Got here around 930 and had a bit of a wait. Better be good!…read more So the wait was not too bad. Looked over the menu. I landed on the bodega and Deb got the fried green tomatoes. The bodega was amazing. Nice bacon and ham and a soft brioche bun. Lots of American cheese. Delicious. Grab a side smack sauce to dip. Debs fried green tomatoes were really good too. Crunchy and green! Really nice. Chill local vibe but you can see there were tourists like us there too. It is worth the wait!

My takeout was ready on time. While the falafel roll still might have been better fresh, I wanted something that I could plausibly eat several hours later on a mountain without a ton of restaurants nearby, and that choice worked out well. Many falafel rolls come with add-ons that I don't like, but the pickled turnip offering here was both flavorful and colorful. I also got their fries, drizzles with tahini and parsley, which is a good way to eat fries. A case of baked goods and a small market section of canned items were also available. There was certainly space to eat inside or out for someone without my travel schedule. It's also notable that in addition to the usual falafel, they offer ample vegan options as befits the Asheville community, including a house seitan and some other vegetable and fake meat options. I was happy with what I got, but the choice is always appreciated.

Overall, this is where to go if you've got a seriously empty stomach and are craving Middle Eastern cuisine.

We couldn't tell if that was the hotel's generic restaurant, or Bargello, until we spotted a stack of menus which said Bargello.

We were expecting to be in and out in an hour but were there for 2 hours. Food was not bad. Our favorite was the octopus appetizer, tender octopus over a tasty bed of veggie and chorizo. We also ordered the bucatini carbonara which was tasty. The short rib pizza was a bit too saucy and salty for us. The broccolini side was good. We got the turtle cheesecake and it was quite heavy, I didn't realize it was a deconstructed cheesecake. Overall not a bad option and convenient if you are a hotel guest, but there are plenty of other restaurants nearby to try.

We had the pup in tow so we were forced to sit outside on the patio where it was quite chilly. However, they offered us outdoor space heaters which kept us perfectly warm. Our server was super friendly and gave us great recommendations. I started with a cup of hot coffee but was quickly convinced to follow it up with a glass of red wine. I had to order the bolognese after recommendation from the server and it was fantastic. The pasta was al dente and the red sauce was tasty. I also tried the seasonal soup - the butternut squash, which was hearty and perfect on such a cold day. The egg salad sandwich was STACKED and topped with smoked salmon. Everything we tried was delicious - I'm sad to see they were impacted by Helene but hope to see them reopen soon!!

When we arrived two or three other tables were seated, one was just placing their order and the others appeared to have their food. It took nearly 40 minutes for our order to be served: two salads, an omelette and three sides, one of which were fries that appeared to be uncooked. We also ordered the Roasted Brussel Sprout Salad. Not only were the sprouts not roasted, but cold, like they had just come out of the refrigerator. When we said something to our server, her reply was, "What would you like me to do." We asked for the fries to be removed from our bill, and should have done the same for the salad. Fortunately, the omelette and second salad were enjoyable for the rest of our party, which is why this review is getting two stars.

So much fresh veggies, great tempeh, and yes the veggies! Really good, not salty, not soaked in oil. Really, really good. SCW oradered the Rueben. Really good as well. Great vegan rueben that wasn't soaked in oil. Laughing seed was awesome. The people were great and so welcoming. Give Laughing Seed Cafe a chance. I'm sure you'll enoy it.

For entrees my husband got the salmon massaman curry and I got the chicken mushroom noodles. The mushroom sauce was earthy and full of depth. I loved the grape tomatoes and the pop of sweetness they brought to the noodles. There's street parking around and two bathrooms that are spacious and clean in the restaurant. We got the house fruit punch for drinks which is a blend of orange, guava and pineapple juice. They also serve kombucha, tea, a variety of beers, and many other drinks. Two entrees ended up being around $72 including tax and tip.
