Food was great. The flan was bland. The service was great. But something ticked me off. We had a reservation for 4:00 PM we got there by 3:45 PM and they wouldn't sit us at that time saying that the table was not available. So we waited the 15 minutes and when we were taken to our table the area was empty. There were a lot of open tables. So why makes us wait at not sit us just because we got there 15 minutes early? I did not enjoy that. It's a lack of hospitality. read more

WOW WOW WOW! Cúrate really was a special spot! I was visiting Asheville for the weekend and had to make a resy here as it was a Katie Button restaurant. It did not disappoint! Most of the restaurants seating is at two long bars that are the length of the restaurant. It really works out well, blends that southern hospitality with the more unique pace of seeing chefs make their creations. We tried so many dishes and all were just incredible. The lamb skewers were impeccable -- do NOT miss this dish. It's such great flavor and the house pickles are a must with this!! The next was the paella. It was next level. Bursting with flavor and the best bang for the buck! Sooo much food and you just don't want to stop eating it all. The octopus is made so perfectly -- loved this! The patatas bravas are so comforting too, love this. The waitstaff was so friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was so cozy and intimate! Don't skip the sangrias either!! read more

We recently came to Curate for lunch. Here is what we thought. Atmosphere: Curate is located inside a beautiful space. It has all indoor seating. It looks like they also have two bar places to sit at and enjoy food. Curate was nicely decorated on the inside. The space was clean and welcoming. Restrooms: They have two gender neutral bathrooms. One restroom has a changing pad for babies. The restrooms were nice and clean. Service: All the staff we encountered were very friendly. The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and dishes. The food came out quickly. When we did call about a high chair, it took about 3 calls to finally talk to someone about it. They do have high chairs for babies. Food: We came here because it was recommended by several people to try. We thought the food was good. We have several similar tapas restaurants back at home to compare too and we felt the food was good but not extraordinary in our opinion based off the hype Curate has received. We tried their 'Croquetas de Jamon' to start. They were good, but definitely tasted better with the recommended hot sauce. We also tried their 'Roasted Seasonal Pepper Special' (it wasn't on the menu but recommended by our waitress) and it was ok. It could've used more seasoning and salt in my opinion. Next we tried their 'Berenjenas Con Miel' or fried eggplant, that was really good. We loved the salty and sweetness of the dish. It also wasn't heavy or greasy. Lastly, we shared their 'Arroz de Temporada' paella. That was my favorite dish, the sausage was so flavorful and I loved the burst of the tomatoes. The rice was cooked to perfection. It's definitely enough to share between just two people. Overall, I wasn't blown away by the food like I was expecting. I feel like there might've been dishes we should've tried to really give us that wow factor. This seems like a nice place to come for a nice meal. If we're ever in the Asheville area again, I'd be willing to give them one more try. read more

Just as good as a 5 star Jose Andres restaurant. Tapas is the way to go here. We ate at the bar w a 1 he wait on a Fri night. Bartender and service was excellent. This time tried the bruschetta like tapas, anchovies olive concoction and eggplant starters --every morsel was divine. Then shared the shrimp dish and the salad. Wish we lived closer as we would be here every week. Easily the best restaurant in a 100 mi radius in all aspects of! read more

Cúrate - Pan con Tomate with Manchego Cheese--simpler and yet better than anything like this - Tapas Bars Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Was looking forward to checking Curate out since they're a James Beard award winning restaurant. Love the lively convivial atmosphere and the open kitchen. We sat at the bar so had the perfect view to see all the chefs work their magic. Service was efficient albeit not always attentive since our server was too busy talking to others about sports. The food to me was just ok & while I completely understand that these are considered tapas to be shared, they are very small portions. I've had much better authentic Spanish food elsewhere. read more

We stopped by Curate for a quick lunch and sat at the bar. We each had a glass of Albariño, which was perfect for a warm afternoon. We started with the croquetas de jamón and the chorizo wrapped in potato chips. Both were good, although we thought a dipping sauce would have made them even better. The Ajo Blanco Tuna Tartare was the highlight of the meal--such a unique and delicious combination of fresh tuna, almonds, and chilled garlic soup. We also had the lomo, which was tender and flavorful, and finished with a smooth, sweet flan. Great food, friendly service, and a wonderful spot for lunch in Asheville! read more

