    little gem "wedge" salad
    Tiffany M.

    All I can say is WOW. The food at Appalachia left me speechless! We arrived with a reservation, and our server was friendly and efficient. She offered the daily specials and made some excellent recommendations for our group. We ordered: -Little Gem "Wedge" Salad (pickled shallot, applewood slab bacon, herb oil, "everything bagel" crunchy stuff, confit tomato, house blue cheese dressing.) -Toasted Ciabatta for the Table (garlic confit, whipped butter, garden herbs, balsamic reduction) -Charcuterie (Chef's selection of two cured meats and two local cheeses, pepper jelly, mustard butter, grilled sourdough + accompaniments) -Chicken Liver & Black Truffle Pâté (cherry mostarda, cornichon, crostini, smoked Maldon salt, whole grain mustard) -Braised Beef Short Rib (grilled wild mushrooms, natural jus, orange gremolata, creamy couscous) -Gemelli (duck confit, toasted pecan, balsamic-brown butter, local apple, Calabrian chili-whipped ricotta, chive) -Steak Du Jour (Chef's daily preparation. charred broccolini, duck-fat fried fingerling potatoes, roasted garlic aioli) The standouts were the charcuterie and the braised beef short rib. The short rib was served over a couscous that was reminiscent of an alfredo, and all 6 of us fought over who got scrape the plate clean! All of the food was immensely flavorful and satisfying. Most of our party had dined at Appalachia before and noted that the quality was consistent. They had looked forward to coming back and said it exceeded their expectations; I agree! I look forward to returning.

    Had a late Fathers Day lunch. everything was spectacular. The service, the food, the view all of it. We split the fried green tomatoes and the little gem wedge salad. I had the steak my dad had the pork chops and my mom had saffron soup of the day. And then the confetti cake. Oh my.

    I have been to Michelin restaurants and this deserves one. The best food I have ever had. Very quaint, very intimate, and most of all, relaxing. There are beautiful views of Lake Lure. The drinks and service are also fantastic. 1000% recommend.

    Our family had a truly wonderful experience. Service was excellent, the food was amazing and so were the drinks. There was a wonderful view of the lake from the restaurant.

    This gem of a restaurant blew my family and I away! Our server was so kind, the views were great and the food was perfection. Make sure to get the ice cream when you go.

    A new gem!!!! Ok let me rephrase an existing restaurant has a new owner. So this beautiful location has new owners and a completely new vibe! First of all the view.......wow swoon! If your looking to enjoy the views with company, for a girls trip or date night here is your location. Second the cocktails, an extremely sophisticated menu with lots of craft cocktails with fresh fruits and homemade bitters. Also an extensive and well thought out wine list! Third, the food. We came with a large party of 10 very hungry! We ordered to start foie gras butter with strawberry jam and toast points, focaccia with butter, beet salad, tomato soup, all were delish! For dinner we ordered the ribeye with mushroom risotto and green beans. Large portion delicious flavor. We also ordered cacio e Pepe gnocchi, the duck, with a blueberry sauce, the jambalaya with fresh local shrimp and the wedge salad. Everyone was over the moon excited with their options. We will absolutely be returning and bringing friends along. I also think a brunch or lunch would be spectacular at this location.

    We had a later reservation. We were still able to see the Lakeview. We were early so we had to wait to touch for our table, but we told staff it was not an issue. We were not on schedule. Staff was attentive. Dinner was fabulous. My daughter loves to get the charcuterie board. It was quite large. Two meats and at least two cheeses with some fruit and peppers. My young daughter ordered a pork belly appetizer for her main. The portions size was adequate for a main. She loved it. My wife had the tenderloin with potatoes and morels and she said it was perfect. I enjoyed my lamb chops. I didn't have room for dessert, but sometimes you have to say what the heck. My daughter had crème brûlée which she loves. She says it was the best ever. I had the chocolate moose trifle and it was yummy. Will be back in the area to come again.

    We loved this spot!!! Grabbed a light lunch to tie us over mid da my and I'm so glad we did…read more Incredible view - very fun golf course vibes aesthetic. Friendly, helpful staff and quick service. Would love to visit again and stay for a longer fuller meal! They also have tvs so we were able to catch a bit of the World Cup!

    It pains me to write a 3 star review for this place because I've had previous positive experiences…read more I sat at the bar around 5p with the idea of getting an early dinner and rolling out quickly for an early day tomorrow. There were maybe 3 other people sitting there when I arrived. I ordered the chef salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing and the Turkey Melt which I had once before and recall it being THE best melt I ever had. When I got my salad, it had ranch dressing. I asked the waitress what was the dressing and she said, it's our special made ranch dressing, it's sooo good. I said 'I ordered balsamic vinaigrette', she said 'oh my, you're right, we'll get this fixed for you'. Oh well, I thought it was simple. When I got the Turkey Melt, it was so messed up, I could not EVEN pick it up, it was sliding off the panini. I had a guy sitting next to me who could not even order a pizza. He didn't know what his choices were. When the waitress told him his options, he said ' wait a minute, I have to make a call'. He was talking to someone about what he could have on his pizza. When the waitress came back, he couldn't remember what he wanted, finally he just said 'I just want cheese'. Then this couple at the end of the bar are SO loud, everyone is looking at them. They were locals because the kept talking about local stuff. Then as more people came in, they all went to the end of the bar to see this couple and all of a sudden it felt like a party. I was enjoying the HDTV, it had the golf Channel, ESPN and CNBC all at the same time, three of my favs' Then the sound of rolling THUNDER and all the channels went blank. It was more than I could deal with, I ask for my bill and a go box.

Rebecca, made sure that any questions I asked were answered. She was terrific!  Eric, was so professional and knowledgeable about the variety of wines we sampled for our tasting. He explained everything from the beginning to the end!  This place is definitely a vineyard you should visit. I will say there was not one wine that I did not enjoy! I absolutely enjoyed every pour.  Their wines are remarkable choices that would be great for a dinner party or holiday gathering. The wines paired very well with our charcuterie board.  If you are ever looking for a getaway where you get to see the beautiful foothill views,  Take a trip to Tryon, NC and visit this location.  You will enjoy the vibes, wine, scenery and everything this vineyard has to offer. This was a beautiful tasting with great customer service. The ambiance was just as beautiful as the service! Again, hats off to Rebecca, Eric and the winemaker!!!! They all made this occasion that much more special.
