Cornerstone, American restaurant in Asheville, United States.
Cornerstone is a restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina, serving hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, and Greek specialties alongside classic American breakfast and dinner dishes. The menu moves between American cooking and Mediterranean-influenced plates, giving diners a wide range of choices under one roof.
The restaurant opened in 1997 as a family-run business and became a fixture in Asheville's dining scene over the following years. It went on to win regional awards, including recognition for best breakfast and best overall restaurant in Western North Carolina.
The dining room displays work by local artists, so the walls change over time as new pieces rotate in. Eating here feels like stepping into a small gallery where the food and the art share the same space.
The restaurant is open every day and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so it works well at any point during a visit to Asheville. It is close to the main attractions in town, making it easy to combine a meal with sightseeing.
The kitchen combines classic American cooking with Greek family recipes, producing dishes like braised lamb shank and smoked salmon Benedict on the same menu. This mix came from the owners' own background rather than any deliberate concept, and it has stayed on the menu since the beginning.
