"Ahh what can I say. Been coming here for a few years and they never disappoint! Their vanilla plant based ice cream sandwich is to die for ‍! I have literally been driving here an hour from Morganton just for that specific reason a few times lol. They have other plant based options now that I have yet to try but definitely will next time I come around!!"

"excellent restaurant with a sophisticated menu and also impressive food preparation. must contain order items elch, venison, and bison. trüffelfries were great. the salates were fresh, but small cut. only the complaining charges double typical prices on my fav scotch. in the did are bar prices very high. that was our sixth visit. it is always impressive, but only special occasions."

"10/1/2023 stopped here for dinner. Farm to table type restaurant and it was definitely the Asheville vibe! Our service was phenomenal! We ordered the hominy appetizer, collard salad which was interestingly delicious. For the main dishes we had the pork chop and the trout. The collard salad was interesting because I could never imagine using collards as salad but it was delicious, minus the stems! Don’t eat the stems they are bitter. The crispy hominy appetizer was unique and delicious. The pork chop was very good! It was tender and perfectly seasoned. It came with two charred peppers (needed more charring) and cider braised cabbage (not that good), purée of potatoe and some peacans. The trout was my favorite. I had two pieces on my plate but I wish it was the whole fish! The pieces were too small but made for a light meal on my drive back home. On the menu they show the farms they get their food from. We did not get any dessert, I has a mcflurry on the way up. I would recommend this place but be open minded to the different flavors and textures of the food! My total bill was $100 and some change. The bill seemed appropriate for the farm to table food you’re getting. Vegetarian options: Salads and they had specific dish for vegetarians called the Purple Tiara rice middlins. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access to the outdoor patio area"

"we had a delicious dinner there. we sat on the table surrounded by glass in the front so that they see the walking and the people to foot we enjoyed. eating is phenomenal. I had the winter citrus salad, which was probably the best kale salate I ever had. I also had the wintersquash ravioli. as vegetarian I could find a series of tasty options. we had a problem with one of our meal times that they treated brilliantly. it was not a big thing, and we were satisfied with their development. not every meal can be perfect, and we understand that. So if a restaurant treats a problem properly, it makes it so much more beautiful. I also recommend the go of beer filled with taste. overall it is a pleasantly quiet environment, fast service and fantastic food. if they're in the asheville area, I highly recommend that they give chestnut a try."

"There are probably a plethora of vegetarian choices in Asheville and normally as a mixed couple (I'm vegetarian, my husband a meat eater) we seek out places to suit both of our food choices. However, my husband wanted to try a purely vegetarian meal and I thought the menu and options at Laughing Seed were fantastic! We shared an appetizer cheese and fauxcuterie plate. It was very creative! The pickled celery and mushrooms were delicious! The cheeses were fantastic. Both my husband and I thought the faux pepperoni was a fail for us but it had more to do with the texture the taste was remarkably pepperoni like. I had a small Laughing Seed Salad which was a very generous size for a small. I added avocado and feta and again, I was impressed with the amount that they gave me. My husband tried the Harmony Bowl with grilled tempeh. Again it was very generous size and his first experience with tempeh. I tasted it and thought it was delicious. I don't think he'll become vegetarian any time soon but he enjoyed his vegetarian meal at Laughing Seed. Oh and I also had their Chianti Classico I don't often see a good chianti on your average wine list and this glass of wine was remarkable. I really enjoyed it."
