    This Appalachian-Italian dining experience was as memorable as our personal favorite restaurants world-wide. From the service to the food, this dining experience was exceptional. Our server Jamie knew the menu well and how to accommodate dietary needs, as well as assist with wine preferences. We requested the Apex area for a quiet dining experience. A fantastic evening that will not be forgotten. We’ll be back!

    Great experience. We were seated by a window with a nice view of Biltmore. Sara, our server was wonderful and attentive. We ordered a salad and entree and both were delicious and we thank the chef. Black Bird is one of our favorites in Asheville and recommend highly.

    Our waitress was wonderful, provided excellent recommendations. One guest in our party is gluten free so they were blown away to hear about it being a completely GF restaurant. He was so excited with choices and options he doesn’t usually get to have. And the overall menu was delicious. The pimento cheese hush puppies were absolutely amazing!

    Wildwood Still is an Asheville treasure. From its almost 360 view of the mountains, particularly beautiful at sunset, to its sleek modern decor, Wildwood Still is a spectacular experience. And that's before you get to the world class food and drinks. We started with spicy roasted edamame, then went on to their signature duck confit bao buns, Chinese BBQ ribs and decadent smash burgers. Desserts were equally awesome, a Basque cheesecake with citrus whip and barley gelato with red bean sauce and honey brittle -- all original, unique and delicious. If you're visiting Asheville or you're a local who hasn't tried it yet, don't miss Wildwood Still.
