    I have been to The Admiral several times. Last night the short ribs flavor overall dish was awesome yet my girlfriends chicken was tough and difficult to cut. We left most of it on the place. They were busy and service was scattered. Normally the Admiral is special and you don't have to ask for water.

    The food, the service, and the atmosphere were excellent. I spoke to our waiter and he assured us that The Admiral is taking patron safety very seriously.. Thank you!!!

    I continue to be delighted by the service, ambiance, and (most importantly), the food! The Admiral is a lovely, small venue, where you are treated like a neighbor.

    So sad to say this, but I can’t imagine going back any time soon. The waitstaff did their best but were overwhelmed with the growth of the customer base. Initial drinks took well over a half hour to arrive. Food was slow in coming and delivered to the wrong diner. For example, a waiter who hadn’t taken our orders brought two ribeyes, didn’t know who they were for (delivering one initially to the vegetarian) and couldn’t say which was the medium and which was the medium rare. None of the dishes made any of us say “wow.” The Admiral used to be amazing, and I wish them luck in building up the capacity to take care of the additional customers they’ve taken on.

    We had not been to the Admiral in years but had guests from NYC and wanted to show them something typically Asheville but with delicious food. Two of us dined on the "tilefish" which was bland and overcooked at best. Another guest had beef that was "OK". The salads were very good but not good enough to save the evening. Our server was attentive. For the prices and the reputation that this restaurant has enjoyed, it was a big disappointment for us.
