Capella on 9

First, let me say that Warren and Anderson are absolutely amazing servers. Full stop. The hubs and I had the pleasure of having them both and loved them. Thanksgiving dinner at Capella was freaking phenomenal. The turkey deserved an applause, and the burger was not to be toyed with. As far as hotel bar and restaurants go, Capella on 9 is taking names. Trust me, I know. This is the place to brings the friends for sure. On Friday night, the DJ spinning at “Capella @ Night” was a vibe and the perfect backdrop for our late night snack and night cap. Obviously, I’ve become a huge fan and can’t wait for my next visit when in AVL. Cheers!

Fantastic place to watch the sunset and enjoy mountain views. Service from Sam was great; she not only guided us to good food (crab cakes!) and wine choices, but also gave us the scoop on landmarks we were trying to identify.

I randomly stumbled into the rooftop bar at Capella on 9, and it ended up being the best part of my night. Candra was my bartender, and she was seriously amazing. I had no clue what I wanted to drink, I just told her my favorite liquor and that I like sweeter drinks. Instead of giving me something basic, she created THREE completely different seasonal cocktails for me, and every single one was so good. Like not just “that’s nice,” but actually impressive. You can tell she really knows what she’s doing. That’s real talent. She was also genuinely kind and attentive the whole time. Super easy to talk to, paid attention to what I liked, and made the whole experience feel personal. Honestly, I was low-key devastated that I had already booked a room somewhere else. Based on that experience alone

I brought my husband here for this birthday dinner while we were on vacation. The atmosphere is flattering and the decor is a mix of cozy and modern. We made reservations, which put us on the opposite side of the restaurant that we wanted to sit in (the side with the fire pits), but the hostess was accommodating and allowed us to sit there instead (first come first serve basis). The food was absolutely delicious, but the drinks were not so great. I got a Moscow mule that was less than appetizing and the scallops were very expensive for only 2 scallops on a plate. It appeared that some of the outdoor area was lacking some cleaning, but nonetheless, we loved the views of the mountains and the experience.

Dined here with friends and my husband for my birthday last night. The 3 stars come completely from the AMAZING food. Everything my entire party ate was creative, delicious, and I would come back for the food alone. Special shout out for the chicken wings and the braised short ribs so my immense compliments to the chef. With that said, I can honestly say the service was comedically bad. Like, the WORST server I feel like I have ever had in my life and I’m not being dramatic. Inattentive, not friendly, had to ask for simple things multiple times. He literally just coasted the entire night. Our server alone almost ruined what still managed to be an amazing night. Honestly, I would have preferred we just served ourselves.