Cúrate - Bar area - Tapas Bars Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Wow. Wow. Wow. This was our first visit snd we were blown away by everything. The food, the energy, the beauty of the restaurant, the service, everything was stellar during our visit. After having visited Spain and experiencing tapas, our expectations were set high and Cúrate delivered on all levels. We ordered several plates to share, ordered a bubbly white wine and later a pitcher of Sangria and enjoyed the thoughtfulness of their progression of our meal. Every dish was thoughtful and tasty. The patatas bravas were better than some we had in Spain. The lamb skewers were the least favorite as they were slightly overcooked. I missed taking a picture of the mussels because we slopped that up so fast! Overall, I cannot wait to visit again, especially as they change their menu seasonally so new surprises would be amazing. Thank you for a wonderful evening! read more

Very very very disappointed. Do not recommend!!! I'm very sad to say this about such a well established restaurant, but definitely not worth it!! Save your money and your time!! Sure if you're wanting something light to eat that is the price of two people definitely go here! My partner made reservations for this restaurant that was a treat for my birthday, but they sat us at the bar in stools even though we had booked for a table... what's the point of making the reservation then??? They told us when we arrived they didn't have any tables available & asked if stools were okay, and we were too hungry to argue. I got to watch the staff hard at work, for bare minimum of food. The price is unjustifiable for the amount of food and the quality!!!!! Like everything tasted so bland and we had joked we were fighting over pinto beans due to how hungry we still were!! We ordered Lomo de Bellota (not worth it) Pan con tomate (please take this off the menu) Gambas Al ajillo (fancy words for 6 shrimp) Butifarra con potaje (waitress recommended for something "filling", was not filling) I'm sorry to give such a low rating but past the Spanish words, if you think of the flavor of the foods you're gonna keep thinking cause why did we pay so much for ingredient based meals??? I'm never recommending or going here, not even for a snack, drinks okay. read more

Really wanted to like this place, but for us it's a pass -- especially for the price point. The host was nice; we came in without a reservation and were added to the waitlist. The wait was only about 25 minutes, which wasn't too bad. However, we were not aware we were going to be seated at the bar and were not given the option to wait for a table instead. For this type of establishment, you'd also expect warmer and friendlier service. Again, we sat at the bar, which may not have been the best choice, but the service there was inconsistent and at times lacking. You don't pay any less sitting at the bar, so it was definitely disappointing. That said, the food itself was great. We ordered the lamb skewers and the patatas bravas, and both were absolutely delicious. My husband also ordered a coffee and the flan, and the flan was very good as well. The prices are definitely high, but the food quality was solid enough that I could understand the cost. However, part of what makes a higher price point worthwhile is receiving excellent service as part of the overall experience, and unfortunately that just wasn't the case here. read more

Super excited to try this place after watching America's culinary cup featuring Chef Katie Button. We made a reservation at the bar and got to see them in action behind the kitchen. Our server Kelsey was so awesome. Very knowledgeable, friendly and walked us through the menu and made some great suggestions. We ordered some drinks and a handful of tapas to share. Some of my favorites was the toasted bread with tomato, so simple but so freakin delicious. Crispy soft airy bread with a tomato spread that was spot on. Gambas is always a go to for me, the fried eggplant with honey was simple but also tasty. The octopus was on point! So tender and delicious. We could've eaten more but didn't wanna over do it. We loved the vibes and it was a great first stop for us in Asheville! read more

I did my research for dinner restaurants before heading to Asheville- both via Yelp and by asking friends. And I was told don't skip Curate so it was the first reservation I booked. I booked it about a month ahead and had no trouble getting a reservation although it was quite busy for a Wednesday evening. And the restaurant itself is quite large! We started with sangria. It had been awhile since I had sangria and this reminded me i need to drink it more often- especially in the summer! Our waitress was Zoe who informed us she'll be moving near us in Chicago soon. She was great so happy to welcome her to our city! With Zoe and Yelp's help we decided on the following food: - Pan Con Tomate: didn't sound like anything special, but really good especially when topped with anchovy (as Zoe recommended) - Gilda: the anchovies we topped our pan con tamate - Pimientos De Piquillo Rellenos: fine, but probably my least favorite thing we ordered - Pulpo a La Gallega: loved, but i usually do when octopus is involved - lamb skewers: I was full by the time these came out, but too good not to eat And for dessert we went with the cheesecake which was so good! Overall, a great meal and I can see why so many people/yelpers recommended it! read more

