   Great experience at Benne on Eagle. The Fire and Desire cocktail by Brandon is one of the best drinks in town!

   I took my husband here for his birthday as we had been eyeing the place for a while, but it was disappointing. I made a seating request with my reservation and even specified that I’d be willing to change the time of my reservation if that would make it easier. Unfortunately they didn’t honor the request or even give us options. The food was so bland, I was convinced they’d made a mistake. I had the catfish and it was not seasoned at all. The kale salad and fried green tomatoes were okay, but nothing super special. At least our server (Hunter) was great and accommodating, and it is a beautiful restaurant if you’re mostly concerned with ambiance. The drink selection is also good if you’re just planning on having drinks. The quality of food does not justify the expensive prices at all, and we do not plan on going back.

   The food and service at Benne on Eagle are outstanding. The cultural significance of both the setting and the food are also important draws, given the African American history of the neighborhood.

   Part of the meal was cold. Disappointed with the overall meals. Two people had the same meal and both had the same disappointment. The third meal lack favor. Our waitress was great snd very personable.

   Went about a year ago and was blown away. Went tonight and was there for over two hrs. Long waits for everything. We missed an hr of a show for food that wasn’t great. Took me 15 minutes to get a beer.

    We were greeted by a very kind and enthusiastic host named Keith. He was very informative, welcoming, and super charismatic. We knew we were going to have a great time as soon as we met him. Our amazing waitress, Alexis, guided us through the menu, which was fairly priced in today's market. Brandon, the bartender, got us started with some incredible mocktails, which was probably the most vibrant thing we had all night. The drink was called Sittin' on top of the Block, which he created himself. The colors, the flavors, the look, it was a whole vibe. We'd come back just to try another one of Brandon's creations. He really owned his craft and I loved listening to his story of how he masterminded this drink! We ordered the fried green tomatoes served with pimento cheese as an appetizer. The tomatoes were fried perfectly. The pimento cheese could have used a slight kick in the mixture but overall it was well executed. For the entrees we had the duck breast with Brussels sprouts and sweet potato puree. The plating was beautiful and and flavors played nicely with each other. The other dish was the steak with pepper compote, pearl onions and fingerling potatoes. The steak was a perfect medium rare but the sear could have used a bit more salt on the crust. With the sweet pearl onions and al dente fingerling potatoes a little bit of salt would have gone a long way. Dessert was an Apple Cobbler. It was good. The crumble on top was sweet and crispy and the apples were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Although the food was decent there was nothing that really screamed upscale soul food or African American cuisine. What was disheartening was reading several articles about preserving the black contribution to the food in the area but not seeing a black chef in sight... Not even a line cook. What really made our experience noteworthy was the staff really making us feel like family.

    We had a collection of small plates. The fried green tomatoes and pork belly were both amazing. The kale salad, with hints of jalapeño was unexpectedly good. My old fashion was tasty and well made with an ample amount instead of the “small serving you get at most restaurants. I will eat here again!

    The food was a creative mix of flavors, nicely balanced, beautifully presented, and all the dishes we tried were delicious. My only negative would be the cocktails. The one we tried sounded delicious, but the lemon citrus overpowered the drink.

    We ordered salmon cake appetizer, cauliflower , brussel sprouts and a salad with 2 drinks to split with 3 people. Our bill was $100 and with a $20 tip that was a bit pricey. We came home and had desert since we were still hungry. The salmon patties were very good but really, $17 dollar drinks. Even though it was good I don’t think I will go back

    We came by for a late lunch at 1:30 PM on a Monday. There were not many people in the restaurant, and it was very quiet. The menu is limited for lunch with only two small plates and three sandwiches listed. My chicken sandwich was very good and I had a nice beer with it.

    Had dinner before a concert and we were from out of town. It was lovely food and people were nice. Took a really long time though. Maybe short staffed? I would definitely go again but would give myself 3 hours to chill and take my time enjoying the place. We were there two hours and kind had to hurry along at the end so we could leave.

    Benne on Eagle certainly has changed from the days when it debuted with a combination Low Country-Appalachian menu by Beard Nominee John Fleer and also from the time when it changed to a more Afrocentric menu. Now Benne has only has a handful of main dishes -- duck breast, strip steak, lamb meatballs, pork chop, catfish -- and they are a little hard to classify, though the restaurant is often categorized as modern soulfood. I believe last night when we were there the menu had a total of only about a dozen items, including salads, appetizers and maybe half a dozen entrees. Service was very efficient and fast, and the ambiance is enjoyable. However, the fried catfish entree ($32) didn't even remotely compare to the incredible fried catfish we loved during the restaurant's early days. That was the best catfish I ever ate, bar none. Not seeing anything that particularly appealed to me this time, I just had the fried green tomatoes starter ($17) as my entree. I don't quite get what the chef and other management have in mind for the restaurant -- is it a hotel restaurant? If so the limited menu may be a disadvantage to hotel guests. Or is it trying to be a cool Asheville restaurant in competition with places nearby like Limones, Chestnut and Cúrate? If so, entrees like Smothered Pork Chop ($38) and Steak with Peppers ($35) aren't going to attract the hip foodie crowd. As of today, for example, I see it's ranked only #176 out around 700 Asheville restaurants on TripAdvisor and averages four stars on Yelp.

    The menu had about 7 offerings, and they did not have 2 of the menu items. One of the items was fried green tomatoes. They did not have it and the explanation, which came from a team member that had on street clothes and was not easily identified as a staff person, was that the green tomatoes were not in season! My husband had a chicken sandwich which came with fries but was served with chips instead - with no explanation. There were bags of onions and other food items on the bar which looked very unprofessional. We had 2 coffees with Bailey's, $15 each, a chicken sandwich with no fires for $19 and a soup and grilled cheese for $13. I was unhappy with it all - even the cold coffee. I feel like we wasted $70.

    First time in Asheville and I have been doing so much traveling I really didn't want to leave the hotel [the Foundry=BEAUTIFUL] until our ticket time at The Biltmore. The roasted broccolini with bacon fat Caesar dressing [included crawdads and cornbread breadcrumbs] Delicious!!! Husband got the steak and peppers...steak cooked perfectly! so flavorful I got the lamb ricotta meatballs over lentils with pickled okra and red onions...Oh my...so good, I need to learn how to make lentils now...I will say it maybe need a bit more red onions [I could have done without the okra, but thats just because I'm not the biggest fan, but can appreciate when they are done right] Only compliant about the food was the cornbread in the beginning, cornbread was very good, but the butter was stone cold and un-spreadable, destroyed my cornbread, maybe a whipped honey butter is in the cards?? Please?? Also our server Alexis was fantastic! Very nice and welcoming and very fun and attentive! Overall, very impressed by this hotel restaurant!

    It was a blessing to have somewhere to dine on Christmas Day. And the staff were absolutely wonderful. Although I'm sure they would like to have been home with their families. Friendly, gracious, and funny. The had run out of chicken which reduced the menu. Hence my not giving them 5 stars. Oh, and the best blood Marys in Asheville.
