    Tea
    John B.

    I didn't expect this location to be as charming as the one in Black Mountain, but surprisingly it was quite atmospheric, conveying a sense of an old workshop transitioned into a cafe. The servers conveyed a sense of experience. The menu offers intriguing choices with French crepes based on buckwheat or tamales and empanadas. They offer enough options to satisfy most diets. I was presented a set of tea options which were generic, but I still appreciated being able to drink a Trader Joe's mint tea with my tamales. These come beautifully prepared, though the salad greens on the side weren't at peak freshness. Still it's a place where I ponder what else I could have ordered.

    I had a beef and a chicken empanada with rice and beans. Everything was very good. The staff was friendly and efficient. The building does not look like much from the outside. Their sign in front is rather small.

    I was looking for a quick lunch stop, and Cecilia's Kitchen (Food From the Heart) was a perfect spot! There were a few quaint outdoor tables & I grabbed the last one in the shade. They have a variety of empanadas and tamales, two for $12. The server said I could have one of each, so I got the yummy Chicken Enchilada, and Tomate Empanada. Really great! I will be back...

    Great first experience at Cecilia's Kitchen. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was very fresh and delicious. We recommend to try the fresh cilantro salsa with any savory items. The interior was clean and well decorated. The prices are quite reasonable for such a fresh and tasty dinner. We have already picked out what to try next time.

    Excellent food and service. Taylor was friendly, funny, and welcoming. Great ambiance. Empanadas and rice and peas were excellent.

    We went to this other French-American restaurant (Isa's Bistro), and they didn't have Creme…read moreBrulee...so, we ended up here afterward to order JUST the Creme Brulee. First of all, the place was very small, with this caved-in feel...a very grungy, dive-like ambiance. I felt quite claustrophic. Also, they didn't have the A/C on, so it was quite humid in there. Sadly, things didn't get any better. One of the best thing about the brulee is the glazed crust...and well, their version was just slack, in that only about a third of the top was glazed! HUH?!? Plus, they used this thin slab of Orange instead of the usual Blueberries or Strawberries...making the dessert have this Yellow on Yellow type presentation. Not appealing at all...at least to me. Initially, I thought we'd wait...and get our waitress-bartender to send it back to the kitchen to get it glazed fully. However, we just couldn't get her attention...so we just ended up eating it. I did, however, decide to bring up this issue...after getting the hostess to literally grab our server! I just felt that something this slack should be pointed out. Since we did eat some of it, I didn't ask for a redo or anything like that...but simply telling her that I wanted my feedback to go to the kitchen and the manager. In any case, she didn't bill us for the dessert. I thought that was the right call. From the grungy ambiance (with no A/C), to their botched dessert, I just can't say this was a worthy experience in the least. I totally regretted not going to Crave dessert bar instead. Lesson learned!

    Bouchon French Bistro is a solid spot for French food in the Asheville area. If you're looking for…read moresome classic, French bistro fare then Bouchon likely has it. I've never had a bad meal here. In my most recent visit to Bouchon, we had a reservation for the three of us on a Sunday evening for dinner. In fact, I recommend making a reservation if you're planning to dine here as Bouchon gets busy. Even for a Sunday, nearly every table was taken. The place is dark and romantic, but bustling and lively. As mentioned previously, Bouchon has classic, French plates that are timeless. From French onion soup to start with, to steak frites for your main, and profiteroles for dessert, there's something you're likely familiar with if you've had French food before. Plus, the large wine menu, including Bordeaux style reds are something to rave about. I ordered the Canard a L'Orange Chocolate for my entrée and we wanted to start with the escargots, but it never came. We had to remind our server that we ordered escargots, which we later received and was taken off the bill. That was nice. I did enjoy my canard/duck entrée, which was prepared with a rub from cocoa nibs and an orange glaze with broccolini and potato au gratin on the side. The duck was also a good portion, as it was half the size and cooked perfectly. Overall, if you like French food then Bouchon has some traditional dishes that you'll enjoy. Service was a little spotty, but not terrible. It's not my first choice for dining out in Asheville where the competition is fierce, but if I'm visiting on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, then you best believe I'm down for the AYCE moules frites, which yes, I've totally done and definitely got my money's worth.

We enjoyed half a classic crêpe, a lemon fruit pastry, a scoop of cotton candy ice cream, and a chocolate chicken drumstick. All items received a thumbs up. Service was friendly. I do have some constructive criticism though, while I understand that some items like the fruit pastries obviously taste the part, there are other items with no description as to what they contain. I understand that your staff is supposed to answer questions, but I could tell that after a whole day of explaining what's inside what, it can become tiring. Some labels of description would go a long way and give staff more time to focus on getting ordered items ready for customers. We came during a time when it wasn't busy at all, but I can't imagine what it would be like if there's a line out the door and every single customer may ask staff the same questions. Anyway, wonderful treats and would return! Thank you for being part of our community and looking forward to your second location opening. Happy yelping!

Every time the server came by, it was so quick I didn't get to ask. I don't like that the silverware is just sitting out either, not very sanitary. I got a small pastry that was also forgotten about until the server was reminded. There was also someone that was going around to tables to check in...it felt like we were left out. I'd like to give this place another chance, but it wasn't a great first impression.

We found a table inside before it got too busy. It was a great place to sit a catch up with friends and enjoy some delicious food and coffee! I ordered the Greek omelet which came with toast (which I didn't get since I'm GF) and either a side of fruit or hash browns (I went with the fruit) and a sugar free hazelnut latte with almond milk. I had a difficult time deciding what to order because so many things on their menu looked amazing! Two of my other friends also got omelet's while one got the Nutella GF crepe. We all enjoyed our food and drinks thoroughly! I was also looking around at other tables to see what other people ordered and was oogling over what I saw. I don't think there's a bad choice on the menu here! The staff were all polite and kind. They kept up with the busy-ness (the line got pretty long around 10:30-11) where tables were cleaned off, dishes were taken away and we didn't have to wait long for our food or drinks. The cafe has a stylish inside with modern decor and some outdoor seating options for warmer weather. Inside, they also have a station where you put your garbage and dirty plates. At this station, you'll also find complimentary water with cups, extras for your coffee/tea and on the second shelf, there are condiments such as ketchup, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, etc. After this visit, my friends and I are 100% going to come back again for a girl's brunch!