Holy cow! I've been here a couple of times while visiting Asheville. I come here every single time now. Plan ahead. This place is busy, because it is awesome! Make a reservation. I love Spanish food and tapas. Curate delivers like no other place I have been. I love the open kitchen - it's awesome to see them prepare the delicious food! Ask for kitchen seating for an extra treat! One of the advantages of the smaller plates is they allow you to sample from a wide range of delights! We always get the boquerones - I love the way they prepare the fresh anchovies! We also had a cheese plate, with a selection of dry, ripe, and blue Spanish cheeses - all of which were excellent and presented with very complimentary sides - the pear and apricot compote with the blue cheese was a personal favorite! We also had the patatas bravas (fried potatoes), lamb skewers, oysters, grilled shrimp, and stuffed piquillo peppers. EVERYTHING was a delight. The wine list is also exceptional. I had a delicious albarino, and a txacolina rose that was outstanding. We finished with the Tarta de Queso - which was delicious. Tangy, and lightly sweet. A perfect end to a great meal! Not just one of my favorite restaurants in Asheville, but one of my favorites period. I love Curate! read more

Delicious tapas! We came by for a Saturday lunch - note if you order paella it does take some extra time to wait for it. We ordered the eggplant, shrimp in garlic sauce, seafood paella, burger, and brioche dessert. The fried eggplant with honey was delicious and unique! I loved the shrimp - super flavorful and the sauce was perfect to dip bread in. Burger was juicy but a bit to salty and saucy for me. The paella was the winner - it didn't look like much but the flavor was amazing and went great with a garlicky sauce. Not fishy but you could taste the seafood taste. We were pretty full but I couldn't help but order dessert. The soaked brioche was more firm than expected but I didn't mind. Enjoyed the carmelized top and the gelato on top was refreshing! read more

Great Spanish tapas bar. We were recommended by family to sit at the chef's counter. We enjoyed watching the food come together. Cocktails were excellent, though service could've been more attentive and personable. We did the "Spanish Experience," which was a great deal and a good way to try highlights. Pan con tomate was delicious (would add cheese next time), and the paleta de bellota was fresh and high quality. The Josper-grilled veggies were smoky and flavorful. Octopus was just okay--too soft and thinly sliced. Lamb skewers were tender and surprisingly mild. We were still hungry after, so we ordered the mac & cheese--smoky but oddly tangy. Their dessert is quite creative. I had the pan con chocolate but didn't quite fit my palate. Overall, a spot worth trying, especially for the chef's counter. read more

Unfortunately Curate fell short for me. The service was great but the food did not deliver. Did not enjoy the meat and cheese board and did not enjoy the squid rice. All the food I decided to try I've have in the past at similar restaurants and this just wasn't it. read more

A really nice restaurant whose chef is friends with Jose Andreas so you know it will be meat forward!! Busy but got our table quickly with our reservations. Grabbed some cocktails. All were unique and made well. For food we started with chistorra & chips jose's way. curate chorizo wrapped in potato chips. Really tasty. Needed a dipping sauce though. Next we had some macarrones del cardenal. spanish mac and cheese, chorizo sofrito, ibérico pork and breadcrumbs. Pretty tasty and not too heavy. Also grabbed some mushrooms. Very tasty. Service was great. Didn't wait long for anything. Nice and relaxing dinner. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and very pleasant server. Food was overall tasty. The portions for the price did have us making jokes at the table lol. Not pictured was the manchego cheese which came with 4 slices so thin they were almost translucent. The verduras were thin leeks over romesco for what $17 or $18? Lamb skewers, same scenario. I'd recommend if you're going for maybe drinks and a couple of tapas then dinner somewhere else afterwards but value is just super poor. read more

