our app (deviled eggs) that came out and tasted awful and 1 bar drink. Salads arrived after entrees another 45 min later. Rib eye was the worst steak I've had in recent memory. With the wait we even offered to just place our order to-go. They told us no - they couldn't handle it in the kitchen. There was no plan at the front of the house to deal with this. No offer for accommodation on any level even water or direction of where to wait or how to be called. They were literally walking through the hotel yelling names. This was not our first time here. It is usually better. But it might be they can't handle high volume nights - or have had changes in the kitchen. But it will be a long time before we consider going back. read more

We came in for a late lunch and the restaurant was empty, very quiet with some music playing in the background. This was our first time here so hoped that it was just time of day. It's located in a hotel but easily identified. We ordered: Bourbon bruschetta Quesadilla Naan chicken sandwich with fries All of the food was good and would consider ordering again. Andre was our server and was pleasant and friendly. Great service. Missed pics of sandwiches but including appetizer. read more

I was very shocked and surprised how good this place was. I got a rare cooked ribeye and it turned out absolutely perfect. The sides were also great, I got green beans and corn with the ribeye. We got crab nachos for the appetizer and it was fantastic, I would get again (although it's more a dip than nachos). My boyfriend got the filet with blue cheese and it was also really good. read more

The ambience is debatable and the food is so so, I found it to be noisy and really not worth the price, however the staff is incredible.

Very disappointed for the Easter buffet! As soon as we were being seated you could tell that the AC was not working. The food was good but we hurried to eat so we could leave. We noticed that the AC was working where the buffet was being served. And behind the buffet there were open rooms where it was cool and the staff were eating. Why weren't these rooms used for the customers or why wasn't a discount given? This wasn't quite the way I wanted to spend my Easter. I called the day after Easter and spoke with the GM, Crystal. She couldn't have been any kinder or apologetic. She insisted on sending coupons and I truly appreciate her professionalism and kindness. read more

Tried to do 2 different meals here while I was in the area for a business trip Evening meal - midweek. The restaurant was slow, I was greeted and seated pretty quickly, and I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. After the waitress had refilled my drink twice, she said she would check to see where my salad was... a couple of minutes later, she stops by with a salad: "Oh, this isn't yours. Yours should be coming soon" as she leave the restaurant to take the salad to the bar outside the restaurant. 25 minutes into the visit, she comes by with my salad "they were having problems with your chicken". Next time I saw here was with the check "I'm guessing you don't want desert" (no drink off the bill, no other apologies) This is not the service I expect at a steak house Breakfast - get down to the restaurant about 7:30 AM, no customers, no waitstaff, no kitchen help. I double check their front, this is the breakfast place for the hotel. I took a seat and waited - about 10 minutes later a waitress comes out "Oh i didn't know there was anyone out here". I tell her I'm now in a bit of a rush and I place an order. While I am waiting another person comes in looking for breakfast, I explained my experience so far and he starts back towards the kitchen, calling out "hello" - he comes back "well i think the cook was just walking out, but there is no one back there" Over all, if you don't have a minimum of an hour to wait, this is not the place for you I can not see visiting it again under any circumstances read more

Excellent service amazing food!! The ambiance was so nice with fire pits on the patio. read more

Made a mistake on a business and booked the wrong Delta hotel but I'm glad I did. This hotel is nice with great rooms and many spacious and comfortable common areas. I really liked the restaurant with good food. I like their sliders and the filet mignon medallion from the list of appetizers. But most importantly, they have bourbon (well it's in KY) a lot of bourbon. I had a rating flight as I'm not a connaisseur. Their breakfast is not great. They also encourage a local bakery (as they should) but I was not impressed by the cakes. Anyhow, it's a very nice bar and restaurant for an hotel located in an isolated area. read more

