Avery is the best bartender!
Lowlands was a fantastic find! I chose it because it was within walking distance to an event, though it wasn’t initially recommended. I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, food, and exceptional service. We sat at the upstairs bar, where Avery took great care of us. Thank you, Avery, for making such a great first impression! We’ll definitely be back.
We had a terrific family cocktail hour and dinner tonight. There were 15 of us from two years old to 70. The cocktails and appetizers were excellent as were the entrees.
Graham did a superb job with everyone — patient with the kids and knowledgeable with the adults about the history of the building as well as the food. All in all a great evening!
Changed our reservation.
Our reservation made 8 weeks earlier were pre-empted by an Asheville wedding party displaced by the hurricane. We would happily given our table up IF the restaurant had asked us. Rather, they announced the change, without an apology, when we arrived. The food was good, the service was attentive, and the manager – later – comped the drinks. Lesson: poor management speaks louder than food quality and wait staff service.

Great spot if you are looking to get oysters. The gentleman shucking the oysters was very knowledgeable and his recommendation on what to try was spot on. I would definitely Chek it out if you are in town

Loved the place, the food and service, the vibe of it. The food was fresh
We had their dinner platter with wine.
I really liked their elegant silverware (compare to other places) and the thin walled wine/water glasses.

Super cool atmosphere but extremely over priced. Ordered the caviar and it was good but it came with pedestrian potato chips and they charged $65 . You can go to 167 Raw and get much better accoutrements that make it well worth the $! We also ordered the tuna crudo that came with…. Guess what!! Ruffles w ridges (pedestrian for the price!!) Don’t waste your time or $. Super sad that they could not just make the effort to add something that better suited each dish and the price we paid. Some toasted bread, like we had at Lowland across the alley w sardines would have been 100 times better. So sorry, but we will not be back. The server was fabulous, the atmosphere was great but the food failed.
