We Have Proudly Served Fresh, Made-from-scratch and "Forever Free" Food for over 20 Years: We started as a scratch-made, farm to table restaurant in Asheville, NC in 2000 because we believed food should be good for our guests and for the planet. Today, forever free means the majority of our proteins were raised without antibiotics or hormones. We thoughtfully source ingredients like sustainably-farmed fish, wild-caught shrimp and regionally-sourced wheat and corn from century-old family mills

Unusually long ticket times. We waited almost an hour for our food to come out and with two small children, that was a struggle! Food was good but we were told they ran out of biscuits. Perhaps poor planning for Fathers Day?

We had a reservation and were seated right away. Our server was there right away and got our drinks, then our order and kept checking if we needed anything, so Connor did a great job as our server. Our food, not so good, which I was shocked, as I have always loved the food, but my husbands chicken tortilla soup did not look good and was very "red" and he said it had too many tomatoes in it, so he left about a third of it, which was all tomatoes... My fried green tomato sandwich was mostly bread with one slice of tomato, that was fried on the outside but still hard on the inside... not much to it and very bland. I have always loved the Brussells sprouts, but they too were bland, fried on the outside, but hard as a rock, not even cooked... We were so disappointed and couldn't believe this was our first time to not rave about the food. We could only wonder if they are having trouble getting cooks, as it was nothing like we remember from many other meals there in the past.
