Sunday brunch was the best I’ve had in Asheville this year. The risotto cakes are criminally underrated and our server Riley made the kids feel special without rushing them.
Theme: brunch experience45-minute wait on a Tuesday, walk-in, no apology from the host. Bartender wouldn’t comp a soda. Went to a competitor a block over — best decision.
Theme: wait timeWine pairing dinner last night was unreal — local vintner walked every table and the sommelier matched each course. Already DM’d about the next one.
Theme: wine listDish — the smoked trout — was brilliant. Service was on the slow side but our server flagged it herself and offered a complimentary starter. Easy 4.5 stars.
Theme: service recoveryOnline order showed “ready in 25 min,” stood at the pickup counter 50 minutes past that. No text, no apology. The bag was cold and one item was missing.
Theme: online order handoffSpecials board is the real deal — caught the trout two ways, the butternut agnolotti was a steal at $14. Reservation was honored exactly when I walked in.
Theme: specialsSaturday-night wait times back over 45 minutes — three OpenTable cancel-and-come-back-out incidents.
Saturday 7:30 reservations running 60-70 minutes late — OpenTable cancel spikes.
Pickup times slid past the 25-min ETA — Driver turnaround at the pickup counter appears to be the bottleneck.
Sunday-brunch polarity softer — single Saturday-overrun from last weekend is bleeding into the streak.
Two neutral reviews in two weeks on host attention — staffing delta Saturday afternoons.
Several positive “server flagged it herself” mentions — staff catching slips is a fan-mail lane worth promoting.
Cumulative wait span crossed 975 minutes across Saturday — three OpenTable parties reported walking out. Hosting triage was understaffed by one; the kitchen was on-pace. Promoting our two best servers to hosting the next two weekends to test.
Two pickup-counter reviews flagged a 50-minute wait past the 25-min ETA. Driver pickup is taking longer than the bag-up SLA — adding a dedicated runner wing to the FOH for two weeks to test.
Service-recovery mentions are net +2.4 polarity across 4 reviews this week. Carlos M. on Tuesday flagged a slow service but the comped starter flipped the review to 5★. Worth training the FOH on proactive comp-as-recovery.
Two vegan-tasting-menu mentions this week — Drew F.’s capture is essentially a customer film. Worth scheduling a day-part social post that promotes the dietary accommodation on Sundays.
Sunday brunch polarity dropped to +0.58 on the trailing 4 weeks. Pulling the data shows a Saturday-night overrun is bleeding into Sunday brunch (line cooks not reset). Plan: a Sunday reset block on the FOH schedule.
Wine-pairing dinner captured three Instagram mentions this week. Best performer our social team has had in a month. Considering a once-a-month smaller-pairing event to drive this theme on purpose.
