There's no shortage of great places to eat and drink in Asheville, and this is one of the better ones in my view. This is one of those trendy places, attracting a young Asheville crowd, but unlike many, the food is actually quite good. The atmosphere is an odd mix of old and new, but you get that a lot... More

I had eaten here for Sunday brunch and thought it very nice only to be confirmed this evening. Very nice martinis. Very pleasant service despite two infants ( but we did arrive early each visit before they get really busy) . The fish tacos last visit were a little spicey for me but very tastey with borrowed yoghurt. Tonight the... More

Really enjoyed the friendly management and the good food. Very open and spacious older building that has been retro fitted to a restaurant and bar. Central location to meet up with friends. Love the outdoor area so I hope spring comes in soon.

I loved this bar/restaurant when it was Usual Suspects so I was happy to discover that my favorite item was still on the menu. The steak and goat cheese salad is delicious! A nice restaurant to go with a date or friends.

This place has an out going staff with average food and prices. The outside dining is pleasant but noisy due to traffic while inside it is enjoyable either in the resturant or at the bar. Beer selection is good, wines are boring and by the glass limited, with drink specials every night. Place gets a lot of N Asheville regulars... More

I'm so glad I live close to Avenue M so I can easily be a regular. Everything I have had there, both for dinner and for Sunday brunch, has been yummy. The scallops are killer. They are available almost daily as either a starter or main course. I love them with eggs and grits for Sunday Brunch. They have a... More

Menu is varied but not too long with a dinner special each day, wine list and local beer choices are excellent. Service is top notch. A must visit.

My Husband and I traveled to Asheville for our 1st Wedding Anniversary and stayed in a condo just down the road from Ave M. If not for the proximity of our condo, we would never have stumbled upon this place. We were absolutely blown away by everything they had to offer. The ambiance is super nice, we were greeted by...
