A pastry filled with wild mushrooms and goat cheese...to die for
Patricia H.

Honestly, the BEST restaurant in Banner Elk. Don't be fooled by the word "tapas". These are NOT skimpy portions. I am so full when I leave. Everything is divine. The duck is amaaaaaaaazing. Service is awesome. Everything is awesome!

This is a top tier first date place. It is very nice inside and have a great wine selection. Lots of finger food that all tasted great. I would not recommend it for a full sit down dinner because they are not really full meal plates. However the charcuterie board was really good and had a great variety. The only thing was the empanadas tasted good but were much smaller than we thought it would be. I will have to say they had the best staff. She came over and asked us if we needed anything a lot of times which I love because she was going above and beyond. This is definitely the place where Sunday afternoon you want a glass of wine come here.

WOW! What an incredible place our party of 11 stumbled upon! The service was fantastic, we were waited on by one waitress who was attentive and just SO good at what she does! Since we were a party of 11 we completely understood that our food may naturally take more time to come out. After ordering our waitress (& what I am guessing is the manager or owner) came out with complimentary soups for us all because the food would be a little bit of a wait. The timing of the kitchen was impeccable!! For the amount of food we ordered and the amount of people the food preparation was FAST! Everything was delicious & all of us left extremely happy and impressed! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!!

Had a great time grabbing a few drinks after dinner in town. Upscale ambiance but not stuffy. Solid local beers on tap.

Although we only popped in for a drink, the decor is amazing, and the owner, Marcus, and the bartender and Chef Ramsey were really fun to talk with.

My view of this place is more of a 3 and 1/2 star review. I haven't been to a speakeasy in a while…read moreand I've never been to one with my wife. This place was close to where we were having dinner at so we walked over to the place. Just walk in to the building and someone will greet you and they'll take you behind the bookshelf where you can't seat yourself. We took some of the low seats. Nothing wrong with that we were greeted with water so we had to decide what we wanted to drink. Highly recommend that you use your phone since the menus are QR code. Prices were pretty fair for the speakeasy. Restrooms were absolutely clean. A few things I noticed that kind of dropped a few Stars was that the Speakeasy was absolutely cold!It had to be about 60° inside. It took a long time for us to be served. Lastly, I noticed some of the staff drinking behind the bar. People here are absolutely friendly , you got all walks of life here and everyone here is having a great time. The staff are dressed for the occasion and it does feel intimate being inside this speakeasy. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here again. After leaving, you leave through the back door. I do believe that the prices were a bit High compared to other visits of speakeasies I've been to but that's more so on Tennessee's part for the way they Factor checks.

Walking into The Crow & Quill feels like stepping into a moody, time-warped speakeasy -- antiques,…read moredark corners, and soft lighting all set a tone that's equal parts gothic and cozy. Inside, the bar's massive spirits collection (over 1,000 bottles, including some rare whiskies) backs up its reputation for top-tier, creative cocktails. Drinks like my favorite " Jack Treehorn" come highly recommended, and the bartenders seem to know their craft -- delivering drinks that are balanced, thoughtfully made, and sometimes theatrical. If you're in Asheville and in the mood for something atmospheric, unique, and whiskey-forward -- somewhere to soak in character and good drinks rather than sleek modern bar polish -- Crow & Quill is absolutely worth checking out.

The bar is known for its craft cocktails, creative cocktails that are often praised for their balance and craftsmanship. Drinks like their smoked mezcal cocktails or old fashioneds tend to stand out, and live music on select nights adds to the intimate, atmospheric charm. It's a cozy, often crowded space, so seating can be limited and service may feel slower on busy nights. T If you enjoy rich cocktails, rare spirits, and a one-of-a-kind vibe, Crow & Quill is absolutely worth the stop.

I didn't get to check it out, but there's also a downstairs lounge with a full liquor bar where you can also view the show. I appreciate the security when you walk in, metal detectors and staff members who very politely made sure everyone was safe. Scanning our tickets and entering was a breeze. Bartenders were very friendly and welcoming! We were standing at the barricade, so we chatted with the security guards and they were some of the nicest workers I've met at a show! They had lots of water bottles on hand to pass out to anyone who needed it, which is always great to see. The bands sounded great and we had an awesome time. We're already looking forward to the next show we can catch here!

There's a garage next door to the hotel though if you need close parking. Before the show we attended a bourbon/whiskey tasting in the speak easy below the main floor. Super cool experience. Got to watch the sound check for the opening band on a tv screen while in the speak easy. Also we met Arson, the guitarist, who joined us to talk about the booze. When it was over we were able to go to the main floor before anyone else was let into the venue. We got right on the rail! Worth every penny! Sound quality was fantastic and clear. They have massive fans blowing air and this is possibly the only concert I've attended where I was cold and not sweating in the pit. Nice touch Orange Peel. I would come back to this venue in a heartbeat. Long live The Hives!

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.
