26 Best Seafood Restaurants near Arden

“🥰I have nothing but love for Carrabba's now. After Helene hit this area, we were left without power for several days at Audubon Place Apartments. We had lost everything in our fridge, freezer, and small deep freezer. We had nothing to eat that didn't require cooking. We took what we would salvage from our freezers (frozen eggrolls and frozen gyoza) and my cast iron skillet to the grill station area. Yes, we cooked it up on the grill taking a turn with every other person there who was also doing the same thing! While we were there talking to our Audubon neighbors, someone from Carrabba's comes and drops off a spread of food! It smelled so amazing, and it looked so lovely. We took some food for ourselves and neighbors who couldn't come over to the grills. Door to door we went in our building passing out some Carrabba's food and our own food. Yesterday, we stopped by to eat a good solid mean since we had been just eating what we could. We were so happy to see others and to actually have a chance at something normal for a change--not just surviving. Our meals were fantastic, and we had enough to take home for another meal later on. We talked to the owner, Ashley O'Bey and thanked her. Not only had they taken care of us, but they have been serving those here working the recovery and restoration (our linemen and etc)! Ashley made sure we had something else to eat later on as well. She took care of us! Each and every person in there working at this time are blessings! Amazing restaurant; amazing people! Beyond 5 stars!“

“My spouse and I ate here tonight and hands down our new favorite spot! Our server was amazing - very personable. We started with Samosas. For our entires we had Chicken Tikka Masala and Mom’s Chicken Curry with two orders of garlic naan bread. Hands down the best food we’ve ever had! If you get the Samosas, I recommend holding onto the two dipping sauces and dip the garlic naan in them! Chefs kiss 🙂 -Bailey and Payton (BP)“

“My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our last visit to Jettie’s. We sat at the bar where Mitch was super attentive to our needs. As always, the food was outstanding. The oysters were second to none. The conversation with the staff added to our night of entertainment. We will definitely be returning.“

“Couldn’t rave about this place more. The food was insane - every bite we had - we kept going back for more. The cabbage pancake was bursting with flavor, the seafood dip was awesome and the crackers took it over the top - but the nuggets were just out of this world. So flaky, seasoned to perfection - and the sauces - we couldn’t get enough. Truly could have stayed there all day, listening to the music and looking at the decor. Such a rare spot and so jealous this is an every day lunch spot people can enjoy anytime. Can’t wait to get back!“

“Was so happy we stopped in this time cause we couldn't get in 2020. Service top in class and Jordan was amazing behind the bar. We decided to do the trick tower seafood tower and well worth the money despite other reviews on it. Never thought I would go the the mans and order seafood but it was like we were on the coast. We can not wait to go back and enjoy more of the menu. Great atmosphere and like I said staff was amazing. 🥰“

“WOW! Very good food and service. We will be back to try other dishes from their menu.“

“We had dinner here last night after a movie. I honestly don't think I've ever had better service in my 70 years! We had at least 4 people working with us from the main server, main cocktail person and several others. Each was inquisitive about us and acted as if we were their only table. The food was awesome. Best cornbread ever! I had ribs which were delicious and I supstituted the sides with no problem. My husband had crabcakes which were authentic Maryland style with no fillers and lots of crab. The drinks, an Old Fashioned and Manhattan, were some of the best I've had and I consider myself an Old Fashioned connoisseur! The prices are high but no higher than other restaurants. We are locals and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“The food is fantastic, atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, and our waiter Anthony was amazing!! We are so glad to see him back! He is so friendly and goes the extra mile to make sure his customers are pleased and have everything they need. I came in when they first opened up a few days ago, I hadn’t had my coffee yet and he made me a pot right away! Excellent service! We’ll keep coming back and sit in his section!! 😊👍“

“Everything we got was delicious. Wings, oysters on the half shell and lobster bisque w/ mini lobster grill cheese. Cool vibe atmosphere. Great service. It’s a hidden gem.“

“Best seafood in Asheville hands down! Such a great meal with great service for a great price, can't beat it!“

“My favorite Mexican restaurant here. Fantastic.“

“We stopped by there today on Christmas and they were opening at 3! so we waited 15 more mins it was 2:45 then. When I tell you we had the food and dining experience at the bar. The young lady working was awesome happy friendly and full of energy. Thank you for opening today to feed others and leave your home and family. When we come back that way we will definitely eat there again“

“The food was spot on, and the service was excellent. The interior has a really cool atmosphere. One thing to note is that the photos make the restaurant look much larger than it actually is—it's a small, intimate space with vaulted ceilings, which I personally enjoyed. The menu is also intentionally small, allowing them to focus on quality, and it appears they rotate the offerings regularly.“

“the staff is awesome and the food is delicious! my husband and I usually share a 3 item combo and we bring food home.. we thoroughly enjoy the staff from greetings to servers, the managers, even other patrons, you can't find a better place to eat seafood in this area.“

“Me and my wife are here at cornerstone restaurant today and the food was absolutely delicious again the spaghetti and the meatballs, the Snickers cheesecake and Claire our waitress. She was a diamond for sure. Great personality. Fast response brought our food out very quickly and everything was A+plus would like to give her a big shout out. Even if the food was bad ! We would come back because of her .“

“Have been going here for awhile. I LOVE the food. I've tried all their tacos. Lots of great seafood. Highly recommend, if you like authentic Mexican food.“

“delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, knowledgeable and helpful staff, and the most AMAZING tequilas and mezcals I've ever seen in one place! thank you for your hospitality during the snow, we enjoyed ourselves so much!“

“From the moment we walked in Angelo and his family and staff made our family gathering the best. Our server Jacob was great. The food as always was delicious. We had a small family gathering on Sunday and they accommodated our party of 20. We are very happy with Mills River Resturant!“

“We loved everything. Stopped in the other day after checking out the menu posted by the door. Subtle delicious flavors, exactly what Japanese food should be! The homemade pickles were outstanding - eggplant, radish, carrot. The ginger honey tea was so light but with perfectly balanced flavor. Our sushi and sashimi as well as the cold noodle dish were some of the best food we've had in Asheville anywhere. Just loved the experience.“

“Have been going here for awhile. I LOVE the food. I've tried all their tacos. Lots of great seafood. Highly recommend, if you like authentic Mexican food.“

“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 hot food. Clean, friendly staff. Inside and outside area very neat and clean! Fish cooked very well not burnt or raw. Fries not soggy. Cole slaw very tasty. Corn really good.Hush puppy s cooked very good and very good tasting.. I would Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a good place for a reasonable price not expensive plenty of food even for a hardy appetite on a 2pc. meal. Very filling and satisfying. You want be disappointed.“

“The service is very friendly and prompt. The food is delicious, just like when I was a child at my abuela’s (grandma). I highly recommend! Also the place is very clean and new!“
