I ordered a glass of the sauv blanc, as recommended by the bartender and it was delish crisp and delightful. Perfect for an intensely warm day!

Based on a fabulous first experience at Root And Bone several months ago, I was excited for a…read moresecond visit while back in the area. It couldn't have been more disappointing. I ordered the chicken pot pie, which was absolutely delicious the first time I had it -- big chunks of white meat chicken, lots of veggies, wonderful flavor. Last night, I remembered why I typically don't eat chicken pot pie. Literally nothing but crust, a few small pieces of chicken and a handful of peas and carrots. $19. Shame on me for not sending it back. I told my server how disappointed I was. His response? I'll let the kitchen know. When he returned with my bill I was offered a free dessert. Are you kidding me? I had to go find dinner. No discount or apology. Very dismissive. Additionally, the restaurant was way too warm. Cost cutting all the way around? Definitely avoid!

Once we walked in, it felt like we went back in time and it was very whimsical. Our bartender Nick was amazing and so personable.

You could tell Nick was very knowledgeable and had passion for the mixology of cocktails. He made a killer smoked old fashioned and kept us company. We enjoyed the vibe even though it wasn't busy but Nick really made it a great time!

This morning my family and I decided to get up early and grab a bite at Arabella's in downtown…read moreHendersonville. Usually we come around 10ish and there's a small wait or the place is just really packed (even outdoor seating). But today we stopped around 8:30 and there was only a couple of tables taken up. We were greeted with a smile right away and taken to a table. We were given 2 different menus. One containing the different breakfast and brunch options they offer and the second one with the coffees and alcoholic beverages. Once you look at the menu you see that there is a lot of the basic breakfast options you can find at other restaurants. But what also makes the menu different is that they offer latin breakfast and lunch items like huevos rancheros, huevos con chorizo, tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Since it was so early I decided to go with the huevos rancheros since I've never had them here before. I also decided to go with the honey bear latte (iced) with oat milk as my drink for this morning. My latte was really good! It had hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and honey. The oat milk mixed in perfectly making the latte have a nice creamy taste. Once my dish came out I was happy at the presentation of the plate. I ordered my eggs overhard and they came topped with salsa roja, queso fresco, and cilantro. All of this was placed on top of a fried tortilla and given to me with a side of home fries. Over all I did like the dish. I will say the salsa roja threw me off because I expected it to be a little more spicy, however it had a more citrus/lime taste to it. The home fries however were a 10/10 for me, I liked how crispy they were and how I didn't need to add more salt and pepper to them. Overall I really did enjoy my time this morning at Arabella's. Our server was super nice and attentive with us. The atmosphere is calming. Also it's nice to see the people of Hendersonville coming in and supporting this local business. If you're from the area or a tourist definitely check this place out. You wont be dissapointed.