Great food at the Winchester. I stayed at the Delta Marriott where the Winchester is located. They have a nice dining room. You can sit at a high top table or a regular type table. The wait staff were all excellent. Very attentive and super nice. Because I was alone I ate there both nights. I was not disappointed. Both meals were excellent. They brought out a few hush puppies that were so tasty. Then the bottomless salad followed by my meal. They had great options for dessert but I was too full. I recommend this restaurant when you visit the area. It's very good, they treat you great, and they are priced fairly. read more

Tuesday night Birthday dinner with friends. Arrived 10 minutes before our reservation. Seated immediately. Ordered our drinks, appetizers and salads. One salad they forgot the dressing. The other salad had minimal dressing. Waited probably 10 minutes before asking again for dressing. Cheese curds and the crab ragoon were both really good. Didnt get refills on drinks until the entrees came. Long wait for the entrees. Out of 4 entrees only one was hot. The otbers were just warm. The filet medallions were dry. Rice seemed old, chicken franscene was not that good. The filet au poivre was dry. The My boy blue was good and hot. Almost a two hour sit down with little service. Just not good on a tuesday evidently. Had heard good reviews. read more

Great little restaurant in the heart of downtown Ashland! It's located inside the Hotel but not hard to find. We were seated quickly by very friendly staff. They showed us a pretty nice lunch menu and we decided to try their steaks. They also have great cocktails! The whole meal was pretty inexpensive, tasty, and a good experience overall. Id definitely recommend when visiting Ashland. read more

Ambience: youthful fun environment. Good background music. There's a bar area, lounge, patio dining, and indoor dining restaurant. Good lighting. Service: the server was absolutely fantastic. Juan was really personable with our group. The hostess were also friendly. Saturday night is busy time so recommend making a reservation! I had a reservation at 830pm and was seated at 845pm (we enjoyed beverages from the bar in the meantime). Food and drink quality: delicious! The food presentation was great and the quality was good. The drinks were the highlight of the show- spicy mule and bourbon drinks were fantastic! Price: absolutely reasonable read more

I am not impressed with the food, especially for the price that was paid. We ordered two filets, both to be medium rare, a kids meal, and a cheesesteak sandwich. One of the filets was medium at best, but was good despite it being cooked wrong. The second filet was well done and really tough. They did remake it for us, which we were grateful for. I didn't expect them to deduct anything from our bill because we still received our filet. The kids meal, Mac and cheese and french fries, was a let down. Being in such a high end and pricey restaurant, I didn't expect them to bring out Kraft Mac and cheese. And it wasn't even good. Our waiter, Andrais, was really nice and tentative to our needs. He was understanding and polite about our food being cooked wrong, as well as apologetic. read more

My friend and I went out and our first impression was this place is so fancy. They do have some menú affordable if don't want spending $20-30 dollar. We got lunch menu $10 from 12 to 4pm Their food are really good. Big portions and taste excellent. Our waitress was amazing and sweet. They keep this restaurant very clean and well organized. Very impressive and will be coming back again read more

Man I was so happy with the food and the service here! Our waiter, Eli, was the best! And the crab Rangoon's are the best I have ever had. Hit the tuna and filet medallions and it was great! This hotel and restaurant are the best! This is where I will stay and eat going forward! And the Luca hit the spot! read more

Over priced dry hush puppies. Service was okay. But definitely not worth the trip for a " fancy " meal over priced dry food. Lots of nasty stares if you have a child with you and they are even the slightest bit fussy read more

We had a really great Dinner at The Winchester the evening of the 8th. The morning of the 9th my Cousin and I went there for breakfast. Breakfast looked great and I ate mine. Bacon Scrambled Eggs and Toast. My cousin ordered Biscuits and Gravy with Eggs and Hash browns. She started eating her meal and found a hair under her hash browns. She was done. Finding the hair she lost her appetite. They ended up taking her meal off the bill and comping mine. We ended up at McDonald's for her breakfast. read more

