    My friend and I came here for brunch on Sunday around 12:30 and it wasn't busy which was nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating and is dog friendly which was nice cause my friend brought her dog. I got the iced dirty chai latte with almond milk, a diet coke, and the avocado toast with side of tots. I added an egg to my toast, which i'm glad otherwise it wouldn't have been much flavor and the toast itself was alright. The tots were yummy and you get a lot for the sides! My friend got OJ, iced latte, and the breakfast bowl. She said her breakfast bowl was delicious. We sat outside and they have water bowls for dogs which is nice. There's lots of seating options too, great for big groups and families. The lattes were yummy too.

    This is blue, not mid-rare.

    I really want to leave a better rating for this lovely spot, but sadly honesty ad dedication to the craft of cooking prevents me from doing so. Let's start with what is great about Haywood Common: The service is friendly and the FOH crew do a fantastic job. Very approachable and lovely group of people. The interior is warm if a bit "live" acoustically, but that's ok. It works. Nice selection of beers on tap and a fully stocked bar. As a non-drinker, I was very happy to enjoy the house-brewed sweet tea. Restrooms are clean, well-lit, and well-provisioned. Ten out of ten for FOH and atmosphere. Now to what COMPLETELY missed the mark: my food. I ordered the Steak Frite (steak fries) and was gleefully anticipating that wonderful mix of seared meat and hand-cut fries that is my happy place. I ordered my steak mid-rare. The plate came out in a reasonable amount of time and I will say the chimichurri was fantastic. The hand-cut fries well prepared. The steak, however, was a total fail. Did I mention I ordered my meat mid-rare? That's 145f internal, which requires a hard sear on the outside. Now, I don't mind a rare steak. But I do find a cold, blue piece of meat...problematic. When I say cold, I mean there was no WAY that steak was 145f internal. The interior of the meat was actually not even room temperature. There was no sear, and barely any grill marks on the steak. There was also zero seasoning on the meat. Salt and pepper on a grilled steak, guys, come on! Basic stuff. I managed to eat about half of it, reserving the other half for my very happy dog. Back to the excellent service. I never return food. Ever. Because I don't want it thrown out. And I worked BOH for my entire culinary career (garde manger, broiler, sauté, grill, saucier, sous, expo, chef d'cuisine) so I'm not about to hassle the line as a paying customer. But I will, absolutely and without fail, provide direct and immediate feedback to the line via FOH staff when they miss the mark. So, I approached the incredibly friendly bartender and asked him if I could show him the plate and what was wrong. He was extremely accommodating, listened to the feedback, and offered a few different suggestions on how he might make it right. I politely declined having the remaining steak cooked off as it had already been cut for presentation and putting it back on the heat would just hammer it. At $23 for four pieces of meat, I would prefer it to be done correctly the first time--seared, seasoned, to temp. He immediately offered me a refund, which I also said wasn't necessary, but he insisted and in fact refunded my entire meal with a genuine smile and a fist bump. This guy is killing it. Again: service excellence. He also said he informed the chef about the problem, but chef decided that he wouldn't deign to actually come out and talk to me, which is disappointing. Stand by your food and own it when your line misses the mark. There's no way I'd let a diner leave my restaurant unhappy with my food. But hey, I guess I'm a proud of my cooking. Maybe next time I'll order the tuna poke bowl, since that's supposed to be raw. TLDR: service: six stars; food: two stars. Averages out to 3. There ya go.

    Great vibes while visiting! Enjoyed a beer in their outdoor area. Visited during a weekday, staff was not as helpful with offering up ideas on what to order but beers were refreshing and delicious. The Reuben sandwich was interesting not our favorite. Overall nice to sit and feel comfortable working and talking to friends at outside section and great location for enjoying a beer after hike or shopping locally.

    Thai Salad with Chicken

    We were thrilled to be able to bookend the start and finish of our weekend trip to Asheville at Haywood Common. We loved their mission of supporting local while maintaining a laidback atmosphere with a unique twist on traditional bar food. We were able to scope out both the "all day" and brunch menus and both offered a variety of seasonal menu offerings. Some of our favorite menu items we got to try were the feta fries, Thai buffalo chicken sandwich, and Thai salad. We also loved their twists on sauces and dressings. Service was friendly and prompt. They were more than happy to make any modifications to accommodate our orders. Pricing was more than fair. We would definitely recommend this local establishment to any local or visitor!

    Another fantastic trip to Haywood Common. Did I order the same buffalo tofu? Of course. This time we sat outside and had an order of sweet potato fries to go along with the warm afternoon sun. One of my favorite sandwiches and just as tasty as the first time I had this.

    Thai buffalo wings
    Madison T.

    Awesome food joint with indoor and outdoor seating available, friendly staff, and unique appealing decor. My go to is the bulgogi bowl with pork (to die for) and he goes for the Thai buffalo sauce chicken wings. We share the feta fries. We leave fat and happy. Love this place and can't wait to come back!

    Thai Buffalo Chicken or Tofu, Hawaiian Portobello, Brussels Sprouts
    Jeremy G.

    The food here is so exciting, with variety and generous portions. I hope to come back someday and try more of the menu! It is quick service where you order at the counter and take a table number. Thai Buffalo Tofu - this was really flavorful and saucy with a great amount of toppings Hawaiian Portobello is a rice bowl with a lot of fun fix-ins. My only critique is that it lacks protein, but edamame or tofu would be welcome additions Brussels Sprouts came in a great portion, easily shareable. It is not overly fried and the maple vinaigrette is a great balance with a hint of sweetness.

    The Thai buffalo chicken sandwich here is phenomenal. Great flavor with the mix of Thai buffalo sauce, ponzu, slaw, and "charred ginger mayo" all atop a perfectly crispy fried chicken thigh on a Hawaiian bun. 10/10, gimme 17 of em.

