About Golden Hour

Golden Hour is a popular spot located inside The Radical hotel, offering great food and a good atmosphere in a beautifully restored historic building in the heart of the River Arts District. Guests can enjoy delicious items from the wood-fired grill, along with standout dishes like the flat iron steak, Parker house rolls with butter, and mashed potatoes. The atmosphere is well-lit and trendy, especially in the basement level of the hotel, with a huge bar in the center that offers a good selection, including some high shelf bourbon pours. Visitors often sit at the bar for great conversation, and some enjoy unique dining experiences like ordering a caviar bump with the head chef. The inside area is immaculate—clean and fancy—making it a perfect place to relax and dine. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, with staff providing good recommendations. Guests often start with an old fashioned and a citrusy cocktail, and share dishes like bread and cheese boards, which are described as fresh, soft, warm, and gooey. The food is fresh and flavorful, with a range of textures and temperatures. The restaurant also offers a well-thought-out selection of wines and cocktails like the espresso martini and traditional old fashioned, making Golden Hour stand out as one of Asheville's top dining destinations. Parking can be challenging, but with some patience, a spot can be found. Visiting during restaurant week is recommended to support the restaurant and try new menu items. Overall, it’s considered a great value for the experience, atmosphere, and flavor.
