The Asbury

The staff, service, food, ambience, live music 🎶, cocktails 🍸, were all so impeccable! We'll definitely be going back. This week is also 'restaurant week'. You can choose from that menu or regular menu. Some entrée pictures are missing because they smelled so mouthwatering and looked divine! We had to eat those straight away... This restaurant is inside the Dunhill Hotel. You can access the restaurant from Tryon Street address. Wonderful place for dinner and drinks! Street parking available all around the area. We found a spot within 500 ft.

Stopped in to sample the Queen's menu. They were out of items, which can happen. Food was just okay. The hostess was sharing way too much information about the place to other tables. Very off-putting. In fact, one table left before even ordering. The dessert was delicious but that was all.

This restaurant was amazing! They have a theatre menu that changes with each show at the theatre. It did not disappoint. I normally don't finish my meal, but everything was so good I couldn't stop. Julia, our server was so friendly, and helpful. She anticipated our needs and checked on us multiple times. Thank you for showing us West Coast Canadians what southern hospitality is. ❤️

Started in the hotel and had breakfast here. It was a tasty omelet and the service warmed up. Enjoyed a leisurely meal

I’m occasionally a little confused when I arrive to find empty tables because The Asbury is so delicious AND because it’s kind of an oasis in the middle of Uptown. The food is truly delicious (my fiance says their burger is his favorite in all of Charlotte), they validate parking, and it’s not a chain - what could be better?

My friends and I were so excited to try this new brunch spot. Unfortunately it did not work out this way. One of my friends tried to order an iced coffee, and they only served hot coffee at this location. They did make accommodations and serve a cup of warm coffee with a cup of ice on the side and a small side of oatmeal cookie creamer. She did not ask if she wanted any other type of creamer. She just served her this type. One of my friends and I both ordered the eggs Benedict. This was nothing of the swortz. We were served a pile of salmon that looks like it was can. It was extremely unappetizing and left us feeling uneasy and sick in the car. My friends eggs that were supposed to be poached were hard-boiled, and there was no hollandaise sauce included on this dish. The waitress told us that this menu item had been added to the menu just the day before when days before we were checking the menu and we saw it on the menu already. The appearance of the eggs Benedict looked like a pile of mush. Overall, we would never return this location and do not recommend anyone anyone order the eggs Benedict. My other friend got the strawberry pancakes and said that they were pretty good.

My husband and I stopped through for a early breakfast we enjoyed everything. The banana pancakes were my favorite. The Atmosphere was clean and inviting. Only thing I did not like was the breakfast menu had no other meat alternative just pork. Breakfast menu was very LIMITED compared to competition. And our server was very disconnected from us.

Haley was a our Server. She was a pleasant and patient person. The Food was delicious and well seasoned. We celebrated a friend Birthday. Fabulous experience by the Chef, Server, and Valet attendant.

Service by TK was warm and welcoming. She gave excellent suggestions off the menu. The food, oh my goodness it is delicious! This chef starts you with sweet and savory options that should be packaged up as grab and go and will beat the pants off most dessert places in town. The banana walnut bread and biscuits are delicious. I had the omelette it was prepared with local farm eggs and fluffy and flavored perfectly no added salt or pepper needed. My husband had the breakfast special and it was his favorite meal we have had in Charlotte so far. My daughter had the Cajun Benedict and she said she will be back for more. We have stayed at the Dunhill several times and never ate here but we are regretting that now. Prices are more than fair and atmosphere inviting and beautiful decor. Great date place. I'm glad the bartender recommended it the night before we left!

My friend and I were initially hesitant to try this place since it's located inside a hotel, but we ended up having a nice experience. The host and our waitress were incredible, offering great service from start to finish. As for the food, the deviled eggs were just okay--nothing special, and a bit bland. I probably wouldn't order them again. The burger, on the other hand, was great, though it's hard to mess up a burger! Overall, I would definitely return for a quick, easy dinner.

I enjoyed the 3 course price fixe menu for the Lion King show and it was lovely. Highly recommend a reservation since it is a small venue, but I arrived early and was able to be seated. Wednesdays is half off bottles of wine. I enjoyed deviled eggs, salmon and chocolate cake. The service was very good!

Stayed at The Dunhill and had breakfast here, part of the hotel. Excellent. Service wonderful and prompt. Homemade biscuit divine. Grits good. Added on the jalapeno and Gouda potato pancake and glad I did. Just slightly creamy and spicy. Such delicate flavors. A real standout. 16 dollars not including tip. A bit expensive but not for a hotel restaurant on the main street of a fair sized city. Clean. Comfortable chairs. Very hospitable, inviting me to stay as long as I wished even though they were closing for an hour, before reopening for lunch. Great art, good music and a quiet and calming atmosphere. Recommended strongly.

