Best Asheville Dinner of the Year... So Far!

The other evening, we went to Mother and Son Bistro and Bakery on the Northside of Asheville in the Woodfin Township. The 4 course meal and wine was simply incredible. Chef Ryan came out and explained each course in detail. We were loving it!

The first course was Rosemary Pasta, Lemon Pepper Shrimp, and Garlic Olive Oil.

The second course was Butternut Squash Ravioli, Sage Butter, Parmesan, with Bittersweet Chocolate.

The third course was Strip Steak, Java Crust, and it was Black Mocha Stout Glazed with Highland Brewing's Beer!

The fourth course was a Strawberry Macaroon Pistachio Cookie. The wine topped the night off just right. Thank you Mother and Son!!

Savoy Restaurant in Asheville, no more... lunch

This is badddddd news to me, cause I love Asheville Savoy! As long as they stay open for their wonderful dinners and wine, I think I just may be fine. Here is what Eric (the owner) emailed me.

Dear Friends,
There’s a lot that I love about running Savoy, but one of the things that has always brought me the most pleasure is serving lunch. There’s something particularly rewarding about welcoming people in the middle of their busy day and giving them a chance to slow down, relax, laugh, maybe conduct a little business, all over a plate of great food and a glass of wine. But you know what they say about all good things...

These are tough times, and my midday business has slowed to the point that I can no longer justify the cost. As much as it pains me, as of December 15 Savoy will no longer serve lunch. Maybe Spring will bring better days. I hope so. Until then, I still think our dinner menu is the best in town, and I know Savoy will continue to be a favorite neighborhood place to end your day. I look forward to seeing you here soon. http://www.savoyasheville.com/

Friends eat lunch @ The Flying Frog Cafe

It used to be the "New French Bar", but now "The Flying Frog", is one of the Downtown Asheville hot spots to have Sunday brunch, lunch or dinner any day, and a very nice place for evening cocktails and laughs with friends. Their lower level "underground" restaurant (below this main level) is a very private and great place to eat. Food... great, Service... great. It is located on the corner of Battery Park Ave and Haywood St. www.flyingfrogcafe.com
