   We had a reservation for Sunday brunch at noon before a show at Blumenthal and they called at 11:09 am and said they didn’t have enough food so they would be closed for brunch. We had to scramble to find another place to eat and still make it to the theater. Otherwise the food there is great. We were looking forward to having the sticky biscuits again as well as other brunch items.

   I was very disappointed with our experience at The Asbury. We came for a nice dinner to celebrate my partner's birthday. When we showed up, we were immediately told that 3 of the 6 entrees were out of stock - all that was left was the chicken sandwich, burger, and the steak (not exactly the best options for a special meal). On top of that, the warm kale salad was only available cold (which was just laughable at that point). I appreciate that the hostesses told us this before we sat down, but given that it was 7:30 on a Saturday night in Uptown, it's not like we'd be able to get a table at any other nice restaurants at that point. It just felt like the chef should have found someway to at least offer some kind of special dish that evening to make up for the fact that 50% of the entrees were unavailable. After being seated, the beers we tried to order we're also out of stock. To top it off, we ended up being the only ones in the restaurant and the service was somewhat slow for an empty restaurant, which just killed the mood and hype I made for taking my partner here for the first time.

   Where to begin…. The menu only has six entrées and three of them were not available on a Saturday night. Apparently they were ‘hit’ by the Panthers game on Thursday. Surely the chef could have pivoted and found other menu items on Friday or Saturday? With no option to find somewhere else before we went to the theater, I ordered the burger which felt like it had been transported from Five Guys, although the Five Guys fries would have been warm. Service was adequate at best and the ambience was terrible because people were either leaving or commenting about how terrible the food was.

   They did not have the first two dishes I tried to order for breakfast. The waitress was not aware the items were not available so I had to wait to re-order the third dish.

   My wife is vegetarian, so it was disappointing to be handed the menu and see that there was not one vegetarian entree. When asked about a recommendation, the server did not take the opening to say that she would see if the kitchen could do something off-menu. In the end, her salad was good (and my fish was fine) but it was another night of having to piece together a vegetarian meal at a “new southern” restaurant in CLT.

   My wife, two-year-old daughter, and I walked in for Sunday morning brunch and I left five minutes after sitting down. The waitress we had rolled her eyes at us as she saw our daughter and proceeded to scoff the rest of our short service as if we were beneath our reservation. My wife ordered a Mamosa and was promptly told that they could not make one before 10 AM, to which we looked down and saw 1005 and told us we will need to wait a bit. Next, a patron who is staying at the hotel asked if she could order food and was quickly told that because she doesn’t have a reservation she would not be able to be served at that time even though there were maybe six tables occupied in the entire restaurant. She then asked if she could have some food sent to her room or have takeout ordered, and the waitress shook her head and acted like it was the biggest burden, to which the patron left. Lastly, the waitress proceeded to ignore our table and go to a new freshly sat reservation table to completely take their order. At this time, the manager came to our table, asked if he could be of help. We asked to pay for our one drink that came to our table at that point and that we were too uncomfortable to proceed. We commend the manager for apologizing and trying to make things right, but the damage was done and we found another restaurant down the street that seemed more accommodating for our situation. For our first time in town, this was a disheartening experience. Just not for us.

   Avoid this restaurant at all costs this was a terrible experience. Very limited menu with 6 items on the main course 2 of which we were told were unavailable at 7pm on a Saturday evening - if you’re going to have a limited menu please have everything available. We ordered a bottle of wine - when it came it wasn’t the bottle we ordered only to be told by the waitress “well it is an Italian red” ……really? And when the main course came we sent it back everything was over salted - the mushrooms to the point of just being a block of salt. Honestly i never leave reviews but feel obligated here - i cannot imagine anyone goes back for a second visit!

   Far exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious from the apps to the dessert. Their side order of mac and cheese might have been the best we've ever had. Service was great as well. They validate parking 100% which is another bonus. Would definitely go back.

   The Asbury is one of our favorite places for a pre-show dinner. Food is always great. We go early, since service can be a bit slow as the dining room fills, but on this visit the service was exceptionally inept.

    We had brunch. Food was a little above average but the coffee was substandard and the water tasted like it came right out of the bathroom sink. The atmosphere was exactly as it is-a hotel standard restaurant….not at all how it is marketed. For the cost, probably won’t be back.

    The Asbury is a nice, small restaurant that is part of the Dunhill hotel and connects to the lobby bar. The menu is limited but covers the bases. I always have good service and attention by the staff. This visit, I wasn't really happy with the cocktail I ordered because it didn't seem like it came as described on the menu. They re-made it and I was satisfied with the outcome. As a location, it is excellent for dinner prior to events at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center.

    We were running late, we called and they adjusted our reservation for us. When we arrived we asked if we could be seated in a quiet area and they put us in the pub area. Issy was our waitress and was extremely sweet and pleasant. She took care of us and any issues we had without question or hesitation. She made the experience excellent. We look forward to returning and will be requesting Issy.

    Did was decent, but not as good as the pictures. Banana bread is more like a breakfast cookie skillet but was good. Bacon was weird, more like a prosciutto type flavor. Chicken and waffles is very sweet. Eggs on the stack were the fluffiest I've ever eaten, really good. Deviled eggs are a skip for me, but the sticky biscuits were an interesting mix of sweet and savory that I would recommend.

    We had a 6:15pm reservation. They weren't able to seat us until 6:45 and they had to seat us in the hotel's pub room which is separate than the restaurant. The table wasn't set and was dirty. We overheard a couple next to us in the pub room state that no one has checked on them for 30 min so we cut our losses and went to The Capital Grill down the street. Seemed to be short staffed which I can understand but even considering that the experience was awful.

    Food was very good. They just need a serious remodel inside. Very drab and dated- hard to tell what theme or vibe they’re going for. With such a “foodie” menu - we were surprised by the lack of ambience inside.

    We had a mixed experience at brunch. Service was pleasant but not very effective, the menu doesn't list upcharges for some items, resulting in a bill that didn't make sense, and the server really let us order too much food. Finally, the main courses cam much, much too soon after the starters were delivered. We started with the banana walnut bread and a fruit cup. These took too long to arrive and the banana walnut bread, while tasty was much too large for two people. Our server should have said something. However, the work part was that even before getting two bites of the starter, the main courses showed up. This kind of defeats the purpose of a starter. Then at at the end, items on the bill totaled to $42 but we were charged $44. No indication of why this would be. When we asked, we were told the potato pancakes had a $1 uncharge. This was not mentioned on the paper menu nor mentioned by the server. This is almost fraudulent. Certainly left a bad taste in our mouth. I will note that the on-line version of the menu seems to mention the charge.
