   Waiter was very polite and very patient. Which is needed with a complex guy like myself. Lighting is very low and vibes are very elegant. Food was unique. Will go again. (Thumbs up)

   I am a local and Asheville has so many amazing places for delicious food and outstanding drinks.... that said this was one of the best dining and drinking experiences. The food was outstanding and the attention to detail in creating a pleasing dining experience was amazing. The decor is so cool - even in the WC. We will be back for sure.

   Well, all I can say is the menu looked fantastic. Actually, the menu is pretty unachievable coming from a perspective inside the industry. Which is probably why the experience let me down so much. They’ve been open a short time which obviously means they need to put some pieces together a little better, so give them a moment and if they can pull it together they may be a spot to dine in the future.

   Everything was stupendous (and better than we expected), though the noise level might have been lower in their attached glass-enclosed "outdoor" space. The new host was marvelous, and our server, Brenda, was wonderful. The décor is amazing. Highly recommend the Crunchy Gentleman, Blackened Chicken Liver, Fried Oysters, and the Fish and Chips. We will definitely return!!

    You cannot go wrong with their charcuterie boards! They are served with delicious spicy picked and spiced, candied pecans. This was superb paired with the stone ground mustard! We also had the bone marrow with parsley salad. It was good and very savory. I say that because some may be turned off but we liked it. The crunchy gentleman is a ham and grilled cheese on steroids!!! Very rich and delicious. I decided on the fried oysters and the Creole sauce was outstanding and it was paired with their yummy pickles that were also fried. Delicious!

    Best meal! The oysters, Cruchy Gentleman, steak, carbonara were all excellent!! The staff brought us an extra dish of tartar which was delicious. And the dessert of fig cake with toffee was to die for. I only wish the shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were a bit bigger. Our server was the best!

    Third visit, great food, attractive restaurant. Tried Sunday brunch this time and it was very good. I wish the kitchen would stop sending food out one entree at a time. I was almost finished with my meal when my companion received their meal. This happened on each of our 3 visits. It’s awkward. Had to walk to the bar to order more drinks since our server never came back to check on us, bartender delivered them. I walked to the bar a second time to ask for our check- server dropped it off on our table without removing dirty dishes or asking if we wanted coffee. The restaurant was not busy at 2pm on Sunday. I would have said something to the host when we left but he was sitting at the bar chatting with bartender. There did not seem to be anyone in charge. The host that works at night is excellent- he walks around and checks on everyone and is always there to say goodnight - he should train the brunch staff.

    Such a wonderful, eclectic range of small plates to choose from! We enjoyed cocktails, the Crunchy Gentleman, some ramp chèvre cheese, an amazing salad of greens and herbs where every bite seemed to bring different flavors, blackened chicken liver with spoon bread, and sticky toffee bread pudding. Our server was great. Some of the most interesting bathroom decor. If I had one criticism it would be not enough wines by the glass.

    Loved it, will go back often! The Fried Oysters (and pickles!) were fabulous, wish I'd had two bowls of them instead of the clams. The clams were good but I've had tastier broths. Fish and Chips got a thumbs up and the Meat Pie got an "ok" - the bit I tasted was delicious but had to record the actual diner's rating. There were many things on the menu I will try when I return!

    The charcuterie board was the best I’ve ever had in this country. Typically you could only find that quality, especially the shaved dried hams, in Spain, France, or Italy. Kudos to head chef Antonio for this spread. The oysters, too, were fresh and delicious, if somewhat pricy. The butchers pie and blackened chicken livers were ok but not quite what I was hoping for. The ambience is intimate and even romantic and the service by Brenda pleasant and engaging. Kudos.

    The server was great and had lots of answers to our questions. The food was good but the amount was unpredictable. The carbonara was delicious but not really enough to share and the amount of mushrooms were too much. A little pricey for the amount of food but the service and the atmosphere was good.

    We took our younger kids and at first we weren't sure it was "family friendly". Luckily our waitress, Ciara, was amazing. She was patient and kind to all of us. She helped our kids order the perfect meal (so they were thrilled). She helped me order the perfect drink (so I was thrilled). Ultimately, I'm so glad we stayed to eat because the food was fantastic and the service was even better.

    I appreciate the effort that went into the interior decorators attention to detail that makes this room quite different than the bare wood brewery look of too many places. I like the cloth napkins and elegant stemware, unique menu and attentive wait staff. It’s worth the money to feel taken care of!!! Thanks

    Their locally sourced farm-to-table food and table service were great! Downsides: No child's menu, the menu is not gluten-friendly, and the plates are a bit small. I usually can find gluten-friendly items at most restaurants, but not this one. I thought the prices were high for the overall experience.

    Had been wanting to try this place for a while. Unfortunately the food was just meh, not as amazing as the reviews made it seem. Had the meat pie and it was more potato than meat. The ambiance was cool, but also borderline them thinking they are too cool with the way some of the staff act and look at you. Wouldn’t try again, there are so many other better places regarding the food, like Forestry Camp (upstairs).
