We had the Pomegranate Braised Pork Spring Rolls, Avocado, Za'atar, Mango Mojo as our appetizer and it was amazing. We both had the hanger steak and it was also amazing. This Resturant is very unique and cozy. We absolutely loved the experience and will be back the next time we’re in Ashville.

Opted not to make a reservation as Resy had openings available every fifteen minutes. That must've been a mistake, because the hostess strongly suggested that we just sit at the bar. I dont mind bar seating at all, but it felt almost as if she had profiled us. Service at the (very empty) bar was very slow- it took ages to order our first drink and even longer to receive them. The lady bartender was super nice and personable, but the guy (who served us most) was not our favorite. We enjoyed all of the food we ordered. The brussels were perfectly crispy and flavorful, with a delightful chorizo aioli. The halloumi skewer was fantastic, but who doesn't love cheese? (Mushroom was a tad too acidic for my liking.) The shakshuka was nice but the cinnamon was a little too overpowering. We had it with the short rib add-on, and that was so tender and good. The gnocchi was also enjoyable, but the best dish we got was the scallops. They were cooked to perfection! This restaurant is very dark and beautiful, perfect for a date night, but I would definitely recommend making a reservation, even if Resy says they're not booked...

A fair number of vegetarian items on the menu. The gnocchi is just awesome. Arugula endive salad was wonderful. Stacy is a wonderful server. Prices are very reasonable compared to the overpriced restaurants in downtown Asheville. It is a huge, cavernous place with multiple types of seating. Avoid the patio outdoors, it is damp, isolated and with no vibe. Inside, the a/c is yanked up to the max making it very uncomfortable. Look for a warm cozy spot and enjoy the sangria.

First time there, sampled many items from the menu (8 to be exact) everything was fantastic! Great service and atmosphere!

We were delighted with the ambience, food and service at this Tapas restaurant. The ambience is pure Spain,is delightfully dim lit with real flames and is well furnished. The tapas selection is terrific and all of the ones we had (meatballs, chicken, mushrooms and olives) were very different. Wine selection is extensive. Service is really quite good. Don’t expect your evening to be cheap, but do expect to be pleased. We highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a large party and the seating was ideal - a large booth in the back that accommodated all of us. The food was good, came out, for the most part, in a timely fashion. The cocktails were all good and the atmosphere was intriguing. The hike to the bathroom was described as an "Indiana Jones Expedition." Be sure to have your phone flashlight ready as the rooms are very dark. The only downside was our lackluster server - not sure if the 22% already added gratuity was a consideration or if she was just not very invested in us. She just had no personality, or engagement with her guests. I would return, but hope to get a different server.

Fun spot for tapas. We chose a bunch of different dishes and shared. Flavors jumped off the plates. Good options from vegan to seafood to meats. Was a fun time for our group of 7. Lots of space at our table and we did our best to fill it up with lots of plates! No empty plates or stomachs after this. One of the better places we ate in Asheville. Highly recommended especially for a group of family or friends but I imagine a couple would enjoy it as well.

Four of us dined here on a Friday night (with a reservation), and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The interior is quite interesting (a bit dark, which is good for hiding wrinkles ;) ), and we felt like we were back in Spain. Our group shared the spring rolls, carrots, chickpeas, patatas bravas, mussels (plentiful), chicken skewer, scallops (3), olives, and gnocchi. Each dish was a delicious adventure. Our server Shauna was very attentive and friendly.

Delicious but for the high prices you pay, the portions are teeny tiny!! I know what tapas is but the portion sizes here are ridiculously small.
There were three of us and we took our waitress’s suggestions for what dishes to order. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. We had five savory plates and one dessert and it was all wonderful. We were visiting from out of town and we’re very happy that we don’t live in Asheville because if we did, we would be eating there every night. Fabulous restaurant, do yourself a favor and have a meal there.

Amazing ambience and Food. First time her and will be going back and recommending. From the service to food everything was top notch. I recommend making a reservation. Its much larger inside than you can imagine from the small side door you enter. It feels like its all lit by candles making it very romantic feeling inside. My boyfriend and I ordered a total of 6 items plus dessert we shared and we were full. Cant wait to go back and try more small plates.

Lovely and romantic atmosphere with REAL candles instead of the fakes used now in so many restaurants. We had the amazing Pomegranate Braised Pork Spring Rolls and Smoked Lamb, paired perfectly with a Le Cadeau Pinot Noir and a Tempanillo.
