Had a room at a nice hotel next door. This club blasts music until 2:15AM. Bad neighbor and bad music. Hotel had to comp part of our stay.We understand staying in urban areas has different vibes. This was way over the top. Plus Asheville has a noise ordinance at midnight.

I thought was only a restaurant, there is a bar and discotec as well, just the dj is very Bad changing the music... But at least they listen What You want they play for you...They play a lot of latino music that's cool!Sadly there's no wine ?

The club looks lit and I’d come back for that, but the food and service were so poor I thought I was on an episode of Punk’d. The restaurant is just reopening but I can’t even give this one the benefit of the doubt that this was part of the issue.We ordered short rib tacos - supposedly braise all day but not season at all even with a hint of salt.Duck wontons- conceptually interesting but absolutely tasteless.Patatas Bravas were actually quite good but the skill cap there is low.The chef talked to us and was incredibly nice, and the food is really affordable. But the space is devoid of any vibe and the food was unimpressive. I live in avl so I’ll try it again one day.

If you want to have fun and dance the night away in Asheville come here! The Dueling Piano Bar is a WASTE OF TIME and DEAD. Come here instead!

Absolutely 15/10 experience thanks to Satchel. Without that man, probably a 7/10. Food was 10/10 for me. It is tapas so plan accordingly. If you want dinner order 2-3 items. I loved the food and drinks were fine. Satchel though, he helped my friends and I have a great time. If Satchel isn't there, it's not worth it.Only complaints, on a Saturday night very low staffed. Was expecting a good margarita, pretty it was just marg mix and some tequila in a wine glass. And it was really dark inside, like no lighting to see what you were eating or the people around you.But I will definitely be back next time I come to Asheville, as long as Satchel is working.

We came here on New Years Eve for dinner and loved everything about our night! The meal was fantastic (my favorite part was the Brussel sprouts) and the churros for dessert were the best I've ever had. The chef made a point to stop at every table multiple times and is very personable and clearly passionate about what he does. Luckily for us we are local to the area because we can't wait to come back!

Great menu that always changes and they have something for meat eaters, vegan, vegetarian and options to make it gluten free. If I'm ever back in town I'll definitely try the menu again

Chef Ricardo Currasco and his staff catered our cocktail hour and reception for our wedding. In particular, guests loved the mini crab cakes, the charcuterie cups, salmon with hibiscus reduction, and vegan eggplant parmesan--but there was so much to love. The chef served us plates as he saw we still had not eaten, and that was the type of personal touch for which we recommend him to anyone.
Such great food! They have a bunch of vegan and vegetarian options too that are so good. Such a cute space too! The staff that work here is always so welcoming and friendly! Definitely one of my favorite spots!

Great spot for liquor drinks. Light food menu is really good and well priced. I had the short rib tacos, would pay more for more of a meal with more tacos though. Satchel was our waiter and was the best i’ve had anywhere in a long time. Need to come back to check out the club upstairs, have heard it is a wild time.Dine in: Yes

Came to Asheville for my bachelorette and my maid of honor chose Polanco well in advance for a 21 person party. When we arrived, I was so impressed with the set-up as we walked in. That was beautiful, then it went downhill from there. We reserved the upstairs being told our services would have unlimited wine. They “ran out of wine” after 4 bottles, then proceeded to bring out the courses and put bowls of family style chicken in cream sauce across the table. Cutting into the chicken, it was completely raw. My maid of honor, who set up the dinner, had to go make herself throw up because she is pregnant. When she approached the owner about it, there was no remorse, just “we are bringing you out more food”. No attempt to even take the chicken back to recook. He then proceeded to tell her she was being disrespectful when it was clear he was embarrassed about his horrible service and serving raw meat. Along with having nothing near unlimited wine, they also missed one of the courses that were supposed to be served. They took a little off the bill but it was nowhere near what should have been compensated. This place is a joke wrapped up in pretty decor.Don’t go here. It’s a sorry excuse for a restaurant.

Our group reserved the upstairs for a bachelorette party. We had the entire space to ourselves and it was setup beautifully. We were all very impressed with the ambiance. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the service. The staff and chef seemed to be under prepared to serve such a large group, even though we booked months in advance. We were not provided with unlimited wine as promised or our final course. Some of the group found raw chicken in one of the dishes. When confronted, the chef did not apologize or try to make amends. In the end, he ended up yelling at the maid of honor and addressing the group in an aggressive manner as if we had done something wrong. I think the entire thing could have been rectified if he had simply owned his mistake and tried to make it right. I would not recommend this restaurant.
