Vue 1913 in Asheville

Absolutely best place restaurant we've ever been too. Everything down to the varieties of bread at the beginning of the meal were impeccable. My husband got the filet mignon and lobster, he insisted I try it even though I hate steak due to the texture. This is the first steak I've EVER said was GOOD! It was juicy and tender. I honestly can't understand why someone would have left a negative review. The atmosphere is peaceful and romantic! A great way to celebrate his birthday. They brought him this adorably decorated chocolate dessert to end our evening.

We were visiting Asheville, staying at a different hotel but decided to try Vue 1913 at the Omni Grove Park Inn for a fine dining experience after taking in the gingerbread house competition displays. Sadly our reservations were after sunset so we didn’t have much of a ‘vue’, but we did watch a beautiful sunset sitting in the bar/lounge area just around the corner while we waited for our reservation time. We started our dining with the potato leek soup. Not something I would normally order, but this was exceptional. The bread and cracker plate was a great complement. We also had to try the deviled eggs. The caviar sent them way over the top. My wife ordered the Chilean sea bass special and was overwhelmed by how incredibly delicious it was. I ordered the lobster and grits. It was without a doubt the most deliciously tender succulent lobster I’ve ever eaten, including lobster I’ve speared myself in the Bahamas and eaten less than 40 minutes later. I also had their special old fashioned and again one of the best I’ve had. Not cheap- but well worth it. Service was world class with our server very attentive and she also made excellent wine pairing suggestions. Overall a delightful dining experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip (sorry Vue 1913, Van Gogh takes first place).

Very disappointed on this overly high priced restaurant. Ordered Wagyu steak $98 and lobster $32. Steak was good but lobster was lukewarm and tasteless. Mashed potatoes, green beans and carrots were served cold and also tasteless. Very disappointed!
