    BlackBerry lemon drop martini

    The waitstaff was so kind, we sat outside since it wasn't too cold. Even being sat outside with a packed house the service was top tier. I highly recommend a lemon drop martini! The steak was delicious and it the burgers were beyond fresh and amazing! Wonderful surrounding, lovely staff, and even better food. Highly recommend!

    Raw meat that was supposed to be Medium Rare. Cold meat throughout.

    Bad food, bad staff and the environment needs a lot of work. This is a new restaurant that should have things better figured out by now. We were met by a teenage hostess who didn't really have a grasp on how seating works in a sit-down restaurant. We waited 30 minutes to be sat which was not really a problem but there is not really anywhere to wait. The space is far too small for the amount of tables they have pushed inside and we had a high chair pushed up next to us from the table beside us. We couldn't hear anyone at our table unless we all but yelled at each other. Our waitress never returned to our table after delivery of food to ask how the food was or to fill our drinks. We had to ask a different waitress for napkins. We finally left and went to a different restaurant to eat. Doubtful that we will ever return.

    Amazing fresh sustainability raised meat! I had a delicious burger with a Gouda cheese sauce and the loaded cheesy ranch potatoes. Definitely a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner. My server was attentive and the food didn't take very long.

    This is a sweet addition to Valdese. Not only do you get to eat great food there but they offer a huge selection of fresh meat you can take home. Nice bar area with a great variety . Lindsey is so welcoming and creates an amazing experience.

    The food is always amazing here! The service is top notch. I had their weekly special burger and others in my party had steak. This is our favorite place to eat. I highly recommend this restaurant. They also have a top of the line bar and butchery shop.

    Wings, Ranch Potatoes, Old Fashioned, and my wife got a burger.

    Amazing. One of my absolute favorite places in all of Lake Lure. I come here every time I'm in…read moretown and it never, ever disappoints!! It's incredible what the owner has done with the place, and the food is awesome. I'm not sure why I'm even writing this review, I'd really rather keep this place quiet and have it all to myself.... But it deserves the five stars.

    The location is incredibly quaint--tucked into a cute, woodsy area around Lake Laura. You can't…read moreactually see the lake from the restaurant, but the whole setting still feels peaceful and charming. Today there was even a puppy there, Miguel, who was the sweetest little host/co-host. The hostess was great too--super friendly, patient with all my questions, and just welcoming overall. Another woman, maybe a local or another staff member, also chatted with me while I was waiting, which made the whole experience feel even warmer. The food was outstanding. I ordered the salmon and it was cooked to perfection. The rice was fantastic, the salad was delicious, and everything on the plate just hit. I also had the seasonal apple cider margarita, which was phenomenal. They even offered me a free dessert--maybe extras from an event the day before--but it was such a thoughtful touch. Before heading out, I grabbed two bottles of wine to go (they had a special) and took a glass of wine to enjoy in one of their outdoor areas. The grounds are very garden-forward. I visited in the fall, so the foliage wasn't at its peak, but the property is undeniably gorgeous. They have fire pits and outdoor heaters everywhere. I took my glass of wine to the back and sat on a swing--the hostess actually recommended it--and it was the perfect little moment. This is where things got a bit odd: once I moved outside, I didn't really feel acknowledged anymore. Maybe because I didn't have a server at that point, but when I left, there was no "Have a good day," which felt a little off after such a great experience. Still, it doesn't outweigh everything else. Overall, I'll definitely be back. Food: 10/10. Vibes: 10/10. I just wish my exit had felt a bit more appreciated--but it is what it is. Loved this place.
