Best Historic Restaurants in Arden

I think it's easy to say that Luminosa is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Asheville (if not the best), both in terms of food and service. Graham House is completely on top of his game - every bite is simply perfect.

This restaurant blew our expectations away. Menu choices are appropriately limited, and the food is exceptional. I mean....WOW level of exceptional. The service couldn't have been better. Very responsive and attentive. The restaurant is inside what was an old Biltmore Estate horse barn. Such a great experience. Honestly, the best restaurant we've been to in Asheville.

Our waiter, Daphne was superb. Great service and a fine dining experience. Delicious root vegetables and salad with pomegranate, squash, pecans, goat cheese. We had a wonderful evening and ended it by sharing the chocolate mousse which was decadent.

I recently visited Elevations Chophouse, and I can’t say enough about how perfect the experience was! The steaks were cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and so tender. The ambiance was warm and elegant, which made the evening feel special. Big thanks to the staff for their outstanding service – they made us feel like VIPs!

This was a girls weekend for us and we enjoyed the setting and location of District 42. We didn’t realize it was at a hotel and never once felt like we were in a hotel. Set in the middle of the city it was fun to have our first evening there!
