Great food. Better than any seafood buffet at the beach. Impeccable service. To top off a great meal a dessert bar to die for!

We 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.

Five 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.

We enjoyed the igloo but it happened to be a warmer day and it would have been nicer if it was chilly out. Food and service were ok. Drinks were great. We did have the chef come talk to us and bring us a special entree which was not expected and so nice.
