Jargon Restaurant – Dinner, Dessert, Cocktails and More!

Reservations are highly recommended. 

Due to the intimate nature of our dining room, we do not accommodate parties of 7 or more on Friday and Saturday, and 8 on Sunday through Thursday.  Reservations for 7 or more must be made by calling us directly at 828-785-1761.

Our knowledgeable and friendly staff is dedicated to making your experience at Jargon a delightfully memorable one, and we hope to see you here.

Our menu changes regularly due to the availability of seasonal ingredients and the creative sensibilities of our chef.
