New American Restaurants in Asheville, NC

“We were highly impressed with our first visit to Tall John’s! We had the Bravette Steak and Duck, both cooked to perfection! The cocktails were equally unique and tasty! Cool Vibes & yummy food! Oh, and we both have a gluten issue and were accommodated easily! We will be back ❤️“

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

“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 were on our way through Asheville and found this little gem after our first choice was closed. Do glad we did. \n\nThey were quite full/busy but they fit us in and were very kind and gracious about it. \n\nThe entire experience was special. About four different staff members checked on us throughout our evening. \n\nTheir knowledge of the menu was incredible, and especially their very extensive wine list. \n\nWe started with their “Darling” bread and butter. Absolutely amazing. I would have been happy with just that. \n\nTheir offerings of different locally grown greens was amazing. \n\nWe had the lamb kebabs and rabbit pasta for our main. Our outstanding sever recommended two incredible wines to pair. \n\nAn incredible experience from start to finish.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“What a great place to celebrate our birthdays. Two from KY and two from Augusta GA to enjoy celebrating all four of us having birthdays. Stuart who waited on us was EXCELLENT. We asked him about the damage to Asheville and we could hear it in his voice how hurt he was because others suffered so much. He was very gracious that we chose Asheville to celebrate our birthdays. I had the best shrimp and grits ever and I'm 73. Every meal the fried oysters, salads, Reuben Sandwich there is no negative experience. I hesitated to order the banana pudding but was intrigued by the description. So glad I did, it was so different than what I've ever had but the BEST I've ever had. Thank you to everyone working that day on 1/22 that wished us Happy Birthdays and made this such a wonderful memory for all 4 of us. Very welcoming, great personalities but above all GREAT FOOD.“

“My friend and I decide to go to Little D's due to an extremely long wait at another establishment. I'm so glad this is where we ended up! EVERYTHING is top notch- decor, service, cocktails & food! We sat at the bar for immediate seating. There is not one dish we tried that needed anything! Perfectly seasoned and plated with innovative flavors, textures & artistry. Thank you for the amazing experience.“

“Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Lovely ambience in the space. It feels like the kitchen really cares about the food it brings out. One thing I particularly liked was how well all the dishes were seasoned. A bit of heat here, a bit of spice there, and a dash of sweet when needed. And speaking of sweet, the lemon curd cheesecake is a wonder. I love it when the cheesecake part of the cheesecake isn't oversweet. The lemon curd gives a sweet and tart compliment to the creaminess of the dairy in the dish. It's dangerous, I tell you! We'll be back for more.“

“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!“

“15 of us went there for a farewell luncheon for a coworker. The atmosphere, the service, and the food were exceptional.
We played miniature golf afterwards, and had a blast!
If you want to feel like a kid again and have a delicious meal, I highly recommend Salt Face Mule Brewing Co.“

“We are visiting my in laws who are not fancy people. My husband however has been testing out a gluten free diet so we tried this spot out for his birthday.

The Mexican coke was so good compared to usual sugar sodas!“

“We celebrated our first wedding anniversary here, and it was absolutely phenomenal! The food, drinks, service, and ambiance were all on point, which is such a rare combination to find!

I had the steak frites (filet), and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had. I would come back just for that dish! My husband ordered the duck with cherry demi, and we also shared the oysters. Everything was delicious!

We couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary dinner and are already looking forward to coming back!“

“Love love love! Ate here for a cute birthday outing with my boyfriend and parents and I loved it. The sangria was refreshing and the complementary bar nuts were super tasty! The waitress was friendly and prompt. We also ate dinner and it was very good. We shared the charcuterie and I got the turkey club and thoroughly enjoyed both. When the waitress found out it was my birthday, she asked what dessert I would like, on the house. I had the BEST chocolate chip cookies with ice cream. We sat outside and had a beautiful view of the mountains and some wild turkeys.“

“We sat at the bar and the bartender Wes was top notch. Very personable, remembered our names when we came back in because we left a bag. Great experience and I highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Our experience was wonderful. From the sweet welcome when we checked in at the host stand, to being seated, and greeted by our server-everyone was so kind. The drinks were delicious (we both got specialty cocktails). We had the corn bisque and beet salad, and shared the ribeye - all incredible, no notes. We are still talking about it all. And we were celebrating our anniversary, so the special little dessert they brought out was a great ending to our meal.“

“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.“
