   This is the third or fourth time we have eaten at Milton's. We reserved for 6:00 PM hoping for an outdoor table on a very pleasant evening. We were given our choice of tables in the rear courtyard, which was less than half full. Our server was excellent, very welcoming, and eager for conversation. We knew from previous visits what to expect from the menu, we shared a salad one of us had the market catch the other their tasty fried chicken. Excellent wine by the glass choices and a huge "peach cobbler'ish" desert completed the dinner. When we finished, after 7:00 PM the courtyard tables were full. Milton's is a great escape from Asheville, when you want a less frenetic pace with great staff and food.

   I eat at Milton‘s every time I visit Black Mountain. Love the old charismatic feeling of the whole building, restaurant, bar, sitting areas and especially the outdoor patio with a fireplace. The chef really knows his stuff, I tried trout for the first time and it was superb. Served with perfectly cooked roasted potatoes and squash. We were served by Riley a lovely professional young woman and honestly have no negatives about our special dining experience. experience.

   Milton's Black MountainResponded 2 days agoKaryn, thank you for being a loyal customer, we truly appreciate your business. We are glad to hear you loved our trout, and that Riley provided excellent service as well. We hope to see you back again next time you're in town!

   Milton's has been a favorite for several years. The food has always been very good but the service has been lacking at times. I am happy to say that on this visit we the service has improved - with one possible exception. We arrived 15 minutes before the time of our reservation, and were told they were very busy (with a special event) although you could see many open tables in the restaurant area, and we were asked to wait in the bar area. We got a drink and sat back in the lobby near the host station. We watched other parties arrive and watched them being seated. I finally went up to the host station and inquired and were told we could now be seated. The host led us to a table in the lobby area, but quickly saw I wasn't happy with this table and asked to be seated on the side porch which is much more attractive and even has white table clothes. We could see several open tables. We were finally seated, and from there service and food was great. The host function is one we have had problems with in the past and sorry to say, still needs a bit of work.

   Milton's Black MountainResponded 6 days agoAshvillelocal, thank you for your several visits, we truly appreciate you being a loyal customer. We are happy to see you loved your meal and enjoyed our service. Thank you for your feedback about the seating situation, we will certainly pass that along to the team.

   We have been hearing really good things about Milton's for a couple of months now. Living in Asheville, we already have a wide selection of great restaurants, so we had been putting off driving to Black Mountain to give them a try. The meal was definitely worth the drive. Much better than many meals we have had in Asheville and Charlotte this year.

   Milton's Black MountainResponded 6 days agoThat's wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for your very kind words and we're happy to know the drive was worth it and that you enjoyed your meal. We look forward to serving you again soon!

   Our party of 4 had an exceptional dinner on their beautiful outdoor terrace. The muffins, and artisan soup were perfectly crafted, and their trout and local flounder were cooked perfectly. To top it off, our server Willa was knowledgeable, efficient and timed our meal perfectly. A true find in Black Mountain-only 30 minutes from Asheville-so worth the drive! They have an outstanding chef/baker, Lori, who also made peach crumble to order-fresh, fresh, fresh❣️

   We came for the trout and it was perfectly prepared and a nice portion size. Excellent. Sides of potato and veggies were also nicely prepared. Service was a bit unsophisticated, but did a good job. Enclosed porch was a nice setting. We'd return.

    Beautiful outdoor seating. Not all items on the menu were available. Corn fritters were good, as were the corn muffins. Mushroom toast was tasty and had a generous number of mushrooms. Trout was good, accompanied by fingerling potatoes. Shrimp and grits were flavorful but grits were too coarsely ground for a pleasing texture. Gin and tonic was very weak on gin, and the tonic was flat or watered down. Burrata "salad" was oddly served in a deep bowl with no greens at all. The burrata was low quality, not creamy-- tasted more like mozzarella and was set atop balsamic and a couple of tiny clumps of wet, not freshly cooked, caramelized onions and finished off with some strawberry slices that had been cut so long that the texture was as though they had been frozen: you know, slimy. I assume the other garnish was pink peppercorns, which didn't really add much flavor. Presentation was just sloppy. We were supposedly comped a dessert, which was supposed to be chess pie but arrived half-inch thin and hard as a rock, not like any chess pie we had ever had, as it could not be cut and eaten with a fork. We ordered two slices, as the server said that the one she was going to comp us would be very small, not enough for two to share. As it turned out, we were charged for both of the slices. I will say, that when picked up and eaten like a cookie, the dessert was tasty, if a bit cold and extremely chewy. When we told the server about the condition of the supposed pie, she did not offer us substitutes, as one slice of the pie itself was supposed to be compensation for all the things that were wrong with our meal. We could not believe that we both had been charged for what they called chess pie and did not discover it until we got in the car and compared checks. This could be a wonderful place with better food preparation, attention to plating, and servers more willing to please. We tipped generously despite.

    Milton's Black MountainResponded on July 22, 2022Chris, thank you for your compliments on some of our menu items, but please accept my apologies if not everything was perfect on your visit. We will certainly look into this and correct any issues with your bill. I just direct messaged you to see what I can do to make things right. Can you please take a look when you have a moment so we can discuss this further? Thank you. Angela Furrh, General Manager

    Even though we had not requested it in advance, staff worked to accommodate us outside. The patio is lovely and cheerful. Our service was wonderful. The food was truly outstanding. I order trout every time it’s on the menu and consider myself something of a trout expert :). Their trout may be the best I have ever had - simple and perfectly cooked. I can’t wait to go back to Milton’s.

    When traveling we never never double back but we did and if we could… we’d go there again. The chef is a genius. The food is so creative without being pretentious . The first night we had 2 different apps salad and mkt fish of the day. Deviled egg spread was so flavorful and what a great idea. With that we enjoyed the marinated shrimp salad. The fish was halibut prepared in a wine butter sauce with Swiss char. The flavors were delicate and complimented the fish perfectly. The next time we went we experienced an even more exciting tasting . Yes you can serve barrata with tomatoes but the genius served it with marinated strawberries and onions. I can’t tell you how well they compliment each other. So, you ask, what did he do with the tomatoes??? He served them in a Parmesan type fondue?? I can’t think of any other way to describe it. slightly salted taste from the cheese and the sweet pop of tomato in your mouth was the best food ever. It was topped with toasted seeds/nuts hard to explain but amazing . We had the local trout which was served with a very delicate light sauce that was incredible Desserts??? We’ll here again the creativity runs wild . We had the chocolate cake first night and a corn meal cake that was topped with something similar to a pecan pie but less sweet and no nuts just a dab of fresh sweet whipped cream. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a dinner here

    Milton's needs to hire more experienced wait staff. Our meal was good, but it took an hour from the time we ordered until we were served and they were not that busy. When our dinner finally arrived (that night's special) it was barely warm. The flavor was good, but I do prefer my pan seared fish to be hot when it is served. The waitress was not very attentive and the service was poor. We had to flag down other wait staff to get our drink orders placed and had to ask for water with our meal. When you spend $36 on an entree, you expect better service! The ambience was nice and it was quiet so we could talk without shouting at our table. I have dined at Milton's before and enjoyed it. Now I'm not sure I'll be returning based on our latest dining experience.

Their Memorial Day meal itself had some highlights but the onion rings were way overdone with seasoning and the ribs were kind of dry. All in all, I would say it was a disapointment. If the meal would have been a homerun then the price was inline. Since it wasn't it was a rip.
