Spent a wonderful afternoon at Posana Cafe.  We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at your cafe today.  All of the food was prepared in an exceptional manner and presented beautifully.  We could not tell the staff enough how enjoyable our meal was.  Just had to write and let you know how much we enjoyed our meal.  Every aspect of the meal was wonderful, the taste, the presentation and the atmosphere.  What a wonderful surprise while visiting the Asheville area. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for an evening that was better than I ever imagined.  Everything was just perfect!  We had so many compliments about your location, decor, service, and wonderful food!  You and the Posana Cafe staff gave us a wonderful start for the wedding celebration.  Thank you for seeing to every detail.  Ron and I were able to enjoy the evening, visiting with all the guests and relaxing, assured that you had everything under control.  The Posana Cafe is a real jewel and asset to Asheville.  Thank you again.

I am a fellow Chef and I wanted to commend you, and your staff, on an excellent experience. My girlfriend and I had breakfast at Posana before we left town. We stayed at the Hotel Indigo, and made a visit to your place because she has a gluten allergy. I could tell there is a passion in the way things are done/presented with the meals. I can't tell you how many times I visit "the best places" and it turns out to be so cookie cutter. Thanks again, Rich

I am very well-traveled and eat out a lot.  The dinner I had last week at your establishment was the best meal I've had in 5 years.  Wonderful food, great service, nice atmosphere.  Thank you for a wonderful experience!

My sister and I recently visited Asheville and dined at your restaurant. At the end of our week stay, we both agreed that our best meal was at Posana Cafe. I enjoyed the beet and goat cheese salad - a perfect blend. We both had the trout entree. I love trout and I have to say that it was the best I have had in my entire life. I tried trout at other restaurants but none compare to yours. We also loved the atmosphere and the service - very relaxed and friendly.

During the 13 days we were in Asheville, we had breakfast, lunch or dinner at Posana's 11 of those days, sometimes two meals in the same day, sometimes sharing three desserts between the two of us.  Gourmet food, from outstanding french toast (recommended by Peter) to chicken noodle soup to sandwiches to full meals and multiple dessert offerings everyday, all prepared in-house.  A good selection of wines.  Prices were quite reasonable for everything.  Unbelievable.

We extend our appreciation.  The quail....crisped and roasted perfectly. The mushroom risotto, creamy and tasty.  The trout? sweet, as good as can be. Even asparagus and potatoes, tender, just crisp, not over or underdone, very lightly seasoned. In short, perfect attention to food preparations details, quality ingredients, a fresh and clean place, adequate utensils and linens, perfectly friendly and competent service, and given the overall quality, even reasonably priced.  I make very, very few restaurant recommendations.   That said, I am going to go ahead and recommend Posana.  I somehow get the sense you people are serious about quality.........an attitude we could stand in greater abundance in many, many aspects of modern life.  Good Luck and Thanks again.

I recently moved to WNC from out West, where eating healthy is a little more popular and easier to come by than it is here in the good ol' South. I took my local family (chicken fried-macaroni type folks) to Posana Cafe, thinking it would be a nice change, and though this is not the typical restaurant you'd come across in the South (or one my family would pick if given the choice), every family member RAVED. The atmosphere was chic and stylish without being stuffy, the ambience relaxed and casual. The food was superb. Creative, nutritious, mouth-watering dishes that were just the right size, not too much or too little. The desserts alone were worth a trip to downtown, each of us (6 people) got something different, and every serving was not just a dessert, but an amazing artistic creation. The service there is unmatched by any restaurant in the Asheville area. I got endless verbal "pats" on the back, thanking me for selecting Posana Cafe, and for an unforgettable night out. This is a restaurant that my family WILL return to, with or without me!

Posana Cafe is a hit, a wonderful addition to Asheville! It's a beautiful space, outdoor seating available. The menu is mostly organic, noveau American. They have a coffee & tea bar, wifi, a huge sports & party room, and pastries to die for. Peter & Martha Pollay, the local owners, have thought everything out, from the family recipes to the environmetally-friendly building materials. It is a great hangout, the food is organic, flavorful and delicious. The location is fantastic! In the heart of downtown right at Pack Square. Posana is very Asheville!

Tonight my family and I dined at Posana Cafe in downtown Asheville and were pleasantly surprised. Beautifully prepared dishes and full of flavor.  The waitstaff was very attentive and knowledgeable. I am sure that we have found a new favorite restaurant and will be returning soon. Thank you,

We sent our neighbor and his daughter and grandchildren to Posana the other night.  He said "it was wonderful, very fresh, the best he has had in Asheville! "  His daughter wrote me, "We ate at Posana and I ordered everything you recommended and thought I was going to pass out from happiness. I couldn’t finish the cheesecake so I brought it home with me and ate it throughtout the next day. The kids loved it too!

I appreciate your devotion to quality and service.

Well, my colleagues and friends are getting sick of hearing again and again how ecstatic we were to stumble upon your restaurant last Friday during our brief visit to Asheville…and our big bag full of baked goods raised a few eyebrows on the planeride home the next day, too. Let them eat cake; we had your scones and sticky buns instead!  Let them eat cake; we had your scones and sticky buns instead!  Thank you again for giving us a great meal and many happy bites the past week.

OMG...my friend and I had the best time at Posana. Peter is such a joy to talk to. In fact I like the food so much I went back again today for lunch.  My husband has been helping me out a lot because of getting ready for Bele Chere so I rewarded him with Posana's chocolate cake. We both agreed that the cake is the best chocolate cake ever.
