Aesthetically charming with a warm, rustic feel, this restaurant welcomes you in with the most inviting aroma drifting from the open kitchen — an experience before you even take your first bite!

After sampling several dishes, the standouts were the oysters (and I’m not typically a seafood enthusiast), the beef tartare, and the Rhubarb burger. Each plate delivered refined, well-balanced flavors with a clean, fresh finish that truly impressed the palate.

The thoughtful sourcing of ingredients from local farms and purveyors adds another layer of excellence. It’s clear that intention, care, and passion are woven into every detail — from the culinary artistry to the overall operation of the space.

I’m thrilled to see this impeccable establishment thriving and will absolutely be returning. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates elevated flavors in a beautifully curated setting!

We had a great experience here for Restaurant Week. On a cold night, we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, had amazing service from Andy, and were able to try so many different things from the menu with their flexible “Creat Your Own Tasting Menu” special. We will definitely be back to support this wonderful restaurant! A few pictures of the Sumac House Chips with trout dip, fried quail with a delicious mustard slaw, and the pork loin.

This is absolutely the best food we have had not only in Asheville but anywhere in a while. Oyster Benton, exquisite, chicken liver mousse I would order again and again. The bread is baked fresh daily and it showed. Would go back again and again for those three things, but the strip steak was tender and perfectly prepared and paired nicely with the veggies. You only have to taste the food to know this is a true farm to chef to table.

This is a not to miss restaurant. Wine selection is worthy of the 5 star dining.

Our server Trey was hospitable and made great suggestions for us.

We will be back. . . Often.

Fresh, seasonal, thoughtful dishes all around. Just what you’re hoping for in an American eatery of this caliber.

Our server was helpful and kind. When you’re a tourist, even after multiple visits to an area, it’s easy to have decision fatigue by dinner, but the hospitality we experienced was thoughtful and generous.

The Spoonbread Pancake was delicious and unlike anything we’d ever had before. Everything about it was wonderful, the texture, flavors and the ham was richly salty without being overwhelming.

The Summer Vegetable Salad was just perfect with crunchy romaine and inspirational bread crumbs.

Though it was my least favorite dish of the meal, because it didn’t blow my mind the same way all the other dishes did, the Half Chicken was well prepared, a balanced combination of richness from the rice and chicken, brightened by the sauce and rhubarb.

We enjoyed two desserts, which ended up being more dessert than we needed. 🙂 My favourite was the Panacotta but I think the Chocolate Cake was my husband’s favorite. It was amazingly flavorful and decadent.

We drove 1.5 hours from Beech Ski Mountain to try this food. And we are not disappointed at all. It was St. Valentines Day , so it’s understandable that we waited for our reservation 1.5 hours. But it was worth it. We had 5 courses menu and it was amazing. My favourite items were mushroom oysters and poached egg in red wine sauce. Everything was so delicious.

Came here for dinner with friends. Able to get seating for a group of 9. The food was great. Mushroom appetizers and sweet potato fries with egg were good. The mushrooms were very meaty. I had the whole chicken which was really good. I usually don’t get chicken entrees at restaurants, but I’m happy glad I did. The desserts were great too.

A lovely spot for some local delicacies. Highlights and celebrates local farms and producers. The staff was extremely insightful and charming with their familiarity with the menu.
I’d strongly suggest the carrots, trout, and the bread service.
The strawberry sundae was incredibly comforting and nostalgic.

Amazing evening. Had a 7:30 reservation and we were promptly seated. Rhubarb definitely lived up to its reputation. Our waitperson, Carrie was incredible and so were all the other staff. The gnocchi, the hoecake, the short rib, and the pimento cheese hush puppies were all excellent. Last but not least, the blueberry “mess”, what a fun and delicious combination of flavors and textures.
Thanks Rhubarb.

We were excited to try this place because the menu looked more interesting than Posana next door. The ambiance is so so. Service was great. Their sweet potato was literally less than half a sweet potato, plain baked, with an egg and some popcorn on top. For $18. Sausage was so so, hard to digest. The only dish we liked was the bison short ribs, but at $29 it was a tiny portion, which became tinier when we ordered a second one. Also the only thing that tasted good on that plate was the actual meat.
