I always come here with a big group of people for brunching on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon - so we are usually too hungover to care enough to take photos haha! But - the lobster nachos are my go-to. The place is usually pretty crowded but we just meander around downtown until a table opens up. Great food, great service, great vibe. Thumbs up!

Disappointing evening - when we called to book we were told that the restaurant would be able to produce a vegan dish and that this would be no problem. However it turned out that this was not the case without a lot of fuss. Can’t recommend for vegetarians or vegans and rest of food was average.

Fantastic restaurant! The ceviche is always amazing, I typically get the sample, but the tuna is outstanding! Great atmosphere, great service, it’s no wonder it’s a top Asheville restaurant!

An all-around excellent restaurant. Went on a weeknight, sat at the bar. Recommend reservations as it gets full quick. They offer smaller plates -- individuals or shared -- and larger plates. Broad offering from fish to chicken, lamb to beef. I had the lobster nachos, which are very good -- enough for me as a meal. The menu changes and the one from late-March 2024 is included. Great place.

Make reservations if you want to enjoy this spot. We didn't but were pleased to snag a spot for 2 at the bar and watched the place quickly fill up. A pre-glance at their food menu didn't spark my interest so we had dinner first and then came here for a drink and dessert. Don't let the pecans deter you from the tres leches cake. It's a great choice. Love the ambiance (lighting, simple yet intentional decor, calming tones). Date vibes. Only tiny con is the glassware. Not what you'd expect for a cocktail selection.

Lovely place! Seems to be a well-run establishment. Staff seems happy to be there. Service, food, and margaritas were amazing.

I would say this place is somewhere between 4 and 4.5 stars. Service was great although our appetizers did take longer than other tables. We enjoyed the tuna ceviche and lobster nachos to start and it was both excellently made and unique. We then shared the delicious lamb shake with green herb mashed potatoes. They were very tasty. We ended with tres leche which was perfectly balanced and moist with peaches and pecans inside. The only thing we didn't care for was the prickly pear margarita and my red wine Syrah but otherwise solid experience and a great decision to visit this place while Visiting ashville. Prices are reasonable and portions are nice and large. Next time I'll try the scallops.

Small amounts with an outrageous flavor. The margaritas are worth the stop. Had only one, tasted two and it stopped a headache. Tasty and delicious, leaving me want more yet just enough.

Wow. Great exotic Margherita's made superbly, fabulous chile rellenos Mexican styled (no soufflé egg coating) but still cooked perfectly w a sauce that had great flavor. Had the chicken confit spiced with cous-cous, onions and tomatoes perfectly spiced and balanced! My wife had the brisket enchiladas that were fabulous! Dessert was awesome too, I had the bread pudding w caramel sauce and ice cream and my wife had the fried churros w caramel sauce wow so darn good!! Bravo so good!

We have eaten all over the planet, restaurants ranging from local snackbars to Michelin star restaurant. But i can quite confidenly day this has to be one of the best places we ate. Everything was fresh and well balanced. Service was outstanding as well. Whenever we are in Asheville we will come back here!

The service and food were both excellent. We had the ceviche, scallops, fish and butternut squash tinga chile relleno. It was all superb and the bread pudding with home made ice cream was out of this world.
