“Small and quaint; clean and calm old school place, a house turned into a Tavern. The staff was friendly. We did not eat so cannot rate the food but what food was prepared smelled delicious, we had a soda from a can.
We were able to play pool without interruptions. The pool table is coin operated.“

“Fantastic meal last night at Jargon! The ginger carrot 🥕 soup was incredible. We paired it with Asparagus and risotto. The strawberry dessert was amazing and the after dinner drinks with espresso beans were perfection.“

“We had a great time at Table. The staff was attentive and kind. The oysters were perfect. Sometimes oysters aren’t cleaned properly but these were and the taste was spot on with the mignonette. They had wonderful recommendations like the dark chocolate sorbet which was fantastic and made in house. Quiet place for a casual dining experience.“

“My friends and I ate here during our visit to Asheville in August 2024 and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so good! I cannot wait to have another opportunity to go back“

“I have eaten here many times and I have had top quality perfectly prepared meals every time and the staff are very attentive and friendly I would highly recommend their Belgian Waffles The best I have ever eaten the berry and apple salad is fresh and Elegantly dressed!“

“my friends and I visited Monday after the herb festival and had the best food of our whole trip at Chestnut! they had the Eggs Benedict and I chose the burger gluten free. all our meals were amazing and the care our waitress put into asking about my gluten issues was so appreciated! I do believe it was the best gluten free burger fries and cheese tots I have eaten ever! Thank you so much for taking the time and going the extra mile for those of us with Celiac. Crystal ( I hope that's right, my mind is old lol)was truly awesome and everyone needs to experience this place and her! 500 stars!!“

“Happy hour: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm M - F
If you love beer or cocktails and you need an early dinner, this is a great happy hour. You can get a huge chicken sandwich that tastes high quality for $9 or a delicious burger for $12. Drinks range from $3 - $10. They have plenty of cocktail and beer options during the happy hour as well. The only thing I wish they did was a red and white house wine with the happy hour menu as well. Other than that this is perfect for people who want a fancy delicious experience without the high price tag.

The happy hour definitely made me want to come back for the full dinner menu! I will 100000% be back.“

“The Beer Geek tour was very informative and a great value. If you have 3 hours and want to get a behind the scene experience of the beer making process every step of the way from water and grains and ending with finished product in packaging, this is the tour for you. The tour guide Mary did a great job explaining the process and answering questions. Additionally, all the employees we encoutered along the way were very friendly and showed great pride in their company and the immaculate Mills River facility!“

“Incredible food, drinks, and views! Definitely make a reservation and catch the sunset. 10/10 experience.“

“We went to Posana to celebrate our honeymoon and were thoroughly impressed by everything and everyone! The ambiance of the place is perfect for a romantic date night, and the attentive staff ensured that we were taken care of throughout our dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and offered a unique culinary experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a memorable date night or a special celebration!“

“I am new to Asheville and brought my mom, two aunts and cousin to visit. We chose to eat here on a whim. It was a busy Saturday with a long wait and several things happening in the area. My aunt us genuinely severely allergic to gluten. The options for her weren't super extensive, but they offer a gluten free bun and several other options. Our server seemed new and I noticed had been double sat. She was awesome, despite both. We had lots of questions and she didn't know all the answers but she had a great attitude and was accommodating. The manager came to help her out since it was so busy. My aunt had mentioned she was allergic to gluten, chose a gluten free salad, and just asked our server to make note not to add croutons. The Manger came over and assured us he was clearing a space in rhe back to prepare her food so it would be fully uncontaminated. We didn't ask for this, but he was proactive about it. One salad came with rhe wrong protein, no biggie, we said we'd keep it. He offered to have a side of salmon made or the entire salad replaced despite us assuring him it was OK. he then comped the entire salad, not just the protein we missed. We were running out of time on our parking meter so we canceled some drinks we had ordered earlier. The bartender has already made them and the manager not only brought them to us anyway but then comped them from our bill. Literally couldn't have asked for a better experience or nicer staff.“

“They exceeded my expectations! Held my daughters college graduation celebration dinner party of 20. Their meats were done to perfection. The staff were gracious we were all completely satisfied! I highly recommend.“

“Wonderful upscale restaurant. Superb wine list with affordable selections and bucket list bottles. Hank, our sommelier was so helpful in our choices to match the right wine with the incredible meal. The restaurant was tastefully decorated for the holidays setting a beautiful tone for the evening. Cannot wait to return!“

“Had lunch with you yesterday. very impressed great service delicious food. Glad I found you will return. 👏👏“

“The cocktail menu is phenomenal. Chris the bartender has his own creations and they are amazing. Ian the owner is so personable, he has really put some time and effort in his delectable menu choices. We love this place! Go check it out“

“Had lunch with you yesterday. very impressed great service delicious food. Glad I found you will return. 👏👏“