I wanted to really love the place - especially after the hype from my friends, but this was our least favorite lunch/dinner we had in Asheville this week. For drinks - we got the sangria - which wasn't all that great. I paid a lot for ice. Next time - just get the wine. My husband also got a glass of vermouth - which he did like. For our meal - we got 1/2 order of the ham croquettes, 1/2 order of Chistorra & Chips José's Way, Gambas Al Ajillo, Patatas Bravas, and Pulpo a La Gallega. Our least fave was the gambas / shrimp. They were overcooked and had very little garlic. Dissapointed in the Chistorra b/c it was litearlly fried chorizo w/ maybe some chips in there? We enjoyed the potatoes and the ham croquettes. But sadly - nothing stood out to us that we "wanted" to go back. read more

We drove all the way from Winston-Salem to come to Asheville yesterday and stopped here first. The reviews led me here and this restaurant was pretty good. We had a nice table for six and we ordered a lot! The mussels were average. The octopus was disappointing because it was too bland but we didn't want spicy. The shrimp were pretty good especially the garlic that accompanied it. I think the stand out dish of the day was the butternut squash soup with trout. We have two bowls of it because it was so small. The portions are definitely not large here so you have to order two of everything. Overall, I would say 3 1/2 stars read more

Decided to go here after seeing Chef Katie on the Culinary Cookoff. Good variety of menu items since it is a tapas place. Everything was good but very inconsistent value for some items. Shrimp plate was a great deal but the cheese bread was a terrible value. I would have a better idea of what to order next time but I think the pricing could be better aligned to the value of the dish. Inside was a bit crowded and noisy, but overall we enjoyed it. read more

Absolutely incredible through and through. There is not one thing about our experience that we would change. Food- you can't go wrong with anything you order. We wanted to order everything on the menu and just chose what suited us at the time. I would say 4 dishes for two people is perfect. Service - impeccable service. Attentive, informative and kind through and through. Ambiance- interior was spacious but quaint and warm at the same time. People may hype this place for good reason, it's worth it. Those that tell you to skip this place don't listen to them. Worth every penny! read more

If you're craving tapas, Cúrate is the place to go. Katie Button and Felix Meana built Cúrate around the Spanish meaning of its name, "heal yourself." The restaurant also offers some unique concepts, including its own wine club and an online market to help you "curate at home." I highly recommend making reservations, as the dining room was completely packed over the weekend. The restaurant itself is spacious, with about 75 seats in the main dining area and around 20 at the bar. The space feels inviting and casual, with a touch of sophistication thanks to its colorful décor. FOOD: I recommend ordering 2-3 tapas dishes per person. The menu features around 40 items spanning small bites, charcuterie and cheeses, soups and salads, sandwiches, grilled options, sautéed dishes, and desserts. 1. Croquetas de Jamón (Creamy ham fritters, 3/5): I've had better ham fritters. These were just okay. 2. Jamón Ibérico de Bellota (Back leg cut of Iberian pig, 4/5): Simple and delicious. I would definitely order more charcuterie next time. 3. Berenjenas con Miel (Fried eggplant with honey, 4/5): Five pieces of fried eggplant with a light drizzle of honey. The sweetness didn't overpower the dish. 4. Setas al Jerez (Mushroom variety, 3/5): A mix of mushrooms cooked with sherry. It was fine, didn't leave anything memorable though. 5. Bomba de Pulpo (Spicy octopus and potato croquette, 5/5): My second favorite dish of the night. Only two pieces, but the ratio of octopus to potato was perfect. It didn't register as spicy to us. 6. Gambas al Ajillo (Sautéed shrimp with sherry broth, 4/5): Five shrimp served in a sherry broth with chili, garlic, and bay leaf. Very good. 7. Mejillones a la Marinera (PEI mussels, 5/5): My favorite of the night. The buttered seafood and chicken broth was outstanding. Easily shareable among three people. 8. Rossejat Negro (Paella-style squid ink dish, 3/5): Plenty of squid pieces, but the dish felt like it was missing something. It's a simple thin pasta cooked with squid ink and served with squid and a small side of aioli. Shareable among three people. Our server explained the dishes included in the Spanish Experience ($70 per person), an alternative to ordering à la carte. Service was excellent. Our drinks and water glasses were always refilled. There was, however, a delay with one dish, so we ended up canceling it. Would I come back? Yes. read more

