From environment, to food selection, quality of food prep and cooking, and service, everything was spot on making for a night impossible not to enjoy. The fish dish we ordered = spot on! The salad with grilled chicken topping = delicious. Service, thanks to Sara, was impeccable. Sara was kind, funny, helpful, checked in regularly, and super friendly. We absolutely loved our experience at Copper Crown, and when we're in AVL next we will most certainly be stopping by again!

First, the food: Caesar salad was beautiful and the lettuce, crisp, but the dressing tasted like mayo with a little pepper and some vinegar on the back end. The ribs were a little dry under the sauce, but the portions were good, and the flavor of the meat was excellent. The service was unremarkable. There was no offer to replace the side salad or offer to refill the beverage. In a town with as many great food spots as Asheville, the details matter. I'm not sure that I would return on my own accord.

This cosy, comfortable cafe is part-bakery, part-restaurant, and has a beautiful patio for warmer days. The front of house team was all female the day we went, and worked together as a powerhouse to get through the busy lunchtime rush. We were seated pretty quickly at the bar area, so we were able to watch the kitchen at work. The team all seemed so organized and efficient - like watching masters at work! Food and drink menu options are delightful, and we really enjoyed the quiche (seasonal vegetables) and the insanely delicious beet and citrus salad. Portions are very generous and food comes out quickly. The server talked us through wine options by the glass, gave tasters and great recommendations. We later learned that Mother supplies bread to other restaurants in the area - no surprise, it was fantastic. Will be returning every time we're in the area.

All Day Darling is a 2025 Michelin-recognized spot, and what a surprise and cute name!!!…read more While exploring near Grove Arcade, I searched Yelp for a local brunch place and found this gem. Like many cafés in Asheville, it's a self-bussing establishment, so guests return their own dishes after eating. The cafe is charming, with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were warm, welcoming, and food was very good. We ordered drinks which was okay...next time I'll opt for water. Luckily, the Buddha Bowl and the breakfast sandwich served on a perfectly baked biscuit, and both were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I even bought their after-meal herbal tonic a try--not sure if it worked, but like to try it to give my stomach more energy and room to eat!!!

It's not often a breakfast spot makes its way onto my Michelin radar. So when I saw this bad boy…read morepop up during my first trip to Asheville, I knew I had to check it out. I figured I'd have to get there right when they opened to beat the crowd. Then I hit snooze about a thousand times and stumbled in a few hours later. Somehow there were only three people in line. While the cashier at the counter cut me off after I ordered two items, telling me I was "going too fast"... I thought she was about to ruin my morning. Turns out she was an angel, guiding me to the light. She recommended The Standard, which I assumed was just a basic-ass breakfast sandwich, then told me to get it on the biscuit instead of the bread/roll/bun/whatever. That flaky, buttery, soft biscuit made me feel like I was in heaven. And don't forget the herb mayo--the cherry on top of one of the best milkshakes... I mean sandwiches... I've ever had. The lavender, fairy-dust, moon-water, up-your-ass spritzer seasonal special or whatever the hell it was... also delicious. Such an amazing way to start my day that when I told my friends about it, they immediately wanted to go for lunch. I RARELY, IF EVER, EAT AT THE SAME RESTAURANT TWICE IN ONE DAY. By lunchtime I felt like I should've been getting employee discounts. Hell, it was so damn hot in Asheville I bought one of their tank tops after breakfast... then came back wearing it for lunch like I'd worked there for years. I'll spare you the details of everything we ordered, but let me tell you this: not a single complaint. And that's saying something with the group of professional complainers I seem to have surrounded myself with. If you're reading this, lady at the counter--you were right. I hope you're out there telling other lost souls they're going too fast... and to get the biscuit. Asheville might've gotten the Michelin recognition, but you deserve a star too. Verdict: I'd eat here twice in one day again

Not only was there a Greek place in town that seemed to have a high rating but I found that they had Avgolemeno Soup and you could have Tabbouleh as a side with a Gyro. I thought I had discovered a gem. I had not. The Avgolemeno soup is nothing like any other version I have tried. The lemon flavor was very very minimal, to the point that it had no meaningful impact on the flavor. There was also no rice or orzo in the soup, which was a first for me. The price of the soup, which I ordered on UberEats, was $9.50 and I felt the portion was small for such a price. Tabbouleh was equally disappointing. I hate to think that there are people who tried tabouleh for the first time here and think that's what Tabouleh is. No pop, no flavor. All the things I enjoy about tabbouleh were missing The Gyro was serviceable. The Tzatziki sauce was served on the side for some reason. The lamb meat had good flavor and while I wasn't sure if it came off a spit (I am leaning towards it didn't) it had a nice char on it that I enjoyed. I am leaving what I consider to be a generous 3-star rating.
