I had a dining reservation at Twisted Laurel on Dec. 3. Upon arriving at the Twisted Laurel we were surprised and disappoint to find that the restaurant was closed.

New Bluegrass brunch menu recently added to this long-running local favorite. Brunch menus have become so passé at too many places. Twisted Laurel is throwing in some inventive twists while delivering on just solid breakfast standards.

Nicely located neat Pack Square in downtown Asheville. Limited venue, while the food was tastey the portions were on the small side and the meal was ala carte. The food was not quite up to temperature.

Great to see these folks back in business after Helene. The menu is a bit smaller than usual, but the food is really good and service is impeccable. Asheville is still under a "boil water" advisory so running a restaurant is a challenge but they are making it work. Parking is plentiful right across the street. Please support Asheville restaurants as they continue to recover.

Dinner with family; not a big entree menu but diverse. Quite a few Italian items. Fried pickle, pepper and bacon app was very good and shareable. I took the servers advice on the trout dish and wasn’t disappointed but a few pieces of asparagus with it would have been great. Refills came quick which I always appreciate.
