Current CrushMy wonderful boyfriend. Who else? :)
Date
I went here with my boyfriend for our anniversary dinner. We went around 6pm on a Wednesday night, and it was relatively quiet but the atmosphere was very nice.
My boyfriend loved his Fazzoletti with Asparagus Pesto and Pecorino, and I had the crispy chicken secondi that was also very good. The portion sizes suited us very well. We had the strawberry sorbet for dessert, which wasn't as good.
Service was great and timely. Would definitely come back for a semi-fancy dinner for special occasions.

Trio Cafe & Lounge

I went there with my parents for dinner. Restaurant has very nice atmosphere with a modern look and features paintings from a local artist. I didn't think the paintings suited the look very well, but the dim-ish lighting was nice.
Appetizers: We ordered the shrimp, clam chowder, and baby spinach & strawberries salad. They were all excellent. The salad and clam chowder were especially delicious.
Entrees: We ordered scallops, pistachio chicken, and fruitti(?) d mar (various seafood). Portion sizes were huge! My chicken came with 2 large breasts and I loved the pesto sauce it came with. Parents liked their seafood dishes, too.
Service: A bit slow on service. Our entree orders were taken after we finished our appetizers, so there was a bit of a waiting time. Also, they cleared away both of my forks and forgot to bring me a new one so I had to ask for it. Other than that, good, friendly, timely service.
I would definitely go back for a semi-fancy dinner. Menu items offer a lot of other things I'd like to try

I ate here with my boyfriend and his mom, and we had a great time with really really good pizza. It was a busy evening and there was a 50-minute wait, but it was well worth it. We ordered the Cosmic Karma (pesto, spinach, tomatoes) and a Hawaiian. They put parmesan cheese on the crust which makes it really good. If you're all about the food, you'd like this place.
Went there on New Year's Eve with bf and friend. There was a short wait and we ordered breadsticks with a tropical (Hawaiian) pizza and the chicken pesto. Waitress forgot to write down the breadstick order and when we asked about it 35 minutes later, she apologized and gave them to us for free. The pizza was really good especially with their sweet and spicy seasoning and parmesan cheese. I've been here on a date before and would definitely come back for really good pizza.

Ed Boudreaux's Bayou Bar-B-Que
Category: Barbeque
I came here for lunch with my boyfriend and his mom after choosing this place over the pizzeria next door. I liked the "seat yourself" policy, and the waiter was really nice and welcoming. The restaurant wasn't busy around 1pm.
I ordered a pink lemonade with the chicken and avocado po'boy with cheese fries on the side. My boyfriend got the turkey bacon po'boy with red beans and rice and his mom got the beef brisket with collard greens and mac & cheese.
We all tried the turkey bacon po'boy and loved it. Cheese fries were delicious. Bf's mom loved her brisket. Mac & cheese was good. I wasn't too fond of the collard greens because they had a kind of vinegary taste. Bf's red beans and rice was good too. I didn't get to try my chicken and avocado po'boy yet since I split it with my boyfriend and I was full after half of his turkey bacon po'boy.
They did indeed have about 15 kinds of bbq sauce and I tried and liked the sweet one.
Everything was delicious and the service was really good, and that's why I'm giving Ed's BBQ a 5* rating. Would definitely recommend and come back if I visit Asheville again.

Went here with a friend who suggested it for its frozen yogurt. I ended up having a twisted soft-serve because there weren't that many flavors for frozen yogurt. Their kiddie size is pretty big, so it's a really good value. I'd definitely go back and try some of their other flavors.
I went there spontaneously with a group of friends (~8 of us) on a Sunday night and had a blast. The waiter was funny, and the food was great (even though I don't remember what I had...probably something with chicken in it). I would definitely recommend going here as a group and hope to come back again in the future.

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
Category: Restaurants
I love Italian food and was expecting to love Olive Garden, but on the 2 occasions that I went there, once with my ex-boyfriend and once with my parents, the food has been pretty salty. I can't say that I would go back, and I'm not sure if it's just this Olive Garden or just my experiences, but while the Italian food is good and atmosphere is great, both times they've been too salty. If you go, I'd suggest you tell them to cut down the salt, then add more if it's not enough for you.
I went there with 2 friends on a whim while strolling through Faneuil Hall and the name caught my attention. When we went inside, I remember that I really liked the atmosphere and the way the place looked - very modern and clean.
I ordered a melon fruit juice (apple, orange, watermelon) and yaki soba. I didn't like the red ginger on the yaki soba, but they weren't hard to pick out. The noodles were delicious, as was the juice -- really fresh. One of my friends ordered chicken ramen and we all split one of the side dishes. They liked those as well.
I really like Wagamama, but I talked to another friend about it and she really didn't like it because it was too salty and too expensive for some noodles. While I guess it does depend on your tastes, I really liked it and would totally go back to try out some of their other dishes.

No Lists
Chloe hasn't made any lists yet.
The bi bim bab was pretty good. It's a salad-like dish with chicken, rice and hot sauce that you mix in separately according to your taste and spice tolerance. The half-raw fried egg threw me off, but since you were supposed to mix it up, it wasn't that bad.
Overall, the food was great and I'd definitely go back to try other dishes. The -1 star is for the lack of friendly service. I feel like I owed the waitress money or something by the way she was treating us. Smiling a bit wouldn't hurt.
