My husband I stopped in for a drink and decided to stay because the bartenders and atmosphere was so inviting! So glad we did, because the entrees we ordered were as good as our handcrafted drinks! Beautiful, romantic restaurant in the heart of the mountains!

This is the best restaurant in western North Carolina. No competition. We have bounced around the area from Cashiers to Asheville and nothing compares. It can be a little pricey but the cocktails and food is worth every dollar.

Such a pleasant surprise! Everything was perfect from the gilled octopus, meatballs, bolognese, old fashion and espresso martini! The ambience and decor are warm snd welcoming. The staff is friendly and attentive. We will be back very soon and will bring some friends.

Overall, it was an okay experience. The table that we were sat at was right next to the front door and kitchen which didn’t provide a pleasant experience. We booked a reservation for 8:15 and felt rushed from the moment we sat down. Reservations should end at 7:30 if that is the case.

BEST NIGHT EVER! A million out of 10 recommend! My husband and I really needed a night out of the house and finally made it here after 4 years of recommendations. Shared a bottle of wine, appetizer, entree, dessert and cocktails. Everything was out of this world, (shout out to our server for recommendations- the blonde one…sorry for not remembering your name!). Music playlist was on point- we felt like they curated it just for us. Every staff member in house was **crushing it** and we want to be friends with all of them! Outstanding atmosphere and decor; love the attention to detail. Cannot emphasize enough how badly we needed tonight and how every.single.moment was PERFECT! Even the hostess made our night! Thank you all, cannot wait to come back soon! 💓🥹💓

Fine dining in Sylva yes you read that correctly. Love Karen's meatballs and the pastas are great. Don't miss the wine bar next door- same owners.

Very small and cozy. Unfortunately, the temperature was like a freezer in there. So uncomfortable. Grilled Caesar salad was pretty good. Meatballs appetizer was just ok. I had the braised beef cheeks over polenta. It was so salty that I only ate one bite. Had to send it back. I really wanted this restaurant to have delivered, but sadly it wasn’t close.

I must say we where quite disappointed. We planned our anniversary dinner expecting an exceptional experience. The atmosphere and service where great. The food was much less than expected.... wine list is great, our fried cheese app was the best part of the evening.. we both had pasta mains. She had bolognese that was ok, I had the local mushroom and asparagus . The sauce tasted like a marsalla mix from a bag. Both our sauces where way over salted.....will try again ...

Really great little spot. Service was great and food was excellent. I love the atmosphere of the place. Highly recommend for date night. No complaints at all. Meatballs are a must try. The wine selection is also good and not ridiculously priced.

Amazing, thoughtful food, that was so beautiful to savor. That Olive Branch Martini is worth the trip alone, so delish. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy and the staff go above and beyond to make the service exceptional.
Top notch food, service, cocktails, & mocktails. Lily helped us out with our reservation issue that was due to the system and not the restaurant. Many thanks for a fantastic birthday!

Absolutely phenomenal service: from the hostess to the bartender to the waiter. The atmosphere is dark and speakeasy-esque. The food is so good, maybe the best pork belly I’ve ever had. It was definitely not traditional Italian food, but that’s not a knock. The cheese/fruit appetizer and my wife’s pasta dish were also amazing. We will absolutely be back.

Always a fabulous, elevated experience. I’ll admit I sometimes have to google things on the menu - that’s how you know the chef knows what they’re doing 😂🙌 lots of fascinating dishes and ingredients that aren’t common at “Americanized” Italian restaurants. Foodie heaven!
