The bartender described some of the local beers that we were not familiar with and took our order quickly. The grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and flavorful and the fries were cooked to a golden brown, just the way I like them. Ambience was "bar casual" with a mix of locals and out-of-towners. It's a fun place and located in easy walking distance from the White Horse music venue.

Plenty of things there to catch your eye from clothing to records to sports gear to local hardware store stores.

This place is tucked away next to the town visitor center back in the woods and has a very cabin like feel. We will absolutely be back next time we're in Black Mountain..

Goat cheese wrap with chicken, sweet potato fries. Wouldn't change a thing. SO good.

Bread, 2 small plates, and 2 larger plates were more than enough for 3. Everything was tasty. Focaccia was fresh, toasty, and buttery. Plump mussels, tender monkfish. Duck slightly dry. Small surprising flavors in all the dishes (including curry, coconut, rosemary, saffron). Chocolate cake (complimentary) was fine, I just prefer a softer warm cake to a cooled harder cake. On par with other upper scale/casual NC spots.
