Flight Savor Fare

Listen up, guys. Yes, make dinner reservations (at Flight, of course) and pick the right sparkling wine and wives and girlfriends will be impressed. (Flight is giving every two entrees a split of sparkling wine, normally called champagne, but that’s correct only if it actually comes from Champagne, France.)

or should it be Flight Late Nights? Sam and I, along with some friends, took salsa lessons in Asheville at the Chamber of Commerce, for goodness sake! It was fun and quite a work out. We enjoyed it so much we’d like to bring it to Flight. An hour dance class followed by dinner at [...]

Just back from sunny, warm California a few days ago – with stories and pix to share over the next few weeks. In Paso Robles, we visited Justin, J. Lohr, Adelaida, Clautiere, Turley, Dark Star and Brian Benson wineries, then Ridge at Montebello in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We took a few days to enjoy [...]

We’d like to hear from you. How would you like us to help you celebrate the New Year? Confetti and noise [...]

If you, like me, can never finish your dinner and taking it home is well, tiresome, you’ll be pleased to hear that Chef Rob is doing smaller portion options for some of your favorite entrees. And the Chicken Pot Pie was a total hit. It’s now a regular entree item, priced at $19. Best of [...]

I’m looking for new art for Flight. In a perfect world, the theme would be people having a merry time drinking, eating, playing music so that the happiness and community displayed would delicately infuse each table. It would also be wonderful if said artist were from Western North Carolina or perhaps, upstate South Carolina. We [...]
