Edison, Craft Ales Kitchen - Asheville

Edison, with its incredible views, contemporary style, and cozy fireplace, is visually stunning. Service is consistently top notch. My kale salad was both gorgeous and tasty, I must admit, even though I can 't stand kale. Meatless choices tend to be limited here, so I really appreciate the addition of a vegan/vegetarian bratwurst, adorned with wonderful goodies and served on a pretzel bun. While I get the idea of a pretzel bun for the brat, it was very heavy without adding significant flavor, dulling the goodness of the other components and diminishing the success of the dish. The fries, though, were fantastic. The good 'ol GPI is, sadly, not what it used to be. The new owner, money grubbing corporate behemoth Omni, has banished the community from the spa. And they treat us like garbage when we attempt to view the gingerbread houses at Christmastime trying to get onto the property during the event, you may be told we are full, try back later, even though inside sources subsequently debunk that false narrative. And if you 're somehow able to get in, you 'll find jacked up parking fees during the holidays a strident, ugly example of opportunistic price gouging at its worst.

A fantastic dinner with a beautiful view! The S'mores Old Fashioned was INCREDIBLE, so fun and unique! The Ploughman's Board had an impressive variety of bites and the Deviled Eggs were some of the best I've ever had. Service was very attentive and efficient. I would absolutely recommend Edison to anyone looking for a delicious and picturesque meal!

Beautiful outdoor dining w/ a view. Tasty burgers Service was great, came during lunch so it was not too busy.

We are here for dinner last night as we wanted to experience the Grove Park Inn. We had an amazing waiter, John, who both made recommendations, offered suggestions and was never wrong! We split some appetizers, including some local oysters on the half shell I'll be talking about for some time... all in all, the food, drinks and views were out of this world. So thankful we tried this historic spot we are so glad we did!

Service was fantastic, Lindsey was our waitress and she was very friendly and helpful. We sat outside to catch the sunset but honestly we were blinded by the sun and it was super hot so it was hard to really enjoy the experience. While the view is spectacular, you do not need to eat on the patio to enjoy it. I would recommend doing this if both the sun and temps were just right. The food is on par with a resort pricing however the food really wasn't outstanding, but it was good. I really enjoyed the pretzel appetizer and the pimento cheese was also good. I also had the fried green tomatoes, just a bit under seasons in my option but better when I threw in some of the pimento cheese. The resort is beautiful and you can walk around and take in the history and the views.
