OMG we loved this place. Sat at the bar and a huge shout out to Raven our bartender / waitress…read more Having service of this level is why we love sitting at the bar. She was on top of everything and had some great conversation. The place was packed but she wasn't rushed. (ask about the tattoo on her leg. LOL) Had a nice bottle of Cahors (French Malbec) which was probably the most reasonable on the wine list. We had Escargot, Mussels and finished with Foie gras (excellent and pretty good side).

The lounge is at the front by the windows. It has comfortable banquette seats and bistro tables with the full regular menu. The staff were very attentive but not obtrusive.

We went to this other French-American restaurant (Isa's Bistro), and they didn't have Creme…read moreBrulee...so, we ended up here afterward to order JUST the Creme Brulee. First of all, the place was very small, with this caved-in feel...a very grungy, dive-like ambiance. I felt quite claustrophic. Also, they didn't have the A/C on, so it was quite humid in there. Sadly, things didn't get any better. One of the best thing about the brulee is the glazed crust...and well, their version was just slack, in that only about a third of the top was glazed! HUH?!? Plus, they used this thin slab of Orange instead of the usual Blueberries or Strawberries...making the dessert have this Yellow on Yellow type presentation. Not appealing at all...at least to me. Initially, I thought we'd wait...and get our waitress-bartender to send it back to the kitchen to get it glazed fully. However, we just couldn't get her attention...so we just ended up eating it. I did, however, decide to bring up this issue...after getting the hostess to literally grab our server! I just felt that something this slack should be pointed out. Since we did eat some of it, I didn't ask for a redo or anything like that...but simply telling her that I wanted my feedback to go to the kitchen and the manager. In any case, she didn't bill us for the dessert. I thought that was the right call. From the grungy ambiance (with no A/C), to their botched dessert, I just can't say this was a worthy experience in the least. I totally regretted not going to Crave dessert bar instead. Lesson learned!

Bouchon French Bistro is a solid spot for French food in the Asheville area. If you're looking for…read moresome classic, French bistro fare then Bouchon likely has it. I've never had a bad meal here. In my most recent visit to Bouchon, we had a reservation for the three of us on a Sunday evening for dinner. In fact, I recommend making a reservation if you're planning to dine here as Bouchon gets busy. Even for a Sunday, nearly every table was taken. The place is dark and romantic, but bustling and lively. As mentioned previously, Bouchon has classic, French plates that are timeless. From French onion soup to start with, to steak frites for your main, and profiteroles for dessert, there's something you're likely familiar with if you've had French food before. Plus, the large wine menu, including Bordeaux style reds are something to rave about. I ordered the Canard a L'Orange Chocolate for my entrée and we wanted to start with the escargots, but it never came. We had to remind our server that we ordered escargots, which we later received and was taken off the bill. That was nice. I did enjoy my canard/duck entrée, which was prepared with a rub from cocoa nibs and an orange glaze with broccolini and potato au gratin on the side. The duck was also a good portion, as it was half the size and cooked perfectly. Overall, if you like French food then Bouchon has some traditional dishes that you'll enjoy. Service was a little spotty, but not terrible. It's not my first choice for dining out in Asheville where the competition is fierce, but if I'm visiting on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, then you best believe I'm down for the AYCE moules frites, which yes, I've totally done and definitely got my money's worth.

When I arrived and went to place my order, and I couldn't decide what I wanted, the french café owner recommended I try the croque monsieur. I'm really glad I did, because the sandwich was cooked to perfection, and I felt like I tasted real food for the first time. The fries were perfectly salted, and had some herbs which perfectly complimented their flavor. The carrot cake was the best cake i've ever tasted. It's worth going out of your way to experience this establishment.

Unfortunately, my steak had an odd flavor, so I didn't finish it. I didn't want to make a fuss or disrupt dinner, so when I saw our server away from the table, I quietly mentioned it. I said I wasn't sure what caused the unusual taste--it reminded me somewhat of freezer burn, although I also wondered if it might have been the pesto butter. I wasn't making an accusation or claiming to know the cause. I was simply trying to describe the flavor. Our server apologized, and I thanked her. The manager then came to our table and challenged my feedback, explaining that the meat had just been butchered and that they don't freeze it. I repeated that I didn't know the cause, only that something tasted off. The exchange was uncomfortable enough that everyone at our table was taken aback. Our server later returned and apologized for the interaction. We explained that I had spoken to her privately for a reason. The server then offered us a $5 coupon toward a future visit. Needless to say, we left it behind. I rarely post negative reviews, but the manager's defensive response turned a minor food issue into an unnecessarily uncomfortable experience. A simple acknowledgment would have been appreciated.

