This restaurant never disappoints. I hesitate to write a glowing review for fear we’ll never get a table again. It’s always been packed lately. But that would not be fair to the owners and the staff, especially the chef who consistently turns out dishes like the ones we ate this evening, delectable scallops and a thick pork chop, both juicy and tender. I’d like to try the other salads, but might never because the blue cheese salad is just that good.

I had the flounder sandwich and it was excellent. The room was decorated and very appealing and inviting with a fire and wonderful view of the grounds. There is a patio and plan to visit in the spring and sit outside. Everything was well done and definitely recommend. A beautiful drive through Cruso from Waynesville.

Rendevous is always outstanding. What I like about Rendevous first of all is the staff. Everyone is super friendly and very qualified at what they do. The ambience was absolutely beautiful with the Christmas season and the holidays approaching. But honestly, the very best thing is the food. It is spectacular every single time. The sauces are absolutely amazing and the meals are cooked to perfection. Thank you so much! We love it there! Our absolute favorite restaurant in Asheville.

Posana was excellent as always. However the restaurant temperature was way too hot. Customers and staff were complaining about it. Why couldn’t this be rectified?
