What People Are Saying About Savoy

The Scene
Nothing unique from the outside, inside this Italian restaurant charms with modern yet rustic decor. Walls are painted in mustard and green and accentuated with copper touches and wrought iron fixtures. Crowds fill the narrow dining area, creating a noise level that can be difficult to talk over. Service is friendly and well paced.

The Food
The menu puts a heavy emphasis on seafood and high-quality seasonal ingredients. Starters are a hit: Plump mussels are served in white wine with a light garlic flavor, and tiger shrimp spring rolls come with a maple soy dipping sauce. Entrees range from seafood specialties like lobster stew to pasta favorites including penne in vodka cream sauce with caramelized onions, pancetta and roasted red peppers. Desserts shine as bright as appetizers, including a not-overly-sweet creme brulee and selection of signature dessert drinks.

Savoy is by far one of the most progressive restaurants in Asheville. The filet mignon we had on our anniversary was like no other. The service is truly a cut above, while the atmosphere is cozy and romantic. A delicious choice.

...truly delicious. Every meal we have ever eaten here has surpassed our expectations in every way. Innovative, decent portion size (not monstrous, not too petite), delicious blendings of flavors and textures. It's a lovely place for a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion. Or, just for the hell of it. Great wine list and service, too.

My husband and I visited Asheville and did the chef's choice menu at Savoy. We got a sashimi appetizer paired with sake, a fish entree with champagne sauce and caviar paired with wine, and a steak entree with port reduction. It was fabulous. This became our favorite restaurant, and the service is awesome too.

The Details on Savoy

Where to Sit:

Ask for a table near the window in the enclosed veranda where the noise level is lower.

Look Good:

See a dessert come by that looks good? Ask your server what it is. Desserts aren't always on the menu and servers don't always inform you about them.
