   The original owners sold Glass Onion 2 months ago. This was our first time since the new management and new chef. Ambiance remains the same; service was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Some menu items were the same idea but different recipes, ie., the coconut cake was more dense and less moist. Some items were new. We preferred the previous chef/recipes as more flavorful and better balanced eg., we thought the cannelloni was very salty and we noticed the woman at the table next to us ate less than half of hers so perhaps she agreed. I hope this is still a shake down period for the new management as this was one of our favorites and we visited every time we came to our vacation home in the Asheville area. Our most recent experience was fine but not the 5 star experience to which we were accustomed.

   Locals from Fairview and our first time at the glass onion. Met some wonderful cousins from out of town. Started with the pear and beet salad, which was delicious. Then of course we had to share an order of the wonderful fries. I had the trout and substituted kale for the side dishes. They also made a gluten-free for me. My husband had a ribeye which he says was one of the best he’s ever had. My cousins had the ravioli in the same and they loved it. The place is small and loud and I think we might’ve been the loudest of all. Interesting artwork on the walls and a real fast pace place. Will definitely be back.

   Lively crowd, lovely ambiance. Food very good. Always a nice experience! They need to do something about the garish harsh white lights over the bar, however. Kinda spoils the mood. Other than that it’s a great restaurant!

   We asked to be moved because the table next to us had a woman who was so loud it was impossible to think or hear anyone else. We moved and were seated next to a very nice woman but she had drenched herself in perfume. We have enjoyed Glass Onion for many many years. Always a favorite. Sadly the customers’ etiquette has fallen to a new low.

   After hearing of the restaurant’s sale, we were excited to go and support the new owners. We weren’t disappointed. The few changes were nice and the staff either the usual excellent waitstaff and a new person who is also excellent. The menu is very similar with a few tweaks and some new plates. Delicious. We’re thrilled as we love The Glass Onion. It’s still a fave!

   We decided to enjoy Easter lunch out at a restaurant to celebrate our first Easter in Asheville. That was the easy part, deciding where to go was tougher! We decided on The Glass Onion and we were so glad we did. We were warmly welcomed as we entered the restaurant and seated promptly. Our server was very attentive from the beginning of our meal to the last bite of our delicious desserts. The food was outstanding, the fresh bread served soon after we were seated … no words!! Do yourself a favor and make a reservation, you’ll be glad you did.

    We sat at the bar, and Denise, our server and the bartender, could not have been better. Food was amazing once again. Atmosphere great ! Service- wonderful! A 10 ! Can’t wait to return!
