We started off with the tuna tartar, then ordered the NC Catfish and Seared Duck breast. All the dishes were delicious. The creamed corn with the catfish was amazing. If I was local I’d come back for the the catfish for sure. We’re only used to eating duck roasted Chinese style so the blueberry was a pleasant surprise. The vibe of the restaurant was calm, liked the Edison bulbs and photography on the walls. The server was very attentive without being intrusive.

We were blown away by our experience at Avenue M. The staff were incredibly friendly and made a huge fuss of our dog. The menu was unusual and our choices turned out to be delicious. The wine they recommended was one we hadn’t tasted before and it didn’t disappoint. All the deserts are home made so it was a difficult choice. We finally settled on the Nutella mousse with morello cherries. It was literally scrumptious! We will be dining there again for sure. It was the best meal we had in Asheville this trip. It

I booked the private room for my mother’s birthday party and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish! Tony made sure the details were right before I arrived and offered 2 different dinner options for the event. Rachel and Beth went above and beyond taking care of all the guests and helping me decorate the space before everyone arrived. They wanted to make the event special as much as I did! The chef came out to greet the guests and told us about a new drink they made. All of the guests had a great time and I would recommend Avenue M for any special event or even just for dinner and drinks. The food was delicious! Thank you to everyone who took care of us!!

The Beet Salad featured goat cheese and spicy pecans, with the titular tubers prepared three ways: roasted, pickled and raw.

From Dining in to Take Out the food is always delicious and creative. The pasta is so delectable and fresh, and the charcuterie is made in-house and is some of the best you will have in the area. One of my favorite places to visit.

This place is much bigger inside than you’d expect and is perfectly spacious which I love. Definitely excited to have this place nearby- we got some drinks, olives, and each got a farro salad, and everything exceeded expectations! Hopeful to see more or rotating vegan items; would love to come back more often. Shout out to a good old fashioned too

My daughter and I visited Avenue M for the first time last night. The service was amazing! Tony and Jesse made the experience wonderful. We started with the Brussel Sprouts which had just enough spice kick to wake up my taste buds. I had the tortellini and my daughter had a double cheeseburger; both were amazing, the beef on her burger was tender, lean and perfectly cooked. It was a messy burger- “the best kind” she stated.

I love Curate. I love Ukiah. Now, there’s Avenue M. This place has joined my pantheon of the best places to eat in Asheville.

Excellent food and New York Strip was phenomenal. Only issue is we arrived 1hr and half early for our reservation and was content at waiting at the bar and had several drinks. I asked the hostess that if a table opened up we would like to be seated early and if we could eat at the bar which we were sitting at. By the time we got seated the restuarant looked like the picture I attached. 4 start even with the disappointment we couldn’t have been worked in early.
