Transported back to Europe!…read more This was a charming little cafe in the heart of downtown Asheville. I was lucky to have breakfast there on a beautiful morning in August. The weather was perfect and the little patio with its small tables and chairs took me back to the cafes in Italy. The only difference was the huge portion sizes. My huevos rancheros was enough for two, and that's not a complaint. It was tasty enough to eat all of it! Service was excellent. The food came out quickly and my server was attentive. I took off one Star only because the Americano I ordered tasted a bit burnt. Overall, I'm sorry I don't live closer to make this a weekly visit. Would highly recommend.

DA-YUMMMM! I'm no local but consider a move to Asheville, and Haywood Common is the kind of place…read morethat helps make the decision for me. A friend has brought me here a couple times - once to dine in on the patio with her dog, and once for takeout - and it's been just delightful both times. The dining in experience was a Monday lunch and very quiet while the takeout was a Sunday evening and much busier. Despite the takeout situation, I opted for southern fried chicken most recently and was really delighted with the meal. The collards were well seasoned, the cornbread was huge, the slaw was slaw (though nothing to write home about, it's hard to make slaw that's worth writing about), and the chicken was well breaded, not overcooked, and still kinda crunchy despite its steam bath. I might have had the southern fried chicken plate the first time too, come to think of it... it's just impossible to find well done Southern food in the west, so I can't pass it up! The patio has nice seating options including a couple coveted tables in the shade. They are all pretty huge picnic tables so you may end up sharing if it's busy, but that's kinda the vibe here. There are dog water bowls and ice water for the pups in the summertime. Regarding vibes, it's right up my alley with servers rocking hairy armpits and tattoos all over the place. If you're a little more physically conservative you may be a bit put off, but I'd encourage you to try it out anyway.

I got the Cheesesteak (consisting of grass-fed NC beef, smoked garlic mayo, pepperoncini, and caramelized onions) on a GF bun with vegan cheese and fries with ketchup and garlic mayo. The fries were nicely crispy and the two dipping sauces added great flavor. The flavors on the cheesesteak worked in harmony with great beef and a warm bun. Overall, this is how to get the GF and DF cheesesteak of one's dreams.

I'll admit that I have a bit of a bias against restaurants that are part of hotels. One, they often…read moretend to be overpriced and two, because they have sort of a captive customer base of guests staying at the hotel, I think they can sometimes not try as hard when it comes to providing great food and service. Neither is the case with The Refinery, which is part of the historic Foundry Hotel in The Block area of Asheville. Typical Asheville prices as well as great food and service quality. I had breakfast here with a couple other people in advance of a business meeting. None of us wanted a huge breakfast. First, we needed coffee, which here is on the strong side (just the way I like it in the morning). I wanted to try something from their updated menu that's just being rolled out, so we ordered avocado toast to share. I wouldn't normally order avocado toast, because again I have a bias that it can't be all that hard to make and what can a chef really do to make it worth the price? Their version convinced me that it isn't as easy as it looks. It's not just avocado spread on some bread. Here the avocado was very fresh and made into something almost like guacamole or pesto. So some ingredients were added to it. On top of the bread and avocado were some spring greens and -- here's the important part -- some sort of pickled daikon radish (I was told they pickle their own) that really came on flavor-wise as you finish taking a bite. Definitely umami! There was also a great balsamic vinegar drizzled over it all that evoked a sort of bruschetta-ness to the dish. For my main breakfast, I ordered chicken sausage, which was very good, and cheese grits. Some of the best grits in the Asheville area (although my favorite is maybe still 12 Bones Smokehouse, which puts jalapenos in their cheese grits, this one ranks right up there). Another in my party had Hickory Nut Gap Farms sausage and grits. If you've never had HNGF sausage, it's some of the best, made locally in the Asheville area. The last in my party had an everything bagel with cream cheese (good, but nothing exceptional) and a side of rosemary roasted breakfast potatoes, which are also very tasty here. The atmosphere is modern-industrial. Very friendly and efficient service (love places where the servers all help each other and share the load, versus having designated tables and only taking care of their own). I will definitely come back for a bigger brunch sometime to try their shakshuka and maybe the catfish and grits (they also have more traditional shrimp and grits, but the catfish sounds like it could be a nice variation).

Remember your name and preferences. Pleasant, accommodating, engaging. If I lived locally this would be one of my go-to choices. Music is appropriate...when the bar and restaurant aren't competing with the volume knobs that is. Food - oh, how the quality has trailed off since in the last several months. Maybe it's because the new fall menu is coming out soon. Then again, even items that have been on the menu forever have lost their appeal. It still takes 25+ minutes to get the chicken tender and fries, even when it's super slow and the main restaurant closed. Pizzas continue to sit and come out lukewarm after being taken from the front pizza station to the kitchen for service. It's even dependent on what night of the week you are there. Mondays and Tuesdays are inarguably the worst for food quality and consistency...still. Last week and tonight I opted for the spinach artichoke dip. The amount of artichoke has diminished and the once crispy pita chips are now soggy, greasy, and chewy. Oh, and there's been less of the chips served. The amount of dip outlasts the chips, which is a fairly new issue.
