About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
Claywood is a vibrant, locally-focused restaurant that celebrates the farm-to-table philosophy in every aspect of its culinary and cocktail creations. Nestled in the heart of Hendersonville, Claywood is driven by a commitment to fresh, quality ingredients sourced from local farmers and purveyors. Our menu is a dynamic blend of traditional and modern cooking styles, enriched by cultural influences from around the world, and always inspired by the changing seasons.

At Claywood, we are rooted in a philosophy that celebrates ingredient integrity, regional traditions, and experiential dining. Chef Tory leads our team with a focus on whole animal butchery, sustainable partnerships with local farms and foragers, and menus that shift with the mountain seasons—highlighting ramps, mushrooms, heirloom grains, and native herbs. Our goal is not just to serve food, but to tell a story with every dish. One that reflects our place, our people, and our purpose.

    We truly enjoyed our Easter brunch today. I had the salmon entree and my husband had the waffle; we shared the deviled eggs. This restaurant is one of our top 3 places to dine in the Hendersonville area. The food is consistently delicious, their cocktail and wine selection is very good and they have a nice selection of non-alcoholic beverages as well. We love that their seasonal menu is always fresh and changing.

    Outstanding service and food accompanied by a warm ambiance. The staff are exceptional; friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Carly greeted us with a warm welcoming smile as if we had been friends for years. Authentic and creative menu options for a truly experiential dining experience. The potato-wild mushroom-crispy prosciutto is the best you'll ever have. The arancini is exceptional. Zach and Kelsie have curated some fantastic original cocktails, be sure to try some. If you don't try this place, you're missing out one one of the best restaurants you'll find anywhere.

    Excellent food and atmosphere Noise level too high in front tables
    ClaywoodResponded on 12 April 2025
    Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We also appreciate your note about the noise level—our front tables can occasionally carry a bit more sound during peak hours, and we’re exploring ways to soften that experience while maintaining the energy our guests enjoy. We hope to welcome you back soon, perhaps at one of our more intimate tables if you'd prefer a quieter setting.
