"’Product is the key; it starts with the food', said Chef Sparacino...I respect this philosophy because some restaurants wow you with almost anything other than their food. Good restaurants focus on their food first - that's what I enjoyed about this place...big flavors come with nice portions...my meal was from scratch; the presentation alone was great, as well as the flavor combination...interesting and flavorful dishes come out of the kitchen." Scott Adams, Food Critic Asheville-Citizen Times