Stumbled on The Asbury when looking for a brunch spot... unfortunately I failed to read their hours for brunch, my fault entirely, but we made it in time for lunch haha. I had an exquisite burger. Cooked to perfection. My wife had a salad that was extremely fresh and well portioned. I would go back again in a heartbeat

WOW...One of the best stakes of my life! The Angus Beef Delmonico Ribeye Steak was absolutely fantastic. The meat melted in the mouth and was cooked perfectly. The Canadian Salmon was perfectly prepared and delicious. Drinks from the bar were A+. The Sticky Biscuits were yummy too.

The Asbury is known for its modern southern cuisine. Their shrimp and grits dish is a must-try for anyone who loves seafood. The dish is served with plump and juicy shrimp that are cooked to perfection and served on a bed of grits. The grits are flavorful and smooth, and the dish is topped off with a rich and savory sauce that brings all the flavors together. I went for lunch with some coworkers, and the portion size left me satisfied but not stuffed. If you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, check this place out, and I highly recommend trying the shrimp and grits. You won't be disappointed!

The Asbury is quaint, but elegant. The inside is fairly small but they can accommodate a medium-sized group. They also offer a few patio tables out front. We made a reservation for a Sunday brunch. The sticky biscuits were my favorite. The icing is a little sweet, but overall, they were delicious. The coffee was bland, but I appreciated the flavor creamer options. The pancakes were good, but not exactly special. The staff was attentive, but not especially friendly. Everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. Parking deck was closed and the staff was not particularly helpful in finding an alternative. Please note, they Only validate for the 5th st. Parking garage

We were expecting a much better experience. Unfortunately, there were several disappointing aspects of our visit. Our server did not meet expectations. Despite being the first party to arrive, we were the last to leave, which was frustrating. While the wine was half-price, there was only one bottle of Honig available. Additionally, no vegetarian options were included on the menu, which felt limiting for some in our group. The pasta and veggies took the longest to arrive, and the salmon was significantly undercooked, which was concerning. There were three desserts on the special menu, two of which included ice cream. We were surprised to hear you were out of ice cream before we even ordered, and no alternative solution was offered--despite a store nearby that could have potentially resolved this issue, if effort was made. We were not offered any compensation or discount for these issues, which added to our disappointment. We wanted to love this experience, but unfortunately, it fell short. We hope management can take this feedback into account to better prepare for future guests.

Such a nice brunch spot with reasonable prices! We were really wanting a Sunday brunch. This place you have to reserve for and I see why! The food was so good. We were the first to arrive that morning so we missed the big rush. The staff was very friendly and the vibe was great. I would visit again.

It's been years since I've eaten at the Asbury and their recent reviews have been a little rough, so I was nervous having brunch here a few weekends back. BUT, omg! This was one of the best brunches I've had in a LONG time. The staff was great, helpful and all the things. But the star of the show was my food and my friends food too. I ordered the chicken and waffles, it was cooked to perfection and came with hot honey!!! So so so so good!!!! I added scrambled eggs with cheese and they were delicious as well. My friend ordered their banana pudding pancakes and I tasted those too and almost regretted my order haha. Next time I'll just ordered both! The food was REALLY that good! I'll definitely be back sooner rather than later for another delicious brunch!

Went for brunch over the weekend. Overall was a very solid meal. Spacious restaurant with good service. My food was delicious the chicken biscuit with blueberry sauce. The deviled eggs were also very good. We ordered a pitcher of mimosas for the table and it was enough for 6 people. Recommend! The only issue was the bathroom is super far and downstairs hard to get too.

I was invited to a tasting dinner for the launch of their new Chef and menu last week and everything was so delicious. The Asbury is not a place on my radar for dinner spots just bc it's tucked away but if you are going to a show downtown, discovery place or just staying at the Dunhill Hotel then it's a perfect option! It's very quaint a cozy so makes for a good intimate date spot. If it's crowded it can be a little loud---that was my biggest complaint. The snapper and steak dishes were phenomenal. For apps you have to try the sticky biscuit w ham and goat cheese icing!! For dessert the bread pudding was out of this world. The deviled eggs were also very unique and good!

