Wildwood Still

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wildwood Still in Asheville is an absolute gem and a true locals’ spot! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for a great experience. The food is absolutely delicious — every dish feels fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The drinks are equally impressive, with creative cocktails and a great selection that pair perfectly with the menu. The staff truly makes the place shine — friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Combined with the cozy yet vibrant environment, it’s the perfect spot for a night out, a casual drink, or a special occasion. Highly recommend!

So let me start with the positives: the atmosphere was lovely. The design leaned masculine with browns and blacks, but the touches of greenery softened the space nicely. The views were fantastic from anywhere inside, and especially beautiful from the patio. Our server was kind, helpful, and attentive overall. My friend ordered a small batch flight and really enjoyed both the product and the experience. She also loved her smash burger, though she did wish it came with fries for the price. Now for the less positive side: I ordered the Chilean sea bass marinated in a miso soy sauce. The portion was extremely small, and the texture seemed closer to California white sea bass than the thick, buttery Chilean sea bass I expected. The flavor was fine, but it didn’t quite deliver on the promise of that dish. To their credit, the manager graciously removed it from the bill. I then tried the Caesar salad since I’d heard great things, but it left me underwhelmed as well. For dessert, we shared the chocolate cherry blossom cheesecake. It was tasty, but presentation-wise it was simply a slice of cheesecake - with a side of whipped cream and a drizzle of orange sauce which felt a bit lackluster. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but unfortunately not a great one either.

My son and I were traveling through Asheville and stopped in and had an amazing dinner at the bar in this beautiful rooftop restaurant with killer views! Definitely stop into the Wildwood still when visiting Asheville you won’t be disappointed! They’re bourbon/whiskey selection is amazing!

What an amazing experience! We came for my birthday dinner and we were very impressed! The views were magnificent and the staff was so amazing! Our server Malachi was absolutely wonderful! He brought over a sweet birthday treat and card that made my night! The food was also amazing! The calamari?! Sensational! Highly recommend!

We came to The Wildwood Still as a group of six and were absolutely blown away by the entire experience. As soon as you walk into the restaurant you’re greeted with a warm, modern atmosphere that blends natural wood textures, and earthy tones. What truly sets this spot apart is the view. Floor-to-ceiling windows and an open rooftop patio offer sweeping mountain vistas, and if you’re lucky enough to be there during golden hour, it’s pure magic. Sunset in Asheville has never looked better. We had a bunch of different cocktails which were expertly crafted and delicious.

You have to come see Cindy, Quinn and Luigi!! The curated cocktails and conversation at the bar is unmatched. From traveling to unforgettable eats no table was left unturned. Not to mention, you have to try the chargrilled oysters! 10/10 I highly recommend!

Japanese fusion, the view and service is very nice. food is so far so good but the grill oyster is quite dry. The cod is very good!

The atmosphere on the rooftop was all the experience for us. The waiter was excellent as well. The wait for the food was a bit excessive, as was the price, for the result. I’d give another dish a shot, but was very disappointed in the burger. The kimchi add-ons are creative and a nice touch to introduce a hint of oriental cuisine.

Bummer that some people had bad experiences with a newer restaurant in a service town still reeling from Helene. Some grace is still welcomed. Clear that some have never experienced life as a server/bartender/manager. Even clearer some have absurdly silly expectations of any restaurant. Meh. I truly enjoyed my experience. I signed my wife and I up for a tasting event and when that event was cancelled due to the rep being sick, I was immediately contacted and offered a full refund and a complimentary cocktail that we would have received as part of the tasting if we wanted to dine with them that evening. We did. The space is great, nice views of the mountains and some of Asheville's iconic buildings. Upscale and modern, but comfortable. The food was legit. Both types of oysters were excellent - the chilled were the best. The mushrooms were tasty. The sea bass was perfectly cooked and the wilted bok choy was a perfect compliment. My wife's wagyu burger was just right. I didn't love the eggplant dish, but that's probably a bit of me having a tenuous relationship with eggplant. No issues with any of our drinks. They have a great whisk(e)y list. The service was attentive, even though it was obvious our server had most of the tables in the restaurant that evening. She was very friendly throughout. The birthday card and treat were a nice touch. I'm local and I'll be back.

