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!
This roof top bar/restaurant had a classy feel, great views of downtown. We didn't here but enjoyed several cocktails. There's plenty of seating options
I came up to Capella on 9 for coffee and breakfast while staying at the hotel. Breathtaking views from the rooftop bar whether catching a sunrise or sunset. The staff were very attentive, and good coffee.
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.
4 ⭐️. Great potential and great sunset view. Decent drinks and food.
The portions are small (good) so you can dabble around the menu. It’s close to being really good, but every dish is just a little inferior to traditional namesakes. It’s as if the cooking is twice removed?
This will sound harsh, but has the intent of the commentary is to help the location/food prep. The prosciutto toast was too thick and not toasted enough. The beef tartare literally had bagged chips, the tuna carpaccio was either ready made or the chef doesn’t understand the slicing. Two tables around me hated whatever the purple drink was and another was told a drink existed when it did not.
The location (sunset) and decent pricing make up for the above commentary. Did I mention great sunset view?
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.
We went for a night out, cocktails and snacks while listening to the DJ. This is top floor rooftop of the hotel. Large bar area with many sections. Has an outdoor area too but it was raining so it was closed off. Service was excellent - they did a great job serving a table of 10! Kept things flowing and tended to our needs. DJ was spinning some great tunes. He was so gracious to play a couple songs we requested and take a group photo. Go for a cocktail or two and enjoy the scene.
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.
