My husband made an error on the bill and only tipped about 12% of the total, which worked out to about 15% of the food portion of the bill. Our bad; we usually do 20%. But for the first time ever in my experience, the restaurant CALLED US on the way home, demanding to know why we only tipped 12%! I was so jolted by this unfortunate ending to a nice night out that I knee-jerk apologized and told her to add more tip. Again, my bad: I should have either gone through the bill with her or just told them to stuff it. Granted, there was a minor calculation error, but restaurants know this happens, and you don't track down the diner and scold them. Left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended). Don't think we'll be back.

Big kudos to the two young ladies running the front of the house! The Barrelhouse has a decent menu with some bar food standards and some surprised. We ordered the fried deviled eggs (definitely recommend) and the cheddar and onion perogies (also recommend). The garlic parmesan wings were crispy and flavorful. The fries and sandwiches were ok. We would visit again to try more appetizers and because the staff is so great!

There is street parking nearby, and this place is always hopping. This place makes me think of a southerner's take on a French bakery. Absolutely gorgeous on the inside with decadent sweets to choose from, while also featuring classics like a Swiss roll or a cream puff. They also offer breakfast/brunch/lunch, as well as made to order cakes. (Their coconut cake is award-winning). We came in recently and got a BLT, chicken salad on croissant (with watermelon salad), quiche, cream puff, lemon Swiss roll, and lattes. The sandwiches were all delicious and this was my first time trying watermelon salad - fresh and perfect to accompany the sandwiches. Their quiches are large and filling - perfect on their own for breakfast. For lattes, we got a vanilla latte, and then their July 4th special, which had strawberry and white chocolate in it - the July 4th specialty latte was decadent - if you like sweet, you should give it a try. All in all, I think we paid $50ish for our meal. This spot is a must if you're in the area!

Highly recommend Stoney Knob Cafe if you're in the area!

We had a young lady named Abby and we were sitting in the room next to the fireplace, which gives you the ambience of a lodge, rustic natural environment, even though the window faced the parking lot, but that was fine.

Nothing to brag about. As a picky eater I would come back for a different burger. I had the original burger. Start basic and I won't be disappointed right? My fiancée got a bento box. He said that he wouldn't get it again because he only liked the slider and sushi. The service was ok. She did her job. Nothing special about her really. She did get us refills on our drinks after waiting for a few minutes for one. The part of the restaurant I saw was just a line of booths and a bar. The bar had 4 TVs above it. Didn't really have any type of ambience really. Just eat and go!

Plenty of sauces to try, ribs and brisket were well tender and juicy, no complaints and liked all the sides. All coming from someone who's never had southern bbq.

Do note thst there are several menus online so call for their most updated pricing. Highly recommended!

We stopped in early after a bike ride. There was plenty of parking out front, which we appreciated because finding parking at some other restaurants in Asheville proved to be a big challenging. We were dressed for biking, but the place was pretty casual. It was also an adorable restaurant. My husband went with the brisket platter and I (with the help of the helpful man behind the cashier) ordered the burnt ends brisket sandwich. I got a side of the deviled eggs, which looked really good too. The brisket had a little too much sauce for my liking, but i tried to rub some off and ate the brisket along with the 3 deviled eggs (as good as they looked). I also helped myself to some of my husbands sweet potato chips, which were also delicious. And he was very happy with the rest of his meal as well. It was a lovely night in Asheville so we enjoyed this on their patio, which we had all to ourselves. And while BBQ isn't usually my cuisine of choice have to admit that was pretty tasty and my BBQ loving husband was thrilled.

He was completely zoned out, on his phone. When you get to the bar he's rude, acts like getting you a lemon or salt on the rim is the hardest thing in the world. Tipped him 25 dollars total as I'm sure he splits with all the other amazing staff. But he, doesn't deserve a position at this bad ass establishment IMO (I'm speaking about the bartender in the movie theater section on Sunday Sep. 13th!)

