We have been coming to Lake Lure for three years now and we have come to Highlands every time! Each…read morevisit has been in a new location. This year they were forced to move out of Chimney Rock Village because the half of the town was wiped out by Hurricane Helene. I was very excited to come support them through this tragedy because their food is simply amazing! I ordered the prime rib and it was fantastic. We had a large party and ever stated how good their meals were. If you like upscale dining, this is your place in Lake Lure. Don't let the outside of this restaurant fool you. Their new location is nice. They revamped the space and the outside patio is adorable. The inside was pleasant and comfortable. Our waiter was multitasking as a waiter, food runner and bartender. So he was attentive as best he could. He did take the time to talk over menu items and even create a custom cocktail for my friend. He was awesome! There was some confusion about our reservation and our table was given to another party. It was unfortunate and did sour my experience. With that said I will always support this place as it is an amazing restaurant that I want to stay in business!

Adorable little cottage that has both indoor and outdoor seating. We loved the ambiance; there were…read moretons of rustic and farmhouse decorations. You order at the counter and they have a display of baked goods. There's alcoholic drinks as well as a whole menu of espresso/coffee. Their food was so good that I devoured everything and wasted no time taking a photo for Yelp (oops!). I got the Chokes on Eggs which I 10/10 recommend! The fried artichoke was unique and everything was so savory. My friends got Benedicts and everyone's plates were emptied.

I ordered the morning melt (breakfast sandwich) with a side of breakfast potatoes. I wasn't keen on any of the protein options offered, but they were able to add deli turkey instead to accommodate my preferences. The food came out pretty fast and all of my family members enjoyed what we ordered. This was a great accidental find!

Second visit to the kitchen, and with food this good, there will definitely be more in the future!…read moreWe visited on a very cold morning, and orders are placed outside on the porch before entering. That's fine in normal cold weather, but at 22 degrees the overhead heaters just don't quite cut it. I think this part of the experience could use a little revision. My wife had pancakes with vanilla syrup and sausage. I ordered the classic breakfast with eggs, grits, sausage, and toast. Everything was very flavorful. My only complaint was that my food was lukewarm. It seemed like my food may have been finished and sat for a few minutes while my wife's pancakes were completed. On a cold morning, I would have preferred a hotter meal, the grits weren't warm enough to melt the butter, and the toast was cold, so I didn't even attempt to butter it. That said, even with the temperature issue, the food was still very tasty, and given how cold it was outside, I'm willing to let it slide. Everything arrived quickly, and the restaurant itself is very quaint, set in an old home that is very clean. On our first visit, they offered chocolate chip cookies to go, and they were excellent! They didn't have any this time, but we'll be back again to try our luck. To those about to nosh, I salute you!!
