I made a table booking for me and my mother for a happy-hour meal after arriving in Brevard. We elected to have their early-bird set meal that includes a salad, a pizza to share, and a dessert. I'm a fan of their French pots de creme dessert. We're staying at the historic Pisgah Inn, so we have another drive ahead of us.

val. girl. was the food cost on a single pizza really worth embarrassing yourself and your…read moreemployees on your patio on a busy saturday night? let me set the scene... my friends joined my son and i last minute in brevard to attend the bela fleck concert last night. we met up at wood & vine, as it is a pretty easy meetup spot with a diverse menu. my friends were immediately appalled by the prices, but they were good sports, especially since she was in the mood for vegan cheese pizza. so here's our order. for me? wings and wedge- $32. classic order, no complaints. for him? picante pizza- $27. he wasn't thrilled about the flat-bread-size of the pizza at that price, but i assured him he could have some of my wings. for her? the margarita pizza with vegan cheese- $24 and not sure if there was an up charge for the vegan cheese. my son absolutely loves this friend and was dead set on sharing a pizza with her. we told our waitress they would share the pie, but asked if we could get a side of pepperonis for him. she obliged, and i will say that this is where the trouble began. i'll totally blame my boy- he was bouncing around saying "half cheese! half pepperoni!" over and over again. did my son confuse the waitress? most definitely. but i didn't realize it until right before our food came out. "i'm so sorry. they already put the pepperoni on half of the pizza, is that going to be okay?" of course! my friend is vegetarian and dairy-free she wasn't going to throw a fit. we assure her that's fine and she goes back inside to confirm. at this point, the patio has completely filled up with tables. my son is bouncing around demanding his pizza quite loudly, which is not polite or allowed while we are dining out. since there was so much going on, he was having a hard time using his listening ears, so i took him out front to explain to him- once again- that we do not berate or make demands of waitstaff. once he's calmed down, we return to find our friends looking quite puzzled by the three pizzas now on our table instead of the two we ordered. i ask "what's this?" they shake their heads and say they don't know what happened. now since i was not at the table at the time, i am not at liberty to say what happened during this interaction. i'm sure they protested that there was one pizza too many. i feel like the waitress probably apologized and offered to take a pizza off the table. my friends most likely were thinking it would go to waste (they hate food waste they are sustainable farmers) and said something along the lines of, "no! it's fine don't worry we'll eat it." again, i am paraphrasing since i was not present for this interaction. anyways, when our waitress gives my friend the check at the end of our meal, he immediately sees that there are three pizzas on the check and kindly reminds her we only ordered two. this is where things start to take a turn for the worse... cause she's gone a long time and when she returns, she does not look happy about the interaction she is about to have. she sighs and says "chef said since you accepted the pizza you need to pay for it." i interject- "absolutely not. i wasn't even here when the food was dropped. we are not paying another $30 for a pizza we didn't order." what happened next i can only describe as absolutely insane. after a long while, our waitress comes back looking absolutely defeated. "well, they made me say it was my fault, but she took it off your check." and hands my friend the updated bill. "thank you," i reply, "but is absolutely not your fault." enter val gerdes. chef and owner of wood & vine. she has left her station on the line at 7pm on a saturday night to come and confront us herself. "it absolutely isn't her fault," val agrees with me, "so tell me why you would accept a third pizza and eat said pizza and then not expect to pay for it." girl. are your margins that narrow? you can't cover the food cost of a half cheese half pepperoni pizza mistake that YOU made? how much loss is that? maybe $7? i went blind with rage at this point. i have worked with many chefs far more pretentious than you with ACTUAL credentials to back it up and never in their lives would they embarrass/debase themselves the way you did on your patio last night. did it feel good? did you feel powerful? did you go back to the line and gloat? what's it like to feel so insecure? how does it feel to know that your waitstaff hate you because you don't have their backs? yeah. maybe our waitress did mess up with our order. but you girl, you messed up with your life choices. i said i wouldn't be back. val, you said that would be great. i'm glad we agree. so now im going to make it my mission to let everyone know what a silly little loser you are by recommending MUCH better places to eat in the brevard area. all in all- i would recommend avoiding val gerdes and her restaurant at all costs. val- grow up. and have a great day 0/5 stars

Our waitress was friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely pleasant throughout the evening. We took advantage of the corkage option and brought along our own bottle of wine. We even offered her a taste, which she enjoyed, and that little interaction added a nice personal touch to the evening. I started with the wedge salad, which was excellent, and the bleu cheese dressing was absolutely superb. My wife had the Greek salad, and it was equally delicious. For our entrées, I had the steak and my wife chose the shrimp and grits. Both were outstanding--perfectly prepared, flavorful, and honestly over-the-top good. My only disappointment was discovering that the Shrimp Scampi has been removed from the menu. It was always one of my favorite dishes, and I certainly hope they consider bringing it back! Overall, it was exactly the kind of dinner we were hoping for to celebrate my wife's birthday. Great food, excellent service, and a very enjoyable evening. We'll definitely be back.

The food at Postero has always been good, but unfortunately the service can be very hit or miss…read more On our most recent visit, we arrived early for our reservation because we were hoping to grab a drink at the bar beforehand. We completely understood that we were early and would have been more than happy to wait for a seat to open up. Instead, the receptionist seemed visibly annoyed that we had arrived when we did and spoke to us rather dismissively, suggesting that we go to a bar down the street instead. We ultimately took that suggestion and went elsewhere. We ended up having such a pleasant experience at another restaurant that we decided to stay there for dinner and did not return for our reservation. It was disappointing, especially because we've enjoyed the food at Postero in the past. We weren't expecting to be seated early or accommodated immediately, just a welcoming interaction while we waited. Unfortunately, the way we were treated made us feel as though our business wasn't particularly wanted, so we chose to spend our evening somewhere that made us feel more welcome.

A lot of cafes in and around the greater Asheville area have a similar vibe. Small, hip, no frills, friendly and welcoming. You'll notice all the framed rave reviews on the wall inside and the website boasts its 16 year reign as #1 restaurant in Brevard, and the menu definitely lives up. We started with the Bavarian Pretzel (which was actually recommended to us by the server at the chocolate shop across the alleyway.) It was very much the right way to go. The pretzel is adorned with several meats, slices of cheese, picked veggies (the pickled okra is amazing!) and some dipping sauces. You could come just for this, a few drinks and maybe another app and have a wonderful time! However you'd miss the delicious entrees. I got the Brunswick stew which was heavenly. My son loved his cedar plank salmon, said it was one of this favorite salmon preps he's ever had. The ambiance on the patio was pleasant with the hanging plants. The restaurant feels like a hidden gem as you have to travel one of the side alleys to find it. But locals seem to have no problem finding their award winning fave. If you're visiting town, this restaurant is definitely a winner. Plus there are some great shops to stroll nearby before or after.

I had the Green Man Porter. All were great! I'm giving the food the 5 stars. Only thing I don't like is that noisy beeper. Everybody turns and looks at you when it goes off. That needs to go. Since the beeper is not edible, I'm not going to remove a star for a bad idea. :) Just bring the food to the table.