We chose their theater menu because it $40 for three course meal. I chose the soup of the day which was asparagus with cheese finished with olive oil (delicious), my entree was the pan seared to perfection tender salmon with pickled tomato tartar sauce. My meal finished with drunken carrot cake that my husband described as very good. Our son had lamb shoulder with winter chow chow & chimichurri sauce (delicious)& he finished with lemon posset(delicious). My husband had the burger described as "very good " (high praise). The server was new but charming. She was very good to us. The restaurant is connected with the Asbury Hotel & so very chic with comfortable chairs & tables (although our table squeaked). I would recommend this restaurant

The service here was awful! She came to the table with an attitude. The food was mediocre and if we hadn't been staying in the hotel we probably wouldn't have went there based on previous reviews.

I had a lovely experience. I ordered the Gnocchi and deviled eggs for room service, and I had the Salmon, Smoky Old Fashion, and the Lemon Posset for dinner with a group. I stay at the Dunhill hotel for two nights and was greeted with this lovely Charcuterie board upon my arrival.

My breakfast stack was extremely good no complaints, issues. This was a very unique dish and came together excellent together!

Came to The Asbury for a business dinner and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered several appetizers, including the biscuits, deviled eggs, cauliflower and brisket. I found all of them to be very good, but I think the deviled eggs were my favorite. I've never had a deviled egg that was so creamy! I highly recommend. For the main course, I had the lamb shank. Superb. Fall off the bone. The collard greens and feta really complimented the dish. My only suggestion would be to serve some sort of starch with the dish, which would have made it even better. But all in all, a top notch meal in a very inviting, comfortable atmosphere.

Asbury is not on most peoples radar I have been told more times than a little they have great brunch so I finally went and checked it out over the weekend. They are located inside of the Dunhill hotel downtown . Our waiter was super nice , and the host seen myself & my friend taking selfies and offered to come over and take pics for us which was nice of her. The staff from the hotel was even super nice the customer service here is A1 that's for sure ! We started off with cranberry mimosas , you can't go wrong with a mimosa. For appetizers we ordered the deviled eggs & sticky biscuits & Omg i committed a serious sin I did not realize til after the fact they had ham in there but I tell you what it was worth it lol. Those sticky biscuits were dynamite ! For our entrees I ordered the chicken & waffles & my friend ordered the banana pudding pancakes . When I say everything we ordered was so dead on good it was almost unreal . Asbury definitely exceeded my expectations & I want to come back and try the dinner there . Not to mention great prices, very affordable.

Food: Oh where to start...the chicken sandwich was bland, flavorless and honestly seemed like a frozen chicken pre-breaded. To he in charlotte and serve that is almost an insult to the area. The asparagus soup was bland with no depth and was bitter. Again. Embarrassing. The burger was decent but had very little seasoning and was about 1/4" thick. Underwhelming. Chicken and waffles was as if someone just put frozen waffles together with frozen prebreadded chicken. Everything was bad. Ambience was cheap decor. Def had some potential but looked like no thought or effort was put in to making it welcoming. Service was decent thus the two stars. Bar tender was very rude though. We didn't sit with him.

It takes a lot for me to write a review like this but it must be done. My husband planned an early Valentine's Day dinner for us and selected here. I got all dolled up for a Friday night uptown away from the kids. We walk in and the place is empty, we were really confused so we walked towards the bar to try and figure out if we came in the wrong door. Well, we didn't. The hostels/server makes her appearance and flat out tells us, you two look like you're dressed to have a specially night and you're not gonna get that here. I can tell you quicker what we don't have then what we do on the menu and we also don't have an executive chef. I clearly thought this was going to be some Netflix movie redemption story because instead of leaving and trying to find somewhere else to go at 7:30 on a Friday night that wouldn't have a wait that would cut into our sitter's schedule I told my husband we should just stay. Ultimately, I was really disappointed with our experience here. I hoped for so much more and honestly felt like my childless night on the town was wasted here. With a great location in uptown I would have just expected so much more than what we got. Unless I know for a fact they have their stuff together it's a hard NO that I'll ever be back here.

We started with the Sticky Buns, they were delicious. I wasnt expecting them to be savory with goat cheese icing and country ham. The Sausage Omlet was divine. I loved the addition of the chorizo sausage. The Mac & Cheese is a MUST - I got it on the side of my omlet - no shame. The Banana Pudding Pancakes can be a full meal or dessert - you decide. The only thing I would change next time is to make the Jalapeño & Smoked Gouda Potato Cake "stack style" with gravy, goat feta and scallions.

