There is plenty to see if you arrive early and want to stroll the outside patio area with a cocktail. They were only okay. Beautiful Mountain scenery, especially at sunset. Inside is nicely decorated, but barely air conditioned if you come on a hot summer evening. Wait staff were friendly, but not overly attentive. Lots of seating options inside and out. Inside there is one long table where multiple groups are seated. Sit on the end by the overhead AC unit is my advice. Other smaller tables available for a more intimate meal. Pricey but we were celebrating my birthday--so worth it! Thanks PBS for telling us about Horseshoe Farm just outside Hendersonville, NC.

The one disappointment was pots de creme for dessert it was good chocolate pudding, but not pots de creme (I bake pots de creme - this isn't it).

We discovered the spot upon leaving the restaurant next door about a month ago and diners coming from Wild Morel asked us how our dinner was and declared that Wild Morel was much better. We were intrigued, so last night we tried it along with our weekend guests. Two of us had the squid ink pasta-delicious! My husband had the papardelle and my girlfriend had the pasta bolonaise which she finished ( I knew she loved it because she rarely eats all of what she is served). We started with the housemade fries with gorgonzola dipping sauce. Amazing! I will for sure order that again in the future. It was an unusually hot evening in the mountains and unfortunately their air conditioning system was not up to the task but we were all enjoying ourselves so we forgot about it soon enough. My 5 star review is based mainly on the food and charming ambience. Service, if I could review that alone would only be a 3. While our server was earnest, she wasn't terribly attentive and it took a long time to get drinks and starters to arrive. All in all though we had a great time and I am sure my husband and I will be back, especially as the cooler months set in.

My husband made an error on the bill and only tipped about 12% of the total, which worked out to about 15% of the food portion of the bill. Our bad; we usually do 20%. But for the first time ever in my experience, the restaurant CALLED US on the way home, demanding to know why we only tipped 12%! I was so jolted by this unfortunate ending to a nice night out that I knee-jerk apologized and told her to add more tip. Again, my bad: I should have either gone through the bill with her or just told them to stuff it. Granted, there was a minor calculation error, but restaurants know this happens, and you don't track down the diner and scold them. Left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended). Don't think we'll be back.

6 Stars. The…read morePavilion in Brevard is a hidden diamond in Brevard. From the moment you walk up, there's a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel less like a customer and more like someone they're genuinely happy to have there. The staff absolutely deserves recognition--they're friendly, attentive, professional, and somehow manage to make the experience feel personal without ever being overbearing. What really stood out to me was the overall experience. Great service is one thing, but when you combine it with a comfortable atmosphere, good people, and the feeling that the staff actually cares whether you enjoy yourself, it turns an ordinary night out into something memorable. There are plenty of places where you can spend your money. There are far fewer places that make you leave thinking, "I definitely want to come back." The Pavilion is one of those places. If you're in Brevard or anywhere nearby and haven't been yet, put this place on your list. Whether you're going out with friends, spending time with someone special, or just looking for a place where you can relax and enjoy yourself, The Pavilion is absolutely worth visiting. Thank you to everyone there for making the experience such a great one. You've earned a repeat customer. The food was excellent. Six stars without hesitation.

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
