The Asbury

Beautiful little restaurant attached to The Dunhill Hotel in downtown Charlotte. Chung was our server and was very attentive, soft-spoken, and great at serving the table flawlessly. The food was excellent, both the appetizers and entrées. At first glance, you would expect everything to be priced in $20-$30 range, but the prices were not bad at all. I had a burger and fries, and it was under $15. This is definitely a hidden gem right on N Tryon St in downtown Charlotte.

The Asbury was quiet early on a Monday morning. That allowed me the opportunity to chat with staff and recover following a late night at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. Nikki M is a fantastic server and was perfectly attentive without hovering. I’d hoped to try the Chicken Biscuit with the piquillo cream cheese and blueberry jam, but they were out of chicken (not surprising after a busy weekend). I got my second choice, the Classic Breakfast. The scrambled eggs were good, the bacon extra crispy (just as I like it), and the jalapeno & smoked gouda potato cake, while just a little bit greasy, was scrumptious. The biscuit was overcooked but flakey enough to separate. Once the harder outside layers were removed, it met the expectations of this “southern rustic fare” restaurant. Its location inside The Dunhill allowed me a quick peak of Charlotte’s only “historic boutique hotel." Next time I’ll try to stay onsite and take advantage of the full bar and an expanded menu at The Asbury.

Excellent restaurant. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection. The "kitchen sink fries" was amazing even though it was not on the menu. Good wine selection and reasonablypriced. The service was fantastic. Our waiter made excellent recommendations for both food and wine. Exceeded expectations.

My friend and I are in town for my birthday and found The Asbury whilst searching for a specific mesh of upscale with southern culture. This place exceeded all expectations! The host was amazing, I loved their style, I knew immediately “this is going to be great.” And man, was it! Our waiter was fantastic, very friendly and super attentive! I got an Asbury burger and Mac, and my friend got the Warm Kale Salad with salmon…one word. PHENOMENAL! Thank y’all for making the kickoff to my birthday weekend awesome!
