  • AIR’s restaurants are independent, locally owned restaurants. AIR chefs and owners have the flexibility to adapt menus to the local growing seasons… change restaurant hours according to the length of day… or alter days of operation. This website provides basic information to assist you in making your dining choices. We suggested you call the restaurants directly to verify details and hours of operation.

    We appreciate your patronage and support of Asheville’s independent restaurants. By doing so you are supporting our local community as well.
