    It can be difficult to find a place to dine at a relaxed pace and with a noise level that allows for conversation. Ashten's hits the mark perfectly! Every bite was delicious and we never felt rushed. Fabulous evening!

    The food was delicious. We were celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary. They really made us feel special. Free picture and complimentary dessert. The staff was so nice, attentive and made sure you had what you needed. Will def be going back! Worth every penny! The filet Mignon was tender and juicy.

    We travel 2 hours to visit this adorable village at Christmas time highlighted by dinner at Villagio and once again were so delighted by our experience, other than, in our opinion, the over the top prices for drinks, a very small martini $19.25 another for $18.25. But we will be back

    I went with my mom & girlfriend. It was my mom’s 60th birthday, also all of our first time there. Upon being seated I noticed a Happy Birthday card on the table, which was signed by the staff. For apps we started with the crab hush puppies, which were amazing. The menu was detailed and also came with a guide showing where all of the ingredients came from out of NC. #shoplocal My girlfriend got the Elk, which was a first for us all, it was tender and delicious. I ordered the Lamb Shank. It was fall of the bone tender. Mom got the Salmon, which was great and had a pretty cool presentation. Paired with a dirty martini & finished with almond crème brûlée. Great meal. 10/10. Also shared 1/2 dozen oysters. Great experience, will definitely return.
