- DDANIELVIPAsheville / Western North Carolina •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe love this restaurant. We come here every time we are in Asheville. That is 6 to 8 times a year. The foot is fabulous and the staff are exceptional. We have never had a bad experience at this restaurant. We are also very fond of their wine list. Some very nice European wines. Of course the wood burning stove is amazing. There is nothing not to like about this restaurant.More infoAsheville ProperPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Asheville•4.7

- SStaceyColumbus •9 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoA very cute place with super service. We sat at the bar (requested) and ordered traditional southern fare - fried green tomatoes over grits (excellent), hot pimento cheese dip (very good - hubby likes it better than i did, but I’m used to it cold on a sandwich). For dinner we had the fried chicken (dark meat) and collards - both excellent, though next time I’ll request to leave off the honey dust, I would have preferred it without the hint of sweetness. Hubby ordered the pulled pork in confit - excellent on all fronts but be ready as it’s not “rich” but it’s a lot! And I had to try the biscuits with butter and blueberry j as a dessert (it’s a starter). The biscuits were as good as my momma makes and the butter was nice and whipped. Next time I’ll just order the biscuits with butter and honey - not that the blueberry was anything but lovely - just that’s they way I grew up ;) All in all - if you’ve got southern roots or want authentic southern cookin’ this will remind you of home!More infoTupelo Honey - Downtown AshevillePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Southern• Asheville•4.6
- JJillianAsheville / Western North Carolina •6 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 26, 2024Five of us celebrated Boxing Day at Posana and had a wonderful meal. Two members of our group are gluten intolerant and Posana provides a safe environment for them to eat without having to review every ingredient. It is also exemplary to have every option available to them without having to take a salad or the only protein based option. Kudos to the team for making us feel so welcome and a special thankyou to Teline (spelling?) for tolerating our English traditions.More infoPosanaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Asheville•4.7