Went to this beautiful establishment for my granddaughter's graduation. Because of the recent reviews, we decided to take her there for graduation dinner we were seated .The Restaurant was empty at 8pm for graduation night, which we found it kind of strange. The server she was very nice. She took our order for drinks and when we ordered a piña colada, they did not have a blender so then I asked her if I can have a Mojito didn't have any mints. We ordered two dozen oysters. they were very dry, which was a huge disappointment because we know what good oysters taste like. We placed our order which was surf and turf for the table. My husband started to order., he ordered some asparagus with his steak. She said they didn't have any asparagus. They were out, he looked at her and said, of course you are. When our dinner arrived, the guest of honor, which was my granddaughter, the graduate her steak looked more like a chicken very overcooked when she had asked for a medium rare Steak.The lobster was a disappointment as well. The steaks were all very salty. My steak was barely warm my daughter-in-law's meal. Her rice was cold.The whole meal was a complete disappointment, and I was truly embarrassed for taking my granddaughter there on her special night I do not take pleasure in leaving a bad review, but I really hope that this establishment takes note and does better with that being said I felt really sad for the waitress who was taking our order because the servers are the ones that represent this establishment and she did very well although the establishment failed her, but our son made sure that her tip did not reflect our disappointment in the establishment. read more

After being open several years I just ate here for the first time. The restaurant is really nice inside and looked very clean and modern. I met friends for dinner, we had reservations so we didn't have any wait time to be seated which was nice. Our server was with us within a few minutes taking our drink orders and answering a few questions about the menu. We placed our orders and received some appetizers fairly quickly. Our entrees were a different story though, it took almost an hour to get our food. While there were several occupied tables I wouldn't say they were especially busy. We did have a party of ten but everyone ordered items on the menu without any changes at all. Two members of our party were brought something completely different than what they ordered, the server promptly took them back and said he would bring them what they ordered, by the time they got their food everyone was nearly finished with their meals. My food was good and prepared as I ordered it but it was luke warm at best when I got it. Everyone at the table seemed to have the same problem. Taste wise my food was good and had it been hot I probably would have really enjoyed what I ordered. We were at the table for nearly two hours and during that time management didn't stop by to check on whether we were happy with our meals and service. The two members of our party that had been served the wrong meals weren't comped or offered any sort of extras, which I felt they should have been taken care of in some way. Our server was good as far as taking care of us but didn't offer any explanation for why our friend's food was wrong. I felt the menu was a little pricey even though the food was okay. This is probably not somewhere that I will ever go back to. read more

Server and kitchen manager delivered excellent customer service. As one person in our party has an extreme allergic reaction to a particular food, we conveyed this information to our server. She in turn, checked with the kitchen manager who came to our table to verify that our order would not trigger any reaction. In our experience, most establishments do not check with the kitchen manager as to what ingredients are in the prepared dishes. We were very grateful for the thoroughness of our server and the kitchen manager. read more

Easter buffet was terrible! Left over, over cooked prime rib, well done. I prefer rare. Fish was also overcooked. Broccoli also overcooked. We had coffee but were never offered a refill. read more

Good food, good service. It could be great with a few changes. The kitchen prepares meat to Med. When ordered MRare. Server never asked how our food was. So we didn't return it. We were in a rush to get some sleep and wouldn't have requested a new one anyway. The house old fashioned had cloves. Neither of us drank ours. Even though my girlfriend had hers replaced, no one asked about mine. I didn't come close to drinking it. Like I said service was good. Super helpful truly caring servers. Really the management should have a better training program. I'll come back again. Could have just been an off night compared to others I have had here. read more

It's the food. Great bar and incredible selection of bourbon. Being from SC this was a huge plus especially the prices being so reasonable. The food however was a different situation. First night I had the tuna with saffron rice and green beans. The rice was cold and crunchy in spots like it was fried rice that got over fried. The tuna taste from frozen and was cold and tough covered in a ton of wasabi cream. Night two ordered the Caesar salad with blackened salmon. Came out with blackened shrimp. The only problem with the salad at that point was that there were pieces of stalk bottom in it. Since it was an error the bartender brought me the salmon. It was freezer burned and I couldn't eat it. Luckily this was a work trip. Had it been on my own dime I would have to have sent it all back each time. read more