Sorry, I just don't get all the hype about Wildwood Still. Rooftop location is OK - nice view of a bunch of apartment buildings and a pool. Drinks were overpriced with weak pours. Service was incredibly slow from the bar (maybe add a couple more bartenders on the weekend?) Food was good, but $13 for 2 Bao Buns - I think not!! It's a tourist joint, so I get the high prices. As a local, I won't be back - too many better values in town to enjoy without the crowds.

Wildwood Still may be one of our new favorites in town. It's on the roof of Moxy which means the views are incredible - go have a drink one night at sunset and I promise you won't be disappointed. Their food is decadent & interesting. The bone marrow topped with Chinese sausage was my favorite dish of the night. Their service is awesome and they're all so knowledgable about the menu so ask them for any and all recommendations!

3 out of 5 for the ambiance. We went when it was already dark so not much of a view, but the vibe was still nice. Tried the gyoza, which were small for the price and not a lot of individual gyoza to split between two people. I ordered a midnight in Tokyo which was okay, too much ice but looked pretty with whatever made it purple at the bottom. And my fiancé ordered the numbing cocktail which was unique with the tingling sensation. Nice, sophisticated drink to end the night with. Overall seems like a place to chill with friends and talk while enjoying cocktails, can't speak towards the food menu since we only ordered an appetizer.

Ambiance: Beautiful and classy rooftop bar overlooking the city and mountains. Wall to ceiling windows that bring in plenty of light. Service: Our server was sprinting back and forth between several tables so it took her a bit to get back to us on several occasions, but that was alright with us since we were not in a hurry. Food: The food took about 20 minutes to get to the table. Appetizers: Gyoza (Pork) and King Salmon Crudo (citrus, cucumber, vidalia onion, macadamia nut, tamari, lime, wonton chips) Both appetizers were delicious, and I'd absolutely order both of them again! Main entree: Chilean sea bass- Really good flavor. I loved the balance the veggies gave to the meal.

When I come to fancy places I have high hopes but this one failed me. They have one vegan option and hardly can make anything vegan off their menu. I asked the server and she said this tomato dish and I mean it's really really bad. Edamame beans are good though. She also recommended the green tea with ginger and it's okay but it would burn your insides lol. Ambience although is amazing. I don't think I recommend this place if you are vegan or vegetarian.

This is our second time eating at this restaurant. The first time was on Mother's Day, where our daughter was charged the full price for all nine meals as she made the reservation 2 weeks in advance. She was not notified that they would be charging her full price at that time. The second time we brought 11 people to celebrate a 50th birthday. When we walked in with a small cake we were told there would be a $24 cutting charge. Never in our lives have we experienced that. Then they would not separate checks for the 11 of us and one person was stuck with an $800 check. That doesn't happen in other restaurants. There were a few mixed up orders at our table also. I don't think we'll be back. By the way, we took the cake to a local bar to listen to their bluegrass band and their delightful waitress brought napkins and utensils so we could celebrate with our cake. At NO charge. Do better.

My wife and I stopped in during our anniversary weekend to check this place out. We did enjoy the views. We got in around 8pm. Just in time to catch the sunset. Really nice experience. Definitely worth checking out. We ordered the bone marrow and lemongrass shrimp. These were pretty great. I'd definitely recommend those if you stop by. The drink service was pretty terrible though. We ordered their flirting with flames cocktail and a glass of brut rose. It took about 30mins for us to get the drinks. We received and finished all of our food prior to getting our drinks . Our server came up to us after we were waiting for about 20mins and said " Sorry, we're looking for wine glasses". That was a little weird. When our drinks finally came we were already pretty annoyed. The rose was flat and the cocktail just tasted like pineapple juice. We paid our bill and left. Probably not going back. They have some work to do

Amazing! Sat at bar for cocktails & apps and the bartenders were delightful and so friendly and knowledgeable! New fav place in Asheville! Such delicious Japanese inspired drinks & food. We're heading back for our night cap (old fashioned is the best i've ever had!). Well decorated mix of woods and finishes make it very welcoming and comfortable too.....amazing mountain vies on 3 sides!

