Restaurants near Asheville Civic Center

The food was absolutely amazing! Three of us shared the lamb with mushroom risoto and green beans, shrimp and ham with grits, and pumpkin risoto. They were all so good that no one had a favorite, and all three were gluten free! The restaurant was full so nothing came out quickly, but our server, Allen, was great and the food was worth the wait.

We had cocktails and appetizers this evening. Food was great and ambience was as well.

This is what fine dining is supposed to be: elegant, meticulous, and divine! Walking down the stairs, we knew we were in for a fantastic experience. The starched and pressed white tablecloths and immaculate Christmas decor set the scene with the sun setting beyond the Pisgah National Forrest - this is what you see in Hallmark movies and nostalgic photos. Our table, tucked away and facing the sun, was an ideal setting for our date night. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The backlit menus were a nice touch for 50-year-old eyes, and the options were seemingly endless and succulent. Without hesitation, the chef accommodated food sensitivities without sacrificing the presentation or flavors. The squash and she-crab soups were a great way to start our meals. The short ribs and lamb were perfectly seasoned and prepared. I get lamb whenever it is available. I can say, without question, that this was the best flavored, perfectly cooked, and tender lamb I have ever eaten. If you are looking for a place to take that special someone, The Dining Room at Biltmore Estates is the place. A simply amazing dining experience!

Location makes for easy parking. Pleasant ambience, friendly staff even if English proficiency is variable. Being a Brazilian steakhouse, the meats were well prepared and plentiful.

Our server Rachel was fantastic and everything met expectations
