Food Scene

We love this spot, with plenty of European influence and lots of butter in everything, its a taste of home for me. It has such beautiful nuanced touches here and there. Great staff, a back garden to sit in on warmer days. And a six-minute walk away. I love the choices they make in combining flavors. OWL is an old world charm coming to meet West Asheville​ hip.
