Amazing service by Sarah, such a unique restaurant that used to be a gas station and fresh, Local food. I gave food a 4 vs 5. Because there were no vegetarian or vegan entrees in the menu, nor was there fresh fish.That said, The sides were expertly crafted- including a vegetarian onion bisque, Caesar salad, beet salad and a crispy Brussels sprouts (that stayed crispy!). They specially made a fettuccine primavera for us on the fly.So worthwhile to take a lovely drive from Asheville to Marshall!

Restaurant for the rich! Way too overpriced for the food!

First time my wife and I have been here. What a wonderful place to eat. Atmosphere was great! And the food beyond a doubt the best we’ve had in the area. The price is well worth the visit! The setting of having the diner located in an old gas station was genius. It really made me believe I was back in time. No detail missed on the ambiance. We ate at outside dining on a cold night and it was perfect. They showed us to the table, put down seating pads in each chair under a covered dining area with plenty of heaters to stay warm. They also had extra lap blankets for our legs. Wow they thought of everything! My meal starter with seasonal mulled wine that was perfectly made. My meal was sea bass over risotto rice and vegetables. It was crazy how perfect it was cooked. To perfection and not overdone and although we were in a gas station it felt like a fine dining experience. Folks everything we ate was beyond good. This is the place if you want to get out and have a change with great food and great atmosphere. We loved it! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!We left pics of the appetizers and crispy Brussels here. Hope this helps everyone with their decision to dine.

Well worth the drive. So refreshing to have a great meal without the Asheville tourist vibe.
This is one of the best places to eat in western North Carolina. It’s such a gem to have in Marshall and worth the drive if you’re in Asheville or Weaverville area. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu and the staff is always so friendly. It’s definitely a fave spot of mine.
What to say. The food is excellent, the service is perfect and super friendly. The setting is special.We all had different plates and not one was disappointing.What a delight to have dinner here.We will be back, no doubt.

I have to admit it, I read the menu descriptions online and thought it sounded really good. When my wife and I were looking for the restaurant we passed by it the first time. The navigator turned us around and we sat in front of the place staring at each other, we were both thinking was this a wise choice? It looked a little starved for attention on the outside, really starved for attention. Not the sort of restaurant we frequent. We decided yes. When we walked inside our opinions hadn’t changed but we stuck it out. We ordered some Focaccia and French Onion soups. The bread was made in house and it was a delightful sour dough Focaccia, perfect. The onion soup was delicious as well. We quickly repented of our opinion. The wife wasn’t very hungry so she ordered an appetizer of Shrimp Alexander large butterflied shrimp with a tasty tangy sauce delish. I ordered the Blue Crab Carbonara. A perfectly light cream sauce that complemented the crab and smoky bacon this dish was executed to perfection and the crab was plentiful. After dinner desserts. A lemon curd tart and Apple bread pudding with caramel, apple butter and whipped cream. YUM! Service was just as excellent, very attentive with excellent pace. This will now be an annual stop for us in the fall.

Never disappointed in the menu, service or the taste and quality of the food. I highly recommend visiting. It's one of Marshall's top places to eat.

I ordered the shrimp, scallops and grit cakes. It was served with vegetables and a yummy sauce. I also had the milk stout beer and a lemon dessert to go. It's the best meal, beer and dessert I've had during my trip to North Carolina. The atmosphere is very unique and interesting. The appearance from the street does not give you a clue how wonderful the dining experience will be. I wish I could post a picture of my meal. It was beautiful.
