We have been going to Posteros since they opened in 2014 and honestly we have not found anywhere better in the Asheville-Greenville area to go out for dinner or lunch. The atmosphere is friendly and the food and service exceptional for any foodie lover.

Absolutely incredible. The food was out of this world good. Atmosphere was great and service was good. Will be back for that Shrimp Scampi!

Postero in downtown Hendersonville North Carolina is a staple in upscale dining for many years. We dined at Postero in 2022 during one of our annual trips to Western North Carolina. We were highly impressed by the quality of ingredients, the presentation, the service and the overall atmosphere. \tFast forward to 2025, we decided to have dinner at Postero and expected to duplicate our previous experience. The initial greeting and overall service has become too sterile at Postero. We received more of a rigid textbook approach rather than a genuine warm welcome. This was highly disappointing. \tThe food, although good, was not innovative. There is nothing wrong with this mentality. The owner/chef chose to stick with the tried and true. Any hints of innovation were approached with extreme caution. This method has proven successful for them. As people say, “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it”. With that said, the Duck Liver Mousse was delicious! This was one of my favorite old-school appetizers. The house pickles were well-balanced. The bright acidy from the brine helped with the rich fattiness of the mousse. The Heritage Farms Pork Chop was perfectly cooked. I disagreed with the choice of French Onion Gravy as the sauce. Pan dripping finished with butter would have been a better approach. Then there was the Shrimp “Scampi” Cacio e Pepe. The Cacio e Pepe was too heavy. It distracted from the enjoyment of Kale & Walnut Pesto. In my opinion, the Pangrattato was not necessary either. \tPostero certainly is one of the better establishments to dine in downtown Hendersonville North Carolina. It is unfortunate that the rigid service we received prevented Postero from reaching a higher rating.

It was absolutely delicious. I had the broccoli cheddar soup, brussel sprouts and shrimp scampi. Others in our party had the pork chop as well as the short ribs. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Don't think twice- make a reservation and go!!!

Excellent service, the food was delicious as were the cocktails. This is a great restaurant on par with the best restaurants in much larger cities.

Upon arrival for our reservation (15 min early) the hostess pointed at the bar and said “you're early go stand over there” . No greeting no smile just pointed. When we were seated she walked over to the table, slapped the menus down like she was in a diner and walked away. This was the most rude behavior I've witness in a supposedly upscale restaurant. My husband and I dine out frequently and always ate kind and expect to be treated the same way. When we shared our frustration with the server (who did an amazing job) the hostess walked up to the table interrupting our conversation and rudely asked the name our reservation was under and walked away. Training is badly needed for an individual that represents the restaurant. The food was mediocre, the atmosphere very loud and cafeteria style. The server was fantastic.

Elizabeth is a fabulous server - attentive without being intrusive and really fun and kind. The food was terrific! Everyone of the six in our party had a different meal. All were really happy. Wine Lucy is excellent thanks for a great night!

We loved dining at Postero on Friday. The short ribs were exceptional as was the fried trout. Will be back

Another wonderful meal at Postero. We always enjoy their twist a traditional dish. We started with oysters which were fresh and had an amazing vinegar/fresh apple sauce to go with them. Really different and loved it! We tried the butternut squash cavatelli which again was fun as the lemon seasoning with the mascarpone was delightful. For main course we had chicken Marsala which was a brined breast with crispy skin serviced with kale, polenta and oyster mushrooms. Again, a fun interpretation of an old favorite and chicken was so juicy. We also had the short rib with mash potatoes and whiskey carrots. Short rib was so tender and the horseradish condiment was outstanding. We took dessert home as we were stuffed! Always a great dinner!

As always, a wonderful meal, Postero never disappoints. They are consistently outstanding in choices and service. I had the steak option which was the short rib and husband had the cornmeal crusted trout. I have to go back soon for the duck confit pot pie before it leaves the menu!
We were early for our reservation but they seated us right away. If you don't have a reservation, you should get there early to grab a spot at the small bar or at the high top tables. Our server, Elizabeth, was great. She was attentive throughout our meal, made sure we had everything we needed and never rushed us. The oysters and our main courses were delicious but we've never had a bad meal at Postero so this should go without saying.

Whipped brie beet dish was phenomenal as well as NOLA shrimp. Dark Chocolate Pot de Creme was outstanding. Service was exceptional. Building is unique in an old bank. Open kitchen is interesting. A little chilly upstairs. Overall, a wonderful experience. Will be back.

We always enjoy dining at Postero! The menu is interesting, varied and well priced for the area. Our foursome enjoyed sharing a carrot pesto and a shrimp appetizer. Each of us had something different for dinner...the short ribs, shrimp Pasta, duck pot pie and fried trout. All of the mains were delicious!
