Excellent food, excellent seevice. Make sure you have a reservation ; this superb restaurant is almost always packed, and for a good reason. Entrance on the side; it looks like a dive, but is so not!

R Watkins

The number one best place to eat in Asheville. Worth taking a cab. Can't walk from downtown. Not impressive on the outside but amazing food and service. Never have been disappointed.

Conrad Doucette

Some of the best food I've ever had. It's good to share here—you'll want to try so much, but be careful, as much of the food is super rich! A salad as part of your meal is a good idea.

Kristine C

Visiting from NYC and this place is 💯 grilled Pork tenderloin and sweet breads are incredible. Arugula salad was also so good!

Anthony Duran

Had a DJ flipping vinyls of fifties n' early sixties dance music and it was awesome. Got to dance with a lovely girl only to never hear from her again lol.

Robert Brereton

It's all about the scallops with uncream corn , heirloom tomatoes , locally foraged bolete mushrooms , and watermelon . Finish with some dried cherry coffee creme brûlée with locally roasted coffee

David Turley

Ate here on vacation last week. Mussels were a "small plate " and there were at least 2 dozen of them. Terrific salad first and steak tartar finished us off. Best meal we've had out in a long time. Read more

Make a reservation if possible, order the beef tartare if you are a carnivorous being. Wonderful menu, excellent service and a staggeringly affordable wine list. Cheers!
