Thank you Woody and family...for so many wonderful achievements...From the very beginning, your decision to undertake the management of Isis when you couldn't find anyone willing to do it, for sharing with Asheville what you've achieved over the decade, for the level of outstanding musicians...you've engaged, for the quality of food that has remained consistent from day one, for a welcoming staff so critical in a venue like Isis...for the dedication to maintaining the standard of excellence and attention to detail that is so hard to do (especially given the challenges) along the way). Enjoy a well deserved (delayed)retirement. Your hope to find a successor is admirable. Good luck in the search. As has always been the case, the food and service was excellent and the show was over the top.More

We love going here-- getting a table with friends- having a really good meal- and then being right up-front near the musicians for really outstanding shows. We have been so lucky to have this renovated theater rejuvinated as an entertainment venue. We were there for...its start - and are sad to see the present management close after December FOR A WELL DESERVED 2ND RETIREMENT. . The sound system is the very best- the work that Scott Woody has done is amazing. It's been one of the best things - in Asheville area . I hope it can continue "as is" with new management. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AMAZING THEATER !More

We just purchased a place in black mountain. One of the big draws to living here is Isis Music Hall. There aren’t many places that you can sit and have a fantastic meal and then listen to great music after. This is a unique music...experience and drew us to want to live near Isis. We try to see a show every month. There’s so many favorites. Queen Bee is a must see. We’ve gotten to hear some great musicians there. I highly recommend itMore

We've just discovered this gem and had plans to return for many of the wonderful music shows. We loved being able to share a seated meal while waiting for the band to perform. Everyone has been so kind to us and your family has definitely...brought a wonderful eclectic mix of music to the mountains. We'll miss you! Our Best to You! Tom and Alice LanceMore

Dear Scott and the IMH Family, Mark and I appreciate all of you so very much. It's with great joy in our hearts that we say to you, "We're excited for you to now have the time to love and enjoy your family!" Running a...business with as many intricate layers as Isis Music Hall & Kitchen most certainly requires family to come second, often times even further down the chain of daily responsibilities. Your kindness to us during COVID by featuring Marks band The Travelling Pilsbury's not just once, but two times in 2021, helped us get to this side of the pandemic with the guitar bar still in tact. Your family's sense of community and love of music has been a beacon of light and positivity when we've gone through rough times of our own. Please know our hearts are with you and we hope to see you walk in our doors someday soon, so that we may extend our gifts of music and community to you. All our best Julia & Mark Goldthwaite, Asheville Guitar BarMore

We're new to Asheville and we were driving around one day and I saw this theater and originally thought it was a movie theater LOL. When I got home I looked it up and I saw that it was a musical venue and I was...very excited. Also it's a dinner venue as well so you can go there and listen to music and get a little bite to eat. All good. Everyone from beginning to end was super nice and accommodating. The phone call to make the reservation was great, the host who sat us was super nice, our server was fantastic and the food was very good. The music was also great but you may not get that every time depending on who's there but I'm going to guess that everyone that they allow in is super talented. We will definitely be going back. The only caveat to the whole thing is that we like to have a drink and a glass of wine when we go out and I found that the wine selection wasn't large and it was expensive with not much by the glass. I ended up ordering a half of a bottle and it really wasn't very good so I was disappointed. That was the only downer of the entire night. Everything else was amazing. I would definitely recommend this venue and we definitely will be going back.More

Went in to have a drink at the bar ( outside the music hall). Was told that we would have to pay $34 per person to sit at the bar even though there was 20 minutes left in the concert at the music hall nearby.)...Host must have been having a bad night, rude dude. There’s plenty of other choices in Asheville. Went to Jack of the Wood and had a great time. Asheville rocks.More

We stopped at Isa's Bistro for lunch on the 10th of May. We were seated quickly. The waitress introduced herself and mentioned the "specials" for that day. The wife and I both ordered the special "Cordon Bleu Chicken Sandwich. The sandwich's were very good. The...sandwich had crispy fried chicken with ham and cheese. Along with the sandwich were the normal fries. Everything was enjoyable and the waitress did a nice job. I drank a glass of water while the wife had iced tea! Total without gratuity was $30.76!More

Wonderful food/drink and live bluegrass music. Kind of a last minute attempt to see live bluegrass music in Asheville. Really glad we did! Grade school age kids loved it and so did the adults! Food was delicious, chicken fricassee, meatloaf, hush puppies, fingerling potatoes with...sauce. Beer and wine also very nice. Service was very good and we got to listen to fantastic live music while dining, really unique and memorable experience for our family. Highly recommend it!More

Last night I went to Isis and had one of the best dinner and live music experiences I have ever had. From the staff to the music to the food it is consistently a great place to go. I have been there multiple times over...the years and I can count on a great experience every time. I've actually gone to Isis before with having little to no knowledge of the musicians taking the stage and really enjoyed the music that I saw. If I could rate Isis higher than 5 stars, then I would. Well done!More

Isis is such a fantastic place to see live music, whether indoors or out! The outdoors is lovely and landscaped, with every table having a clear view of the stage. Sitting indoors, the venue is spacious with warehouse type, very high ceilings. All of the...staff that I've encountered has been friendly and accommodating. They've had to make adjustments because of Covid, and I believe are only open 3 days a week at this point, which explains why if you are ordering wine, they sell it only by the bottle, but of course you can take it home with you, as well as having a limited menu. They have had to make adjustments in order to stay in business, like so many.More
