- CChristineVIPCharlotte •20 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had a great dinner on the porch at Edison! The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The gorgeous view can’t be beat! Our service was excellent and the manager went above and beyond after we meandered away without our leftovers to take home. When we realized we had left them, we went back and they had already been tossed. However, the manager insisted on making us a fresh dish to take home. That is categorized as “unreasonable hospitality”. And if you haven’t read that book, read it!! Good customer service makes all the difference!

- LLesaOrlando / Central Florida East •3 reviews5.0Dined on May 11, 2025The food was amazing! I got the blackened mai with the crispy parmesan potatoes (which were awesome!) with a Cesar salad, and my husband got the shrimp and grits which he said were the best grits he'd ever had! Our waitress was Tremaine and she was right on top of everything, very friendly and extremely nice with a great attitude! Next time we are in Ashville, we will definitely come back here to eat!More infoTupelo Honey - Downtown AshevillePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Southern• Asheville•4.5

We have brunch at this location regularly and the food is consistently good. The bartender, Sam Clark is the best! She always provides top quality service AND with a smile.More infoTupelo Honey - South AshevillePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Southern• Asheville•4.5
