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.

    Unfortunately, the service was nonexistent. One of our meals came raw. Lots of potential great location.

    First time at this restaurant and had read the wonderful reviews. Food and service live up to the hype and the ambience is somewhere between "cool" vibes and candlelit relaxation. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful and she did not rush us when we asked for a few extra minutes to make our decisions. The cocktail menu is overwhelming with it's great choices. Our appetizers, which included deviled eggs and pork belly, were superb. I normally don't care for gnocchi, but ordered it because of the fresh asparagus, peas and leeks. The gnocchi were little pillows of lightness and the lemon cream sauce was subtle and delicious! All in all, I will definitely go back to try more of their heavenly food! I know, I am gushing, but it's hard to find a restaurant in this area with food that sophisticated.

    Thank you so much for the beautiful review—we’re truly honored by your kind words! It’s wonderful to hear that the food, service, and atmosphere all lived up to your expectations. We’re especially thrilled that the gnocchi won you over—it’s one of our favorite spring dishes. Your appreciation for the details means a lot to our entire team, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable experience soon!

    Food and experience were great. We were seated in the back of the restaurant which is great for large parties & if you wanted a quieter setting. Having been there a few times ourselves, we prefer the front of the restaurant which is livelier.
    ClaywoodResponded today
    Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the food and overall experience. Our back dining room does offer a more intimate setting, especially for larger groups, but we completely understand the draw of the livelier energy up front. We're happy to accommodate seating preferences whenever possible—just let us know next time, and we’ll do our best to place you right where you feel most at home. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

    We visited this restaurant for the first time and our jaws dropped when we saw the decor, the comfort and the all-around ambience, including the welcoming provided by the staff. The food was unusual and superb. The server took plenty of time to explain each dish that we questioned. We sat on a very lovely comfortable sofa with a well fitting table. We had planned to sit outside with our puppy, but it was raining so we left her home. Try it you’ll like it.

    Thank you so much for this thoughtful and generous review! We're thrilled that the space, service, and menu all made such a strong first impression. It’s wonderful to hear you felt welcomed and well cared for—and we’re glad you enjoyed that cozy corner inside, even if the rain changed your original plans. We look forward to welcoming you (and your pup!) back soon. Your kind words mean the world to us!
