Fyi this place does not open until 2 on Sundays even though Google and their website both say 11.
We were visiting Asheville for the weekend and decided to stop in for dinner. We started off getting an Italian soda and the house white wined of the night. We ordered a ceasar salad and calamari for appetizers. The drinks and appetizers were great and we were super excited for the rest of the meal.
For entrees, I ordered the duck and my partner ordered the seafood pasta. It took about 45 minutes after we finished our appetizers for our mains to come out. We were very disappointed with the quantity of the entrees. I had ordered the duck medium rare- as all duck should be served- but it came out more on the rare/raw side. I asked our server to have the kitchen cook it a little bit more and when it was brought back it was obvious that it had been microwaved. The fat from the duck had spread to the other parts of the dish. The texture was tough and taste of the duck was entirely different. My partner’s pasta dish was advertised as a fettuccini, but the pasta served was about the thickness of a pappardelle. The seafood was not bad, but the pasta was disappointing.
Overall the service and atmosphere were top tier. Our server was very attentive and music very much fit the vibe of the space. However, the food was not with the $120 we paid for it. They also add in an optional kitchen appreciation fee of 4%, which seems crazy considering the price of the food.

Okay, so as much as I love Strada, I usually end up on The Social Lounge side. And honestly? I love it even more. It’s artsy. It’s warm. It’s cozy. It’s comfortable. The kind of place where you can settle in for hours—whether I’m working solo or catching up with someone I love.
It’s my favorite place to be. The food? Perfection. The drinks? Absolute perfection. 10/10.
And once again—the people are FANTASTIC. Wow. They set a new expectation for customer experience and service industry standards. The kind of hospitality that makes you feel seen and welcomed every single time.
Come here. You won’t regret it.

Cocktails were too sweet (for my taste) and $20 for a pour of Casamigos Blanco is quite a bold choice

Saddest place in downtown Asheville. Stay away from this place. Can't even get their pricey drinks right.
We had such a great time. The food was all really great and Tanya was an amazing waitress!! We'll definitely be back.

This is usually my to go spot. My last time visiting me and my friends had ran out of coins and when we went out to grab change to play pool again we were approached by one of the lady bartenders and told if we keep going in and out we wouldn't be able to come back in. We had went out once to grab change. She went about the situation and approached the situation wrong

Not a full outdoor patio with a view but a nice place to enjoy the outdoors, a breeze and some great food. Service was fantastic, as was the grilled ravioli. Menu/food is an extension of Strada.
