What Mark S likes about Writer's Bistro at the Renaissance:
What a hidden gem! There are so many Asheville based restaurants on OpenTable and I rely on OpenTable for everything. This restaurant was awesome. Great food and service. No one was there! Two tables and that was it. Sure its not on the main strip on Broadway, but I recommend making the stop. View all feedback. What Aliya Raynor doesn't like about Writer's Bistro at the Renaissance:
The waiter was incompetent, pushy with upselling, and rude and slow to bring requested items. The food was average at best, with excessive sauces and stale-tasting tortillas. Not recommended! View all feedback.

Interesting menu. Great place for pre/post theatre, as it's right behind the ACT theatre. Foodisdelicious.

Writer's Bistro in Asheville offers a mixed dining experience, with some diners finding it disappointing while others praise its unique dishes and attentive service. One patron was let down by a Christmas buffet that did not meet expectations, both in terms of quality and price. Another diner found the ambiance too loud for a comfortable meal. However, there were positive reviews as well, with guests raving about the delicious food, great margaritas, and attentive service. A few customers enjoyed the quiet, romantic setting of the restaurant. Despite some mixed reviews, Writer's Bistro seems to offer a unique dining experience worth exploring.
