Rhubarb in Asheville

I visited Aville with my two teenagers. We were glad to be able to make a brunch reservation at Rhubarb. The atmosphere is so nice, and the staff even nicer! Food-wise, we had a couple things that were beyond our expectations, and the other items were about average.We loved:-Biscuits. WOW. We could have just eaten those. We've never had any biscuits like them. The jam was delicious as well.- Fried Chicken Biscuit. Again, unique and absolutely perfect. Even my non-chicken-loving daughter loved it! I would go back just for this.- The mocktails were fun too. We had a Catch 23 that I really liked. And my daughter really liked the Bad Art soda (note, it is not very sweet).We also tried the hamburger. It was dry and just ok. Maybe order medium? Fries were fine.Sausage was ok.We also tried the omelette. It was ok but not a lot of taste.We would go back, if just for the special things, the great atmosphere and staff, and for the fresh food. We would just try some other things.

The restaurant was COVID compliant with everyone wearing a mask including staff. Waiter was attentive.The meal was good but not the best we ever had. The goat cheese burrata was tasty and so was the chicken dish and the duck confit could have had more duck. The deconstructed s’more were a total miss.Overall ok.

Unique and seasonal menu with great service in a really cool setting. The location is amazing and the decor is rustic and perfect for the farm-to-table concept. Their take cornbread was very interesting and super tasty. The gnocchi was a little different in that there wasn't much of a sauce with it. Not necessarily a bad thing, just a little different than what we expected. The half chicken was amazing though. We rarely order chicken at a restaurant but this was done to perfection. Served in a baking dish, it is plenty of food for two plus leftovers. Smyly was our server and he was fantastic. I highly recommend Rhubarb!
