    First time at this place. Great service We tried the watermelon salad, Short ribs and trout! All excellent. Gus was our server! We skipped dessert. Too full!

    If you are looking for a unique, cozy dining experience, this place is fantastic. The regular menu is well designed and has a lot of variety, but the daily specials are what should out during my visit. I had the Focaccia Bread appetizer, Blackened Salmon Salad, Chocolate Cake and a double espresso. Most items are farm to table and have a GF preparation option. We sat at the bar, spoke to the owner and were treated like royalty from the moment we stepped into the restaurant. The service and quality of food, the attention to detail and casual atmosphere will have me coming back on a regular basis. You do not want to miss this jewel in downtown Brevard. Reservations are highly recommended for all open hours of operation.

    West African stew
    Jeff H.

    A fairly new addition to the Asheville area with an impressive chef that cooks up variations of comfort food. The West African peanut stew was some of the best I've had and I'm from Charleston! It's a great restaurant, but doesn't have a ton of seating, so on a weekend or in the summer, I'd go in between meals or make a reservation. The service was a little slow at first, but she made up for it in the end. And the deserts were absolutely beautiful and delicious !

    Dinner tonight was wonderful! I had the short ribs. The tomato sauce was rich and the goat cheese added an incredible flavor level to this. Love the farm to table approach. I shared the menu but you can expect it to change seasonally. Great atmosphere.

    We could not be more excited for The Blind Mule to be apart of the Brevard dining scene! When we discovered there was a new place in town, we made reservations pronto! I called to make a reservation, but they are also on Resy!!! (Hey, other Brevard dining establishments- get on board!!) We had a reservation for 7:30 on a Saturday night, and we arrived our table was not ready, as the diners at our table were enjoying themselves so much! This was a great sign in my opinion! They took us to the bar where we enjoyed a drink while we waited for our table. This interlude allowed us time to chat with the proprietor, and what a lovely lady/family/story. I had a glass of Prosecco and then wanted a Chardonnay to accompany my meal- they were so kind as to bring me a sample of the two they offered by the glass. Food: Duck fat fries- delicious potato wedges with chunks of pulled duck. Brisket Empanada, delicious and stuffed with meat, cheese and caramelized onion. Chicken & Portabello strudel, another exceptional savory pastry dish. Airline Chicken so flavorful, I just for some reason adore this cut of chicken- and always get tickled when I can order it! This was the most traditional dish we had, and it was lovely. We were too late and missed out on the Elk Pot Pie special! All the large tapas style entrees were excellent! For dessert we had the pecan pie and chocolate cake - both were very good!!! I cannot wait to go back and try more menu items, and see what specials they will have next!!

    Another lovely dining experience at The Blind Mule! We love the ambiance of this downtown treasure. Olivia was charming and attentive to every detail. The food was amazing! I had the Rock Shrimp Gnocchi and my husband had the Chicken and Egg Shakshuka.... delicious! We are so glad The Blind Mule has joined the Brevard dining scene

    I hesitate to write this, because it's a hidden gem. And I don't wanna be squeezed out!!! But…read more.. to be fair, I have to say this about the place. It is WONDERFUL. The man serving is amazing, and I absolutely adore him. The man who owns the place is equally adorable, and I adore him, too! You will NOT find two better place to give your time and money to locally, and I swear by that. Always a dynamic food truck on premises. Always a great supply of my FAVORITE wine, beer, and cider. And always receptive of our toddler (our Irish Setter). Go. RUN THERE!!! Trust me, just go. You won't be sorry. These people and this place is among the best in Asheville. Never mind Sierra Nevada or any of the other over popularized breweries. They're over priced and over filled. Go here. You can thank me later. And you WILL.

    Wonderful new bar in Mills River. This is an old filling station (hence the name) that was last an…read moreantique store and has recently been renovated into a trendy, spacious, relaxing beer wine and coffee bar. Their beer and wine menu rotates and is curated with the classics and wonderful new options you've maybe have never even heard of. Food trucks here on most evenings with good variety. The owners are incredible, warm and inviting, and the other staff are really engaging and knowledgable about the selections. You can walk in with a slight idea of what you like in a wine and they'll help you find one that's just right for you. Free wine tastings every third Thursday is the month and other fun events and themes from time to time. I'd say this is a great spot to do some work (intentionally placed outlets for laptops!!!), relax and read a book, catch up with friends, celebrate an occasion, or just kill time while figuring out what to do with the rest of your day (as we're doing now).
