BlackBird is a great spot we just happened to stumble upon. Great wine list and everyone's dinner was outstanding!

Food was really good. Service started a little slow but our waitress picked up and did an excellent job.

The service was top notch. The selection of food and wine was very good. It was our first dinner out in a year and it was delightful!

We were visiting from out of town to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We could not have picked a better place to celebrate, and will be joining yall again on our next visit to Asheville - we will also be recommending to our friends. Our server was awesome, very knowledgeable and attentive, the food and drinks were delicious, and we really enjoyed our dining experience. Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing yall again, hopefully sooner than later!

70th birthday and girls trip.

Thank goodness Tupelo Honey had a two hour wait we discovered this place amazing food fantastic service and it will be our new go to

Just delicious. Food was perfectly prepared and was very interesting. Service was wonderful. Will definitely put this in our “will visit again” list.

10/10 suggest the beignets and eggs benedict. Will definitely be back next time we visit Asheville!

The food was mediocre. The service wasn't great.

Menu looked promising, but the food wasn’t that great. Too pricey for the value received.

We had wonderful drinks and conversation. Would recommend that everyone have the Basil Martini. So good!

Good ambiance for a date night. Food was enjoyable but not memorable. Our server did a great job and was very attentive and helpful with selections.

Seated at 8:25. Dinner served at 9:30. Asked the server to consider a special order and gave a back up order. Never got a clear answer if it was possible; didn't know what I was getting until it arrived at the table. Server was nice but possibly overwhelmed.

Absolutely fantastic meal. The vegetarian options are top notch!

The chef's 6 course seasonal dinner was absolutely phenomenal. Cannot wait for the next season to see what will be served.

For a restaurant that was highly recommended, this was a less than stellar experience.

First off, over 10 minutes is how long we waited till someone came and got our drink order. Only one drink was ordered, sweet tea, and it came out wrong.

Secondly, we ordered the beignet's which if you've never had before, these were good. But if you've had them before in New Orleans, then these were a little lacking.

Third, our waitress only saw us three times so was unable to provide us with any real service.

Lastly, but highly important in this time period, we discovered that our table hadn't been properly cleaned before we sat down as there was a sticky mess on the table we didn't discover until we were leaving the establishment.

The food (other than the beignet's) was not bad, but nothing to rave about either. Overall, for a treat out on our anniversary, not a very pleasant experience.

Great brunch experience! We enjoyed our time there!

We always love it here, but the lunch service was painfully slow this time.

We had a wonderful lunch. No one rushed us and the whole meal was excellent. Very attentive staff

Great service and great downtown location! Food was mediocre for the price, decent cocktail.

After arriving in Asheville to celebrate our anniversary, we found the chef’s tasting option at Blackbird and decided to give it a try. The atmosphere was comfortable with adequate spacing of tables for safety. Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable about the items on the tasting menu and the wines paired with each. The food was wonderful and the wine pairing was very good.

I believe our servers name was Maggie and they were just wonderful! everything was absolutely delicious although a bit pricey for sandwiches and easy breakfast. We didn't mind though as we enjoyed our food very much. The ambiance was very nice, but the room was very very loud even with the restaurant half empty. My mom has a very soft voice and we had trouble conversing even side by side. I will definitely come back sometime, and hopefully the fantastically friendly Maggie will be there again, I can't enough how much we enjoyed them as a server. They made great recommendations which my mom really appreciated as she can never pick what to get at a new place.

Portions were very small but prices weren’t. The food was bland and boring. I’ve never had tasteless huevos rancheros before!! They should have taken some of the salt from the over salted potatoes and put it on the rest of the food. Had beignets as an appetizer. Two tiny little cakey pastries. Best thing about the entire meal was the apple butter. If for some reason you are forced to come here, just get a biscuit and apple butter.

Excellent brunch. Any place with a commisioned art panel is definitely a perfect place for brunch!!

Our server was distracted and not interested in making our experience pleasant. Restaurant was not neat even though we dined at 0930 AM. The food tasted and appeared left over from the previous day. I would not recommend.

We sat and had an amazing time in a clean environment with excellent food.

Food was superb. Cocktails stellar. Wait stuff wonderful.

Food was delicious. Thanks for a great meal. Love the French press coffee.

Everything was fantastic.

Fantastic spot. Great service and food. Really enjoyed the steak and fruit small plate. Very unusual flavor mix. Thai Brussel Sprouts were great. I had the local trout and scallop dish, which was tasty. My wife had the gnocchi, which was also good and very filling. We split a Caesar salad, which was good too. Good cocktail options and pretty extensive wine list.

Food was not good, cocktail was not good and service was poor.

Fantastic service- delicious food! Great spot

Birthday lunch for a coworker.

Had a very nice weekday lunch with a friend.
My Caesar Salad with tenderloin tips and shrimp was delicious and perfectly portioned.

I will not be back, our server was not polite, my drink was constantly empty without any service, the food was bad to fair, my meal was $160.00 definitely not worth $40.00

Fantastic service and cuisine!

We were in Asheville for Valentine’s Day and had difficulty finding reservations. Fortunately for us,The Blackbird had the perfect time slot. Upon being seated we were immediately tended to. The drinks and appetizers were wonderful and the Seafood Pirlau was amazing. The portions were enough for my husband and I to share. We finished our meal off with Apple cranberry cobbler and wonderful French press coffee. This is a must to visit and we will definitely be back.

The food was amazing!! My husband and I ordered the 6 course meal. Everything tasted amazing. Dinner took 2 hours but it went by so fast. Once we finished one course the next course was brought out almost immediately after the empty plates were taken away. The waiter was very polite. My husband ordered a second beer and the waiter forgot to bring it out, but when the waiter realized my husband didn’t get his beer he immediately got him one and didn’t charge us for it because he forgot it. This was absolutely the best dinner my husband and I have ever had, I can’t recommend it enough!

Excellent in every way!

The service was good, but the food was just okay and presentation (sloppy sauces and plating) did not match the expectation set by the website, or the price. Blackbird could be alright alone, maybe, but was a bit of a let down for an overnight trip to Asheville.
