    Our server, Paul was very good. And food was delicious. I had beef bougignon. Perfect cold night. Very festive with holiday decorations. We will definitely be back when we return to Asheville

    We felt lucky to discover the night we were making reservations that a nine piece trombone band would be performing. We selected to dine on the hated patio and were rewarded with a wonderful concert. The Christmas music was spectacular and really put us all in a Christmas mood. Hope they do this next year. I’ll bring more friends!

    Rendevous is always outstanding. What I like about Rendevous first of all is the staff. Everyone is super friendly and very qualified at what they do. The ambience was absolutely beautiful with the Christmas season and the holidays approaching. But honestly, the very best thing is the food. It is spectacular every single time. The sauces are absolutely amazing and the meals are cooked to perfection. Thank you so much! We love it there! Our absolute favorite restaurant in Asheville.

    Steak bouchon was a decent cut of meat, slightly overcooked. Service was very good, even though the restaurant appeared to be understaffed.

    In making the reservation on line, I specifically asked for the dining room. When we arrived at our reservation time of 6:30, the hostess let us to the bar. I told her about my request but she said she didn’t see it. Interestingly, I also selected birthday for my husband and she saw that. She then got a little snippy and said that she had a 2 party that had a 7pm and we couldn’t have their table. We ended up in the bar and it’s not the same ambience.

    A pleasant surprise in East Asheville! Great French comfort food. All 5 of us had a different entree and all were excellent.

    This is a classic French bistro, with extremely well-prepared food and great service. It is not fussy-it is a bistro. The guests are lively fans of French bistro cuisine, and everyone present appeared to be having a great evening. We can’t wait to go back to try more items on the menu.
