Family of four for dinner, the restaurant was a single table with a bar. Was this a restaurant or a lobby?! First clue that this was not going to be a stellar experience was when we called to ask if they were open and they said yes, but unless they get a customer by 8, they would close. Fried green tomatoes, they were super oily, breading fell off, but the flavors were good. Salad with grilled chicken, the greens were over dressed and the chicken rubbery. Pasta was under cooked? We sent it back, waitress said it was under the heat lamp, she said they would remake it, she came back with what appeared to be the same bowl of pasta, we think she took the top layer of noodles off. Whatever the case, how can you mess up pasta with butter? We also had an order of chicken tenders, they were burnt! We could not get out of this place fast enough, so after paying $63 for a meal that we couldn't eat, we went to a nearby restaurant and got a better meal.

5 stars isn't enough for this place. If you're a foodie, you need to stop here. Also, the cocktails are some of the best I've ever had.The atmosphere is elegant, yet relaxed and the staff is outstanding. See for yourself.

I will probably never have a trout again as good as what I had here. Also the fried green tomatoes were amazing. If you are in Asheville NC don't miss this hidden gem

Azalea Bar & Kitchen has truly set the bar high for an exceptional brunch experience.My kids ordered the Southern Apple Stack pancakes, which were fluffy and perfectly cooked with a generous topping of chopped apples and vanilla maple syrup. The highlight of our brunch experience was the Stuffed French Toast. The 3 layers of perfectly prepared French Toast were decadently stuffed with a rich and creamy cream cheese and goat cheese filling that was a savory symphony. I was sad when my stomach was too to eat anymore. I also ordered a side of home fries - crispy, salty nuggets of potatoes.The service was top-notch; our server was attentive and friendly. Our coffee cups were never empty, and our meals were served quickly. In all, the brunch at this Asheville hidden gem exceeded our expectations. I can't wait to return and explore more of their enticing menu.

I genuinely could not say enough amazing things about this place. I was immediately greeted with amazing customer service and great recommendations for what to try. You could tell the bartender genuinely cared about providing top notch service. This place made me wish I was a local but I absolutely can not wait to go back. Everything was nice and clean and my amazing bartender even wrote down some hikes and places I should try, she went above and beyond. This place was definitely the highlight of my vacation! Thank you guys for everything and I hope for all the success for you guys for all your hard work and dedication.

This place was truly amazing. Definitely a hidden gem worth finding. The shrimp and grits and the low country bowl was awesome and delicious if we're back in Asheville again we'd come back.
