Wild rice and mushroom dish was excellent (and vegan without butter). Bread service was stellar. Old fashioned with local rye was spot on; less good with bourbon. Kind service. Good vibes for gatherings of all types.
Won't lie, this wasn't our first option, but was so glad we ended up here. The food was delicious and the dessert! Woah, the peaches and cream was the best dessert I've had in a while. Wasn't too sweet, which is my preference and it was cold which made it all the more better in the heat. We sat outside since we had our dogs, and the waiters were super accommodating and sweet. Although it wasn't like other places around that had dog menus etc, they brought out water containers for our pups, and brought us some chopped carrots for them to munch on when we requested it and were super sweet. really enjoyed this place and our pups loved the carrots and water, thank you!
Got the hoe cakes, duck wings, wedge salad, goat cheese burrata, and hush puppies. All were a hit but the hoe cakes - it was the only thing we didn't finish (just didn't resonate with us.) The duck wings were different and tasty, the goat cheese burrata disappeared quickly (and we asked for more of the bread-it was very nice), and the salad and hush puppies were solid. These were shareable plates, and they worked well for four people to get decent-sized sampling portions. If you're hearty eaters (or really hungry) you'll probably need to order more. (We'd had a big lunch so weren't famished.) The atmosphere is kinda rustic, very pleasant. Service was helpful and attentive.
I still dream about the comeback sauce in the hush puppies appetizers. Their apps are huge and great for sharing. Get the bread and butter - you can't go wrong.
What a fantastic experience. Absolutely love this place. My favorites were the oysters, pimento cheese hush puppies, the hoe cake, and the trout.I love the peanut butter budino dessert, and my girl loved the rhubarb dessert. Kelsey was absolutely amazing. We will definitely come back the next time we are in town.
Exceptional! Rustic interior with an open concept kitchen. Really enjoyed being seated near it. The menu is creative with surprising ingredients packed into each item. Very accommodating for my dairy allergy - I was dining with a large group and was given my own annotated version of the menu so I would know what my options were. I was willing to forgo an appetizer, but Allyson + the kitchen came up with a veggie plate for me! I was surprised and really just amazed at all the flavors on the plate. I ordered the scallops and the modified plate of them was delicious. So many different flavors included and it was plated beautifully. I loved their wine menu and the Te-pach-eh cocktail. Finished the meal with lime sorbet which had flavor that transported me to a pier at the beach. I'm so grateful for the excellent kitchen here and Allyson! Her ideas were insightful, helpful, and delicious. Bonus points for her suggestion for a member of my party to have a dessert wine spritz. Can't wait to come back and try more items from the menu!
We enjoyed this farm to table restaurant! Our server, Nicholas, helped a lot with my sister's dietary restrictions. He checked things with the chef, offered menu suggestions, and was attentive and friendly. We sat in a nook by ourselves and it was so fun! The little touches, even in the restroom with the industrial toilet paper holders, candle, and yummy soap were nice! Our only wishes: a vegan/gluten free dessert that was not sorbet, and a smaller fish option with no eyeballs & bones!
Out of this world delicious! This farm to table restaurant is a must visit. We will be back without a doubt.
My wife and I dined at Rhubarb during a recent trip to Asheville. We had a later reservation on a Wednesday night and were promptly seated in a lovely table near the window. We also had a nice view of the open kitchen in the back as well as the chefs table. The restaurant was less crowded than I would have expected but that may have been due to it being later in the season. Our server was quite prompt and we quickly got two cocktails which were excellent. We ordered the mouse, burrata, bouillabaisse, and sweet potato. The mouse itself was very good but i did not love it with the crispy lavash. The Burrata was out of this world and paired amazing with the sweet onions and vinaigrette. It was one of the best Burrata dishes I have ever had. The bouillabaisse had plenty of seafood and a great low country kick. I almost couldn't finish it given how rich it was. Overall the food and service were excellent clearly making Rhubarb one of the top restaurants in Asheville.
