    The host, Tony, was friendly and accommodated us with a lovely booth table despite being early for our reservation. Our server, Jamie, was fantastic. Knowledgeable, attentive and humorous. The food, drinks and dessert were all on point. The interior design is beautiful & especially loved the light fixtures. This is a gem that focuses on locally sourced ingredients that anyone in Asheville or traveling through should not miss. Highly, highly recommend!

    Started out the night with a VERY nice welcome. The server arrived at our table with a smile and quickly took our drink order. When she came back with our drinks, she explained some of the options on the menu. She wasn’t rushing us she just wanted us to make a great choice. Because of her explanation, my wife and I ordered something different than our original selections. The food came out hot and tasty. The server and restaurant were very busy but we never felt rushed or the time wasn’t too long in between courses. PERFECT pace. PERFECT food! PERFECT service. Did I mention everything was PERFECT?

    As usual, nothing to critique. Food, service and decor all stellar. Pork belly appetizer is a must try. The crispy, sweet and smoky flavor with pecan garnish is a symphony of flavors that play in your mouth like a finely tuned orchestra. Logan was a standout server. Neva sold us on the vanilla cheesecake which was the most beautiful presentation I have ever seen for cheesecake. This 15 year establishment is a well oiled machine. Make Posana a priority for your next foodie experience.

    This was a girls weekend for us and we enjoyed the setting and location of District 42. We didn’t realize it was at a hotel and never once felt like we were in a hotel. Set in the middle of the city it was fun to have our first evening there!
