We were looking forward to our meals as we enjoyed it so much last time. However, we waited over an hour for our food and when it was finally placed in front of us wewere disappointed. For the price($9-$12 $7 extra for chicken), the salads were very small and had maybe 5 nuggets of chicken onthem. Overall, when you are looking forward to a meal, pay a lot for it, and wait over an hour you expect to be satisfied withwhat is placed in front of you. All of us were finished eating in under 10 minutes. Everything together made for a badexperience.

The dressing and marinated black raspberries with goat cheese were perfectly dressed and totally yummy. I also ordered a peach cheesecake to go. The cheesecakewas delicious with no bleeding of the peaches to ruin the texture. I was also impressed that whoever put the cheesecake in thetogo box did so perfectly..the nicely piped whipped cream wasn't even smudged. A sign that someone cared unreasonably which isthe benchmark of a good restaurant. As good as the food was, the service was even better. My server had a number of tables andshe made everyone feel like the only ones in the restaurant. When I ordered the cheesecake to go she suggested that I get a cupof coffee as well. Perfect suggestion since I was driving and she made fresh coffee for me. Best service I have had for quite awhile.

The pork shoulder is so moist yet has a beautiful smokey char to it (it's incredible). Get the peach cheesecake if theyhave it on the menu The staff was so incredibly friendly and was able to accommodate a large group for us (8 people) with ease!

I?ll probably stick to delivery since I had such an awkward pickup when I got my food this evening. I got the impression they probably weren?t used to having black patrons, lol.Yeah, it was super awkward walking into that. The atmosphere wasn?t bad, neither inviting nor hostile, just meh. Having workedin the restaurant industry I understand the staff were probably just ready to wrap up. However, we are all human beings andthere is always room for improvement. I mean let?s all treat each other with respect and kindness. :

I have never been more glad that we missed a reservation. The food was impeccable and the service was wonderful. Even before the appetizer was over I was ready to leave a five star review. I would definitely eat here again when in the Asheville area and this place deserves to have fully booked reservations.
