    We had a wonderful early dinner on 1/4/25 prior to our Candlelight Christmas tour. I started with the she crab soup which was delicious with a peppery finish at the end of eat bite. I followed with the beet and burratta salad and the star of the show, the crispy Brussels. My daughter and husband both had the lamb. It was not sliced as they thought it would be but rather shredded. It was good but not overwhelming. Service was wonderful. I wish I could remember the young lady's name. She was attentive but not intrusive. Overall a lovely experience and we would return.

    We had a lovely experience! It was rushed because we had tickets for an event and messed up our timing. Although no fault of the staffs, they were kind and understanding when we had to leave immediately after eating. Our food was insanely good….so so so good. I wish I had ordered more scallops. My husband was blown away with the swordfish. Absolutely top 10 meals of our lifetime. We will be back! Asheville and WNC still need us. We are thankful to come and support this beautiful place!
