    Our appetizers, meals, and drinks were delicious. We were sadly disappointed in the buckeye cake. Very dry! Service was excellent. My Christmas margarita was remarkable! I need to figure out the recipe for home. Overall WONDERFUL experience

    The hostess/host of the restaurant were completely overwhelmed. The line to check in for reservations was long and it was unclear if guests should go to front of line to let the restaurant know the party was there for their reservation, as the time for the allotted reservation was past due to the long wait. we were sat for dinner 30 min late which created a problem to make our biltmore house tour . We had made adequate time between dinner and tour time, (90 minutes) but the late seating made dinner a rush instead of a pleasure. The host looked anxious and did not greet us or take the initiative to explain everyone was being seated late and they were running behind. Instead he avoided eye contact and customers were left standing in line worrying their reservation was not being honored or unsure if they should go to the front of the line try to check in to let them know their party was there. Bad first impression. Despite that .. our server, Carmen , was calm, relaxed and very pleasant. She was efficient, yet friendly and our food came out quickly and was delicious. She saved the day .

    This is the perfect place to have a very nice dinner prior to your Candlelight Christmas Evening tour. We have gone for many years and the food is always excellent. The service is always very attentive and the ambiance festive. This year we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay & visit.

    The service was great, as was the food. But the cost of dinner is a bit on the steep side. You are definitely paying for the location. Which is fine for a special occasion. However, expect dinner for 2 to easily set you back $150-$200.

    We dined for the Candlelight Pre Fixe Menu. The service was acceptable but nothing exemplary. We were seated near the kitchen and it was loud, bustling, and distracting. The duck fat cornbread was great but the mains were bland and uninspired. The braised short ribs tasted and looked like pressure cooked pot roast without any seasoning. Overall for 2 adults and 2 children it was $250 without any drinks and not worth the price tag.

    This was a great choice as it is on the Biltmore estate property. Make sure you have a reservation.
