Tayloe's Oyster Bar

We’ve been traveling to Black Mountain and Asheville since 2018 and Tayloe’s has always been a stop since we found it back in 2018. The vibe was always great and the Happy Hour oysters brought in a fun crowd, no matter what day you stopped in. The owners are Alabama fans and the bar area shows that passion. Nearly every time we have stopped in, the owner was at the bar and talking with customers and employees. We stopped in this week and it was all a bit different. The vibe was much different - quieter and missing the Happy Hour crowd. Owner and his wife were at the bar but not engaging at all. Happy Hour oysters were gone - waitress said because of COVID but we stopped in during the summer of 2020 and they were still running Happy Hour. Ultimately, if that’s what needs done to stay afloat - anyone could understand it. Food wasn’t bad… my shrimp po-boy was excellent and her Steak Diane was good - but not great. Bread and butter are fantastic and the watermelon and blackberry salad was amazing. Oysters were good as always! Not that we won’t come back and stop again on our next visit but not sure we’ll be as excited to as we always were! The picture of the sign was from this week and the group picture was from a few years back in 2019.

Service was flawless, the food was unbelievably delicious , and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Parking: Difficult to find suitable parking

Great place for an event and good food. Large hall that can sit many.

Hands down, unbeatable! The menu is incredible. While there's an obvious lean towards fresh seafood, there is something for everyone. The atmosphere reminds me of the laid back vibe you would get in Charleston as you can tell it's not only a place for visitors, but the place that locals frequent. Service is very attentive while not overly so. Fantastic list of wines and cocktails. As a local, I can't believe that I hadn't gone sooner. I'll definitely be one of those that frequent!

Drinks and food were absolutely amazing.

Tayloe's Oyster Bar is a great place. We discovered it by accident while looking for a place to get a cocktail after dinner. Trailhead was where we went first, but it was extremely crowded and it appeared to only have beer. Foothills was closed as it seems to be often when we try to go there. We just happened to notice Tayloe's and went in. The service was excellent and the bartender was extremely nice. The top shelf margaritas and the plate of mussels were definitely excellent too. The atmosphere and decor is very impressive. I was also impressed with the cleanliness of Tayloe's. Even the restroom was possibly the cleanest of any restaurant ones I've been in. We will most definitely go back for dinner next time as well as cocktails. It is connected and joined to a restaurant named Que Sera which I assume is where the food is made. It looks nice too. I really like the ambience of Tayloe's. I highly recommend this place!

Excellent New Orleans cuisine, service and hospitality. Thanks for a wonderful evening...

Tayloe's/Que Sera has definitely become a must whenever I'm in town. The Que Sera and Comeback oysters are always on point. Great staff and great atmosphere. Big city flavor in beautiful, quaint, small town. The mountains never tasted so good.

Excellent food, little pricey, but with things the way they are I guess everything is going to be more expensive soon
