“Carrabbas has been a long-time favorite for many years. This location staff has always been attentive with a smile. On this visit, a friend and I stopped for appetizers and snacks. The prickly pear martini was very tasty and my friend tried one of the Sangrias...um..umm..ummm!We ordered calamari with the spicy sauce on the side and a combination platter.The calamari I was disappointed with. The breading overpowered the calamari, and it was borderline salty. Not just that, but the breading was too much. Peeling the batter off, I was left with almost a quarter cup of it on my plate. If this is the new way, they'll prepare calamari. I may not be ordering it anymore.Oh, I almost forgot. I ordered a canoli cake for two for my Mom and I. Was that so good, very flavorful.But..! I still love me some Carrabbas!“

“Absolutely one of the best places for Indian food we have been to. The place is new but the are a sister restaurant to Andaaz in Biltmore. The quality is very comparable and the drinks are a wonderful blend of flavors Eric had the Lamb Vindaloo while I had the Brazino. Both were amazing The staff were very friendly and helpful. Kevin the bartender was great. But don't get confused he isn't Indian. The owner Tony does have a vested interest and personally gets input from the patrons“

“My delightful visit to The Lobster Trap in October 2014 left me with a taste of the ocean and a dash of excitement. As a devoted seafood enthusiast, I was eager to sample their offerings. Here’s my refreshed take:Food: The dishes were an absolute feast for the senses. From succulent lobster to perfectly prepared clams, each bite transported me to coastal bliss.Beer Selection: While the beer selection didn’t quite match the excellence of the seafood, it was like a refreshing sea breeze on a warm day. Perhaps an expanded variety would elevate the overall experience even further.Pricing: Yes, the bill left me raising an eyebrow, but let’s focus on the positives. The quality of the food justified some of the cost, and the ambiance made it a memorable evening.In summary, my experience at The Lobster Trap was a harmonious blend of delight and anticipation. If you’re a seafood lover, this spot is a must-visit. Just be prepared to savor every moment—and maybe splurge a little.“

“Such a fun place with a great atmosphere! Staff were all so welcoming and helpful, and the food was FANTASTIC!!!! I am already looking forward to going back and getting the blackened catfish and more mac n cheese! Don't miss the fries, they are so unique in the best possible way, you have to try them. Also, I am NOT a pickle person so when I say I ate every single pickle on my plate, just know that's an incredible pickle. I could write a novel about the sauces but instead I'll just say each one was so clearly crafted to perfectly compliment the dish it came with, I was VERY impressed.“

I ordered the shrimp and grits, my wife the Baja chicken. I was not a fan of the creole sauce so our server had the manager Jake come over. Jake offered to make something else or remake the dish without the creole sauce!!!! It was fantastic!!! My wife and I are in town for work/pleasure. We will be back!!! Oh, my wife's dish was amazing!!!“

“Fig Bistro was a very delicious! The potato bacon soup was pretty flavorful and a bit different then potato soup that I’m used to - less chunky and more smooth. The market fish was a trout was delicious with more of a citrus taste. The salmon was tasty with a bit of a lighter buttery flavor. The apple tart dessert was very good as well! Our waiter was very attentive. The place was smaller but comfortable.“

We arrived after many people were already eating, so some of the food was gone (empty pan) but the lesson here is arrive no later than noon. Having said that... I would try it again because the buffet offers a variety of tasty treats that are labeled above the dish (on signs) and it's not expensive.“

“Somehow well-known, yet still an early walk-in, so off the "local secret" list. In similar balance, the experience is up-scale Asheville casual. Expect it to be a little pricey. Composed, semi-seasonal menu, not pretentiously obfuscated. Good ingredients conservatively elaborated, leaning toward French full-flavor. Service is professional without being stuffy or hovering. If accustomed to fine dining, appropriately AVL-relaxed; if new, not intimidating.-=-Setting expectations after reading other reviews: allow adequate time. The menu favors multiple courses and conversation. Think, "leisurely double-date with a short walk," if going to a show after dinner.“

“I am so glad we found this little place! My fiance and I live in Delaware, but we are moving to Asheville in July. We visited the city last week, and I was recommend this restaurant from the Facebook group, Asheville Foodies. Everything was fantastic. The service was great, atmosphere was awesome, and the food was amazing. My fiance and I eat Japanese ramen every Friday night as a tradition from our favorite ramen place in Delaware. So we wanted to establish a new Friday night ramen spot for when we move. And I think we found it! Such a little gem.“

We both ordered the seafood broil with snow crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, and eggs. The flavor was delicious and the food was hot! We also ordered the fried cheesecake which another customer waiting on his food recommended! I was not disappointed! I will be back again!Parking: Parking is on the same lot as the restaurant.
