“A surprise jewel in Candler!! Made to order everything so dont be in a hurry. Creative chef withmenu changes regularly.chicken bites are the best anywhere! Burgers just right. Full bar and nice wine list. Lovely owners. The best Candler has to offer for sure.“

“We were greeted warmly at the door, and our server was extremely gracious and provided wine samples to help us choose the right bottle. The raw oysters were fresh and bright, the Big Bowl of Greens was a terrific salad to share. The NC Trout and Pork Schnitzel entrees were flawless. We shared a Black Forest Cake for dessert. In summary, it was a perfect dining experience.“

“We found this little gem by chance and were not disappointed. Great atmosphere, kid friendly (albeit its an adult place). We sat at a small corner table by the bar. We enjoyed some sharable plates, great wines, mocktails for the kids, excellent wines and my wife a great Vesper made by Luci (the bartender). But the cherry on top was the fact that she made a perfect Irish Coffee - a simple drink, but buttered by 99% of the bar tenders. We will be back.“

“The food and the service here is top notch. I enjoyed absolute best Fried Green Tomatoes I've ever had. They are layered with pimento cheese atop a smoky tomato bbq jam. The Vegan Empanadas were a hit and the Lobster Paella is to live for. This is fine dining with an easy laid back vibe.Honestly I enjoyed one of the best meals I've had in a very long time.Vegetarian options: A couple of vegetarian options.“

“We were recommended to eat here by a friend and we absolutely loved it. We had our 11 month old son with us and they accommodated us by all means. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town. The brisket Mac & cheese was delicious!“

“This is one of our new favorite restaurants! Food was delicious, perfectly cooked, flavorful, filling and love the farm to table unique menu! Drinks were carefully crafted and delish! Service was impeccable from our waitress Reign and every employee/manager we encountered. We were seated close to the kitchen and impressed by the organization and communication between the cooks. The vibe of the restaurant was unique, romantic and interesting. Def a must to ask about the history of the restaurant and the vision!“

“Excellent and professional service, starting from check in to complete table service. They all kindly acknowledged my wife's birthday. However, the price of the meal was expensive, and the portions of the selected items were small. The overall quality of the meal was very good, but quanity of prepared items did not match the price. I guess this is because we were dining at the Biltmore. You are paying for the experience.“

“This place is awesome! Did the guided tour and was mesmerized. Shared some appetizers for lunch (wings were the best I’ve had anywhere), had a few beers and hung out at the fire pit a while afterwards. Really cool experience! Planning to go back many times.“

“In Asheville to get married and everyone suggested Posana. They were right! The cuisine was perfection in every regard, and the staff made our night even more special with champagne, tasting spoons, and even a signed card! Highly recommend for a top notch dining experience.“

“We loved the 45-minute brewhouse tour for a bachelorette party! It was just enough information and time for people who are mildly interested in beer but don't need to get into too much detail. Unfortunately, the production facility is not active on the weekends so we couldn't see beer being made. The live music in the pavilion was a great treat too!“

“First time here and we came for brunch! Very friendly staff and quick service! I ordered the shrimp and grits and my boyfriend had the bread pudding waffle and chicken. Both were impeccable. And they did not skimp on the shrimp in the grits! That creole sauce on top of the dish was chefs kiss. Can’t wait to come here again!“

“Absolutely fantastic place to eat. Each meal is incredibly flavorful, and the ambiance is pleasantly quirky. It is incredibly busy for a good reason, but the staff work efficiently to get you through the line. This is a must if you're in the Asheville area.“

“This is the spot to go to when in Asheville or as a local looking for a restaurant who still prioritizes the ambiance and unmatched quality of food. Steph, Ralph and Tony are owners who care and love what they do. Easily my favorite spot to eat in Asheville. Not a bad choice on the menu. Ralph’s knowledge on wine is unreal and def worth listening to for pairing.“

“Yummy place where the food has that quality taste like you would experience if your friends or family cooked a meal for everyone. Warm and cozy vibe, feels like you're eating a meal at home. You can tell the food is right off the farm and doesn't have that tacky artificial taste that you experience at some places. Thanks for cooking for us you guys, keep doing ur thing! :)“

“My husband and I have been visiting Asheville for ten years and have walked by this restaurant many times. We found out what we have been missing. This will be a must do on any future visit. The food was outstanding and delicious. Service was outstanding!“

“The food was fantastic and the service was excellent! Will definitely be returning soon.Parking: There is free parking along the street and a handful of Parking spaces in the restaurant's parking lot. I've been here several times and I've always found a spot in 10 mins or less.“

“Went back to The Admiral last night and had to review after going for over 12 yrs. Phenomenal food and ambiance. Huge salad followed by perfect piece of salmon and multiple small plates that completed every taste point. The Admiral has always been a favorite and current crew as great as ever“

“A friend told us about this place the first time we vacationed in Asheville and we were so impressed that we came back again with the whole family on another trip. The tacos are amazing and unique, not like any other regular taco place. Everything is fresh and so tasty! My favorite was the Korean beef taco with wasabi! Lots of tables to eat at, outdoor dining available and ample parking. What more could you ask for?Dietary restrictions: Almost everything on the menu is gluten free, and is marked with a star on the large chalkboard menu. This is great because I have a gluten allergy and it is sometimes not as easy in other places to see what is gluten free. It was absolutely delicious!!“

