    Pork Tenderloin with Two Eggs 'over medium' and home fries
    Danny G.

    Just a typical morning for breakfast- my wife gets biscuit and homemade gravy as advertised (which obviously comes from a can) and I get the pork tenderloin (hard fried jerky) 2 eggs over medium (which by the picture is no less than OVER done) home fries mediocre at best and 2 of the 4 slices of toast that I got (because the waitress dropped 2 after slinging them at us because she was flustered at the yelling coming from the kitchen- but at least the cook had the nerve to take all the waitresses back to the kitchen after gathering them all up on the floor in front of us before the battle took place back of house. Whatever the problem was they didn't mind trying to explain how mad they were and continued the vocal exchange each time they came in and out of the kitchen, the manager 'I assume' was none the wiser to all the commotion going on and kept his head down and continued to seat customers while on his phone. I won't even bring up the obvious mold all over the ceiling. I don't know if I was in an episode of Hell's Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares, but either way Gordon Ramsey would have been pissed and shut the restaurant down. We have given y'all 3 chances (3 too many) so I guess we are back to looking for a place for local breakfast on weekends. PS- with the price of everything now a day you should be honored the people want to spend their hard earned money with you and not take it for granted.

    Came here for a Thursday lunch after picking up my daughter from the Asheville airport. This restaurant is very clean and comfortable. Staff greeted us right away and we were seated right away. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We opted for the salad bar and great choice! Lettuce was fresh and crispy, cucumbers were crispy and the potato salad was so creamy. The chicken livers were delicious! Nice variety of food, Greek, Italian, American and seafood! Daily specials and a senior and kid's menu. Good quality food.

    Ok service. Food ok at best. Took about ten minutes after I was seated for the waiter to come up to the table. Get my check, went to the counter to pay, and ran into one of the guys seating people. Looks like he just got off a 3-day bender, and smelled like it as well. Waiting at the counter to pay, the older gentleman was snatching and throwing the receipts back at the lady in front of me. I go up to pay and he tells me the total and tries to snatch the cash out of my hand.

    Saturday and nobody here. The lamb Gyro was not very good and they really don't want to share their salad bar with you. We won't be back.

    Good food at a fair price, if you leave hungry, it's your fault they give generous portions

    Someone needs to tell them that grilled cheese sandwiches are not supposed to be limp and soggy.

This place was a fusion of Asian foods so I'm usually a bit reluctant to order anything too crazy so we stuck with what we knew. Spring rolls were fresh and tasty. Haven't had it with bell peppers before but it was good with the sauces. Green curry had good flavor but a touch loose for how I usually like it. Ginger salad came really overdressed so we didn't eat too much of that but we really liked the cucumbers. Whatever that sauce it was tossed in was very pleasant. We also enjoyed the stir fried eggplant dish with shrimp. It had a nice sweet and tangy flavor. Lastly I ordered the pad see ew, noodles cooked really well and all the textures were there. I could taste the char from the wok but it did lack that "sweet soy" flavor I'm looking for in this dish. I would say overall we enjoyed most of the dishes and some just needed a bit more flavor but it was still a good experience.