I have been on the search for a great brunch spot in Charlotte. The asbury has been on my list for awhile and I am so glad I had the chance to try it. Parking is limited but it is within walking distance of the CTC/Arena light rail station. Seating is also limited so I would recommend reserving a table. The mimosas were fabulous - we got the pitcher and it served 6 perfectly. For my meal I had the asbury breakfast stack and it was delicious! I can't wait to go back.

The food was in a theme of "Back to the Future" which was really nice since we were going to see the play. Parking was very easy and covered by the restaurant. Service was excellent. Very nicely served meal. I liked the mirrors that if facing the wall you could also not feel boxed in. Little expensive but maybe not for uptown Resturant.

Whew, I love this place for brunch, again I say love! I made a special trip uptown over the weekend to order brunch. They validate parking in the deck behind the Dunhill hotel, but I was able to find parking on the street. I ordered the amazing banana walnut bread served warm with chocolate ganache and cream cheese icing.....marinate on that for a second....and let me say that it is as good as it sounds and better. I also ordered the banana pudding pancakes with caramelized banana, pastry cream and vanilla crunch......have you ever heard of such? Well let me say again, it didn't just sound freaking amazing, it tasted even better and just the most amazing flavors and everything you could ever ask for in your brunch choice.

Nice quaint spot found in charlotte uptown. Food and service both great. Will recommend but no need to return since I think I've tried all the good items on the brunch menu. Grits Sticky biscuits Jalapeno hashbrown Brisket and Egg sandwich Looking forward to trying dinner time

I've been a few times now for brunch. The service is always great! Ben is typically my server and he is always very friendly and knowledgeable. I've tried several different menu items and they have all been excellent! Weekend Brunch - Mimosa Pitchers. Need I say more? Jalapeño Gouda Potato Pancakes - you have to get these stack style!!! Kale Salad - I love this salad as is, but last time I tried it with fried chicken instead. It's gonna be a tough call which version I get next week Banana Pancakes - my friend orders this every time and they are always a hit Burger - The brunch burger has an egg, garlic aioli and ham jam. I will order this over and over

The sticky biscuits were UNBELIEVABLY amazing!! Very unassuming from the outside- simply designed interior with some pretty art on the walls. My friend's chicken biscuit was incredible- I honestly was jealous because I chose the classic breakfast and it was just ok. The biscuit was definitely excellent. I'm giving 4 stars because the service left a bit to be desired. We waited a long time to be greeted by our server, I asked for a wine list I never received, and it was difficult to get our server's attention several times. I ended up paying $16 for a glass of house chardonnay, which was also annoying. I'd probably go back again - it was overall a good experience.

Starting off with the deviled eggs with pickled cucumber on top: 1/5. would not get again. the pickled cucumber gave it a weird taste and the egg yolk was unseasoned and bland. hard pass Next the sticky biscuits were actually fire. If you're coming here I would definitely recommend these sweet sticky biscuits. it's very buttery so it falls apart quite easily but it tastes amazing. Finally the mac n cheese was kinda underwhelming. Again they could've used more seasoning. It was also extremely oily at the bottom. There was so much oil at the bottom it was like an oil pond. Overall wasn't blown away and probably wouldn't come here again

Was mediocre expensive flavorless tiny portioned food. Food took a while to come. But was bland, and very small portions. Chicken was really hard in some places. Save yourself a trip and money. Server was friendly. Ambiance was stuffy.

Kinda good, kinda not. Came here with my love for brunch on Sunday. My first impression was very underwhelming. It's more casual of a restaurant than I thought and it reminds me of hotel continental breakfast. I ordered a Mimosa, the French toast and a side of grits, both pretty flavorless. The French toast tasted like a slice of bread/toast topped with peaches, nothing eggy or French toasty about it. My love ordered the classic breakfast and he said the eggs and grits were flavorless, the only thing he enjoyed was the bacon-- you can't really mess that up. Our server was sweet and promptly fixed the error of giving us the wrong check/charging us for another table's food, which was an honest mistake. Overall, I had high expectations and sorely disappointed. Based on the reviews and seeing things here for myself, what we spent ($40- Snooze would've been a banger for this price point), and the ambience, it isn't likely that I'll be back.

