    Food and service were amazing. The sides were the stars of the show. Do not miss the mashed potatoes, sweet potato confit or mushrooms. Definitely a special occasion restaurant. Too full for dessert but they looked delicious.

    An amazing meal in a lovely environment. Our waiter Johnny was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! Definitely will come again the next time we’re in Asheville!

    Service was extremely slow. We watched 3 other tables of guests who arrived after us be served, including dessert., and leave before we finished being served. In addition our server promised rolls which we never got. No apologies by our server. We won't return.

    Excellent food. Had a reservation and had to wait 15 minutes for our table. Minor, but when paying those prices, you’d expect a quicker time to seat. Food was amazing. Waiter was insightful and nice. However, water went unfilled several times throughout the night. Overall great date experience, I’m sure we happened to go on a day where service just wasn’t the best. Cheers.

    To be upfront, this would have been a 5 star but for the fact that one entree was unacceptable BUT to give the restaurant proper credit they did take the charge off the bill and were very polite about it. Otherwise other meals were great. The Duck was outstanding, the fish special (salmon) was very good, the gnocchi app was 100% and the wagyu beef tarter was exceptional. While the group did not order a bottle of wine the list appears very good to excellent. The red wines by the glass recommended by the server was spot on to what my quest was seeking. Good call. We will return.

    Amazing food! Wonderful service. The restaurant was very cold, however. I suggest requesting a table at the back of the restaurant.
