Restaurants near Montreat Conference Center

Excellent first experience at Luminosa. David was attentive and knew the menu inside and out. Only hiccup--and we didn't really care that much--was that the first course came out well before our first round of drinks arrived. But those bone marrow tots were piping hot and delicious, and we'd rather have tots hot and ready than lingering on the line... Lemon pizza second course was quite good--plenty for 4 to share. Entrees were really well prepared: the half chicken was as good as advertised by David, the coppa steaks were **outstanding**, and the skirt was perfectly cooked. We also had gnocchi, fusilli, polenta, kohlrabi and spinach--all plentiful to share and well executed. Everything was hot when it hit the table, which is vital for a great meal. The staff was on point, and there was good support on service. Desserts have to be next level to really stand out during a great meal, but the honeycomb concoction with the semi-freddo was inventive and delicious. This particular meal was one of just a handful I can recall here in Asheville where the $130/person/all-in was *really* worth it. But it was, and we'll be back.

Wonderful selection of salads, entrees and desserts. The salad selection was outstanding, very fresh and varied. Nice selection of fish and meats. The red snapper was a little dry. Our waiter Jose was attentive with excellent timing and a sense of humor. Will definitely be returning. Our only complaint was the $30 fee for self parking.

It had been a long time since we’d been able to dine at BB but realized how much we missed it. Cocktails were perfect. Everyone’s meal in the group of 4 enjoyed their meal and we all had coconut cake. We will be back.

The ambience was so much fun, especially sitting in one of the booths that are like a stable. The staff was very helpful and attentive, and the food was delicious. 

Had a fabulous visit to Omni Grove Park Inn where Christmas spirit was evident in spite of the devastation following Hurricane Helene. Beautiful evening on the back terrace with views of the mountains, fabulous dinner at Edison ! Support your local businesses ! They’re happy to have you back !
