The Bar at Table 18 N Lexington Ave, Asheville Bar • $$$

“We found this little gem by chance and were not disappointed. Great atmosphere, kid friendly (albeit its an adult place). We sat at a small corner table by the bar. We enjoyed some sharable plates, great wines, mocktails for the kids, excellent wines and my wife a great Vesper made by Luci (the bartender). But the cherry on top was the fact that she made a perfect Irish Coffee - a simple drink, but buttered by 99% of the bar tenders. We will be back.”

So pleased with this place!”

“The rooftop bar was great. Delicious food great service. But the hotel staff and rooms SUCK. WE paid 289.00 a night for a room with NO TV which I kinda DUMB ! Anyway we will not ever stay here again. Front desk folks are jackasses rude. We had our reservations over a week for a room as we were traveling here from Amelia Island Florida. It took over 35 minutes to check in they had our reservations all screwed up. Absolutely a joke I've never experienced anything like this at a hotel. Our total experience was CRAP except for the rooftop bar. I give the folks up there working a 5 star rating.”

“This is likely our favorite brewery in Asheville! We have a wonderful experience every time we visit which is unfortunately every few years, but always worth the wait. We stopped in last Monday afternoon and were welcomed immediately, the bartender from Denver who I unfortunately didn’t get his name was one of the nicest people we’ve met in a long time. We stayed longer than anticipated because we were having such an enjoyable time with great beers! Their tap list ranges from basic lagers to breakfast porters and many things in between. They have some beer options to go in this location, for merchandise we went next door to the main Green Man brewery. You can’t beat the vibe here at Dirty Jacks though, can’t wait until we can visit again!”

Rebel Burger 2A Huntsman Pl, Asheville Burgers • $

“Visited 3/25/24. Omg go to rebel burger if you haven't been already-what a solid food truck this is. My biggest regret was that I ate this burger so quick that I didn't have time to take pics. The process is fairly simple, you order via QR code, grab a drink at Hi-Wire if you wish in the meantime, then wait for them to email you that your order is ready. My mom and I split a rebel burger and an abundance bowl. The only thing we couldn't think of was how to tweak the ingredients while ordering online (my mom initially didn't want the mayo), but honestly upon trying the burger, we both admitted the ingredients included were perfection. That is one good burger and the bun was delicious too. And the abundance bowl was just as good-so flavorful and well balanced. A side/smaller version of the abundance bowl would be an awesome option instead of fries as something to go with the burger (we didn't want fries because we had already had some earlier in the day). It works just as well on its own though and is pretty large so you may find yourself with leftovers. This is one food truck you shouldn't miss.”

“Food and service are both fantastic – some of the best Mexican food I've had in Asheville. Unlike other places, the food isn't *too* fast – you actually have a moment to take a sip of your drink before your meal comes out. My one disappointment is that they only have a changing table in the women's restroom – FYI men have children too!

I also ordered the avocado torta, it was quite good!The meal was good but not outstanding. The prices were average for the market, making it a reasonable choice. However, parking can be challenging, especially when it's busy. I believe there's also a drive-through option, which might be more convenient for some.”

“After a long night in the ER Thurs night into late Friday morning, I was a bit to tired to cook dinner, so my wife and I decided to just "grab a bite", my daughter requested Chick-fil-a so I drove to Tunnel Rd. As I pulled into line, I noticed the car in front of me had paid cash, and the young man seemed to have his hands full trying to organize everything. Having been in the food service industry years back I know it can sometimes feel a little intimidating when you have a hand full of cash and someone approaches you, so I hung back until he looked organized. When I did pull up Oscar briefly acknowledged what I had done, and the asked for my name to start my order. I was happy to see he realized why I did it, and figured that was the end of the matter. Just as I had finished with my order, and was ready to pull up, another gentleman (sorry did not get his name) approached me and also acknowledged what I had done, and thanked me for being courteous, I smiled just before he handed me a small card good for a free dessert saying something to the effect of "We like to acknowledge and reward when people act kindly". After a very, very long day, this was the ray of humanity I needed to get me through the rest of it. I hope both those gentlemen get a pat on the back.”

