    If In a large group reconsider. Very slow service. Likely due to the fact that we were a large party as all neighboring tables received faster service. Very salty food. When entrees are 40-50$ would expect a higher bar on service.

    I did a Ceasar Salas + a lobster tail for main. Crab cake and mia n cheese for appetizer. Bourbon crème brûlée for dessert. Argentina reserve Malbec wine to drink. Everything was perfect! That salad is HUGE by the way, perfect compliment to my lobster. I must admit i was STUFFED by the time i got dessert, i still ordered it because I wanted to taste it. Very yummy but boy was I full. Would 100% go again. My server was great too!

    Do servers have o run to one end to the long ding room for food and run to the other end for beverages/catsup/bill..? The wait staff was racing back and forth sometimes with empty hands like they forgot what they were looking for. They were VERY nice. That is the noisiest dining experience I have ever had. I could not wait to get out of there and enjoy one of the world's most beautiful dining rooms from the floor down from the dining room. My trout with the beurr blanc and fine sides was worth the whole unusual experience!

    The views are spectacular. I had the sea bass special and my husband had the pork chop. Our food was phenomenal but spendy, however we expected it and we’re ok splurging. So far it has been our best meal in Asheville. If you are on a budget consider going for a cocktail and an app.

    The best place to dine in Asheville. Food, service, ambience, not to mention views of Blue Ridge Mountains are all outstanding. Prices are higher than most restaurants in the area, but a splurge to eat at a sunset Terrace is worth it. The service is first rate, fast and courteous. The food we ate was very delicious. A great evening.

    They rely way to heavy on the view selling the experience. Steaks are very overpriced for what you get. It is easy to spend $400 as a couple here, but leave hungry. They asked for prefered temperature, but not a single steak on our table, or tables around us, was correct. Severely undercooked, yet burnt and charred to a black crunch. The 4 tables around us, and ourselves, took over an HOUR to get food service. No bread or table offerings here, no return trip for a now very hungry patron to ask for an appetizer, just left to sit and hope the $110 steak would satisfy. It did not, and the $30+ Oscar style come out as 1 oz of hardened dry crab, 3 small asparagus heads, and NO SAUCE. Accounting for the drinks while waiting, and table sides; each person easily has a bill of $200. That would feed twice the people at Texas Roadhouse with double the food (sadly a better steak too). The only redeeming thing was the waitress who was very kind and was obviously trying to work with items beyond her control. It was not an overly busy evening and was in the middle of their normal hours.

    Our reservation for an early dinner put us at a beautiful time of the evening to enjoy the setting and view. Our food and drinks were very good, although the time to have the entrees ready was just a bit slow. However, this really didn't matter much because we were not rushed and were allowed to enjoy the evening even though we lingered for quite a while after we were done. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. It was a very very nice evening and meal with a great location and great weather helped. Just be aware that this is a premium location and the prices are commensurate.

    A lot of money to pay for OK food, OK service, and a great view. While the food was OK, our server's indecisiveness regarding a food allergy question we had was a bit unnerving. Save your trip to this restaurant for a special occasion. The food and ambiance is not spectacular enough to justify the prices they charge.

    I think it was the most expensive and worst meal I ever had, except the salad. I will never go back. On top of the incredible high price for everything, they also charged me to park. Been there many times, over the years, and always had a reasonable good meal, but not this time.

    We ordered the $145 Japanese Miyazaki Beef steak and my son thought that it was not what had been promised at all. It did not “melt in your mouth like butter”. And the Porterhouse that we ordered was just okay. Can’t beat the ambiance and the service.

    This venue is a memorable experience, a truly beautiful and impressive place. We enjoyed the choice of music played. The food, sauces, presentation were delicious. The service was excellent. We feel it was overpriced from our viewpoint, but everything there is full all the time, so who can argue with that?
