Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Biltmore

In a dessert of chicken wings and ranch… The food at Tarbell’s is like a vacation back home to NYC where cuisine is an art and a passion. Unlike anything else in this city. The menu changes but I can confidently pick anything and know I will love it. Warning: The Hostesses will not honor the 15 minute grace period that is noted on OT. I called to inform them I was 15 minutes behind to be told I was being pushed onto the waitlist to seat those who are on time. This behavior does not match the warm service and atmosphere of this establishment. I was 17 minutes late and she wanted to let me know that I was “passed the grace period” which she told me she wasn’t honoring anyway. I will return and hope to have a better experience with the host staff so that I can say everything was perfect!

This restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)

We celebrated our 32nd Wedding anniversary, and as usual, the experience at Elements was outstanding. Our server was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful without being intrusive. The ambiance and surroundings are superb. Our starters and entrees were exceptional, and the chef's anniversary dessert was out of this world. Overall, a 5-Star experience. My only complaint- and this is about almost every restaurant we've patronized lately- was the inappropriate music selection--much too contemporary and improper for a fine dining experience. Please use simple background jazz at a lower volume. Your guests will appreciate it!

Well at first did not start good as Host/ Hostess tried to sit us in back room in a secluded dining area which has no ambience and although gave you a raving review last time because our waiter was so good, this was the second time this seating was an issue! Had we not already had a reservation I could possibly understand but it is a horrible atmosphere back in that room!!! Treat regular guests with dine dignity would be my suggestion. I did not rate the service excellent because of poor service but based on the fact our waiter was having to bartend and wait our table is allot to ask of your staff. It was exceptionally busy night since many were celebrating Valentines Day early so staff accordingly, please! Food was great, as always to date! Better planning for volume of business should be executed based on number of reservations and a well celebrated holiday for couples. We’ll be back just listen to your audience better and plan staff wise more effectively…

Great lunch with my beautiful wife and awesome son. Very healthy food options and a nice patio area, thank you.