“Panda has some of the quickest, yet delicious Chinese food I've ever had. The service at Tunnel Road has very friendly people that go the extra mile for you. We have always loved PE and started with the store inside Asheville Mall - their service is slightly less than the stand alone store. No matter what food I get, I love. The Kung Pao is really spicy and very good, but you have to be careful not to accidentally put a whole dried pepper in your mouth. My favorite is the Honey Shrimp. I don't know what they do to it, but it's amazing. In the mall, you're eating right beside kids playing, so it's a dull, screaming roar that makes it hard to hear yourself, let alone a companion. At the stand alone, there's great lighting, great service, and it would be a great place to take a date or a job interview.”

“Ok. So here's the thing. I read all of these horrible reviews about this particular restaurant. So, to be honest I reluctantly made reservations. It was a rare opportunity for my wife and I to have a romantic getaway at the Grove Park Inn and I really wanted it to be special. When we arrived at our reserved time we were told it was going to be a bit longer. It was only about 10 minutes and they made every effort to be kind and keep us posted. That was a nice change from some of the service I'd received in the past, so I was happy about that. The servers, Diane and Jermaine were phenomenal. The food was incredible. My wife said it was the best Filet Mignon she'd ever had. I was very happy to hear that. I got the Sea Bass and it was very, very good. I highly recommend both of these entrees. The desserts were great too! So I say my compliments to the Manager, to the Chef, to the staff and even going all the way back to the front desk where the two young women were so friendly. To hear my wife say it was a beautiful view, the best steak, and to see the smile on her face made me decide to write this review. They even brought us a small dessert to share and two glasses of sparkling wine at no charge because my birthday was coming up soon. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. I highly recommend Vue 1913. The prices are a little high, but I'd pay it again for the night we had! Don't believe all the negative reviews, folks.”

I did get a taste of the Roasted Beets and Cauliflower pizza. It was a very good combination. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and a Caesar side salad. The dressing was authentic with anchovies. I'm not a fan of anchovies, but it was so well balanced, I really didn't mind. I ate the whole thing. The Cuban came on a really great bread. I think it was baked locally and was really fresh. The rest of the sandwich tasted good, but a little skimpy on the meats. I'm used to Florida Cuban sandwiches which are plump with meat.

Good variety of selection on beer types and about 12-15 of them.The breakfast sandwich was a home run... like completely surprised us both for a brewpub... we were there during brunch, so she was able to get brunch and me lunch (think brunch ends at 3:30 Saturdays/Sundays). She had the breakfast sandwich, which was a monster and was a very good value. The sandwich was satisfying and so flavorful, especially with whatever sauce that was. The home fries were ordered extra crispy, and they came out perfectly crispy and not burnt or greasey.I am a sucker for shrimp and grits, so I usually get it if I see it on a menu. The shrimp were cleaned first off so they did that right and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The sausage was still juicy and flavorful. The grits were cooked well but honestly, it didn't taste much of cheddar and noticed barely any jalapeno. The sauce was supposed to be garlicky cajun cream sauce. I got the garlic and cream but no cajun spice, and overall it needed some salt and pepper because of that lack of heat.Overall it was a great brunch spot with a tasty large breakfast sandwich and crispy home fries; but mediocre shrimp and grits. Beer selection is good.8.5/10”

