    We enjoyed our round table for 8 and were in a great spot in the restaurant. Regan was our waiter and she was fun and efficient too.

    This was a great place for the 7 of us. Spacious, well-appointed, farm to table, with excellent service. The food was all excellent in taste. The beef tartar and the a grilled asparagus appetizers were delicious. For entrees, the trout was off the menu and there was no seafood replacement which was a bit disappointing. The lamb shank, the burger, the brick chicken were all very tasty, presented terrifically and good size portions. Three of us had the mushroom tagliatelle which was savory and delicious but, mysteriously the portion size was downright small. Great to be here in Asheville and would surely come back here again, and please address the portion size on the pasta. Thanks for a very good experience.

    Fantastic restaurant. The creativity and quality here rival restaurants in much larger metropolitan areas. If you’re in the Asheville area and looking for an outstanding dining experience you won’t go wrong here. Contemporary cuisine with fresh, local ingredients prepared with thoughtfulness and skill.

    Amazing food that is unique and fresh, and seasonal cocktails with a twist. Justin, our server, was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable about the food and drink menu and made excellent suggestions. The roasted carrots, mushroom tagliatelle and trout were phenomenal. We look forward to going back to try the other items on the menu.

    We enjoyed dinner Saturday night. Great location on Wall Street which is a great place for shopping and people watching. The interior is lovely and comfortable, with windows front and back. We loved having a table on the mezzanine overlooking the front dining area which includes a bar with seating. We also could see out the clerestory windows with a view of trees and sky. The menu is seasonal and farm to table. Spring menu coming soon, we will definitely go back for that. We started with perfectly made martinis and delicious truffle flavored fries. Our server, Justin, was accommodating and knowledgeable and attentive. We requested a ginger martini, and it was concocted perfectly. The duck confit was so GOOD, accompanied by Brussel sprouts. Pomegranate sauce on both. Generous serving size, we brought home enough for lunch. I had a glass of pilot noir that complemented the dish. The burger on the menu looked great, also the salads.