I have been visiting Black Mountain for years but haven't tried this interesting restaurant yet…read more Today was the day for me/us and marked the day the train returned on its route through Black Mountain. We were impressed by the interest and fanfare this post-Helene event created for the locals. Parking on the street, across the street or a short way up the street is town free parking. Shannon and Rain were our friendly and helpful servers. There are many seating options. We chose the sun room which was comfortable. Others were seated outside on the side porch and several people were inside. We shared a bowl of the delicious French onion soup. Eat it while it's hot for the best experience. The buckwheat crepes were the perfect consistency to handle the savory entrees. My Market crepe was packed full of goodies including the sausage add-on. Each ingredient stood well on its own. The pesto was a standout. My partner got the mushroom crepe with chicken. She enjoyed immensely. Both entrees came with a fresh greens and balsamic dressing. The servings were generous enough to bring two halves home for dinner. Sharing soup and a savory crepe is a reasonable strategy if leaving leftovers in your vehicle during the summer heat is a concern. We joined the servers on the patio to watch the return of the train through a nicely recovering town.

We went around 4:30 on a Saturday, and it was pretty dead. There were a few people sitting outside, and we were actually the only people inside when we first got there. The vibe felt like they might have been switching shifts and getting ready for dinner service. The service was a little slow to start, and the woman who initially took our drink order was honestly a little rude. My friend asked her for a recommendation, and she just wasn't very helpful about it. No big deal, though, because our actual server for the rest of the meal was SO sweet and amazing. We had absolutely no complaints with her! But then the food came, and we were pleasantly surprised. The absolute showstopper was the truffle fries. All of us could not stop talking about how good they were. They were insanely crispy, the garlic aioli they came with was DELICIOUS, and they were so fresh when they came out. I would genuinely come back just for these. I also really enjoyed the chef's board. It gave us a lot of different things to pick and choose from, and the three of us were able to share the plates and the salad. We all left feeling full but not stuffed. Honestly, the perfect little girl dinner. Overall, I would absolutely come back, and I would order those fries a million times over. You HAVE to try them!

I love Passerelle every time I go and, as usual, this time did not disappoint!…read more We had a group of 8 plus a dog and they accommodated us easily on the patio. It was hot, but they have lots of fans outside and the patio sits under gorgeous, giant trees with each table having its own umbrella to provide shade. I love sitting here and watching all the goings-on of the park. Inside is cozy and romantic. There is only one restroom, but if you've really gotta go, they are located close to public restrooms for Falls Park. There is also an elevator close by for accessibility. Besides the incredible ambiance, the food is why you come here! All French inspired, you can't go wrong. I got the goat cheese gnocchi and French onion soup. It's the second time I've had the gnocchi and I just love the creamy flavors and varying textures of the dish. The French onion soup is classic, cheesy, and exactly what you want it to be. Others in my party got the airline chicken, which was a big hit! If you're in search of a romantic date night spot or an outdoor place in the shade, consider Passerelle!

The French-inspired décor made it feel like I'd stepped into an authentic little café in France. The café has two stories of seating, plus outdoor tables, so there's plenty of space whether you're meeting a friend, working remotely, or settling in with a good book. I brought my Bible and did my morning devotional, and it was such a peaceful way to start the day. It would also be a great spot for a coffee date. I ordered the buckwheat crêpe with mushrooms, spinach, caramelized onions, and an egg. It was hearty, flavorful, and a generous portion that kept me full for hours without feeling overly heavy. I also tried one of their specialty lattes. It was a bit sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor, so next time I'd probably stick with a regular latte instead. Between the charming atmosphere, delicious food, generous portions, and welcoming service, this is definitely a place I'd recommend if you're looking for a cozy breakfast or brunch spot in Knoxville.
