“The BEST lobster we have ever eaten! (And we live in Florida) Must have dinner here when visiting Asheville! House oysters were delicious and COLD.Parking: Parking lot directly across the street that was easy to walk to. It was a paid lot, $4 an hour. Very reasonable parking priceKid-friendliness: Brought our 3 kids under 5 y.o., and the staff was very friendly and welcoming of our kids. They had crayons, coloring pages, booster, high chairs, etc for the kids. They spent a lot of time watching the lobsters and one of the staff members let them “pet” a lobster. THANK YOU!“
“At Jettie Rae's Oyster House in Asheville, folks, I embarked on a seafood escapade that rocked my taste buds to the core! Picture this: Mussels so sublime, they practically waltzed onto my palate, and the branzino – oh, that branzino – a flavor fiesta that had me questioning if I'd stumbled upon seafood nirvana! ?? And let me tell you, if you're thinking of hitting this place, make reservations because it's a flavor party that gets packed faster than you can say "delicious!" Lol Massive shoutout to the stellar service and a staff so friendly, they're practically your seafood soulmates! ???“
“The best crab cake we've ever had by far. Crab cake is a little misleading in that it is mostly just crab! And high quality at that! Cornbread was pretty good and the club sandwich was delicious. Pretty pricey lunch but worth every penny.“
“I have dined here many times in the past. I love the view of the mountains and the wait staff is always well- trained and friendly. The building is historic and a bonus to enjoy before or after the meal. The food is very good for the price, with an outstanding variety. The crab legs and shrimp alone are enough to make the meal worthwhile. I recommend an early reservation time if noise is an issue.“
“My wife and I have been coming to the Grove Park inn for over 30 years. We've stayed there, hosted meetings there and just plain visit and have lunch or dinner. Recently, you've changed your rules on parking. I've heard many people comment that they feel that the $12 charge is excessive especially in light of the fact that they were eating lunch or dinner. Several of the people we've talked to have indicated they will not go back and others have said that they will continue to visit the Grove Park inn but will not be buying drinks lunch or dinner. Seems like you're $12 charge may not be the best business decision. I'm not suggesting you change your policy of one free hour, but I feel that if a couple is spending between 50 and $100 for lunch or even more expensive a dinner, that it would be appropriate to waive the parking charge. Seems to me it would be a small price to pay to retain loyal customers and attract new clients.“
“I was thrilled that we walked in on Easter Sunday with no reservation and a bigger party and were seated quickly, even with a full restaurant. The hostess and waitress were 10/10 helpful and kind. Everyone in our party loved their food. The kids portions are very reasonably priced, so I was nervous the portions would be small, but they were very generous. The restaurant was very clean. Everyone had a wonderful time and I would love to come back and visit if we come through the area again. Thank you for making our visit wonderful!“
“Such a fun place with a great atmosphere! Staff were all so welcoming and helpful, and the food was FANTASTIC!!!! I am already looking forward to going back and getting the blackened catfish and more mac n cheese! Don't miss the fries, they are so unique in the best possible way, you have to try them. Also, I am NOT a pickle person so when I say I ate every single pickle on my plate, just know that's an incredible pickle. I could write a novel about the sauces but instead I'll just say each one was so clearly crafted to perfectly compliment the dish it came with, I was VERY impressed.“
“Some of the best chicken we have had and insane curry sauce. Vegan options available too. Staff are readily available and nice, interior design is supreme. My only concern, is the lack of variety. Overall, come here for cheap and get amazing food out of it.“
“Fig Bistro was a very delicious! The potato bacon soup was pretty flavorful and a bit different then potato soup that I’m used to - less chunky and more smooth. The market fish was a trout was delicious with more of a citrus taste. The salmon was tasty with a bit of a lighter buttery flavor. The apple tart dessert was very good as well! Our waiter was very attentive. The place was smaller but comfortable.“
“The great oysters and seafood are amazing! Try the North Carolina oysters! They are the best. And the menu is very sensitive to food/diet restrictions. I have Celiacs but have FRIED Oysters every visit! The burgers are also amazing! LOVE Little Pearl!“
