"Ordered the lobster bisque via delivery as I’ve done several times over the years (seriously it’s the best thing on the menu) and what I got was FILLED with raw herbs. Every bite included a hard bit of stem/leaf from thyme along with the overwhelming flavor. I’m used to the chive garnish however this was not that. I called to see about a possible refund because I couldn’t eat half of it. Apparently the person who answered the phone was “very confused because the soup always comes with chives”. I agree, but because of the circumstances I have attached a photo so you can see what I’m talking about."

"The food was delightful! Megan, our server was great! She was very attentive and knowledgeable. The restaurant is warm and beautiful. This is a must visit restaurant when in Ashville! We will go again next time we're in town."

"Amazing food and staff! Woody and Brad were exceptional! We had so many things and shared them. Shrimp and Grits, Lobster Bisque, Cauliflower, Truffle Fries, Petite Fillet, desserts, drinks, and more were fantastic! Some of the best food we've ever had! Definitely recommend coming here!!"

"Jane was our server this evening, and she was wonderful. Very charismatic and sharp, proactive with explaining the menu and clearly knowledgeable about the dishes they serve. This was a fantastic, well rounded dining experience. The menu (for this fall) was perfectly sized and creative while also staying grounded. I got the Salmon, and…wow. I usually don’t order salmon because I haven’t found a place that makes it better than my mom’s. This dish was amazing, and perfectly portioned with a unique mix of flavors that worked really well together. I also tried the lobster bisque and it was great too. Lovely dessert selection too, they make everything in-house, down to the creative ice cream of the day. Presentation of the plates was also gorgeous. It was busy, a reservation is definitely recommended, but the staff managed very well considering. The energy was great and it was clear everyone was enjoying themselves. The decor was cozy while also feeling up-to-date and clean. Good, gentle lighting. Music was good volume too. I would definitely come back to this place and highly recommend it to anyone in the area! Thanks to the staff for great service and the kitchen for all their hard work."
