Food was good, pricey but still very good. Our server was a bit in the weeds so service was not as spot on as it has been on our past visits but that will not keep us from going back.

We were set as soon as we got there and a waitress came over immediately to get drinks. The wine was great and so was the food. Missy was our server and she was amazing! Everything was great from beginning to end!

We got to the restaurant a little early and they seated us anyway. It was nice that we didn’t have to wait until our reservation time. Our server did a great job the entire meal. The baked Brie was exceptional.

My food was cold when it got to my table so had to be sent back. I did not like the green bean casserole. For the amount of money we paid for dinner, it was dissapointing!

So disappointed! We waited an hour to get our food. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but there was no acknowledgment from the wait staff or apology. The waitress only came by once to give us water and didn't say anything. My dish, the 26 dollar"Mac and cheese" was the worst dish I have ever had in a restaurant. It was mostly breadcrumbs, and the flavor was not good. My husband had the bison burger. It was mediocre and had a couple of fries with it for 25 dollars. My daughter did also. My other daughter had the Cornish game hen, which was a really odd mix of basil and tomato sauce. None of us liked our dishes. 126 dollars for the worst meal and service ever. I love writing good reviews and usually overlook the average experiences. This was so bad. I really hope they change things or people are aware. There are so many options in Asheville that are spectacular. Don't eat here! At least not for dinner. I didn't see most dishes on the menu people seemed to enjoy. No shepherds pie or Reuben so there must be a different lunch menu.

Or first visit to Cedric's Tavern and will certainly be back. Food was delicious except for my fries, which were not fresh. Server took care of it immediately though. Menu is a bit pricey, but it was expected while on the Biltmore grounds.

Burgers looked great and wished I had ordered one. My Rueben was mediocre at best. I tried my wife’s fish and chips. Had I ordered that, I would have sent it back! This was only my second time at Cedric’s. First time was great, this trip will make me consider alternatives.

Not great but not bad. With the cost of eating out and the choices out there I wouldn’t go back again. It was just close to the Biltmore where we were visiting. Just expected it to be a little better than normal because of that.

Sunday party of four. We absolutely have to dine here when we visit Biltmore. We are three adults and a booster seat for the toddler. We had the bbq wings, cheese and charcuterie tray, wild rice w mushroom soup, and the soup of the day, creamy sweet potato, and a salad. Grilled cheese and fries for our two-yr-old. We also enjoyed mama’s yellow Pil -Pilsner and Tito’s dirty martini. Because our reservation was for 8:45pm we intended to only have drinks and dessert, but they were nice enough to seat us nearly an hour early, yay Thank You! Our server, Jason was helpful and accommodating, a nice gentleman! We were pleased to see families with young children enjoy the evening and found that there were plenty of adult couples enjoying their night out as well.

Anna was an attentive server. We sent back my granddaughter’s grilled cheese because the cheese wasn’t melted. Without hesitation, Anna had another made and it was perfect. I had the cast iron skillet salmon with sweet potato puree and fall veggies. It was spectacular! And of course, my wine completed the meal.

The restaurant was slow to begin with, and it took a while before we actually got someone to come to our table. The rest of the night was kind a like that, slow. The food was OK maybe another day it would be better, but we weren’t real excited about it. The large salad was on a small plate, which caused the ingredients to fall off the side of the plate; and someone forgot about the dressing.Our waiter at times was very tentative and nice, but he was a little disappointing.

Had high hopes! I had the NY strip - the steak had about 2 oz of just fat chunks and smothered so deeply in the fig sauce (which tasted like the base of a BBQ sauce) you couldn’t enjoy the meat. The potatoes came with blue cheese but didn’t include it in the description. Large tastes like that should be called out. Maybe personal preference - but a stronger ginger beer in the cranberry mule, it’s extremely mild.

My husband and I were there for lunch and decided to try something different as an appetizer. We ordered the crab and artichoke dip with toasted baguette pieces. The dip was very dry and had a thick layer of bread crumbs on it. The baguette slices were very hard and also very dry. The burger was great but that appetizer was pretty awful.
