Have been wanting to try this place for a while but the hurricane put a damper on plans. What a lovely evening. The autumn daiquiri and gingerbread White Russian were two of the best cocktails I’ve ever had in Asheville. Swordfish delightful. Can’t wait to return.

Our waiter, Daphne was superb. Great service and a fine dining experience. Delicious root vegetables and salad with pomegranate, squash, pecans, goat cheese. We had a wonderful evening and ended it by sharing the chocolate mousse which was decadent.

Great to see these folks back in business after Helene. The menu is a bit smaller than usual, but the food is really good and service is impeccable. Asheville is still under a "boil water" advisory so running a restaurant is a challenge but they are making it work. Parking is plentiful right across the street. Please support Asheville restaurants as they continue to recover.
