“I almost skipped on this recommendation on the menu being mostly pizza.. but everything from the olives, anchovy appetizer, to the Bianca and the Parma was all 5/5! Service and atmosphere was to match. I would put this food against some of the best pizza I’ve had— to include even in Italy!I can only imagine those who rated it low were only due to it being too busy or having to wait. We went at around 6/630 and it was right before a dinner rush. Highly recommend.“
“I loved visiting this beautiful bar for their new Saturday brunch. I had the fried chicken biscuit with pimento cheese, special pickles, and salad. Chef Charlie Hodge's food always hits the spot and I can't wait to try the rest of the brunch entrees. I couldn't pass up the "Kick in the Pants" cocktail, a good brunchy type drink with coffee, cinnamon and rum. They also have a creative selection of "Zero Proof" non-alcoholic choices. If you are downtown, don't miss this brunch! The space is beautifully furnished and you can come for a big breakfast and order it all, like I did, or just enjoy a simple morning meal. Prices are reasonable and if you are lucky, like I was, having a conversation with Chef Charlie might be possible -- he is delightful! Saffron was the server that day and she was friendly, professional, and made the experience really wonderful!“
“I love coming here for multiple reasons:Coffee here in the mornings is good and I can focus on my work in a comfortable environment. I do some of my work on my laptop and feel this is a great place to do that.For dinner, the food is delicious! You pay for what you get here. The quality is very good. I recently had the wings and they were fantastic.I’ve come here for a beer or cocktail every once in a while too. They have a nice porch so you can enjoy the weather as well.If you’ve been thinking about trying this place and haven’t yet, you’re missing out! Give them a try and you won’t regret it. You’ll wish you had gone sooner in fact.“
“Azalea Bar & Kitchen has truly set the bar high for an exceptional brunch experience.My kids ordered the Southern Apple Stack pancakes, which were fluffy and perfectly cooked with a generous topping of chopped apples and vanilla maple syrup. The highlight of our brunch experience was the Stuffed French Toast. The 3 layers of perfectly prepared French Toast were decadently stuffed with a rich and creamy cream cheese and goat cheese filling that was a savory symphony. I was sad when my stomach was too to eat anymore. I also ordered a side of home fries - crispy, salty nuggets of potatoes.The service was top-notch; our server was attentive and friendly. Our coffee cups were never empty, and our meals were served quickly. In all, the brunch at this Asheville hidden gem exceeded our expectations. I can't wait to return and explore more of their enticing menu.“
“Always the best! It is hard to get good Mediterranean food close to where I live so going here is a treat for me. Quality has not changed in the past year. Belly dancer on the Friday/Saturday is always a pleasure to watch as well! Pictured: Jordanian chicken “
“Wonderful experience here recently with my wife for dinner. The server made superb wine suggestions, plus she was completely attentive to dietary restrictions with regard to menu items & their ingredients. She checked things with the chef for details & worked with us successfully for helpful tweaks for items where possible, while being clear which items could not be adjusted. The menu items were all delicious & we took several items home, enjoying them later.“
“The bar is good. Have lots of options and budget friendly. If you are looking for a calm and a good discussion with your friends without too much music thien i recommend this. Vijay who handles the bar is awesome and will give you all the options for you to choose from. Had a good experience.“
“We stopped in here to have a glass of wine before dinner because it was right next to our hotel. We ended up staying much longer because we were having such a great time! The atmosphere is top notch and so is the entire establishment. They have a fantastic selection of wines, great decor, and a great patio. We also got the opportunity to speak to the owners, and they were genuinely kind and great people! Bottle Riot is also dog friendly which is always a plus. Any time we’re back in Asheville we will make a point to stop here again to support a great local business!“
“"Capella on 9 rooftop in the AC hotel downtown offers breathtaking views of Asheville from its rooftop setting. The cocktails are top-notch, but the food is decent in taste. Can stop for a quick drink and head out for better food in downtown. Nonetheless, it's a fun spot to experience the vibrant atmosphere of Asheville. A must-visit for those seeking great drinks and stunning vistas."“
“Although this restaurant is on a main road across from a dark lounge (Desoto's) and a muffler shop, the food and drinks we had were delicious! 50+ yo couple from Camden SC in town for the week. First time visit. Ordered cocktails: Smoke Show, special drink The Spice Is Right, Pinapple Mai Tai, and Feta Fries. Yummy! Delicious!!! The cashier let us taste the CBD beer, and it was good too! We sat outside behind the flower boxes, which were a really nice touch and helped set a better atmosphere due to the traffic. The employees were friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back!!Parking: We parked right on the street right in front of the restaurant . Not sure about other parking.“
“Stippednin for lunch without planning and was overjoyed at how delicious the food was. The string bean dish was our favorite. Simple but done right. All of the food we sampled was wonderful and delicious and our waitress Jes was sweet and amazing. Would definitely eat here again and again.“
“Visited after running the 2024 Asheville Half-Marathon. We parked downtown and walked a few blocks to the restaurant.Delicious Asian food, wide variety of dishes and tapas.Very cozy and relaxing atmosphere with friendly staff.Itto Pork Buns - ordered as an appetizer and did not disappoint, We chose the Chasu pork which was sweet and savory with a nice blend of flavors from the cucumber and arugula.The buns were soft, moist and fluffy.For the main dishes we order Ramen of course! I ordered the Itto Deluxe Ramen which featured black garlic oil and Chasu pork. My wife ordered the curry ramen which was had a rich curry broth. The deluxe broth was very flavorful and Chasu pork was braised which really added flavor. Both ramen dishes were very good and help replenish my energy after the race.A selection of local brews and cocktails were available as well.Overall a great place for Asian food and casual relaxing dining.Parking: Plenty of parking options near by.“
“On our last night in Ashville we dined at PROPER. We loved it. Everything was delicious. This small restaurant is definitely run by a good chef at the helm of the kitchen. Flavor First! It was one of the best dinner experiences in Ashville.Bone Marrow was fire. Steak was also on point. Scallops where perfect.Highly recommend.“
“Unassuming location with very little parking. The ramen was pretty good, with a decent amount of broth, pork slices and noodles. The noodles had a nice bite and bounce, and the broth was pretty good.We got the oyster tapas, and tempura ice cream. The oysters were delicately fried, but we did think it's a bit overpriced. The ice cream was great though.“
“We had the most delicious dinner of arroz con pollo (perfectly cooked chicken with the most delicious rice and fried plantains) and camarones con coco. Eman was the most attentive, kind server who gave us great recommendations and checked us on us the perfect amount of times. Thank you Eman for taking good care of us! You’re the best!“
“Had been waiting to try Curate and since we decided to celebrate our rehearsal dinner here later this year. Our server Angelica was so lovely and we really enjoyed everything. It is very thoughtfully done and flavors are wonderful. The pulpo was melt in your mouth! The manager was kind enough to bring us a dessert since it was our first time dining and it was also amazing. Can’t wait to bring family back in October.“
