I called to book for a table and was informed they were fully booked. I then decided to book online for the same time slot and surprisingly was able to book a table. We ordered a strawberry milkshake which never turned up. We waited approximately 20 mins for the main course. Sea bass was average. The dessert (chocolate amore) sort... More

We are regulars at ASK Amersham. The reason is simple. Staff, food, ambience, management (though Chris needs to smile more sometimes). If Ask could run all its chains like this, they would put Pizza Express, Zizzis, Prezzo and all the other chains out of business. The food is nearly always perfect, but on the very rare occasion it isn't, stop... More

Although fairly serious foodies, for this evening we needed somewhere sensibly priced to take our un-discerning kids back from uni for the weekend. Having not been to a "chain" restaurant for years we went with pretty low expectations. However we were frankly gobsmacked that somewhere like this could serve such really excellent food and wine, properly served and well-presented, for... More

We visited as a party of 3. Food was very good Service was excellent. We made the waiter aware we only had an hour to eat. He told the chef, and the food was brought out very soon. No complaints at all. Would recommend

The room is attractive, the service is friendly if a little slow but the food varied between adequate and appalling. Overall the food was presented in an unappealing way, and in particular the starter of calamari was truly appalling; dry, shriveled, tasteless. It should never have been served.

ASK is one of our favourite restaurant chains as the prices are very reasonable. ASK Amersham food is excellent along with very good customer service.

The food was lackluster, there's a Prezzo down the road and I'd recommend it over this place any time. The food was just such poor quality, greasy, tasteless. However my girlfriends main did come with brown pasta which was a surprising twist! My ravioli was stuffed with quite poor quality fish paste type stuff, not very appetising! One to avoid.

Went here late last Friday night and found it to be a pleasant surprise. Building is an old pub (The Griffin) and the staff were very polite and friendly and although not all items on the menu were available as it was after 10 pm there was still plenty to enjoy. Each of our pasta dishes were delightful and the... More

If you are looking for excellent service ask to be served by Ellie. You won't be disappointed. She made out experience excellent. So thank you very much. Even if I was a little rude. Food is awesome as always and the voucher codes made it very good value for money. Highly recommend