Heard a lot of good things about Curate and can confirm they were all true. First off the service was top notch. Our waitress was super helpful, answered all questions and provided suggestions. We went with chistorra chips Jose's Way. These were excellent. Very crispy and delicious. We then tried the pulpo a la gallega. The octopus was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. From there we tried gambas al ajillo. The shrimp were well seasoned and the sauce was delicious. We then went with the macarrones del cardenal. This was also very flavorful and delicious. Lastly we tried the croquetas de jamon. The crispy outside and the warm inside were a hit. No complaints about Curate and can't wait to visit again. read more

Awesome lunch as we sat at the bar. The hostess only had two places at the end of the bar and we loved it. The server was so good, attentive but not hovering. The shrimp sandwich was so tasty, we wanted another, but chose patatas fritas instead, and couldn't eat more, sadly. I loved watching the most efficient chefs prepare all the delicious meals. wish we lived in Asheville so we could go back for more. read more

Food was delicious and server was excellent! Rustic but very nice ambiance. Not inexpensive, but dishes were all excellent. We tried several selections for sharing amongst the 4 of us. Only negative was that, I could have ordered each dish twice - there wasn't enough! read more

Curate did not disappoint. The unique menu allows for multiple options. Portions are large and shareable. The shrimp was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The trout was cooked with the skin on and was deboned. The sauce and spices underneath the fish added a lemon like flavor with basil to your palette. The fried potatoes were crispy and had a tomato paste with a unique spicy sauce. The almonds and bread with tomatoes and cheese were perfect. The atmosphere was inviting. Being close to where the appetizers were being made was intriguing. Our server was awesome and guided us through the different options and explained the dishes very well. read more

The place looks really good from the decor, paintings etc. Very friendly and attentive staff no complaints on service. Now for us the food wasn't all that. I had the lamb skewers and for $24 only two with some seasonings. It was pretty bland and needed to more flavorful for how little you are given & its price. As an appetizer we had the ham fritters and it was luke warm, tasted ok but not much to write about. The potatoes (patatas bravas) wasn't bad it could have been cooked a little longer for a better crisp. My date liked her mussels but said the baguette & the pickles that came with my lamb was the best things out of an overall bland and not flavorful meal. For the price point I did not find it worth it. The portions should have been more but try for yourself. Once again staff & place great. Food and price points were a thumbs down. read more

The service was good and everything tasted good. I know everything is expensive these days, but $12 for the pan con tomatoes seemed a bit high. Basically four slices of baguette with a smear of warm cooked tomatoes. Yet the gambas al ajillo was a decent price for this dish. The pimientos de piquillo rellenos were delicious and also a good value. read more

3*A ok We came about 30 minutes before the kitchen closed, so we ordered quickly. This place was lively and the open kitchen hummed away getting out Tapas. Our server made good reccomdations. My Paper Plane drink was not balanced at all. This drink is made with equal parts of all of the ingredients, yet the lemon over powered everything! I told my server and she quickly took it away. I did not order another drink. My mussels were tasty. I wish there were more for the price. I will add this place to my Asheville rotation. Check it out! read more

This place is way over rated. I don't really understand the hype. We had the cheese plate, Iberico ham, ham croquettes, the piquillo peppers, the papayas bravas, and the garlic shrimp. None of it was anything to write home about. We visited Spain in March of this year and while the menu was reminiscent of Spain the food was not. Also our service was odd. We're from out of town but live in an area with a lot of authentic Spanish food. This place was a pretty big disappointment. read more

