Let me start by saying that this was their opening day after covid 19. Let me further say that we were finally seated at 0930... They close at 1000. Caveats aside, this staff has some serious retraining before they are ready. The kitchen had run out of some ingredients and made the dishes without asking whether I or my guests wanted to order something different. To be sure, the menu was already limited, so in all likelihood I would have accepted the breakfast without those ingredients or with a substitution. But after waiting a half hour to be seated and a full fifteen minutes for the server to take our order, and with no forewarning, the answer was a firm no thank you... We left without eating. I hate wasting food, but this was unacceptable. The kitchen should have told us and we might have been more accommodating.

Mediocre at best. I went for a burger at 1pm and was the only person in there. The burger was tough, pretty dry, and lacked flavor. The tomato was cut incredibly thick.

This was probably one of the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant 50+ years. However they were not well staffed for the amount of people there and the front desk help and the security had to help with service. The food was great once we received it about a hour (maybe more) my husband ordered the hamburger and they dropped the top of his bun in the floor and after about 15 minutes I had to go to the kitchen myself to get a top. The staff were very nice and helpful. Being in the restaurant business I can for sure understand the situation being understaffed.

AWFUL! Went there to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. He looked and the menu and thought it sounded great. When we walked in NO ONE was there. The only staff member who sat us was the only one we saw the entire time. She was very rude! The changed their menu and only had 6 items on the menu for brunch. We had to ask several times for waters to be brought to the table. The food was either COLD or NOT COOKED AT ALL. Never going back there and going to make sure everyone in Asheville knows about this.

Menu was limited, but execution was very good, especially for the price. An improvement for the hotel, no doubt.

Go for breakfast and order the Cure and the French Toast! You will not regret it.I typically do not eat breakfast at hotels - because I want to explore and get the full experience. Holy cow was I wrong! I ordered the Cure and the French Toast (no compote) for breakfast. The BEST fried chicken and French toast I have ever had.The Cure is an open face battered chicken biscuit sandwich with gravy, fried green tomatoe, bacon, and sunny side up eggs. The chicken was nice a crispy with just the right amount of batter.The French toast was made of challah bread, and had a light citrusy and vanilla note. I have never been able to perfect how to get flavor into French toast, so I have a serious appreciation for how good this French toast was!And then to top it off, our server was by far the nicest waitress we encountered in all of Asheville (and that means a lot since we noticed almost EVERYONE was incredibly nice).
