    The French onion soup was absolutely incredible. I have been searching for a good French onion soup to rival that of a restaurant near my college campus in Philadelphia for over 30 years and finally found it. The fried chicken was amazing. It was actually better than fried chicken I’ve had in Asheville from a place that specializes in good fried chicken. The care and attention they give to preparing the food as rival only by the care and attention they give to guests. The staff, which is friendly knowledgeable and accommodating, is a big asset. The owner also cares greatly about his guests’ experiences. I will go back soon to try some of their other dishes.

    We gathered for a fabulous girls' night to celebrate our birthdays, and Fiona and the management team went above and beyond to make it special! From a crisp, vibrant orange wine straight from Greece to a perfectly prepared gluten free/dairy free steak and frites, every detail was delightful. Their complimentary strawberry sorbet was the “cherry on top”—an indulgent and thoughtful touch. With a peaceful ambiance and an easily accessible location, the entire experience was a perfect 10/10!
