    I was visiting Asheville and it was my first time at Blackbird. The risotto I had was delicious, the server was attentive but not at all intrusive and it was delightful overall.

    The mashed sweet potatoes were the best sweet potatoes I have ever had! My petit filet was delicious and my wife’s vegan steak was delicious as well. Topped off with chocolate cheesecake and coffee and was an amazing meal.

    My partner and I had a grand time enjoying a special birthday dinner at Modesto. Veronica, our upbeat server, made us feel welcome, was attentive to every detail, and warmly professional in her timely service to our table. The food - so many choices! - satisfied every anticipation, was artfully plated and robustly delicious. Our table for two, in a quiet corner, was perfect for the occasion. Our next visit we hope to sit at the bar. Modesto is an intimate space, cozy in the cold months, that expands with spacious streetside seating when days are warmer. We will be back. Five Stars
