Asheville; (finer) dining

Been reading alot of posts from the past 1-2 years. The Admiral seems to get the most love. Their website does not seem to really show why very well. Maybe a little help, please?

Then there is support for these: Curate, Limones, Nightbell, Cucina24, Fig, Table, The Junction, Ambrozia, Zambia, Bouchon, the Bull & Beggar. How to choose is a problem with so many

It seems like Rhubarb and Buxton Hall are trying (looking elsewhere and at the websites) but elicit much love. I am guessing King James closed?

Smoky Park looks good on their website but I have been around long enough to trust you peeps alot more than a commercial website.

Looks like White Duck Tacos and All Souls Pizza do well at a more casual setting.

We have 8-9 days (I will spend 3 days at a meeting at the Grove Park Inn; lucky wife is free). All y'all warned everyone away from dining there so we will spend our stay downtown.