An extremely delayed visit to what some consider a brunch staple. I visited for Saturday brunch before an event uptown. I mad a reservation via opentable. I had mentioned this upon arrival and that I was waiting on a friend to then realize she had already been seated. No big deal accept that they didn't mark off my open table reservation and this creates a "ding" with my account with them as a no show. In any account, our server was friendly but was overwhelmed with the amount of tables she had to cover. There weren't that many tables inside (i think due to covid) but there were a few tables outside which all were occupied. I do think they need to update their furniture, it all seems a little sad. On to the more important part, the food. If you check-in via yelp, you get the choice of two appetizers for free. I ordered the deviled eggs which were delicious. My fried ordered the cast iron banana bread with chocolate in the middle. It was also very good but its a bit filling so leave room for the main dish. As my main I ordered the Jalapeno Potato Cake with Sunny side eggs was awesome.

I am not typically a fan of hotel restaurants, but this one is an exception. Adjacent to the Dunhill Hotel, I popped in one evening for something to eat. It is a lovely restaurant, with excellent service. Not too loud (helpful when you are decompressing from a busy day) which I like. It was not too busy, with plenty of solo diners like myself. I ordered the house burger... despite all the wonderful dinner plate options. I had forgotten to tell her no mushrooms, but when I got it I figured why not eat it exactly the way the chef made it? It was REALLY good, a good quality burger. I also thought the pricing was reasonable which is not common for a hotel restaurant. Definitely worth grabbing a bite at if you find yourself at the Dunhill and not wanting to wander far.

We came here for brunch. Make a reservation because it's a tiny restaurant and it was pretty much full when we were there. We tried so many biscuits: the sticky biscuits, cast iron biscuits, and chicken in a biscuit. We also tried the fried chicken sammy and the mac and cheese. All of the food was good, but not great. My favorite things were the sticky biscuits and the fried chicken sammy. The mac and cheese was kind of bland and the cast iron biscuits didn't come with enough butter/jam. The thing that really made me not want to come back here was the service. It was incredibly slow. We waited for at least 10-15 minutes after we were ready before our waitress came to take our order. Then she didn't put in one of the entree orders for someone else at our table. Our water never got refilled. We had to ask for multiple coffee refills before we got one. They did at least make the entree they forgot about complementary, but the service still left a bad taste in my mouth. Our waitress also said they validated parking for the 5/3 garage, told us it would be $5, and supposedly validated ours, but we still got charged $11. Overall, the food probably wasn't good enough to make me come back with the bad service.

It's a small quaint restaurant with very attentive and courteous servers. The atmosphere is nice and warm. The setting is small but the quality and quantity of portions are grand. Brunch menu offers a variety. Pricing is reasonable and very convenient. Parking in the deck is right beside the hotel/restaurant on 2nd level. It was a pleasant New Years experience for myself and my friends. I would return to try some of the other items from the menu. The deviled eggs are delicious!!

There's new leadership in the kitchen and behind the bar, and it shows. The menus have been updated recently, and the new food and cocktail additions are delicious.

This is a good spot for breakfast! The staff is friendly and kind. Get the sticky biscuits. They are light, savory yet sweet, and a great start to the meal.

Went here for mother's day - lovely spot tucked away in the Dunhill hotel. It's quaint inside which I enjoyed for a lowkey brunch. The food was good, but nothing stood out as amazing! Started with the deviled eggs which had almost a pickled cucumber on top that I didn't love. The special for the day was a grilled pork belly with grits which I enjoyed. Mom had a regular breakfast with bacon, eggs, grits and a biscuit. While she enjoyed it, she wasn't raving about the meal. Think I would go back to try their dinner food.

The restaurant ran out of tables, out of Brussel sprouts, out of short ribs.....of course, Elton John's is performing down the street . The food gets one star because the beef was so tough, can't even cut it with knife. The young lady took care of us gets the other two

The only saving grace here is the food. We stand at the hotel and came here for the wife's birthday dinner and if I tell you I was run into by the staff of this restaurant, that I complained to the manager, I could see her tell her staff and would you believe right after they had the talk, her server walked into me again. We ate our delicious dinner and got the heck out of that dinner type atmosphere and will never return, I don't care how good the food is.

Small restaurant inside of the hotel, but the food was great! Service was top tier and the banana pudding pancakes are the TRUTH!