“We have lived in West Asheville for eight years and have never gone to Nine Mile. Me and my three children(we are two vegetarians and two vegan) were on our way to the Thai restaurant next-door and my daughter talked us into nine mile after looking at the menu and realizing that everyone could be made happy. So we tried it. Upon entering, there is a large table that reminds me of Covid days, but it is for pick up orders. Otherwise, the decor is nice, not particularly special in anyway, and perhaps slightly shabby. The place just looks well used. The outside of the building, obviously in need of restoration. Service was good, but kind of like the building seemed worn. It was not busy when we arrived at 5:30, but it became busy soon after, the bar every seat was full with diners. We tried most of the vegetarian/vegan entrées, each using the same jerk tofu. Though the tofu is the same in each dish each one was vastly different. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures, my youngest child who ate pasta with cheese and loved it, and also the natty bread, played chess on my phone throughout the meal. The two vegan teens, one got a pasta dish with fire roasted tomatoes that were sublime and other assorted vegetables, (I don't remember the name) and the other got a different entree- it had black beans, rice, the tofu, plantains and a lovely pineapple salsa. I a vegetarian ordered a dish with white rice, tofu etc. All was delicious. The salads were great. The jalapeño dressing was noteworthy. One beer, an extra order of natty bread, three entrées, one kids plate. $95 including the 20% tip. Not bad, good portions, entrées have salad and bread. I'm glad that my daughter talked us into it and I imagine we will probably make it part of our dining out repertoire.”

“Several of us came in for lunch... the wait was ridiculous, considering there was only one party (consisting of 3 people) in front of us, but they had a bunch of questions, even though the menu is rather simple. The person taking orders took his time with that group, while the line grew longer. It's nice that he took the time to answer their questions, but he probably should have called someone else over to take orders while he chatted with them. The wait was about 10 minutes for this. The place is nice looking and filled with seating, inside and out. The menu is simple, mainly pizzas and handhelds. The staff is friendly and our food came out promptly. My burger was pretty good as well. Aside from the ridiculous wait, the rest of the lunch went perfectly. I'd return.”

Vue 1913 290 Macon Ave, Asheville Wine Bar • $$$$

“Ok. So here's the thing. I read all of these horrible reviews about this particular restaurant. So, to be honest I reluctantly made reservations. It was a rare opportunity for my wife and I to have a romantic getaway at the Grove Park Inn and I really wanted it to be special. When we arrived at our reserved time we were told it was going to be a bit longer. It was only about 10 minutes and they made every effort to be kind and keep us posted. That was a nice change from some of the service I'd received in the past, so I was happy about that. The servers, Diane and Jermaine were phenomenal. The food was incredible. My wife said it was the best Filet Mignon she'd ever had. I was very happy to hear that. I got the Sea Bass and it was very, very good. I highly recommend both of these entrees. The desserts were great too! So I say my compliments to the Manager, to the Chef, to the staff and even going all the way back to the front desk where the two young women were so friendly. To hear my wife say it was a beautiful view, the best steak, and to see the smile on her face made me decide to write this review. They even brought us a small dessert to share and two glasses of sparkling wine at no charge because my birthday was coming up soon. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. I highly recommend Vue 1913. The prices are a little high, but I'd pay it again for the night we had! Don't believe all the negative reviews, folks.”

While your favorite dish may not be on the menu forever, there will be something new you enjoy just as much. The tables are tightly spaced, but again, it's a small place and they need to maximize their seating.

“Excellent farm to plate fare in a casual upmarket setting. The whole trout is not what I’d ordinarily order, but I took a gamble on it being made well. It paid off!! Good cocktails also.”

“Food and Service were wonderful but the Lamb Hash has very little lamb. The place looks like an event bar retrofitted for a kitchen. Defintely interested in trying again”

“This is a quick jaunt from my main work location and conveniently located just off New Leicester Hwy. So far, I have ordered coffee once and jessi cakes twice, but I can tell they make everything with love in mind. The bagel was surprisingly good, the brownies & cinnamon rolls are GIANT and meant to be shared. Please give this small business & baker a chance and stop in for a visit!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options in the case and made to order.Kid-friendliness: Small comfy sitting area in the front, bright friendly vibes.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get into the building. Gravel and uneven concrete may still pose an issue.”

“I love this place, the people who work in there are really funny and they usually get my order right. Sometimes they don’t call my name when my food is ready or they forget to make my food for a while, but they’re nice about it so I don’t mind.”

“I got the quesabarria and rice and both were excellent. The beef was really tender and the rice tasted like it had been cooked in some kind of broth. I thought the house margarita had too much sour mix and had to ask for napkins and water and fetched my own silverware but will return for the food!”
