You can tell they really want you to get comfortable and enjoy yourself because they put butcher paper on the table. Eat the goodies and leave the shells behind is the message I received. And right now they're playing some Christmas music with a little boogie to it, so I know the play list is jumping in a regular day. I would eat here again-and when I do, I'm ordering those greens-so be ready Crab DJ

I stumbled across Locals Seafood while visiting the WNC Farmers Market looking for veggies, and I'm…read morevery glad I did. It is a branch of Locals Seafood at the Raleigh Farmers Market. Almost all the markets in the Asheville area only carry frozen/defrosted seafood. I was born in a little fishing village in New England, three houses from the docks, and am used to buying fish directly from the boat, so frozen just wasn't getting me what I craved. Locals Seafood has its own trucks to bring in fish fresh from the boats on the North Carolina coast. This might lead to slightly higher costs than at the megamarts, but premium quality is always worth at least that, if not more. Over the last month I have tried their Tile Fish, Swordfish, Snapper and Black Drum, and every meal was wonderful, the fish was pristine fresh, firm and flaky. The staff is great, very friendly and attentive, and always willing to share cooking tips and tricks. the store is squeaky clean, all the fresh fish resting on ice, which they pack with your fish to keep it cold on the way home. I have subscribed to their weekly email announcing what is going to be available on the weekend.

We visited Stone Ridge Tavern on a Sunday for lunch. We got there for the early seating - by the…read moretime we left, people were waiting to be seated... this place is popular! Though we came at lunch time, we were provided with the dinner menu (so I guess it's all-day dinner on weekends). I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes as a starter, which is served with feta cheese and a balsamic reduction. The tomatoes were thickly cut and ate a bit clunky. Because of their size, I think there was some steaming action going on, as the tomatoes were soggy on the inside. I always enjoy a balsamic reduction, and liked the flavor on the dish overall. They were heavy-handed with the feta. This was the first time that I had fried green tomatoes served with feta - I'm used to a fresher topping such as a corn salsa. Regardless, the batter on the fried green tomatoes was delicious - I have high confidence that any of their battered dishes would be equally satisfying! I opted to order the bruschetta flatbread as my entree. It was loaded with toppings - tomatoes, spinach, goat cheese, grilled chicken, and more of that tasty balsamic reduction. It's typically served as a starter, so this is another dish that's great for sharing. My sister ordered the homemade southwestern chicken soup. This is definitely a southern-style soup - think cream-based... almost dip/queso-like. It was also served with tortilla chips as a garnish. She also ordered a side of the rice pilaf which was a generous serving size for a side - we thought it would be a small bowl size, but it was a whole plateful. However, it was way too salty. One of their signatures is their Gyro Pita Sandwich, which comes with a side of fries. We were able to swap the plain French fries for their sweet potato fries, which are always a hit. The menu describes this dish as the real deal and hey- no complaints! The gyro was tender and flavorful and comes with tzatziki. This is a solid dish. Service was friendly but not super present. We would have to flag our waitress down for drink refills and weren't really checked on once the food came out. It's a pretty casual but also busy place, so I'm not expecting to be waited on hand and foot, but they could bump up the attentiveness a hair. Food and ambiance were good overall... nothing amazing, but it's a safe bet. Stone Ridge Tavern has a good variety of dishes offered on the menu. I recommend this place for large groups - there's something for everyone - and I was pleased with portion sizes.

We walked in without a reservation, sat down, and had the kind of long, unhurried dinner that feels increasingly rare. Nobody rushed us. They let us share plates without hesitation. The menu is billed as New American, and that's the right phrase for it -- genuinely eclectic, pulling from Spanish, French bistro, and Southern influences without committing to any one of them. The pork chop was excellent. The grilled carrots were genuinely memorable. The green salad was simple and well done. Our waiter recommended a wine that we were pleased with, and even offered a tasting. The wine list is deep for a room this size, and the cocktail list looks the same. Music was at that sweet-spot volume where you can hear your conversation partner and still hear the song. You could bring your parents, or come on a date, it works either way. Some farm-to-table places feel pretentious; this one doesn't. They don't make you feel dumb for not knowing every local distributor. One small gripe: a 3% "kitchen staff fee" printed on the back of the menu. I'm all for paying the kitchen, but I'd rather see it built into the prices up front. 4.7 Stars. What would push it to a solid five stars: drop the hidden fee and bake it into the menu prices. That's genuinely the only thing standing between this and a perfect night out.
