    The restaurant is beautifully designed, the manager was very thoughtful and attentive, our service person was very helpful, provided excellent guidance, and was fun. The food was absolutely delicious. It was my friend's birthday and I had noted when I set the reservation that she was not eating dessert so the manner did an amazing thing and brought out an appetizer with a candle. She was so touched. We noticed that the manager was constantly involved in what was going on. He was in the kitchen he was on the floor, and he seen to have his finger on the pulse of the restaurant. The only negative is the music is much too loud. We found ourselves leaning over to hear each other talk and having to repeat things several times. I could hear the people at the table nearby because they were shouting to be heard by each other. We went over to the bar area to see what that was like and the DJs were there and the music there was also very very loud. I love music however there's a level that it's not enjoyable.

    Glass Onion is a regular visit for us. We love the cozy welcome atmosphere as well as finely prepared foods and drinks. My favorite is the trout with kale. And the coconut cake is the best! Specials are also always delicious. The staff really makes this place a top favorite. And that’s saying something as we’ve dined out all over the world by now.

    We happened to dine during AVL Restaurant Week and everything, from the greeting when we checked in to the final goodbye, was exceptional. Our waiter Rob was friendly and helpful as was every person who delivered food to our table. Beautiful restaurant, excellent food and delightful staff. Our evening was an A+ experience!

    We all thoroughly enjoyed our dinner - everything was delicious . Although not a cheap place to eat not crazy expensive either and many affordable options and excellent wine choices. Flavors combinations were interesting and different exceeding expectations. My friend said her tomato soup was the “best she ever had”!? My husband’s crab entrusted red snapper was extraordinary - and the truffle infused crostini wowed!

    This was a girls weekend for us and we enjoyed the setting and location of District 42. We didn’t realize it was at a hotel and never once felt like we were in a hotel. Set in the middle of the city it was fun to have our first evening there!
