    The grilled romaine lettuce was tasteless. Also the appearance was different (although less important). Used to uncut leaves rather than chopped/diced. The lamb was okay. A little tough. The steak tartare wasn't as good as most iterations I've had, but that might have been due to the inappropriate bread/toast served with it. Too dominant. I'd go with a more subdued flavor along the lines of water crackers or something drier. The meatballs and shrimp appetizer were good. The duck was excellent. I wasn"'t impressed with the dry aged NY strip, but that might be due to me not being a steak person and never having had dry aged before. I'm used to something juicier. The main waiter could have been more attentive. The rest of the wait staff were fine. All in all, it wasn't terrible, but I was expecting more given the raves I heard about the restaurant. For the money, I've been mu h more satisfied at several other high end Asheville restaurants.

    The tartare was great. The steaks were not tasty. The potato wasn’t either. Not much flavor. Colby was an awesome server.

    Grizzly wagyu, cold draft when door opens and seated far from door. Wife's steak ordered well and came more medium. Pretentious and underwhelming

    The mashed sweet potatoes were the best sweet potatoes I have ever had! My petit filet was delicious and my wife’s vegan steak was delicious as well. Topped off with chocolate cheesecake and coffee and was an amazing meal.

    Food, atmosphere, and drinks were all on point. The grilled romaine salad, flat iron steak, mushrooms were all amazing. The Old fashioneds we had were also fantastic. Our new date night spot.

    The absolutely best restaurant in town for a perfect steak. Every item that we ordered between drinks, our meal and dessert were fantastic. I will absolutely come back!

    Beautiful restaurant and fantastic service- had eaten a lot today so didn’t enjoy a steak, just stuck to some of the small plates which were delicious! Definitely worth a visit!
