    Burnt shrimp and over seasoned fries.

    The food was not good at all. We came on Tuesday evening about 5:30 pm and hardly any vehicles in the parking lot. That shoulda been the clue. I've eaten here 3-5 times before and it was good but not tonight. The shrimp were over cooked by a long shot. So much seasoning on the fries, could not eat them. Not good.

    First visit to this combination food, bar, coffee shop establishment. Traffic was slow but steady. Enjoyed a delicious double patty burger on marbled rye bread with crispy, seasoned fries that were too salty. Also got a flounder sandwich with fries. Portion size was decent; one order could be shared especially if one gets a side. It was quiet and the only background music seeped out of kitchen pickup window. The lower level dining area was clear, large industrial style space with plenty of seating. Upstairs has a warmer design with some attention to interior decorating. A lot of attention has been paid to the outdoors with plenty of seating, kid friendly spaces, a gas fire pit snd and plenty of nearby parking. The ambitious layout of this concept seems to call for multiple employees. Areas specifically allocated to order burgers or seafood were closed. All orders were taken at the bar.

    Came here on a cold, snowy day after freezing our butts off at the airport. The place was warm and the food was fresh and hot. Would love to come back during the warmer season and enjoy the outdoor area.

    While visiting family outside of Asheville, my parents took me to Auction House for dinner one night. Apparently, it's a new-ish food hall in town, and they were excited to try it out. There are 2 stories to the building: downstairs has a bourbon bar, burgers, fried fish, and some shareable snacky foods. Upstairs has a wine bar and Mexican food. We didn't go upstairs, instead opting to just try foods from downstairs. One of the things I liked a lot about Auction House was that rather than ordering food at each, individual vendor, you place your entire order at the bourbon bar. I think this is super clever, and honestly made ordering different things a lot easier and less time consuming!! I opted to get a fried chicken sandwich and fried brussels sprouts. Both were pretty good, though the brussels sprouts were honestly the shining star of the meal. They were so flavorful and crispy!! The chicken sandwich felt a bit dry and the fries were way too salty IMO. My mom got a fish plate, and my dad got a burger. My mom said all of her fried fish plate foods were way too salty as well, though my dad had no complaints about his burger & fries. After we placed our food order, we grabbed waters and plastic utensils and sat down while we waited for our food to be ready. Once our buzzer went off, we grabbed our food and sat back down. There wasn't any table service or anything like that - everything you'd need was self serve or order at the bar. I like the concept, and I think the menus are all really delicious looking. The prices were pretty good. I will say that the place was on the noisy side, even though it wasn't particularly busy. They do have outdoor seating as well, though when we went, it was cold & rainy, so we opted to stay inside. The bourbon bar does have a counter where you can order food without going inside, which is also nice! I'm not sure about if you can grab your food from the counter without going inside, though. Definitely a cute place. I wish the food wasn't so salty, but that is also a personal preference, so I'm sure others will enjoy it! I can see eating outside would be really nice here during a less rainy day lol

    We had a decent meal at Auction House after a day out on the river. We did not go upstairs so I can only speak for the 3 restaurants downstairs. We both got a drink at the bar, cocktail was well mixed. We got the crab hush puppies from Fish Camp (pictured) that were fried very nicely. The burgers from KO burger were pretty good but the fries were awesome. It rained while we visited but the umbrellas on the outside seating were large enough that we could enjoy the cooler temps that came with the rain. We are excited to visit again.

    Let's see how this new restaurant goes. I'd like to address the layout first. It's bad. So, if you want to order from the Mexican restaurant and one of the bars you sit upstairs. If you want a burger or seafood and a different bar you sit downstairs. Their website makes you download a different menu for each place. It would have a better flow if you could just click a menu button and see all options at once. There don't appear to be any servers. There are windows to order for each place but no one standing at them. You have to order at the bar. Also, there are 3 tables eating here and the tables are dirty. The food...so hear me out. Half the amount of fries and you charge me $3 less. The blackened catfish platter was good. It wasn't spicy like blackened should be. It wasn't overcooked and that made me happy. The crab filled hushpuppies were...different. I'd rather have regular hushpuppies. I understand they're trying to go outside the box but it's unnecessary. The tartar sauce they give was probably the best part of the meal. It helped a lot. The shrimp were fried well but bland. I can see why this new restaurant isn't slammed on a holiday afternoon. I'll come back but it's not in my top 10 places. Definitely not worth $19 per platter.

    It was a nice atmosphere. Tacos are very good. A little confusing with restaurants on two levels but they've done a nice job.

    Back in 2021 I loved this wine bar! It is still a really trendy spot with great wines and creative…read moredishes. It feels like it's inside a home which is part of its charm. You are able to get seating inside or at one of the three different outdoor spots (back patio, front patio, and bench backyard). We had a reservation so were seated pretty quickly. We were in the back patio and it was extremely windy. We were there the evening that they have their mussel special so ordered that. We also got the pappardelle. The food was very interesting! The mussels came in a sauce with jalapeno, banana peppers, and (I believe) pancetta, which made it feel like a unique rich sandwich in the best way possible. The pasta also had a unfamiliar, unique flavor combo vibe. They get creative with the food here. They also have a cool selection of wines to pick from! Do know it's on the pricier side. I'd still recommend checking it out.

    Charming location in West Asheville NC. Lots of hype around this venue and just didn't hit the spot…read moretonight. Wines were mediocre, service was average, and the food was less than stellar. Potato salad with trout and half chicken was the saving grace for this outing. Trout entree and crispy rice dish were average at best with the crispy rice being overly salted. The wine by the glass was below standard for a wine bar. Good vibes at this location but it did not meet the hype of the Yelp ratings.

Just a nice little place to go in and get some food, while dressing casually. The food is fairly expensive and I must say just basic in terms of flavor. I started with an appetizer brussels sprouts. The seasoning on the brussels sprouts was very nice. The portion was good, however, I left 3 to 4 brussels sprouts as they were undercooked and just too hard to eat. I personally don't like to pay for something I'm not able to eat. I tried a Caesar salad, as my entrée. The dressing was just okay. The lettuce was a bit tough. I did not finish the salad I have to say I was not thrilled. My waitress told me they seem to be known more for their burgers so if I ever decide to give this a second try, I think I'll stick with the burger.
