    We loved everything about this restaurant. We had excellent service. Staff was so knowledgeable and friendly. They gave us so much advice on the menu. But they also give us advice on where to visit other restaurants while our time in Asheville. We loved it so much we came back two nights in a row. It's as good as restaurant as I've been to anywhere!

    I have never had such a wonderful experience. If I could give it a 10 out of 10, I would, but I can only give it five stars. Ani was my primary server and she was extra attentive. I ordered a drink that I didn’t like. She took it away immediately and worked with me to find another solution for something else I might like. She brought me extra courses of food that I didn’t order, but loved anyways as a thank you for dining with them. Overall I highly recommend going there. If I ever come back to Asheville, I will for sure be going back to Luminosa.