Great food! Fast service! I recommend this restaurant for any occasion! I had lunch here, and the food was cooked to order, then had dinner here on a separate date, and the service was remarkable. read more

You don't have to be a guest at the Delta to enjoy the Winchester (note no THE Winchester pretentious Ohio State people). Absolutely must start with a bourbon slushy - hands down best thing on the menu. Their steaks and seafood are top shelf - but this is Ky and you need some bourbon in your life. Bottomless house salad is full of legitimate bacon. Don't bother with the cheesy crab appetizer- the crab ratio is like Shorty and low low low low. Service is great! Post Covid masks, gloves and sanitizing the menus after every use - safe place to eat and booze. read more

The Winchester - The bourbon slushy! - Seafood Near Me - Ashland, Kentucky

A fresh Cobb salad, a glass of Cabernet and an efficient and friendly server is perfect for treating yourself to lunch. I have been wanting to try this place, so today is a good day to treat myself. I had heard it was expensive, but in reality it is comparable to chain restaurants in the area, except more relaxing. If you are wondering why I gave only 4 stars, it's because I thought the wait time was a little long for just one person and I could see little tables, but it may have just been a little bit of an understaffing problem. It was definitely worth the wait. Whether staying in the hotel or just passing by, I suggest you also try this place. read more

This place was great! I have to admit, any time I see a hotel restaurant, I'm skeptical. It seems as though every single one of them have the same overpriced crappy food. This place however was great! It's possibly the best restaurant in Ashland. I was blown away by how amazing my steak was. Super tender and cooked perfectly. They Sous Vide the meat and it comes out ultra tender. The prices were in the high side but if you want a great meal, you have to pay for it. They have the coolest menus I've ever seen. They are lighted so you can always see them great. This is the first time I've seen such a thing. Their menu is also extensive with a ton of options. They have a nice drink selection too. This selection includes Pappy van winkle. It's extremely overpriced so don't go here for your Pappy fix. All in all, I would DEFINITELY go back and plan to if I'm ever back in Ashland. read more

This is by far the nicest eatery in the Ashland area. Definitely much needed upscale dining with their featured cuisine being steak. The Winchester salad is so fresh and delicious. I can't get enough of the fried hush puppy/corn fritter complimentary apps with the sweet butter. I recently hosted a small birthday dinner in the private room. It was a beautiful space and the wait staff was so accommodating. I highly recommend using the Winchester for any of your celebratory dinners. 4 stars because the steak can be hit or miss. They aren't very consistent with the cooks of their meat. I have had medium well steaks from the Winchester that look rare all the way to charcoal. Be careful with your meat and be warned that you may need to be very specific when ordering about the amount of pink you desire. read more

Great service by Trinity. It was prom night and we still had our food on time and she gave us great service. Food was excellent...

We were pleased with our dinner, service, and experience. We ordered the ahi tuna appetizer and it was good. For our meals, we ordered the chicken piccata and the surf & turf (steak and scallops). We were happy with both. Piccata had a good flavor and the chicken was juicy. The steak was cooked as ordered and the scallops were cooked great also. The rice under the scallops was amazing- could have eaten way more of that! We did not get dessert as we didn't have enough room! The restaurant wasn't packed so I can't leave review on service while busy but our service was prompt and food was fast too come out. We would definitely come back. read more

My girlfriends and I had our Christmas dinner gathering at The Winchester. The food was very good, service by Nathan was excellent and the drinks too. This is a steak and seafood house, so we ordered accordingly. Filet was perfectly prepared, tender. Fish was delicious and everything served hot. We chose martinis over bourbon, that caused a delay but they were ok. Highly recommend the peanut butter brownie cheesecake. It was divine. Will definitely return. read more