Chose this spot for our anniversary dinner on a Thursday evening. We made reservations which were not needed since the place was empty besides one other table of 4. This place is much smaller than I envisioned so makes me wonder how they manage a brunch on the weekends but I've heard it a good option as far as brunches go! They serve farm to table selections so the menu might rotate some since our choices were nothing like menus in the yelp pics. Bottom line it was all tasty but the portions were small in my opinion given the price! The rustic biscuits are really good but you have to ask for butter if you want as it is not served with it but they do serve it with an in season jam we were told raspberry but it was strawberry actually but very yummy all the same. We shared the peach salad and that was the star of the show if you ask me - arugula fresh peaches blueberries and the most delish fresh lemon vinegarete dressing- I could have licked the plate lol. For dinner the hubby had the Lamb neck kinda similar to an oxtail in a sort of BBQ sauce over yellow beets and savory coleslaw (wasn't a fan of that but just me) and some type of green looked like a spinach or kale meanwhile I opted for skirt steak with sautéed mushrooms and asparagus- it was very flavorful. Even though it was our anniversary there were no gratuitous desserts but we tried what was basically a blond brownie with a salty miso caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream I liked it the miso caramel actually complimented the sweet of the brownie and ice cream . They give you a decent pour of wine and they have a very limited selection of IPA beers We will definitely try the brunch!

great food and potential but the general vibe was strange. food was amazing the first time we went, but when we returned, we actually sent an item back (which I typically refuse to do) because it tasted like there may be chemicals (cleaning, dish, etc) in it. So much potential here and a great location.

Breakfast! So, we had money left over from the $50 hotel credit and decide to end our trip at the hotel restaurant. The Asbury is a nice relaxed addition to the hotel that has a variety of options. We had our mind's set on breakfast sampler until the server gave us the chefs specials. The steak had a Herby lemony garlic spread on top and those fries a cheesy sensation. The devil eggs was a blast too. Asbury chef was excited to know how we liked his brunch special. The server were really nice and made sure we had everything to end our weekend stay.

Small menu had me initially less interested but let me say the food is delightful. I got a pretty simple meal so I didn't expect much but everything was so good and flavorful. The service from everyone there was wonderful and they were quite kind! Def recommend

This place was nice. It has parking behind the restaurant in the garage and the restaurant will validate the tickets for you. This place was nice and intimate. They had about 8 tables in there and they were social distanced apart. The staff was friendly and the food was good. We made a reservation with the open table app and that went smoothly. We had great time we will be returning.

A great spot for brunch! The mimosas were VERY full and frequent. The banana pudding pancakes were a hit, so was the Asbury breakfast stack with jalapeño potato cakes & over easy eggs. The feta & gravy took it to the next level! The guys loved their classic breakfast as well!

It was fine. I hate when I'm not excited to review a place I've been to. That's the only thing that keeps popping up in my head when thinking about my experience at The Asbury. I remember the entire experience, the food, the service, and it all comes back to, "Yeah, it was fine." My experience was on Valentine's Day and there was a prix fixe menu for everyone that night. The options weren't too overwhelming, but there were a couple things I expected to really enjoy. They started us off with an oyster amuse bouche. It was lightly fried but still super oyster-y. It wasn't my favorite consistency but my girlfriend really enjoyed it. I went with the pan-seared scallops as my first, and it was actually quite delicious. Scallops were cooked well and had roasted parsnip puree and chicharrones which made it a little more fun. For the second course, I had the duck and was disappointed. The fat hadn't been rendered down enough and the skin wasn't crispy. The flavor was there but just an off-putting consistency with the fat. Very meh. The third course was pretty solid - a red grouper with mushrooms, turnip, and harissa. The fish was nice and meaty was was able to stand up to the harissa so it was enjoyable. Desserts were pretty decent and we both split each of ours. One was a suncrisp apple cake and one was a chocolate and peanut butter inspired. Both were pretty good and a nice way to end the meal. Overall, the plates were a bit rushed out, as was the wine. I understand Valentine's Day is a busy night for restaurants, but I don't want any of my wine pairings brought out before I finish the previous dish. Just seems sort of sloppy. I wanted more from The Asbury after hearing some good things and it being a big night. It fell a little short of expectations and unless someone REALLY wants to go here for a special occasion, I doubt I'll be back soon.

Wanted to try a new brunch spot so gave Asbury a try. Its located inside the Dunhill hotel. I had the classic breakfast with sausage, eggs, grits and a biscuit. I also added an order of Mac n cheese. There was a unique taste in the mac n cheese I couldn't put my finger on but it was very good. The eggs were also very good. The grits were not special but good enough. The sausage I did not like at all. Weird flavor and it was very dry. We got the deviled eggs too but I was not a fan. It tasted like a blended egg yolk, not like the deviled eggs I like with more flavor. Not the most impressive brunch but the atmosphere was nice, intimate and comfy! I loved that it wasn't overly crowded. They also validate parking and have a parking garage behind the hotel which is a win for any uptown spot! The service was also great.
