    My daughter and I come to Asheville a couple of times each year. Each time we try a different restaurant. The Marketplace is absolutely TOPS!!! Everyone there is warm and welcoming. The service staff (Dakota) is engaging and knowledgeable. The food, obviously the most important, is DELICIOUS!!! Next trip to Asheville just might be a deviation from choosing a different restaurant...it was seriously that good! Thanks to everyone there for a wonderful dining experience!

    Great staff, I was not impressed by the food, 2 dishes were so salty that i returned them. Wait staff was amazing, food left a lot to be desired.

    Every dish we had was delicious and expertly prepared. It looked as amazing as it tasted. The service was spot on from hostess, servers, bartender and waiter. We look forward to retuning.

    We stay in downtown Asheville once or twice a year and somehow have never been here. That was a mistake. We had a great meal—thanks.
