As always we had another great experience. Live music was great, our server was amazing and could answer all of our questions. We are not meat eaters so he steered us to the plates we would like on the new winter menu. My Manhattan was excellent, atmosphere was exactly what I enjoy. I would ask that the chef create a vegan/vegetarian entree for us non meat eaters- not pasta with a cream sauce preferably so we have an entree option, we went with several starters for our meal. All delicious. Will be back!

Absolutely outstanding. Service was great. Food was prepared and presented beautifully. A great experience all around. I highly recommend. Cocktails were great. Wine list was on the smaller side but the staff understood the wines and made sure we had the proper selections to optimally enjoy our entrees. Desserts are out of this world. We had a medium size group and were the last patrons on a Tuesday night. Staff was kind and professional right up to the end. This place has no equal in Western North Carolina, truly a hidden gem in Hendersonville and well worth the trip.

Exceptional experience. Elegantly appointed restaurant. Interesting assortment of menu items. Steak and potato terrine was a hit for a carnivore. We look forward to our next visit. “Nicest” dining in Hendersonville.

Loved it! Great service and atmosphere. I wish they had a few more options that were not “fancy”. I also wish they didn’t change for the bread. $14 for something that you should just get with a meal.
ClaywoodResponded on 19 December 2024
We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the service and atmosphere at Claywood—it means a lot to us that those aspects stood out during your visit. Our menu is designed to highlight seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients, and we strive to create unique dishes that appeal to a variety of tastes. That said, we always welcome suggestions and will keep your thoughts in mind as we continue to evolve our offerings. Regarding the bread, we include it as an additional item due to the time and care put into its preparation, as well as the artisanal ingredients used. However, we understand that expectations can differ, and we appreciate your perspective on this. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us grow and improve. We’d love to welcome you back soon and make your next visit even better!
