20 Best Seafood Restaurants in Asheville

“My spouse and I ate here tonight and hands down our new favorite spot! Our server was amazing - very personable. We started with Samosas. For our entires we had Chicken Tikka Masala and Mom’s Chicken Curry with two orders of garlic naan bread. Hands down the best food we’ve ever had! If you get the Samosas, I recommend holding onto the two dipping sauces and dip the garlic naan in them! Chefs kiss 🙂 -Bailey and Payton (BP)“

“Absolutely terrific. My wife and I come from Long Island, so we know our seafood. The mussels were amazing, a meal in themselves. My wife loved her octopus. I had fish and chips better than what I had in England. Friendly staff, great service. 10/10!“

“Was so happy we stopped in this time cause we couldn't get in 2020. Service top in class and Jordan was amazing behind the bar. We decided to do the trick tower seafood tower and well worth the money despite other reviews on it. Never thought I would go the the mans and order seafood but it was like we were on the coast. We can not wait to go back and enjoy more of the menu. Great atmosphere and like I said staff was amazing. 🥰“

The young lady working was awesome happy friendly and full of energy. Thank you for opening today to feed others and leave your home and family. When we come back that way we will definitely eat there again“

The sides were all also very good. I highly recommend the greens and red peas. The hush puppies are also very flavorful, unlike most places. 🤫🐶

“My husband and I both ordered the Veal Marsala and it was delicious. Christine our waitress was super friendly and very attentive.“

“The Saturday dinner buffet is amazing! In the Cold area, between us we feasted on crab legs, oysters-on-the-shell, chilled shrimp, asparagus, apple & pear salad and a few pieces from the cheese & fruit selection. There were many items we did not try. Moving on to the Hot selection, the Prime Rib was outstanding. We also enjoyed the Roasted Brussel Sprouts and creamy Mashed Potatoes. There were many other dishes, rolls and two soups available. The assortment of Desserts, including a Candy buffet did not disappoint. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Because this is a family Resort dining room, there were also dishes to please children, including Hot Dogs and French Fries.“

“We loved everything. Stopped in the other day after checking out the menu posted by the door. Subtle delicious flavors, exactly what Japanese food should be! The homemade pickles were outstanding - eggplant, radish, carrot. The ginger honey tea was so light but with perfectly balanced flavor. Our sushi and sashimi as well as the cold noodle dish were some of the best food we've had in Asheville anywhere. Just loved the experience.“

“delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, knowledgeable and helpful staff, and the most AMAZING tequilas and mezcals I've ever seen in one place! thank you for your hospitality during the snow, we enjoyed ourselves so much!“

“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.“

“Great hot food. Clean, friendly staff. Inside and outside area very neat and clean! Fish cooked very well not burnt or raw. Fries not soggy. Cole slaw very tasty. Corn really good.Hush puppy s cooked very good and very good tasting.. I would Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a good place for a reasonable price not expensive plenty of food even for a hardy appetite on a 2pc. meal. Very filling and satisfying. You want be disappointed.“
