Restaurants near The Esmeralda Inn and Restaurant

Excellent food as always. Please, please, PLEASE consider getting an extra frier for just your seafood. Postero is our favorite restaurant in our town, but we were disheartened to learn there is only 1 frier tonight because my gf is deathly allergic to shellfish. We appreciate the acknowledgement of her allergy, but a separate friar would mean more customers to the establishment who would otherwise avoid it for that reason. The food was delicious as always, though I do prefer the steak you cook with the green sauce as opposed to the salty steak sauce. Our waitress was fantastic. I believe she's served us before.

Food, staff and atmosphere was wonderful. Price they went up on price of Buffett along with parking. Very expensive but good for special occasions.

Great place all around! They were out of the wagyu steak which was #1 on my list to try but I chose the bison short rib and couldn't have been happier. Twisting my arm... ok I'll be back for the wagyu. The wedge salad was fresh! The pork belly with kimchi aioli hit all the right notes as an appetizer. My wife had the blackened shrimp and said it was incredible. We finished things off with the confetti cake. The texture took it up a notch! For an upscale casual dining experience it checks all of the boxes. You should make reservations now!

Started out the night with a VERY nice welcome. The server arrived at our table with a smile and quickly took our drink order. When she came back with our drinks, she explained some of the options on the menu. She wasn’t rushing us she just wanted us to make a great choice. Because of her explanation, my wife and I ordered something different than our original selections. The food came out hot and tasty. The server and restaurant were very busy but we never felt rushed or the time wasn’t too long in between courses. PERFECT pace. PERFECT food! PERFECT service. Did I mention everything was PERFECT?

Great meal from a gem in Ashville. From bar service to desert this was a fine evening thanks to a great wait staff and chef. Seafood risotto was well prepared and presented with scallops and trout. Steak tartare app was fantastic. 5 stars!
