Flat Rock Wood Room
I have noticed that the parking lot is full every day at The Flat Rock Wood Room so I had the opportunity to stop by around 3pm after the rush. My timing was perfect and so was the food and company. The nicest thing about any place you visit are the people you meet and today was yet another special day in Hendersonville, NC. The Flat Rock Wood Room is neatly located just a few miles south of town on 225 and well worth the trip. They Feature Local and Micro Brewery Beers and I was treated to a taste of a most unique and quite delicious Creme Brulee Stout.
The Wood Room offers a full menu of Burgers, Soup and Salads (Try their Signature Flat Rock Salad with Sliced Strawberries), Smoked Pork and Chicken and Fire Brick Oven Neapolitan Pizza. Everything on the menu is Delicious and they have something to suit every appetite.
These lovely people traveled all the way from Ohio just to have a taste. Helen, the baby of eighteen children, is visiting the area with her "baby girl" and within minutes the folks at the Flat Rock Wood Room made all of us feel like one Big Happy Family!

Ruth's Chris Steak House in Asheville
Walking into the new Ruth's Chris Restaurant in Asheville you know immediately that you are soon to be treated to a luxury dining experience. The rich wood tones and art motif lure you into a world somewhat reminiscent of life at the Biltmore Estate, just next door.
Granite Bar, Granite Tables, Granite Sinks and Vanities, this place is solid quality and craftsmanship. Maybe you thought just their Steaks were Great!
Many thanks to the GM, to Dana and Wes for telling us about Ruth's, Lake Lure and Shumont Mountain and for making our first visit to Ruth's Chris in Asheville so interesting, enjoyable and memorable. Your fun personalities, attention and service made all the difference in the world. You made us feel welcome, you made us feel like home and by the way your "home" is absolutely beautiful, which brings us back to the Granite, the primary reason we came tonight. The Granite accoutrement's all come from Stone Gallery Granite & Marble , the home of Quality and Craftsmanship. If it's good enough for the house of Ruth, it's good enough for me!