    We love being able to visit Asheville to support the local community and tourism. I really enjoyed Haywood Common's Kale Caesar salad which was beautifully plated and a perfect combo of parmesan, cornbread crumble, Caesar fish sauce dressing and pepperoncini which tasted more like marinated artichokes to me. I love marinated artichokes btw! The chicken was a bit chewy, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. Next time I will go chicken-less. Beautiful indoor decor, outside mural and friendly service. I would definitely go back.

    This was the first stop when me and the boo arrived in Asheville. He'd seen a pic of their chicken & waffles on IG and was intrigued. We arrived around 11:00 ish on a Sunday morning and it was not busy at all. We parked in the nearby lot and placed our orders. I went with the breakfast sandwich on sourdough and, of course, he got the chicken & waffles. I also got an iced oat milk latte. We took our number and buzzer and made our way to the outdoor patio. They have ample outdoor patio seating and dog friendly. Once our food was ready, we dove right in. My sandwich was exactly what I wanted, buttery toast with eggs and bacon. The chicken and waffles are not your typical, given the description of the meal. Much more savory. I took bite and was struck by how overwhelming the slaw was over the chicken and waffles. The waffles had a great flavor that I wish I would've come through more. Would we go back? Yes. Perfect, low key spot for your brunch and lunch needs.

    Basic breakfast with scrambled eggs

    Great West Asheville spot to try. This is our first time and was pleasantly surprised. Cool location right off 240 in West Asheville. Plenty of outdoor seating and indoor as well. We had brunch and it was tasty. The chicken and waffles were delicious and the basic breakfast was anything but basic. Side salad tasted fresh as well. Staff were friendly and the inside was inviting. Overall it was a great spot for Sunday brunch!

    Wonderful food! We had a few surprises going to Cúrate for a late lunch on Saturday. 1. At 2:00pm,…read morethere was a waiting list. Luckily we sat at the bar on the kitchen side. The liquor bar and the kitchen stoves sit back-to-back. We had a birds-eye view of our food being prepared. The menus are in English, but have Greek and Spanish all over it. 2. The food is very filling. 3. We experienced flavors that were new, delicious, and satisfying. We started with the HUEVOS ROTOS - local potato chips,‌ ‌chorizo,‌ ‌and fried eggs. Never knew I would like this. It was so satisfying. We want to make this st home! Our drinks were the LA SUECA RED SANGRIA - garnacha, tempranillo, orange slice, strawberry, cinnamon, nectar. Very satisfying. Also the SPARKLING White SANGRIA - perelada cava, cognac, gin, triple sec, grapes, and blueberries. This was the best. If you only get water, I recommend the Vichy Sparkling water, it has a little salt flavor, add a twist of lemon and it is refreshing. The TORTILLA ESPAÑOLA - Spanish omelette, piquillo peppers, alioli looks deceivingly plane but is chock full of delicious flavors. Next was the JAMÓN sandwich - lady edison nc ham‌, tomato fresco, manchego. The bread was so good, with great taste in every bite. Finally, we finished with the SETAS AL JEREZ - selection of sautéed mushrooms, splash of sherry. Good to the last shroom. Melissa was our server who guided us through the menu and was very enthusiastic. We found out the Cúrate provides benefits and paid time off. Way to go! Tips: The restrooms are labeled "el bàñeo" and unisex. Very clean. Parking is on the street or in private lots, both paid. There are bag hops under the bar for your purse or bag.

My filet was honestly a little small and not the best. The crab topping was not lump - I'm a Virginia/Maryland gal- I know my crab and I know lump. It was a $19 add on, and it was ice cold...like very chilled. I said something, and was told that's normal. It chilled my filet. There was supposed to be a lovely bernaise sauce...there was not. It was dry, I pushed that crab off my now cold beef, ate what I had. It was later removed from the bill. The server did offer to correct the issue. Nevertheless, skip the crab. And I would not order the $59 tiny filet again either. Most of the sides were pretty good...I liked the green veggies. Potatoes were quite good too. Get the rolls, well worth it, Ambiance and service were fine. I'm not sure I'd return here for the price point. I would suggest looking further.

The buffet included either two eggs or brioche French toast cooked to order. I ordered breakfast entrées such as two eggs with sausage, toast, and fresh fruit, while my husband had the bacon version. I also tried the avocado and egg tacos in corn tortillas, which were good. They happened to be out of fresh avocados that morning, but rather than simply telling me the dish wasn't available, the chef got creative and used some puréed avocado they had for another dish. I appreciated the effort to make it work. Coffee was self-service and was good. Capella on 9 also has a rooftop terrace that looked like a lovely place to have a drink and enjoy the view. Even our trolley driver recommended going there for a drink. One thing to keep in mind is that the restaurant stops serving food before the bar closes. Our flight to Asheville was delayed almost five hours, and I was trying to determine whether we would still be able to have dinner when we arrived. I tried calling the restaurant but could only leave a message, so I called the AC Hotel Asheville Downtown front desk instead. Although the posted hours showed Capella on 9 open until 11:00 p.m., the front desk told me the restaurant stopped serving food at 10:30 p.m. Since I used to work at a bar, I knew the kitchen could close earlier than the bar and was glad I had checked. In the end, we didn't reach the hotel until around 11:00 p.m. anyway. We had originally thought we might have dinner there during our stay because the tapas-style, small-plate menu sounded perfect for the way we like to eat. We never ended up having dinner, however, because there weren't quite enough dishes on the menu that appealed to us. I would have loved to see a few more straightforward choices such as croquettes and small steak or chicken plates. With a few additions like those, we probably would have eaten there for dinner as well.
