The restaurant is underneath with a look view of part of the vineyard. We asked and it's only been open a couple of years. I had Shakshuka and have to say it was as good if not better than anything I've had in the middle east! I'm sure most people that eat here, are staying at the hotel. The waitress was surprised when we said we weren't. Don't let that stop you, it's a beautiful setting with great food. Helpful hint: Wine tastings don't start until noon. So, if you want to do that plan for a later breakfast.

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.

I was delighted by the white sangria which was cold and refreshing. I didn't ask what was in it (silly me) but it tasted like Chardonnay. The atmosphere was super relaxing. I sat back in a big, comfy chair, the kind you sink down into, and sipped my sangria. There were two servers running the place and keeping up other the many other patrons that stopped by. Super nice and got the job done well!

The selection to pick from is massive, but they are there to help you pick the right one for you.

In short order, they have learned our likes and dislikes and never to fail to guide us to old and new favorites. Weekly tastings open you up to new horizons and provide a chance to taste some seriously great wines without having to spring for a bottle that is above your average spend. Then again, Graddie and Caleb also have a way to seek and find great values. A bonus is that they offer food delivered from Table 31 next door, which is always excellent and tasty. The deviled eggs, Korean Cauliflower, French Dip and French Fries (crispy until the last bite) are always good as is the rest of their menu. I've had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed -- oh, I forgot to mention the Nashville Hot Chicken... If you haven't been to this cozy, intimate shop with a large patio area, you owe yours a treat. Cheers!

However, Service was extremely slow. Chicken was visibly burnt and dry, fettuccine pasta had no flavor whatsoever. We sent back a drink that was made wrong and told the server we will just stick with water. However when we got the bill the drink was still on there. The most confusing part was that the place wasn't even that busy so the poor service was perplexing. Hopefully this review saves someone else from the same bad experience.

The combination of attentive service, high-quality steaks, and a standout bourbon selection makes it a spot worth seeking out in Valdese.[1][2][3] ## Service and Hospitality Austin provided friendly, knowledgeable service, with spot-on recommendations and consistent follow-up throughout the meal, which really elevated the evening. The staff quickly seated the party of four and acknowledged the celebration for the wife's birthday, helping the night feel special from the start. When one filet needed a bit more sear, the owner personally stepped in, oversaw the re-fire, and had it returned to the table cooked perfectly. That level of ownership and responsiveness showed real commitment to **hospitality**. ## Food and Preparation Entrées arrived beautifully plated and cooked to appropriate temperatures, which is especially important at a butcher-driven concept known for its meats. The corrected filet came back with the ideal sear and doneness, reinforcing confidence in the kitchen's skill.[2][1] Portioning and presentation aligned with expectations for a farm-to-table steakhouse, highlighting the quality of their locally sourced meats.[3][1] ## Bourbon Library The bourbon library is a major highlight, offering an impressive selection of hard-to-find bottles that adds a distinctive draw for whiskey lovers. It pairs perfectly with their meat-focused menu and makes Highlands Butchery feel like a destination, not just a neighborhood spot.[4][1][2] Having such depth behind the bar also supports Austin's recommendations, allowing guests to explore pours they may not encounter elsewhere. ## Atmosphere and Noise The only real drawback of the evening was the room volume, which made conversation a bit challenging at times. Given how popular and lively the space can be, some additional noise baffles or acoustic treatments could help deaden the sound and make the dining room more comfortable without losing the energetic vibe. With that one improvement, this experience would easily move from a 4.5 to a full 5 out of 5, especially given the strength of the service, food, and bourbon program!
