    My daughter and I come to Asheville a couple of times each year. Each time we try a different restaurant. The Marketplace is absolutely TOPS!!! Everyone there is warm and welcoming. The service staff (Dakota) is engaging and knowledgeable. The food, obviously the most important, is DELICIOUS!!! Next trip to Asheville just might be a deviation from choosing a different restaurant...it was seriously that good! Thanks to everyone there for a wonderful dining experience!

    The veggie sandwich was phenomenal!! The sourdough was very good and crisp. I will order this again! It was that good!! My hub got the haddock and said it was wonderful. Very white and flaky with a light batter that didn’t dominate the fish. The waiter said it was their best seller. The staff were very polite and attentive. We really enjoy eating lunch at Cedrick’s because of the quality of food. The executive chef has created an amazing menu.
