As locals, we like Rendezvous because of the easy parking, compared to downtown. But I understand the menus are the same at both locations, and certainly the food quality at Rendezvous is every bit as good as the flagship location. My own go to dishes are steak au poivre (nicely peppery and creamy, medium rare is guaranteed to be quite pink, plus a generous serving , the chicken cordon bleu, and the escargot. The escargot what little treats, with the pastry on top and the hot garlic butter dipping juice surrounding the snail be sure to order a side of the sourdough bread if you go for the escargot. My spouse 's usual orders are the steak tartare (on Thursday and the mussels. Frites are wonderful, and come with a nice remoulade if you want to dip them. We rarely have room for dessert, which is unfortunate, because their crepes and profiteroles are really good. We are lucky to have not one but two French Bistros in Asheville, both operated by Michel and his staff. No establishment is ever 100% day in and day out, but Michel 's restaurants come close. Our long term patronage says something!

The salad was carelessly chopped and lacked any noticeable dressing. I ordered a medium steak, but it came out undercooked. Although the restaurant is conveniently located nearby, I wouldn't consider returning. I was very disappointed with my experience.
