The Blue Ridge restaurant at the Grove Park Inn offers a Prime Rib Buffet on Saturday evenings. It is one of the best buffets I can remember! Everything we tried was good, really good, or excellent. And the spreads were amazing-- hot lines, carving stations, salads, raw bar, soups, charcuterie, desserts. Room after room of tempting dishes to delight everyone in your party. And the service was so efficient and friendly!! Really exceptional.

David was a great waiter. He made sure everything was okay with me. The people coming around just needed to pay attention to the red card. They kept coming up to me when it was on the red side. But it was a great restaurant and the lamb chops were incredible!

I tried the Sweet Potato Pancakes today for the first time. The pancakes were delicious and prepared perfectly. We have brunch at this location regularly and the food is consistently good. The bartender, Sam Clark is the best! She always provides top quality service AND with a smile.

Our experience at Bargello was wonderful! Our server was so attentive, explained the menu so well, and made it such a fun experience for the person in our party who was celebrating their bachelorette. We're from out of town, but will definitely be visiting again on our next trip to Asheville!

We had an excellent dinner at Rye Knot! Our group of five included two people who eat gluten-free, and we were pleasantly surprised by the number of options available – way more than their website or Yelp lets on. If you’re gluten intolerant, this place is a hidden gem with tons of choices. We’re always on the lookout for spots north of Asheville, and Rye Knot was a great new find. My wife ordered a gluten-free Reuben with gluten-free fries, and my daughter had a gluten-free sandwich. The rest of us enjoyed the fish and chips, a filet, and the meatloaf – everything was delicious. Portions were generous, leaning on the larger side, which we appreciated. The drink menu is extensive, with lots of beer and cocktail options. Every bar order we tried was excellent. While they seemed a little short-staffed, the service didn’t skip a beat. The manager, chef, and bartender all pitched in to help serve, and it really showed – we didn’t experience any delays. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a laid-back, unpretentious, and slightly military-inspired vibe. Rye Knot is definitely on our list of places to return to. Highly recommend!
