    Best meal we have had in a long time! We had crab cake Caesar, pizza, and chocolate souffle and we ate every crumb. Portions were huuuuge! Everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious and hearty. The menu was more extensive than the one online. All the pizzas sounded great. Prices were extremely reasonable, service was friendly and helpful and no pressure to order wine/drinks, despite an extensive selection. The decor and ambience reminded us of a contemporary restaurant we visited in Rome. We waddled out with a food buzz.

    Had a lovely dinner. It was only their 2nd day being open post-Hurricane and absolutely no glitches. We had the cheese board which was well-curated and featured their outstanding housemade pimento cheese as well as 2 other local cheeses. The shrimp and grits entree was delectable. Our booth by the Christmas tree was cozy. It was a wonderful evening.

    Great to see these folks back in business after Helene. The menu is a bit smaller than usual, but the food is really good and service is impeccable. Asheville is still under a "boil water" advisory so running a restaurant is a challenge but they are making it work. Parking is plentiful right across the street. Please support Asheville restaurants as they continue to recover.
