Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Piedmont

The hostess/host of the restaurant were completely overwhelmed. The line to check in for reservations was long and it was unclear if guests should go to front of line to let the restaurant know the party was there for their reservation, as the time for the allotted reservation was past due to the long wait. we were sat for dinner 30 min late which created a problem to make our biltmore house tour . We had made adequate time between dinner and tour time, (90 minutes) but the late seating made dinner a rush instead of a pleasure. The host looked anxious and did not greet us or take the initiative to explain everyone was being seated late and they were running behind. Instead he avoided eye contact and customers were left standing in line worrying their reservation was not being honored or unsure if they should go to the front of the line try to check in to let them know their party was there. Bad first impression. Despite that .. our server, Carmen , was calm, relaxed and very pleasant. She was efficient, yet friendly and our food came out quickly and was delicious. She saved the day .

Select is a beautiful restaurant. Service was quick and attentive. Food was delicious and you could choose from brunch, lunch or dinner.

The bar tender Nico began our amazing evening with his cocktail magic. The Jewels was knowledgeable and super friendly. Her service was perfect. We kept ordering awaesome dishes just to be able to stay longer. Lovely evening. We were so caught up in the ambiance we forgot to get our picture made in front of the Xmas tree. We’ll be back for certain.

Our server, Benjamin, did a fantastic job welcoming us and highlighting the menu. It was pretty busy and yet our food came quickly and was paced well. Appreciated the mock tail menu and loved the comfort style southern food. Was absolutely worth the drive from Asheville before a show at the Flat Rock Playhouse.

We ordered appetizers Jalapeno Poppers and Whipped Goat with honey drizzle, almonds and cranberries with Pita slices, both were excellent!! The main course was individual pizzas Chicken Bacon Ranch, Buffalo Chicken and The Works, and a Large Greek Salad with grilled chicken. All were super delicious. Only negative was the chicken on the Greek Salad was dry and a little over cooked. Our waitress Jeanine was outstanding she served us with a smile and great efficient service! Ask for her when you can!!
