We had a group of 24 so we made reservations ahead of time. They could only accompany our group with outdoor seating but it worked out perfectly, despite the threat of rain. The menu had an assortment of creative dishes. Would totally recommend getting familiar with it before going if you are accustom to traditional meals. This one could throw you if your looking for that kind of meal. The drink menu and the food were good but we wouldn't say outstanding or memorable. The servers were friendly and we never felt rushed or neglected (as sometimes can be the case with having a larger gathering and being seated outside for dining). Thanks for the memories!

It was amazing luck that we just stumbled upon this location tonight and it definitely was a memorable experience. From walking in, the hostess was delightful and very sweet - got us a spot at the bar immediately despite them being very busy. Decor was very unique and full of character. The bartender was very attentive and efficient; the drinks also did not disappoint (with donation to the LGBTQ community as an option too!). Everything on the menu looked great and the head chef's creations were unbelievable! All very innovative and inviting. Needless to say, our dinner was already a wonderful experience but then we met the charming and gregarious owner, Charlie. He is an absolute gem and is a great conversationalist - his company was the perfect addition to what was already one of our best dinners we can remember having. If you're in Asheville, do yourself a favor and visit Sovereign Remedies!

All the 5 star things- excellent food, excellent service (Mitchell the bartender and his co bartenders were awesome!) and excellent food. We had salmon dip to start, warm salad, meatloaf and the trout for entrees and all 3 desserts. Our first time there and we will definitely be back next time I’m in Asheville!

In addition to the good reviews online, Sovereign came highly recommended by several friends for our first trip to Asheville. It was fine, not great, not awful, just not memorable.
Our waiter was ok, not very engaging, functional, again fine.
The cocktails were good, for the menu the charcuterie board was decent, no better or no worse than other restaurants, the fried green tomatoes were cut way to thin and were mostly greasy, shrimp rolls not very flavorful, the grilled peaches were good.
Maybe for a cocktail but would not return for dinner.

I chose this restaurant based on rave reviews in guidebooks and the NYT, but sadly, I think they are a first and foremost a bar trying to be a restaurant. Service was a little clunky but we understood everyone is trying to get back post Covid. Our cocktails were well made but pricey. I had the fried green tomato appetizer which I enjoyed. My husband’s salad was just pedestrian. We both had the ribs which were dry- and a disappointment. We think they were leftover from the previous night and reheated…and they came with an odd raita salad that seemed a bit misplaced. None of the desserts tempted us. Having done a Asheville food tour the previous day, there were places we felt provided a better dining experience.

Similar to what other reviewers noted, this place came highly recommended by locals, but it didn't really "wow" us. The food was very good, especially the cornbread, the grilled peaches, and the fish. The vegan berry crumble and the "poptart" desserts were also innovative and delicious. Oddly, though, there was no coffee or tea available with dessert, and the wine selections were mostly meh. The service was excellent. The interior decor is interesting, but the space design of the tables was inconsistent. It is a solid choice for a good meal in Asheville, but "fine" is probably the best way to describe it overall.

A fantastic seasonal menu. The brussel sprouts in a pumpkin sauce for the fall menu was delicious. The chicken pot pie, with a contemporary spin was perfectly paired with a California chardonnay. A highly recommended stop when in Ashville.

My husband and I stopped in for a drink on a Friday night in January. We love the atmosphere, with its coziness, dim lighting, and amazing wall of liquors as a backdrop. Our bartender, Nick, couldn’t be nicer or friendlier. We had one of their ginger craft cocktails, and several glasses of red wine. We also tried one of their small plates, pasta with a date filling and a scrumptious sauce. We will definitely be back and will recommend this cute and interesting bar to our friends

My husband and I stopped by for an early dinner/drink on our anniversary after hearing about how great the cocktails were from a local server. We were blown away...this was one of our favorite meals. The atmosphere is cool and vintage. It is very small and first come first serve, but we got lucky and snagged a table looking out the window. We each sampled a couple of cocktails with the #27 being the favorite. I’ll be honest-I wasn’t blown away by the descriptions and menu offerings when perusing the food selection but decided to try the pate and vegetable/hummus plate...everything was so freaking delicious and beautiful! We also ordered the fried green tomato sandwich at the recommendation of the GM-so many good flavors...just WOW! We could not have been happier, well done Sovereign Remedies-you went out of your way to make our night special.

While in town for business, several of us stopped in here for cocktails. Warren was excellent, he knew interesting cocktails which weren’t part of their menu, which was really appreciated. So, while they didn’t have Chartreuse, they did have maraschino liqueur to make Hemingway Daquiris!
The vibe is fun and definitely that of a craft cocktail bar. I’d highly recommend stopping in, especially if in the mood for a nicely made craft cocktail!

We went with 9 folks for dinner on a Friday Night. Reservations are a very good idea. Our group has very diverse ideas about food but everyone found several things they could (or would) eat. It was excellent all around. Good wine, craft cocktails, discrete service. Not cheap, it well worth it.

We came here for a late-night dinner. The atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant is great. There is lots of unique seating options. We had appetizers at another restaurant - so we stuck with dinner (steak). The food was delicious. The drinks were tasty and would recommend trying a few of the options they have as I had a variety and enjoyed them all.

My husband and I celebrated Valentines Day here and it was delicious! We made reservations and were seated in the north room. Service was great and not fussy- felt very European. We enjoyed the Chickpea Fries, Bone Marrow Tots, Beef Tartar and Roasted Sunchokes. It was all delicious. The seasoning was perfect and the flavor combinations spot on. All but one dish could be GF modified! Loved it!

The weed salad is strangely amazing. I’m not sure what they do, but it’s SO good! The grilled cheese with Brie and tomatoes and some sort of tomato pepper jam was heavenly. I’ve had about 6 dishes here and all of them were so darn good!

My husband and I happened to walk by this restaurant on our way back to our hotel. The bar looked so inviting from outside. They were closed so we called and asked if we could make a reservation to sit at the bar. The manager said they usually don’t do that but would make an exception. When we returned a few hours later, we had a place reserved at the bar. We were greeted by the the manager and a bartender immediately. From that moment on the experience got even better! The food (oh my, just wonderful), the service, the drinks—even our bar neighbors—made this visit very memorable! Highly recommend the chicken soup and the cornbread. YUM!