“This was our first time in Asheville and I am so glad we chose to come here! You know with a such a small menu all of the choices are going to be great! The atmosphere was really cool and all of the food was spectacular. We went with recommendations from our waitress and were not disappointed. My favorite was the root vegetable panna cotta! We would definitely come back next time we are in Asheville. I would love to try the full tasting menu!“

“We had brunch here around 10am on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately. There was enough delay before being greeted by our waiter that we had looked over the entire menu and went ahead and ordered food with our drinks. Everything came out in a reasonable time. The French toast only comes with 1 piece which is unfortunate because it was very good. The eggs were under seasoned, but the portions were very generous because of the amount of sides given. All of the food was good but you are definitely paying a premium for the location and atmosphere (eating outside on a patio downtown).“

“Nice space to come hang out and eat tasty food. My only feedback is the brussels could’ve been more crispy, but our entrees were great. My partner said it was the best blackened chicken sandwich she’s had. We enjoyed the warmer lighting and music! We just moved to the area, this is somewhere we’ll return to for sure!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free buns“

“Anjuli was our server and she was wonderful. She was quick to correct a food issue without excuse or blame. Her goal was to make it right for the customer and she did. Her handling of this made what could've been a negative experience, a very positive one.“

“Don’t sleep on Early Girl! Rachel, our server was so much fun and the food was incredible! We live right down the street in West Asheville and have come occasionally, but this will definitely be on a regular rotation, and you can take the at from an Asheville local. My boy had the Apple Cinnamon Bacon Biscuit French and it was the hit of the table. 5 stars, highly recommendDietary restrictions: My wife is gluten free and the fried chicken and waffles being gluten free regardless is very good!Kid-friendliness: 2 boys, ages 9 and 7, wide boothsWheelchair accessibility: My mother in law uses a walker and it was really accessible“

“Exquisite entrees! The salmon and chicken breast have delicately balanced sauces that bring out the flavor of each entree. The side items were delicious. The brussell sprouts were crunchy while delivering an aromatic feast to our palettes. The restaurant is pretty. The bar is inside the restaurant. It did get noisy but that was understandable. Basketball championship games were on the TVs. Kelly, our waitress, did a very good job of serving us.“

“My boss took us out for a nice office dinner one night during the Southern Conference Basketball Tournament. It was very nice, but super expensive (not that I had to pay) and took forever. We were there over three hours. I guess if that's the mood you're in for, it's a good place, but another guy and I had a lot of work left to do for the day. My meal was good, the cabbage and citrus beet salad much better than the fish, though! I had never had cabbage cooked like that or beets and whipped feta either, but it was tasty!“

“Stumble here for great late night food. Philly cheesesteak and grilled cheese were life saving inclusions to our evening. Fries were better than expected, alcohol selection was perfect. Lots of events but you're not surrounded by music or stand-up comedy if you don't want to be. If you are a lost soul in the heart of Asheville in the dead of night this is your lighthouse.“

“This is a very unassuming, casual place. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I had the Blue Plate Special (a chicken sammy with fries) and a Diet Coke. My wife ordered the pot pie with a locally produced Devil's Foot ginger beer. Our meals were both delicious and the portions were very ample. The service was good and all of the staff was friendly and helpful.“

“We had a full morning of sightseeing and needed a bite to tied us over until our dinner reservations that night. We chose to have a light snack in the Library Lounge. My Honey and I split an order of Lobster Roll and Short Rib Sliders. There were two of each and light enough to not ruin our appetite for dinner. They have live entertainment here every night. Our first night they had someone playing the piano, the afternoon we stopped in for a snack they had a young man on acoustic guitar. Both were very talented and enthusiastic. The views of the surrounding mountains were amazing and the food was very Delicious. Our server was very friendly, helpful on our selections and provided impeccable service. We enjoyed our experience in the Library Lounge very much. The atmosphere was very comfortable and delightful.“

“Fun place to visit. Great views from the rooftop, some outside seating although there may be some reservations needed for certain sections.The staff was super friendly and very helpful in making suggestions and getting drinks served quickly.“

“We had Sunday brunch at the bistro. Beautiful restaurant and superb service. Brunch is a price fixed meal, which includes appetizer, entrée, dessert. Both appetizers were excellent, including deviled eggs and salad. Both of us had shrimp and grits, which was good but much too salty. Would not order again. Dessert consisted of three Tiny mini desserts, which were pretty good. Overall, we enjoyed the brunch and will certainly go back.“

“Employees were really friendly and the cook was great! The food came out perfect for a Waffle House. My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves. It was a very pleasant experience.Kid-friendliness: My daughter loved watching the cook make the food in front of us. The food is definitely kid-friendly.“

“Perfect spot for breakfast or lunch! Tasted very fresh and similar to what I’ve had in Paris! Especially the lemon! Soo good! The savory were also so very good and flavorful! Very generous portions and lovely, kind service! Loved our visit here!“

“I had the catfish Reuben. Everything fit a classic reuben. Large pieces of catfish, great slaw, thousand Island dressing all fit Great together. We also had a burger that was a 10. Cooked perfectly. Tasted wonderful. Fast great service. Definitely going back.“
