First time back inside and it was great. Food and service are as good as ever. Surprisingly good Pinot Noir on tap!
Simply the best!!!
First time at Reids and was impressed with the food. Everything we ordered was delicious and very flavorful. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Great experience!
Reid’s always shines!
Incredible oysters, cocktails, appetizers, and entrées. We loved everything, felt welcome and safe. Sourcing of ingredients is local and top notch. Best food in the high country.
Food and service is always fantastic at Reid’s!
Great place for breakfast or brunch. Everything is local and fresh. They're masters at preparing eggs.
Our server was attentive and extremely polite. She took good care of us. The food was good, nice presentation and quality.
Reid’s Cafe is our favorite spot for date night. It has become our tradition for celebrating accomplishments, anniversaries, or birthdays. The team make us feel welcome and at home. The food is excellent, a delicious and creative showcase of local farms’ seasonal harvest. I love to see how a seasonal ingredient is incorporated through the rotating menu. The fresh cocktails and desserts are amazing! Always look forward to coming back.
The wait staff was excellent. Food was great and we enjoyed a quiet dinner. It is one of our favorite spots!
Well this place doesn’t quite live up to its Charlotte roots. Let me say that the food is overpriced to begin with $12 for lettuce with almost nothing on it! And the chicken is another six… Wow the sandwich chicken salad sounds good. I guess it was big enough for an adult cutting it in half made it seem to go slower but really for $16… Our waitress was decent. It did take her about 10 minutes to come back for order after putting down my water since there are only three other tables in the place I was wondering what took her. Where is the service nowadays?
Great food and service was well executed, especially considering COVID protocols. Highly recommend dining here.
The highlight is their beet salad and Alex, the chef! He’s a hard working young man. Lots of talent and aiming to please.
Great meal! So happy Reid’s back open! Loved the pork chop.... cooked perfectly! Husband’s fish delicious also! We had lovely evening..... many thanks Reid’s!
Great dining experience in every way. Highly recommend this restaurant!!!
Very good food. Prices on the high side. Enjoyed it overall.
I am obsessed with this place, and so is everyone I’ve gone with. The charcuterie board and the focaccia are particularly divine.
Reid’s never fails to impress with their seasonal specials. Delicious food with a gorgeous presentation!
Food great. Overpriced: 6 oysters, ribeye steak, 2 glasses of wine =$149. It’s a cafe-no table cloths Would expect to pay that for finer dining.
Food was great, seams the cost of entrees has risen in the last couple of months. Also, was disappointed that you have discounted bread service.
Service was good as well.
Small pizzas are great as is the grilled Romain salad.
Food was excellent! Service was fair!
Excellent food quality, creative cuisine, ability to sit outside, the best rose I've been able to find anywhere. Service staff is good but varies in friendliness and some portions can be on the small side (they are charging for bread).
In a COVID world where many restaurants are closed to indoor dining in this area, Reids is a gem. Its small, sophisticated menu is exceptional and its chefs do an amazing job. The server we have had the last few times has tried to steer us to spend more money (ie recommending the top shelf vodka, the $55 lamb entree and bringing me a bowl of soup instead of asking whether I'd just like a cup) and her attitude was a bit cold, dismissive. But the food more than makes up for a lack of friendly service in this case. I always recommend their oysters. Healthy eaters should exercise caution as the food can be heavily salted and rich. Wonderful bartenders!
As usual the food is excellent and perfectly seasoned. Our server was attentive and accommodating to special requests.
We love supporting Reid’s and they never disappoint. The entrees are always creative and there’s always a delicious soup of the day to get you warmed up. Highly recommend.
Was our first visit to Reid's and won't be our last. Dishes and presentation were excellent as were the wine and mixed drink offerings. We were seated promptly and service was very professional.
Always great.
Reid’s is always a good choice. We make a point to go there anytime we are in the area.
Excellent! They have a great menu!
The food is always delicious. Just wish you had regular ice tea and plan ole coke.
The food is the reason to go... not much more to brag about. I could list all the service flaws for a restaurant of this caliber, but why? If you expect service commensurate with the cost of this restaurant, you might be disappointed.
The NC Burrata was outstanding! Shout out to their supplier...
The food and drinks was delicious! I highly recommend. My husband and I will be back in the future.
Very relaxing and high quality dining experience. Food and cocktails were outstanding. Service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely return.
Truly outstanding food and service. One of the best restaurants we have enjoyed in WNC. The only minor negative was that the portions were a bit on the small size.
We adore Reid's - delicious food, marvelous wine, lovely personnel, delightful decor. While they are not the cheapest restaurant in town, the food is definitely worth it. We always get an order of their chicken wings - and that may sound mundane but theirs are amazing. We have never been disappointed.
The acoustics were not very good. At times in was difficult to hear dinner table conversation.
Bottom line, they charged us $45 for a piece of bone-filled fish and no sides. Nearly $50 for a fish dipped in fried grease. We left hungry after eating mediocre food. The cheese tray that we ordered as an appetizer was awful! Hands down the worst cheese board we've ever ordered. The poor hostess cleared tables as she attempted to manage a line of guests coming in the door. We had a 8:15pm reservation and still waited several minutes before being greeted by any staff member. Once seated, we couldn't even enjoy our time there because the music was so loud. We will not be going back.
WOW! 1 star. We certainly wish we could have resolved any issues during your visit. Our "whole" fish special is something our community greatly looks forward to. We will continue to provide the freshest ingredients, the highest level of service, and continue with our rigorous cleaning regimens, excessive hand washing, 14 hour shifts {with a mask on}, and keep everyone's health and safety as our top priority. We appreciate the feedback. Stay safe.
Excellent spot for lunch
