Food Scene
Because you can't beat the food (Spanish Tapas), the drinks, the vibe. Try to get seated at the kitchen bar.
You cannot reserve early enough. Go for the early or late if that's all they have open. Worth it.

Having a drink on the Sunset Terrace at the Grove Park Inn (locals will never use the OMNI part) is a real treat. Of course sunset is the best time. The neighborhood surrounding the Inn is one of the oldest and most beautiful in Asheville. Poke around. You won't be disappointed.
