Excellent food. Very fresh. Best oysters these two Floridian’s have ever had. Jess was our server and she was knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. Deserved every penny. Ambiance and atmosphere were great: cozy and intimate. 5/5 you won’t regret it.

Visiting Asheville with friends for a few days and we were able to get a reservation for dinner after a long day touring the Biltmore Estate. Our server, Amanda, was great. She gave us great recommendations, was very attentive and delightful. I would definitely recommend...Jettie Rae’s to friends visiting and have them ask to be seated at her table. One of the best wait staff I’ve had in a long time,More

We were lucky to get a reservation on Thanksgiving week for a special night out. The menu has so many unique seafood offerings that it's difficult to choose; we decided on the Spanish octopus and the Outer Bank scallops, beginning with some oysters. The oysters...were plump, fresh, and delicious, and were presented perfectly. Our meals were spectacular, and everything was delicious, with special flavors abounding. Our server, Ed, was knowledgeable and pleasant and always paused to chat a bit. We shared a piece of key lime pie for dessert and it was outstanding, some of the best we've ever had. Overall it was our favorite restaurant experience in a long time. The restaurant is not too large or noisy, even though it was almost full. Parking can be a chore. The lot is a dead end, making it difficult to turn around (at least it was for me, at night in the rain) if the lot is full. We were allowed to park directly across the street in the bank parking lot, which was very convenient. I would call before going to double check on this. There is clearly a good reason(s) that Jettie Rae's has won so many awards!More
