A vintage diner shell hiding a modern New American kitchen, The Admiral in West Asheville runs rotating blue plate specials alongside small plates that take unexpected turns. The menu has enough classic steak-and-sauce comfort to keep one person happy while the person across the table orders something they'll be talking about on the drive home. The Michelin Guide has it on their radar.
