Had a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner today. Service was excellent, and the food was far better than expected. Just excellent. Everything was. Butternut Brie soup. Wonderful texture and flavor. The turkey was some of the best I’ve ever had. Fork-tender, flavorful. Cranberry compote was tart and amazing. Dressing, whipped potatoes and green beans were all delicious. The brown bread pudding was warm and had a well made crème anglaise. Had a nice, quiet meal after a cold, windy arrival. Brr!

This restaurant blew our expectations away. Menu choices are appropriately limited, and the food is exceptional. I mean....WOW level of exceptional. The service couldn't have been better. Very responsive and attentive. The restaurant is inside what was an old Biltmore Estate horse barn. Such a great experience. Honestly, the best restaurant we've been to in Asheville.
