    Great little restaurant in downtown by the Arcade. My second visit didn’t disappoint. Try the Grilled Peaches, awesome and light, great flavor. Amazing fire grilled steaks and perfect sides to compliment. Too full for dessert. A must in Asheville.

    In general the food was good with the exception of the calamari which was so chewy it was hard to swallow. No one removed appetizer plates until end of meal. My medium rare steak was not even pink. It was my husband’s birthday, which the server knew and no complimentary dessert was offered. Not sure this place warrants a return.

    We were pleasantly surprised by the adorable outdoor seats and quality of our food. We would highly recommend the steak and fingerling potatoes!

    Known as a steakhouse, they also have a great selection of other options. I went for a selection of small dishes and was pleased with all. This site is also best looking restaurant in Asheville.

    I had high expectations and what I got was a bit below what I expected. My wagyu coulotte was thick and had this big fat cap and although I ordered medium it came out rare. It wad not the best cut for the price. The wood char and smoke flavor were great on the meat, but all the sides tasted the same with this intense smoky, overpowering profile. So beets and mushrooms, although when ordered usually bring a nice balance to the dish, this time made it all on the same note. I missed the simplicity of pure, well executed flavors each of the ingredients can bring. My son liked his food, bone marrow was very good appetizer, but I would not come back. J

    Perhaps one of the best meals we’ve had. The gnocchi with rhubarb should not be missed. Excellent duck. Great Carrot cake and a good wine list. Warm service. Should out to Juliet.

    The food was outstanding and the service provided by our waitress Tess and the Hostess was excellent. The highly offensive, rude, and unprofessional conduct of a staffer named Michael was inexcusable and tainted our impression of the restaurant, and is entirely responsible for the low service rating. However many awards a restaurant may receive does not change the fact that restaurants exist to serve their customers, losing sight of this reality will threaten the viability of any establishment.