“The chefs are brilliant and inspired. The service is en pointe. There are bartender crafted cocktails which are absolutely delightful. The atmosphere is wonderful... these mountains frame this farm so perfectly. The menu is delectable in its options and seasonal variability. I'm a 50 year, born here local... this is my 8th time enjoying eating here at The Silo at Horse Shoe Farm. So, this is not a one off, or a hastily performed review. I've partaken all the James Beard Asheville chefs for a while now...as well as any and all "new best thing restaurant" that comes to be. Nothing...I repeat, nothing in WNC compares to The Silo. You will not be disappointed. And if...if you are and you communicate it- they will make it right. You will have one of the best meals of your life.“

“Never disappoints, always consistent service with amazing food. Our favorite Asheville restaurant.“

“This was a cool restaurant. Awesome atmosphere. A very friendly wait staff. Food was good, not great. A little pricey for the portions and the plating. But I would come back mainly because of how nice the staff was. One word of caution, this is in the ground floor of the hotel and the hotel puts WAY too much scent in the lobby and throughout. Overpowering and caused me and my wife headaches.“

“My daughter and I stopped in Mt pleasant location today for the first time ! It was yummy ! Can’t wait to go back ! The pork belly was off the chain !“

“great Krewe, touchtunes, good times, beware of the pool sharks, East Asheville's best meeting grounds“

“The WALK has always been one of my favorite West Asheville hangouts because their tacos are to die for! My most recent lunch there I had the best service thanks to Emma. I appreciate that the WALK not only has good food but they have good people that provide great service!!!“

“We LOVE the one stop! The people, the place, the fans. Can’t wait to visit y’all again! 5 🌟“

“Food was great our waitress was great and informative.“

“Great view of smokie/Appalachian mountains. Came for appetizers and drinks before dinner in the main dining room. Great relaxing setting. Also got to see a wedding on the lawn below the terrace, with the mountains in the background. What a lovely romantic touch to the start of an evening.“

“Nice place and nice owners“

“Man, this place is awesome. The service? Top-tier—super friendly and on point. And the food? So good! I was psyched that they could make their crab cakes gluten-free, and honestly, they were insane. Crispy, flavorful, just straight-up delicious. Now, the BBQ pork flatbread? Total game changer. Smoky, a little sweet, a little tangy, with the perfect crunch. Just the kind of thing you wanna keep going back for.“

“Stopped for breakfast on our sister's trip.my daughter worked here 20 years ago and wanted to buy a T-shirt for her. Unfortunately, none in her size but the server gave me some stickers which was so sweet of her. Amazing food, and great, kind server.“

“amazing food . great environment“

“Our server, Kelan, was so helpful with our special requests! The cook and shift manager both came over to ask how we were doing. So awesome! My bowl and amped up grilled cheese were perfect. Mom's hashbrowns with a few add ins were exactly what she needed today! ❤️“

“Great food and staff are awesome too!“

“My girlfriend and I were in town to celebrate our one year. We decided to try out Tupelo Honey. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was amazing. It has a great atmosphere with an outdoor seating option with a view of downtown. If you’re ever in Asheville I HIGHLY recommend you giving Tupelo Honey a chance!“

“The burgers and our service were amazing“

“Leigh our server was outstanding in delivering a memorable experience on our anniversary. She went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible dinner. My wife's trout and my scallops were delicious. I actually hesitated on the scallops due to its side dish which was succotash. I didn't have fond memories of that dish when I was a kid... (lima beans) but Leigh reassured me that this was delicious. Could the side dish steal the show of the scallops? In this case it indeed did. I loved it so much I asked Leigh how they made. She actually gave me an email and the chef would send me the recipe! That my friends is service! In fact I regret booking the Dining Room at the Inn the next night and wished we had returned to the Bistro. Bravo Bistro!!“

“Twisted Laurel was a perfect fit for our day trip to Asheville. The food was delicious. The service is fantastic. Thanks, Josh!“

“Amazing service, incredible food (highly recommend their original fried chicken with the seasoning, collard bacon greens, and the sweet potato pancakes (holyyyyy shi that was amazing)). Go to the Hendersonville location, way less busy than downtown! Will 10000% be back“

“Visit on holiday package. Breakfast was fabulous well plated and delicious. Thanksgiving dinner was plated in an unappetizing manner with food smashed up in domes next to each other with cranberry sauce ( not good for diabetic)poured on top of everything. everything was lukewarm and gravy had no flavor. I requested a new plate and received 2 plates with everything in separate bowls still lukewarm. Felt like a snub from the Chef for commenting on plating. Lady next to us had a beautifully plated steak. If you can't do a well plated turkey dinner don't offer it as an option.“

“Great food. Locally sourced. Friendly, well-trained staff.“
