    This was our first visit. Space is small but well decorated and the ambience was nice. Not loud but not quiet either. I had the Pork Tenderloin which was amazing and perfectly prepared. The apps and sides were all fantastic. Wine list was good and they have a full bar. Would definitely recommend and will be returning. Reservations are suggested

    This was a very difficult review to write. The food was great. Absolutely top-notch. From the cauliflower soup and the roasted beets to the teres steak and the crayfish, everything was excellent. Here’s where things went wrong. We were the last reservation of the evening and were alone in the restaurant. The waiter told us to take our time and enjoy ourselves. We took him at his word and did just that. Within minutes of having finished our main courses and ordering an additional glass of wine, he dropped the check and then began turning off all the lights in the restaurant. Honestly, if they didn’t want our business, then they shouldn’t have accepted an 8:15 reservation or told us ahead of time that staff would be walking out and that they were closing the doors promptly at 9:15. A really uncomfortable end to what should have been a nice meal.

    Fabulous meal last night - 4 of us had fish, and all of the dishes were perfectly cooked. It was the best grouper I've ever had. Wonderful, attentive service and a chaming, quiet atmosphere made for a very enjoyable meal.

    The food is outstanding and it's a beautifully designed space. Many restaurants in Asheville aren't designed at all. Waiter was very knowledgeable. Nicely varied wine list.

    Four of us enjoyed dinner at Little D's. The offerings were very good from both small/sharing plates and entrees. We had the gnochi and grilled broccolini for sharing. We had two orders of mahi-mahi, and one each of the pork tenderloin and teres filet. All were delicious and extremely well prepared. Our server provided just the right balance of attention for our table.

    Love this neighborhood gem. Food and service always excellent. Wish piped in music was more in synch with the food and service. Tonight the rock music was loud and bordered on heavy metal making it hard to have conversation over... Something more jazz or acoustic would complement this fine place do much more.

    Lovely neighborhood spot - reservations def needed if you want to be certain of getting in. Service is good, staff knowledgeable. Menu changes frequently, so don’t get accustomed to a “favorite”….
