We heard about Tupelo honey from friends of ours that were religious patrons of their Asheville location. At their insistence, we had dinner there one night a few weeks after they opened. The only way I can describe Tupelo is this: have you ever eaten at a restaurant where the menu SOUNDS better than the food actually TASTES? That's basically it in a nutshell. I wasn't overly impressed (or really impressed at all) by anything that our table ordered. Just poor execution. Hopefully they work out whatever kinks are keeping this from being a great foodie destination!