Beautiful location... Very nice service... Gorgeous views... But quite pricey... Definitely a special occasion spot. I don't know how many locals will make it into the regular rotation.

The view is great, unfortunately that's all. The vibe is off. The store staff, hostess, waitresses, bartenders seem rushed and bothered. The drink was terrible and I almost just drank it but asked for another. It was just a dirty martini but it tasted like a glass of vermouth. The place was not busy enough for the staff to be so inattentive and bothered. :-/

Great view, excellent food and fantastic service. The duck bao buns were my favorite part of the meal. Out of the 3 deserts we ordered for the table the matcha and olive oil cake was my favorite.

The view from the roof is amazing but their cocktails are terrible! Most disgusting Prosecco, cocktails (old fashions!) taste like gasoline. I'd expect a little more from a place that prides themselves on being a bar for whiskey enthusiasts

Car siu pork ribs Wonderful five spice bbq sauce Fast courtious service Beautiful mountain views

Food was very good however our service seemed a bit rushed. We were not even offered a dessert. I also was not offered a second glass of wine. Our entire experience was just over an hour. The views were incredible and everything tasted delicious. I'm willing to give the another try

Love and ambiance, plus the view. Our server was a tad bit all over the place. Had to track her down a few times and we only ordered two drinks (old-fashioned and mocktail mojito) and a dessert to share. As great as the Matcha & Olive Oil cake SOUNDS, it was not good. The cake itself was dry like a graham cracker crust, and it was overwhelmingly drenched with the Caramelized White Chocolate. It was rather interesting to say, but it was not enjoyable after two small bites. We did let the server know. All they could offer was another dessert option. We declined because it was rather late and didn't want to add to our wait -- yet we were still charged for the cake.

Incredible view. I had a nice time getting photos outside and relaxing with friends while watching the sunset. Ordered a ton of items with a large group and got to try a bit of most everything. The short rib was delectable and so tender. The duck bao buns were also noteworthy. I think it was the pancatta I had for desert that was purple. I had to refrain from licking the bowl on that one.

We loved our night out at Wildwood Still!! Our server Malachi was AMAZING. He recommended the new elixir drink it was soooo good. Also just an all around amazing time, the views are breathtaking. Definitely an asheville must! Would come back again. The food was also very tasty.

Views and service were excellent, 5 star on both of those fronts. I'd put the food at 2 star. The bao buns were pretty good. The two mains we got were unremarkable (sea bass) to actually not enjoyable (fish of the day). The dessert was dry and not worth eating.

The views of the mountains are the best in Asheville paired with great cocktails and food. The duck bao buns are so delicious and the cocktails are too! Last night's sunset was great.

Come for the view, stay for the food! Tried apps and cocktails and everything was superb. Special moment when Chef Tisdale introduced himself. No need to head to GPI anymore for world class views. This is my new place!

We were guests at the hotel. Made reservations for 6pm. Arrived and then were setted. I didn't get a welcoming feeling from the start. Felt like we were being looked down upon. Didn't see a waitress for 15mins. The only reason one came out is because we had to ask. We put in drink orders and food orders at the same time, because we didn't know if the waitress would come back. Well she never came back. There were very few other dinners in this place. Maybe 6 total tables. After waiting for drinks for 40mins. Got got up to leave. Then the waitress shows up saying sorry. Still with no drinks, appetizers, or meal. So We left and had dinner at The Black Bird. It's just a few doors down from the hotel. They get 5 stars. Very welcoming and kind. Waitress did a wonderful job. And the food was absolutely delicious. ​

ambiance and food are amazing! service friendly and on point as well. my favorite spot in Asheville for sure.
