    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.

    We had a number of appetizers and made it a grazing meal. Everything we had was outstanding. We shared the soup of the day which was a curried coconut and chickpea soup, delicious. We also had brussel sprouts which my husband won't usually eat but actually enjoyed them. We had mushrooms, pork belly and gnocchi too. There was nothing we had that made us regret our choices. I just ate too much because it was so good. The wine choices by the glad are really good too. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. We'll go back for sure

    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!
