    Awesome iced coffee with oat milk and great Ambiance. Was on a bike ride through town and it gave me the kick I needed to keep on riding.

    Well I apologize for the very long delay on submitting this review. Yanno life gets in the way…read more.. Anyhoo, this place.... Wow... Really really enjoy this establishment. Not only it was on my birthday in which we celebrated. But our excursion to the mountains for the long weekend was a fantastic time. As you can see through the pictures we really went all the way my dish was as abundance of seafood that you could have with an amazing cioppino sauce that was also soppable with crusty garlic bread. The beverages were on point, they have a great menu of bourbons. Will not disappoint. As a surprise they gave me a flourless chocolate Bundt cake to take home with a candle. Being with the family is always a warm unforgettable experience. There is something to be said about being surrounded by people who care and love so much. I'm in bliss. Until next time ...

    We recently visited Whiskey and Water Seafood and Bourbon Bar and had an overall enjoyable…read moreexperience with a few standout items. For drinks, the Sweater Weather was the clear winner--well-balanced and thoughtfully crafted. The combination of Bulleit rye, La Pommiere Calvados, and sorghum created a smooth, seasonal cocktail with nice depth. The Properly Poached was decent but didn't quite impress in the same way; the Brugal Añejo, pear liqueur, dark wildflower honey, and pink salt made for an interesting profile, though it leaned a bit flat compared to the first cocktail. We started with the broiled sweet crab dip served fondue-style with pita chips, which was a great opener. It was warm, creamy, and rich, with good crab flavor that made it easy to keep going back for more. For entrées, the blackened mahi fish tacos were fresh and flavorful. The mango pico added a nice brightness, and the cilantro crema tied everything together nicely on the corn tortillas. The smash burger was another solid choice--juicy double patties with melted American cheese, crispy onion rings, house sauce, and house-made pickles that added a great tangy crunch. Service was ok waitress took a bit to bring the drinks and then the food took about 30+ minutes luckily we were entertained by talking to locals that we really weren't concerned. Overall, the restaurant delivers a pleasant upscale-casual dining experience with well-executed comfort favorites and creative cocktails. Definitely worth a visit, especially for the crab dip and the Sweater Weather cocktail and the fish tacos those were my overall favorites. Prices are mid range. Note that the restaurant as most restaurants in the Blue Ridge close early.

    Wow. Wow. Wow. This was our first visit snd we were blown away by everything. The food, the energy,…read morethe 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!

    I did my research for dinner restaurants before heading to Asheville- both via Yelp and by asking…read morefriends. 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!

    A Hidden Gem Worth Seeking Out…read more Wildwood Still is a fun find -- just know that the entrance can be a little tricky! There's an elevator in the alley outside, but we ended up taking the elevator inside the main lobby of The Moxy, which worked perfectly. Don't let the navigation stress you out; it's worth the effort once you get there. The vibe is a really cool blend of lounge and restaurant -- relaxed enough to linger, but polished enough to feel like a night out. We opted for three small plates and one large plate to share, which turned out to be a great way to sample the menu. Everything was well done and kept us wanting more bites. If you're a whiskey or bourbon fan, you'll be in heaven -- the selection is impressive and one of the clear highlights. Our server was friendly, clearly knew the menu inside and out, and did a great job staying attentive on what was a very busy Saturday night. We had a genuinely great time and would absolutely recommend Wildwood Still for a fun evening out. We'll be back!

    GREAT ROOFTOP RESTAURANT!…read more We had a great time, the restaurant is so open that even if you aren't on the patio you still enjoy the breeze and view of the outside. Drinks were yummy. All food tasted good. A highlight of the night was the calamari and shrimp. Maybe it's a bit of a reading comprehension issue, but for the bao buns we (a table of 5 people) all read the number 5 and thought it meant it came with 5 bao, but it was actually for 2 bao and the menu meant 5 spice as in 5 spices. I feel like the menu should reword the description to remove the number 5, or be more clear that it actually comes with 2 especially for the price!!!! The description literally started with the number 5, which makes it confusing. This place ain't cheap, and I do like to splurge. Service didn't seem to match the price point of this restaurant, service should be high end with high end prices. All in all, I'd come again but it's not my favorite choice in downtown Asheville.
