    Service was fine, food was overdone and everything was very, very salty. Did not acknowledge the special occasion.

    We visited Asheville to support them after devastation that was Helene. Food and service were 5 stars. Given what they had been though, witnessing their resilience first hand gave us hope that they would come back even stronger...you can count on our support, always ~ Thank you

    It was surprising quiet at the restaurant. I chalk it up to the terrible weather. Our server was excellent. He never gave his name. I appreciate that he guided us through the menu with his faves. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I recommend the Autumn Grain Bowl.

    The food was just OK. The selection is limited. I'm not a big fan of the drop biscuits. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good enough that I'd go back, either.

    This is one of the few restaurants downtown that opened early after the Helene and is invested in our community. They currently have a limited menu while waiting for clean running water to return to our city (hopefully tomorrow). Still, everything I tried on it the last three times I visited was terrific. I especially like chicken and waffles and meatloaf.
