The Madness- West Asheville/Candler

I seriously love this place! 🤍 The atmosphere is so fun, the music is always on point, and it’s the perfect spot to grab drinks with friends. Mila is hands down the BEST bartender. Every single drink she’s made for me has been absolutely perfect. She seriously slays every cocktail and somehow always knows exactly what to recommend. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also so sweet, welcoming, and makes everyone feel like a regular. She has the kind of personality that keeps you coming back. The drinks are consistently amazing, the service is top tier, and the overall vibe is unmatched. If you’re stopping by, definitely hope you get Mila behind the bar because she’ll make your night even better. She deserves all the love. Five stars every time! 🍸✨🫶

I tried The Madness tonight in Candler with my husband, in-laws and 3 year old and it was by far the worst restaurant I've tried since moving to Asheville a few years ago. When we first were sat, we were a little disappointed that our toddler was ignored. The waiter brought the table waters, but didn't offer to bring him a drink, didn't bring a kids menu, didn't bring him a fork or an appetizer sharing plate. When we asked about a kid's menu, the waiter said they didn't have any printed but he told us a few of the things that are offered. We put in our drink, appetizer and entree orders and then the waiting began. We had to remind the waiter of our drink orders before he finally brought them after a long wait. Then, we waited 30-45 minutes for our appetizer to come out, which was very delicious (the crab Rangoon dip). Then, our food came, but the kid's meal was missing, one of the sides was incorrect, and 2/4 of the burgers were rare, despite us all ordering them medium. I completely got the ick and just couldn't eat it. After another long wait, our waiter finally returned to the table and asked how everything was. We let him know all of our issues and he said they would get everyt

Great food! There was a little something for everyone on the menu. The bento box is a good value if you want a sample of many things. The Cuban was delicious, but surprised me with bread and butter pickles. There are daily specials on food or drinks, too! Check the sandwich board outside.

Pleasantly surprised with how fresh the sushi was! My wife got a burger (she killed it) and I got the sashimi/nigiri platter. Pricing was very reasonable. I think it was the manager going around checking up on folks and the server was very attentive.

Let me tell you this place is flipping amazing. You want a unique food experience this is the place I got the classic Bento box. It had a burger and fries and classic roll, edamame and nice salad and two dumplings. I got the spicy salmon roll. It was good, the roll was amazing packed with salmon. Dumplings were fire. Everyone’s meal at the table was Gas. Eddie was our server and he hit the service out the park. He was super personable and when above and beyond. This place is so amazing recommend highly..
