Had a great dinner with the wife at The Blind Mule in downtown Brevard. We shared a bunch of small plates which were all quite tasty. Finished the meal off right with an amazing flourless chocolate cake covered in a chocolate ganache.
Our server was friendly and attentive and our food came out in a timely manner.
This is a quiet & elegant setting that is perfect for a special occasion.
4.5 Stars!

Great restaurant in Brevard. One of the few good ones. Kept meaning to come and finally got in. Ann was an excellent bartender/server.

We went here for the first time this evening and were incredibly impressed. When you take a couple that’s doing Dry January, one a vegetarian, one a meat eater, and want to eat at the bar….
The Blind Mule was perfect for all of this. For me, the salmon special was SPOT ON. For her the shakshuka was deliciously spicy and flavorful. Even the mocktails were outstanding.
More importantly, we spoke with Carole (one of the owners) for a while and she exuded warmth and kindness. The bartender was fantastic and the ambience was exactly our style.
I can’t recommend it more.

Came here for dinner after a wedding. Lovely staff & great food. Smaller groups are probably best, but they were able to accommodate our party of 7. Will be visiting again next time I’m in NC!

There appeared to be only one server for the entire place with a backup/clean up. We were seated about twenty minutes before any service or drinks ordered. When the drinks arrived the vodka martini arrived warm without olives or garnish of any kind. We walked to the bar ourselves to ourselves to request and receive olives. I ordered trout which is our local fish. It appeared to be cooked from frozen and was rubbery. It was not edible and returned.Our other two meals were assessed as marginal. No one inquired about the return or apologized for the meal. The desserts were good and arrived with a candle for birthday. The owner always comes by but in our case it was before the food arrived which does not allow for a valid assessment. We love to support local business but we won’t go back here. It’s cute and friendly but the food is way less than acceptable.

We stopped here for an evening cocktail after walking our dogs and it was absolutely wonderful!
The waitstaff were friendly and attentive, the cocktails were absolutely DELICIOUS, and the side patio was so charming! We met Carol who must’ve been the owner and had a lovely conversation about all the potted flowers and decor. It’s clear how much time and intention was put into this space and we are so glad we decided to stop in – can’t wait to return and enjoy a full meal next time!

The service and atmosphere was great . The food was lacking of seasoning on every dish we’ve had unfortunately. Scallops were good my friend said but quinoa was tasteless. Artichoke was all stringy and even the heart wasn’t soft. Wild mushroom gratin with a goat cheese – very little cheese and it wasn’t a gratin at all – no cheese no breadcrumbs. I’m pretty sure my veal chop wasn’t a veal. Tasted like pork and it was presented as a lamb chop by the waiter by mistake and it was none of it. Was quite tough, while the veal should be a very tender lean meet. Mushrooms in the sauce and the sauce were no taste. The raspberry tart – not too impressing either.
Good presentation, nice vibe, great service- food not so much
Cocktails were nice. Overall- overrated.

While our server was lovely once she came to our table when we were seated by the hostess we weren’t given the specials menu, waters, or the cocktail menu like other tables were. We tried the Italian porchetta empanadas and lamb tikka masala meatballs and split the trout with cheese grits and spinach. The food was good-the meatballs had a delicious sauce and were the highlight, the pepita crusted trout was prepared well but the spinach served with it was bland-everything could have used a little seasoning. We each had the pear spiced old fashioned which was good but given the gigantic ice ball seemed a little skimpy. Would say a little over priced for our experience

The Blind Mule is such a gem in Brevard. I grew up in Brevard and am in town every couple of months to visit friends and family. The atmosphere is relaxed but the space has a lot of attention to detail and pleasant. Carol is always courteous and stops by for a friendly conversation. The waitstaff are friendly and knowledgable. The cocktails are excellent! The food is very very good and the small plates menu changes every few months so there’s always something new but also some yummy standards. I always look forward to going and typically book a reservation as soon as I know I’m going to be in town. Highly recommend.

We would reserve a table every night we stayed in Brevard if we could. Family owned, farm to table creative dishes. You definitely could tell the ingredients are fresh and there is thought in every dish on the menu and daily specials. We visited Brevard for a weekend getaway but also celebrated 9 years together. The Blind Mule was our first night stop. High recommend the duck egg rolls and Lamb wedge fries for an appetizer. For entrees my husband ordered the tenderloin with garlic mash and the veggie of day which was asparagus. I had the NY strip special with sweet mash and veggie of the day. Cooked to the temperatures we wanted, tender and the Demi glazed that came with both our dishes were to die for. We also had dessert my husband had the chocolate moose cake which was rich and I had the wild berry crumble which was super fresh. Let’s just say I almost forgot to take a picture of all our dishes because of how good they not only looked but smelled. Great drinks as well! We are big foodies and love reviewing local eats. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable on the menu. Super chill atmosphere. Great for date night. Highly highly recommend!
