Food and service are fantastic. They also have gluten-free spaghetti made with, I believe, rice rotini pasta. Other gluten-free foods as well. I'll go back soon. Highly recommend.

If I could rate the six stars I would. This will be my new favorite place to go to in Asheville. The staff here was so nice. In terms of the food they actually have a dedicated gluten-free section which is absolutely amazing. I've never been able to have pita bread before and to be able to eat pita bread was very nice. Even their desserts that were gluten-free were absolutely amazing. Unfortunately they're gluten-free fryer was contaminated that they had to clean out so I was not able to try the fries but I will 100% be back here to try more of their food.

We went here for my moms 70th birthday and holy smokes did it exceed all of my expectations. The service was incredible, attentive and sincere. Our server did an amazing job of staying on top of all our needs while also giving us space to enjoy and never making us feel rushed. We took almost all of his recommendations for food, from apps to mains and dessert and each one was spot on and delicious. I so appreciated that management came to our table to check in and how special they all made my mom feel. The food was out of control good with so many gluten free options for me that everyone enjoyed sharing. The vibe and atmosphere were perfect for a nice dinner, celebration or some romance. I can't believe I waited this long to go here even though it's in my neighborhood. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my mom. I'm a customer for life now and I can't wait to go back.

Popped in for lunch with our family of 9 on our “wander Asheville” day of vacation. We quickly became big fans of this downtown spot. Megan, our server, was so kind and attentive - and made great recommendations! The smash burgers were a hit, as was the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and the chicken bacon one whose name now evades me. The twisted fries were also yummy (not gluten free tho 😞). I bet the outdoor vibe is awesome in spring and summer, but we opted for indoor seating since it was cold! Lots of cool art inside, too!

I didn't eat here, but it's my mom's favorite Mediterranean restaurant! I left because I didn't see many good options for my intolerances (gluten, dairy, sugar), but mom loves their salads and dishes! The cakes look INCREDIBLE. The service was very kind and attentive and the theme was really cool. I would recommend swinging by here if you get a chance!

An elegant restaurant in an elegant downtown Asheville hotel right near the Asheville Museum of Art and all the best art galleries. Our party of four all enjoyed the ambiance of Bargello, our excellent omelets, and the enthusiastic, gracious service. Plus, the value seemed good to us for a lovely Sunday brunch. A couple of us have hearing problems, and the maitre d was very accommodating in locating us in a quiet corner. Two of us are gluten-free, and the toast served was probably the best gluten-free toast we ever have had.

The food in Yalla is delicious! It is authentic, the real deal of Mediterranean food. I love the atmosphere, the music, and the people. It's a perfect spot to hang out with friends and enjoy amazing Hummus or any other dish on the menu. Highly recommended for everyone. Great for vegetarians and gluten-free people like me.

Curate is one of the better dining experiences we have had in Asheville. I took a friend there for her birthday and it was a most pleasant experience. The interior of the restaurant is expansive with several different rooms, yet it feels intimate. I was happy to notice that there were several tables for larger parties - after all, small plates are more fun when you share! We chose 3 different small plates and two large plates. The mushrooms and pork were our favorites but all food is carefully prepared and food is high quality. Wine list is on the pricy side. I am medically gluten free and there were several options that were available, and our server pointed out options that could also be made gluten free. For dessert we received a gorgeous custom made cake on a pedestal - it was small (about 3 inches in diameter) but was extremely rich and was ample for the two of us. Would definitely to return to sample different dishes! Tip - go early - it gets crowded quickly. When we left there was an hour wait. Reservations a must.
