We had such a wonderful dining experience here. Our waitress Madison was knowledgeable and personable, her energy lit up the room! The manager, David, was attentive and engaging. He went above and beyond to accommodate us. It’s quite evident the employees at this establishment are treated well and love their job. From what we heard, the owners have cultivated this remarkable atmosphere. We had such a fabulous anniversary dinner and loved spending it with the Hell or High Water family. Thank you for hosting us 🙂

We’d been looking forward to visiting Hell or High Water since we’d heard they were opening, and when we finally got a chance to visit tonight it more than lived up to our expectations. The service was prompt, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere was inviting, from the midcentury standards music to the decor where we sat in the Highwater Room upstairs to the sweeping mountain views beyond the rooftop deck. And the food and drinks were delicious from start to finish. We rarely order steak at restaurants because we’re often happier with steaks we grill at home, but the Foothills Butcher Shop 28 day dry-aged bone-in ribeye was spectacular. Other standouts were the agnolotti and the deviled eggs, although we enjoyed everything we tried. We can’t wait to return to sample more of the menu.

Our dinner last night was delicious! This was our second visit and we brought some friends along who wanted to try it. They did not disappoint. Every dish was outstanding, from the appetizers, trout spread & potato waffle, to the entrees, butternut squash pasta, pappardelle w/ beef, mushroom dish & the Ribeye tomahawk, with homemade donuts that were outstanding! Prepare yourself for a “slowed-down” experience since it’s tapas. Food comes out as it is ready & is meant for sharing. Great signature drinks & wine selection too! Upstairs seating has great atmosphere and look forward to outdoor experience when weather warms up!

Our visit to Hell or High Water was a flawlessly delicious experience! This is much more than a restaurant. We were immediately given a warm welcome and were impressed by the upscale yet comfortable & romantic decor. Our server suggested an excellent wine to accompany or exceptional meal of heavenly scotch olives, the best trout dip we’ve ever had, a fun and delicious tater-tot waffle, and perfect bone in aged ribeye for two with creamed kale. Even the potatoes were exceptional! We will absolutely return and look forward to sharing this fantastic venue with friends.

We visited this restaurant to celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday. We brought my nine-month-old child, and they were incredibly accommodating, providing us with a high chair from their brewery next door.
The food was absolutely delicious. Our starters, the Scotch Olives and Tot Waffle, were a great start. For dinner, we shared the 25-day aged bone-in ribeye and the pan-seared flounder. The quality of the meat was exceptional, and the prices were reasonable considering that they own their own butcher shop.

This is exactly the kind of restaurant we hope to discover when visiting a new town. The menu felt intentional, with every dish thoughtfully prepared, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between cozy and refined, and the staff went above and beyond to make the experience feel personal and welcoming. Exceptional food paired with genuine hospitality made this a meal we won’t forget.

As someone who grew up in Asheville and went to school in Swannanoa I am so proud of this quality of restaurant in blk mtn!
Absolutely love our evening. The wait staff were tentative, knowledge, curiosity and helpful, we had Justine.
The food and drinks were incredible we had the beef tartare ( our only “complaint” is we wish it had the crust just on the edge so you could taste the meat better), trout dip with beef tallow saltines, a steak with the fries and for dessert we had the spumoni joconde.
As someone who works in the accessibility industry, I was glad to see it being fully wheelchair accessible including an elevator!
Can’t wait to go back!

Simply one of the best restaurants my wife and I have ever been to. From the service (Jimmy is awesome) to the views, the amazing food and drinks…you can’t go wrong. The pictures tell the story. Don’t sleep on the grilled cheese, hands down the best I’ve ever had.

First visit to Hell or High Water and it won’t be our last!! EVERYTHING was spectacular – we sat on the patio on a crisp Halloween evening. (Oh! The view!) We were immediately greeted by Christina and welcomed. We ordered the smoked trout appetizer, I had the seasonal pumpkin Old Fashioned, (which was delicious) and then hubs ordered the boneless ribeye (perfectly cooked to medium rare) with a glass of red wine and I had the Maritake Mushrooms. What a perfect combo! We shared a bit of my mushrooms with his steak and WOW! What a flavor surprise. I also enjoyed dipping the very thin, crispy fries in the garlic cream sauce in my dish..Trust me, you will be happy. They also treated our 80 lb GoldenDoodle with love, kindness, and water (we got him his own burger patty..Rugby gives this place 2 paws up ). Christian and Side kick- y’all were great! Hope to return soon.

This was the first time we’ve tried Hell or High Water, but we’ll be back. It’s basically a tapas place and wine bar. We were there mid day, and for some reason were the only people there. It has a somewhat eclectic selection of small plates, all of which we tried were quite good. It’s an excellent location with an excellent atmosphere. We had the tater tot waffle, the Calabacitas, and the Scotch Olives, all of which were very good.