Labor Day weekend stay…read more Pulling up it looked like a busy, touristy, historical, and grand estate rested atop, basked in the fresh mountain air, with a gorgeous view of the golf course and the blue ridge mountains. Pretty dog friendly, although mine is a service animal. Staff were all friendly with a warm southern welcome. Our room on the club level had access to their snacks and breakfast with drink options. The room itself came with a hugeee tub that I took advantage. However the room itself was a bit dated, and the sheets were horrible. Would stay again and try more of their amenity and the activities offered.

I want to start by clarifying that I have not personally stayed at the Omni Grove Park Inn, but I…read morerecently sent a gift to a loved one who was staying there and was very disappointed with how the hotel handled it. She was celebrating her birthday with friends, and since I couldn't join the trip, I arranged to have a gift basket from a local company waiting in her room as a special surprise when she arrived. About 10 days before her stay, I spoke with Guest Services by phone and followed up via email, providing the guest's information, expected delivery date, and all other pertinent details. I was told a note had been placed on the reservation specifically requesting that the basket be delivered to her room for her arrival. Unfortunately, that never happened. After she had been there for a few days without mentioning the gift, I became concerned and called the hotel. They discovered that the basket was still sitting in the shipping department. It was eventually delivered to her room on the second-to-last day of her trip, but by then the entire point of having it there as a special birthday welcome had been lost. The young man who helped me track it down was pleasant and apologetic, which I appreciated. Still, this was frustrating and disappointing. Sending gifts and packages to hotel guests is hardly unusual, and I had gone out of my way well in advance to make sure the hotel had everything needed to handle it correctly. I expected better attention to detail from a four-star hotel. While I can't speak to the experience of actually staying here, this experience would absolutely factor into whether I chose to stay at the Grove Park Inn myself in the future.

I've attended 4 events at this space and each one were great experiences. The first was our friends wedding and opening weekend for the venue. The food was top notch, cocktails and bar service rocked! Second was a Chamber of Commerce meet & greet event! Food and drinks were both notch and the zen garden setting made for an impeccable time getting connected with other local businesses. Third was a special brunch event that the staff throw a few times each season to get locals into the space to enjoy. They had a jazz band and Chef Ward puts out beautiful and tasty brunch fare! We reserved a table for 20 as it was our close friends birthday celebration and everyone raved about the experience! Forth was another wedding with the same outstanding hospitality and genuine staff we met on our previous visits. We only knew a handful of others attending but the space made for an excellent backdrop to make new friends and dance the night away!!! If you are looking for an awesome space to host your next event give this folks a shot to impress you just as they have my wife and I on all four separate occasions!

We hosted our client Christmas event at Weaver House this week, and I seriously cannot say enough…read moregood about this place. It is a beautiful event space, both inside and out. It was a very chilly night so we didn't utilize the outside space, but having seen it in daylight previously, I can say that the gardens are beautiful and picturesque. The inside is warm and inviting and has beautiful use of wood in the structure. The sound system is amazing for background music. The high-top and 8' tables and chairs were nice looking and in great shape, which is very important. The bar area is beautiful and was thoughtfully accented with holiday decorations. First, I would like to say what an amazing, accommodating staff!! Alexandra, the wedding and events director, was so helpful, pleasant, kind, efficient and responsive. She is totally amazing. She was on-site, helping clear dishes and making sure everything went smoothly throughout the entire evening. We typically serve "heavy hor d'oeuvres" in a buffet style, which is what we did for this event. Chef Joey was so easy to work with in setting the menu and was open to suggestions. He and his staff did a phenomenal job on everything from the amazing food to making sure the buffet was nicely arranged and full of food at all times. Let me say again, the food was amazing! The bartender was pleasant, efficient and very nice. The drinks she made were great and my husband said she treated him like a king. We had such great response and reviews from our clients, many who have attended our Christmas events for many years. Those who commented only had nice, complementary things to say about their experience at Weaver House. Highly recommend!!
