The waitress was very nice and accommodating. The food took a long long time to come, and we were talking about two Ruben sandwiches. When they came one of them was wrong and we had to wait another 10 to 15 minutes to get them remade. The “pastrami” of the Reuben was tasteless. I could not finish mine and they did offer me a 50% reduction and cost. It seems that they want to do things right, but from my point of view, I would not be going back there again.

The food is exceptional! Do not miss this local icon!! We could not have had better food and service. Start with mussels and follow with the aged tenderloin and salmon. You can’t go wrong!

Great food pleasant staff. After posting this I read some of the other reviews. I want to say the owner brought me my steak and was a nice and appreciative dude.

Great locally owned brewery and restaurant. Great place to watch a football game and enjoy some wings. Their food is always solid. The staff are friendly.

Giving it one star because it was the mid-est of mid and exceptionally overpriced. I haven’t been blown away by this lackluster of a milquetoast restaurant in Asheville in a LONG time.

The weirdest part- I’m not joking about this- was one of the owners eating at the bar when we arrived, who proceeded to *very* loudly/grossly lick their fingers, beatboxed on the bar top, mumbled to themselves repeatedly, and slammed their phone down on the bar. Maybe they were on some good weed, which, fine…or they were just being an aloof bar owner doing a weird flex in their restaurant.

Other stuff:
They brew their own beer - they shouldn’t. They should just buy other reputable AVL breweries’ beer. It was exceedingly bland.

The food- it was food. I was excited about the GF options on the menu but it was just technically sustenance.

Atmosphere- has potential, truly. Clean, bright, cool layout, really nice bar. But…All the military branch flags, odd smattering of kitschy nautical theme decorations, and the oddball owner at the bar really detracted from the vibe. Also, we are in our mid thirties and we were definitely the youngest people in the restaurant. Just saying.

Price- insanely overpriced. $104 for drinks, a single quartered corn cob (a “rib” if you will), a flavorless ribeye sandwich, and BBQ wings that were…chicken with BBQ on them.

Went twice. Merely disappointed with the plain, unseasoned Brussels sprouts the first time, otherwise the food was pretty good. The second time they were out of potato’s (?!), so we had to change entrees, the food came out in two parts, the chicken dinner was extremely sad and had to be returned, and the owner was there but didn’t say a word to us about how terrible everything was. Will absolutely never return to this place and will make sure none of my friends do either. Very expensive for a very lackluster experience.

Second visit, last visit. Meats may be fine, I care not to find out; small plates miss the mark. Beverage hohum. Brussels sprouts were oversized & soggy. Fried artichokes were from a grocery shelf jar of marinated artichokes. Green tomato BLT was nothing to write home about.
