    We loved this farm to table concept with all wonderfully sourced local ingredients. We had an exceptional meal and the vegetarian Wellington, scallops and coconut cake blew our mind. Also, start with the bread 🩷🩷

    The Catch of the day, corn-goat-cheese-pie and mushroom risotto were our entrees: each was a delicious, generous, beautifully plated portion. Staff kindly accommodated a request to change our seating arrangement and our server, Arianna, was attentive without hovering and a truly pleasant addition to our Blackbird dining experience. We’ll be back.

    The blackbird was great! Food was good, the steak and the scallop and fish risotto are great choices. The Asheville sour was our favorite drink. Jordan, our bartender, was lovely! Would definitely recommend!

    That was hands down one of the best entrees I have ever had! I ordered the pork chop and will be dreaming of it until I return! Excellent staff, meal, and experience — highly recommend!

    I was visiting Asheville and it was my first time at Blackbird. The risotto I had was delicious, the server was attentive but not at all intrusive and it was delightful overall.

    Great lunch at Blackbird. Jacob was excellent. Great recommendations for food and drinks. Attentive and responsive without hovering. Loved the Braised Beef Sandwich and the Soave Pieropan wine. Very good value. A little noisy but it was the lunch rush hour so nothing unexpected. We will definitely return.