“Exceeding our expectations. Enjoyed the authentic Mexican food. Chrys was a great waitress. We appreciated her recommendations. We had shrimp and chicken street tacos and Mahi Mahi tacos. Delicious! Also had the guacamole and green beans. Excellent! Truly enjoyed our experience.Parking: There is a paid parking lot across the street. We had to wait a moment for someone to leave, but not too bad.“
“Somehow well-known, yet still an early walk-in, so off the "local secret" list. In similar balance, the experience is up-scale Asheville casual. Expect it to be a little pricey. Composed, semi-seasonal menu, not pretentiously obfuscated. Good ingredients conservatively elaborated, leaning toward French full-flavor. Service is professional without being stuffy or hovering. If accustomed to fine dining, appropriately AVL-relaxed; if new, not intimidating.-=-Setting expectations after reading other reviews: allow adequate time. The menu favors multiple courses and conversation. Think, "leisurely double-date with a short walk," if going to a show after dinner.“
“I am so glad we found this little place! My fiance and I live in Delaware, but we are moving to Asheville in July. We visited the city last week, and I was recommend this restaurant from the Facebook group, Asheville Foodies. Everything was fantastic. The service was great, atmosphere was awesome, and the food was amazing. My fiance and I eat Japanese ramen every Friday night as a tradition from our favorite ramen place in Delaware. So we wanted to establish a new Friday night ramen spot for when we move. And I think we found it! Such a little gem.“
“I had a great experience here. My daughter and I stopped here while visiting Asheville. The hostess was working very hard to get the Togo orders out! She was very friendly. We had decided to do takeout as well. We waited about 20 mins for our order which was fine I was enjoying the atmosphere. We both ordered the seafood broil with snow crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, and eggs. The flavor was delicious and the food was hot! We also ordered the fried cheesecake which another customer waiting on his food recommended! I was not disappointed! I will be back again!Parking: Parking is on the same lot as the restaurant. There is handicap parking but not a lot of room in the waiting area to be seated.“
“Best buffet in Asheville. This restaurant is family owned and the food is wonderful, everything. Great salad bar and any meal is the best you’ll find anywhere. We are locals and we go all the time, lunch and dinner. Excellent home cooked food. You’ll enjoy!!!!“
“The cook is like 7 stories tall lol. My Frenchie walked right up to him. Dude saved my life he just doesn't know it. I wish they hadn't sold out to the chain hotel. Trash business decision.Vegetarian options: Amazing food selectionDietary restrictions: Great“
“Best resturant I've been to in a long time, wonderful servers and outstanding food. Gotta give ya'll my compliments to the chefs, as it was honestly the best pasta I've ever had in a resturant. The Shrimp & Scallop Pasta was too die for, I'd highly recommend it if you come to this location. I absolutely loved talking to our main server Gretchen and she was always on top of things everytime she came over to our table! Melissa, you are doing an amazing job as manager, you all keep up the wonderful work! Definitely coming back here next time we're in Asheville!“
“Fried green tomatoes and blueberry bbq wings were delicious! The smash burger and garlic herb carrots were good. I wouldn’t get the turkey panini again. It definitely needed spinach or a tomato or the blueberry bbq sauce to make it better.“
“A warm ambience to the atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. Our waiter was great. I forgot to get his name but he was very attentive to my nephew and me. The food was cooked to perfection.Dietary restrictions: This is a seafood restaurant so not a viable option for vegetarians or vegans. As a pescatarian, this was a perfect option.Kid-friendliness: Bring your children. Red lobster has always been a family restaurant.“
“Went for lunch on Sunday after church. Parking is limited and the place is always packed. Got seated quickly. Our orders were out super fast. My fried catfish was just what I wanted. Super fresh and flaky! The slaw and fries were great too. Big portions for the price these days.“
“Absolutely one of the best places for Indian food we have been to. The place is new but the are a sister restaurant to Andaaz in Biltmore. The quality is very comparable and the drinks are a wonderful blend of flavors Eric had the Lamb Vindaloo while I had the Brazino. Both were amazing The staff were very friendly and helpful. Kevin the bartender was great. But don't get confused he isn't Indian. The owner Tony does have a vested interest and personally gets input from the patrons“
