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!

Absolutely top-tier food! Don't be fooled by the unassuming signage and location: they just lend a…read morehole-in-the-wall, hidden treasure vibe to this lovely place. My husband and I came here for an anniversary dinner and were blown away by everything we ordered, especially the Korean Short Ribs, Fish and Chips, and Mango glazed Wings. The Calamari and Fried Green Tomatoes were also good, and though they were out of the beer I ordered, our excellent and personable server, Katie, suggested a similar one that may have been even more what I was craving! We hope to be back next time we're in the area, and will send anyone else their way. (Just a note: the restaurant is actually named "The Highlands Reserve Kitchen and Bar," not "Preserve.")

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.

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!!

Would've been better if the food had arrived warmer. I know some people like to eat their food at…read moreroom temp, but just not my preference. In my experience, if eggs "over easy" are cooked at too high a temp the whites become leathery. I know some people like that leathery white thing, but just not my preference. And no, the eggs being room temp didn't offset being cooked in too hot oil. The biscuit was doughy (maybe just undercooked) but I was able to eat around the edges of it and the edges were actually tasty. Sure would've liked to have had a whole biscuit tho! I know some people like to eat their biscuits at room temp, but just not my preference. I prefer them hot, I think they taste better. A hot biscuit also helps to melt the butter and at the risk of sounding like a prima donna the cold little bricks of butter I tried and failed to spread on it became a bit of a turnoff. The home fries seemed undercooked but I was able to eat a few. Nothing really special about them, just seemed like a potato chopped up and pushed around in grease. I did like the jam/jelly selection, nicely done. Some may wonder why I didn't complain or send this back. I had an appointment down the road and wouldn't have made that considering the initial order took 12 minutes from payment to plate landing on the table, so a re-do would've been??? no idea how long. Sometimes it's better to just tough it out. It wasn't busy, there was no line to order, about 6-8 patrons total in the restaurant. I was surprised at the wait, but part of that was my order getting crossed with someone else. The other guy who first got my plate shouted over to me that he didn't sneeze on my food, so that was nice.
