Chestnut - A Solid Asheville Gem…read more We had a lovely dinner at Chestnut and would definitely return. From the moment we sat down, the service was extremely attentive -- the kind of attentiveness that feels genuine rather than hovering. We started with the lobster bisque, and honestly, it was fabulous. Both my husband and I were swooning over it -- rich, perfectly seasoned, and worth every bite. For my entree, I opted for the Mushroom en Croûte from the medium plates menu since I wasn't feeling particularly hungry. The concept is beautiful -- herb roasted mushrooms tucked into puff pastry with ramp whipped brie, Madeira jus, asparagus ribbons, and truffle salt. It was good, but for me it ran a little rich and felt one-note after a few bites. If you have a bigger appetite or love bold, earthy flavors, you might enjoy it more than I did. My husband went with the shrimp and grits and absolutely loved them -- completely cleaned his plate, which says everything! Overall, a great experience in a city full of fantastic dining options. The service alone makes it worth a visit, and that bisque? Don't skip it.

Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere (if you're a plant lover like me you'll love all the greenery) and the best London Fog I've had in Greenville! I also had the chicken salad wrap for $12 which was pricey but the salad was really good although the wrap itself was a little dry. I recommend this place and I'll be back!

Fig was a pleasant surprise for a late lunch in Biltmore Village. After a full morning of…read moresightseeing in the River Arts District, we stopped at Fig for something simple, but also had low expectations since the surrounding area seemed a bit touristy. We had the pup in tow so we were forced to sit outside on the patio where it was quite chilly. However, they offered us outdoor space heaters which kept us perfectly warm. Our server was super friendly and gave us great recommendations. I started with a cup of hot coffee but was quickly convinced to follow it up with a glass of red wine. I had to order the bolognese after recommendation from the server and it was fantastic. The pasta was al dente and the red sauce was tasty. I also tried the seasonal soup - the butternut squash, which was hearty and perfect on such a cold day. The egg salad sandwich was STACKED and topped with smoked salmon. Everything we tried was delicious - I'm sad to see they were impacted by Helene but hope to see them reopen soon!!

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 am so proud of my partner for picking this place because I love eating hearty for breakfast!

We ordered cocktails of Bloody Mary that was well garnished & ordered their seasonal special of beet cocktail and just one glass was enough, it had such a refreshing taste!

It was elevated Southern cuisine, and we enjoyed it enough that we may go back before leaving the area. The restaurant has a comfortable feel -- upscale, but not stuffy. The service was excellent. The servers were personable and attentive without hovering. At one point, I accidentally dropped my napkin, and our server immediately brought me another one. Our water glasses were continually refilled, and our server checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. My partner and I liked so many things on the menu that we knew ordering soup, salad, an appetizer, and entrées would be too much. We told our server we were sharing, and for most of the courses, they divided the portions and brought them out on separate plates. That was another small touch that showed they were paying attention to detail. There wasn't anything we had that we wouldn't order again. We started with the seasonal soup, which was a tomato bisque, followed by the strawberry and feta salad. The country ham board was excellent and actually had me looking for Lusty Monk mustard the next day. For our main entrée, we shared the shrimp and grits, which was also delicious. Great food, thoughtful service, and a comfortable upscale atmosphere. This was the best meals we had in the area.

Comfortably tucked away behind their own relaxation facade, this location in downtown is the definition of good ole' southern cuisine, cozy and welcoming environment, with service unmatched! Our two dishes ordered = perfection! Service = unreal. Maya was incredible. She made this experience (already a great one as soon as you walk in) to beyond comprehension. She delivers a type of service and expertise that I've only experienced in other places like Inn at Little Washington or French Laundry. Maya, you were awesome! Thank you.

My fiancé took me here for my birthday, and I felt celebrated every step of the way. Our server Laura brought us a complimentary small bite before the meal and after dessert.

It felt very fresh due to the farm to table nature of the restaraunt. We started with the cheddar biscuits, which were a hit. My short rib with polenta and roast veggies was delectable and a very generous portion! Finally, we ordered 1 dessert but they brought us a trio. I was wowed by the cheesecake and olive oil cake!