On this trip to Asheville, I managed to knock one high-priority place off my list, and I couldn't be more elated. I was temporarily living in Asheville when Cúrate opened and could never secure a reservation. I haven't been back often since then, but when I decided to do a weekend trip, making a resy here was a top priority. I made a late lunch time resy so I could stuff myself and then walk it off. Turns out that was a perfect plan. When I walked in, the place was buzzing. The ambiance is Spanish fused with restaurant chic. Very tastefully done. My server was Melissa, and she was fabulous. She went through the menu, answered my questions, and gave me some awesome suggestions, including doing some half orders since I was dining alone. I really wanted to do the chef's choice, but it wasn't possible with one person, so she curated something similar with some dishes not featured on the chef's choice. She did a fantastic job of putting this all together, which speaks to her knowledge of the menu. To drink, I ordered the red sangria, which was delicious and chock-full of fresh fruit. To eat, I ordered a half order of pan con tomate with manchego, a half order of patatas bravas, the pulpo a la gallega, and a half order of croquetas de setas. Everything was delicious. The pan con tomate was doused with good-quality olive oil, which really elevated the dish. The patatas bravas and croquetas were piping hot. The croquetas were crispy on the outside and gooey and bursting with flavor on the inside, just like proper croquetas should be. My favorite dish was the pulpo a la gallega. The octopus was perfectly cooked and seasoned, served with the creamiest potato puree and doused with more delicious olive oil. It was divine. I left just on the brink of being stuffed, but I certainly would have stayed for more if I could have. Overall, this restaurant is certainly worth the hype in terms of food and service. I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Cúrate - Pan con Tomate, - Tapas Bars Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Service: The service, while adequate, lacked the attentiveness and warmth one would expect given the dining room was operating well below capacity. Staff appeared disengaged and mechanical in their interactions, suggesting a lack of motivation or enthusiasm on the part of the front-of-house team that evening. Ambiance: The atmosphere was generally pleasant. Being seated adjacent to the food preparation area and bar provided an entertaining vantage point, as the kitchen staff appeared energetic and genuinely invested in their work -- a stark contrast to the front-of-house experience. Food: Unfortunately, the cuisine fell well short of what the price point would lead one to expect. The lamb arrived overcooked, dry, and at an unacceptably cool temperature. The grilled green onions were similarly served cold and at a level of toughness that necessitated a separate knife -- a presentation choice that speaks to a broader indifference toward the guest experience. Most dishes were further compromised by an excessive use of a noticeably low-grade olive oil. A recurring concern throughout the meal was the strong impression that dishes had been prepared in advance and merely reheated, with grill marks applied for appearance. There was little evidence of attention to serving temperature, ingredient quality, or culinary detail. Overall: This establishment appears to be past its prime. While it may satisfy a more casual diner, those seeking an authentic and well-executed southern European dining experience are likely to find it lacking. For the price charged, the overall value proposition is difficult to justify. read more

It's been over 10 years and half a dozen or more visits since my original 5-star review, and despite the challenge of maintaining high standards and the effects of COVID and Hurricane Helene, Curate never ceases to disappoint. Despite the many great dining options in Asheville, we always eat at Curate when we're in town. Sometimes -- as was the case most recently -- we had BOTH lunch AND dinner here on the same day. And didn't have to repeat a single dish. My only wish: Bring back the ensalada rusa. read more

Catalan Bocadilla (5/5): Phenomenal sandwich. The bread was perfect (crispy and chewy), the sauce was delicious, and I loved the peppers. I only wish the sausage had a stronger flavor (it was like a very mild bratwurst). Patatas Bravas (5/5): Very good sauce that was sweet, tangy, and just a bit spicy. The potatoes could've been crispier and there was maybe a bit too much sauce. Berenjenas con Miel (4/5): Lightly fried eggplant with honey. I don't like eggplant usually, but I really enjoyed this. Light and airy. Bomba de Pulpo (4/5): Octopus croquet with a nice outer crisp and creamy inner filling. I wish the octopus pieces were bigger because the flavor was definitely there, but the texture wasn't.

Came here for late lunch on a weekday and was seated quickly, with the restaurant being less than half full. Great food and atmosphere! For appetizer I had the octopus which tastes very tender in texture, with light seasoning and I thought it was a good start to a meal. For main, I had the paella of the week which I thought was very flavorful and filling. The crema catalana for dessert is my favorite. The custard was super creamy and the caramelized sugar and sea salt add a nice touch of complexity in flavor, with a hint of rosemary for a fresh taste. Service was courteous and fast. read more
