Staff were very knowledgeable, and wonderfully courteous. Location is quaint and welcoming, though out-of-the-way unless you're vacationing or live in the area. But for us ... well worth the hours trek through the mountains on a hot summer's day.

It's such a beautiful and peaceful space to dine, especially with the amazing Spring and Fall temps they get there. We were with a party of 6 (plus a baby), and walked up without a reservation a bit late in the evening. We figured we'd try it and see if we could get in if it wasn't too late, and luckily enough, the hostess was kind enough to make it happen for us! The menu actually has a lot of variety for a wine garden - drinks and food wise. I started with the French onion soup and it was delicious. The Caesar salad was also quite yummy, but the meatloaf was the showstopper of the night! I am still dreaming of it now, and wish I could replicate it myself because it was that good and memorable! For dessert, I ordered the affogato which is their house made vanilla bean ice cream with an espresso shot and it was the perfect ending to the night! Our server was so attentive and kind, and constantly checked in on us and cleared our plates since the tables are a bit on the smaller side. I had an excellent experience all around!

(That is called a blessing in disguise!) When looking at the menu we didn't recognize any of the wines and we asked what they had close enough to a Cabernet that was very smooth - without a bite. For the first time in our lives we tried to Croatian red which is absolutely delicious!!! The chef made a charcuterie board (yummies from all local areas and farms) and the fact that it pleased my husband speaks volumes. (He is not a charcuterie man.) Yet He loved every item on the board as well as the Croatian wine. We Highly recommend this little gem of a place --it's small, intimate, cozy and when you look around filled with tons of history! The staff are welcoming & friendly which is always a HUGE plus!! The "after" charcuterie board photo speaks volumes as this is THE FIRST TIME ordering a charcuterie board where we ever ate it ALL!!

The restaurant is located on the main street that runs through the town making it easy to find. Be sure to make a reservation as it fills up quickly. The staff we encountered during both visits were friendly and professional. The food was exceptional each visit. The eggplant parmigiana starter was tender and so flavorful. Three of the four of us ordered it on the second visit as it was that good. The beef carpaccio and meatball starter were also enjoyed. For entrees we had the trout Frances, stuffed halibut special, the gnocchi special, the mushroom tortellini and the linguine pescatore. All dishes were delcious while the trout Frances, mushroom tortellini and linguine pescatore were our favorites. It is worth mentioning their gnocchi could not have been better prepared as it was like a fluffy pillow as gnocchi should be. Had it been paired with the truffle sauce from the mushroom tortellini then it would have been perfection. For dessert, we sampled several ice creams, sorbets, the tiramisu and the Blueberry Coconut Layered cake. The raspberry sorbet and cappuccino Oreo gelato were the fan favorites for the dessert course. Ristorante Paoletti receives our highest recommendation as it is on point with offering a positive atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food.

Everything about the restaurant was so special, amazing location for a sunset dinner, perched high above the Blue Ridge Mountains - amazing views. The best thing is if you stay at the Skyline Lodge, it's just steps away from your room and that comes in super handy when it's brunch time! We were fortunate enough to enjoy these two meals; dinner & brunch with our kids (who are foodies too) and they are now huge fans of Oak Steakhouse. They said it was the best steak they ever had, you can't go wrong with the Filet! The menu is not huge but really has all of the dishes you would want for an amazing dinner. Plenty of options, even if you don't eat steak. Amazing sides to accompany each dish and you must start with the bread, which is made in-house. I went with a dish I have not tried before and it did not disappoint, Venison Wellington while my wife tried the trout. I will let the photos do the talking. They also pour an amazing espresso martini by the way and to finish you have to try the chocolate cake, trust me! We also want to give a shot out to all of the staff and servers; their attention to detail and overall service was outstanding! Seems to be the case at all Indigo Road establishments, they really know hospitality. We cannot recommend Oak Steakhouse enough, even if you're not staying there but in the Highlands of NC make sure you give them a visit.

Our server was very friendly and (unprompted) comped our bread service after a lengthy delay. Once received, the bread was amazing and went nicely with my lettuce wedge salad. The entrees were excellent as well, with my wife loving her risotto and my steak frites being top notch with fork-tender beef and amazing truffle fries. The portions are generous so to-go bags are a common sight. Oak is not inexpensive, but clearly the value is there if you are looking for a proper steakhouse experience near Highlands.

It was good so I had a second glass- on the receipt when we were paying I noticed that the wine was twice the price as the listed silver ghost. Which is fine, good wine is worth the price, but shouldn't you notify the customer that it's double the price? $20 a glass just feels like something that should be mentioned. Ordered a charcuterie board and was definitely disappointed. I've honestly never seen ritz crackers on a charcuterie board before. It did have some other type of crackers as well but not many. The cheeses were horrible. There was some sort of delicious pepper jam but nothing to dip/mix it with like goat cheese or even a brie. Fruit was quite old. Service was just dreadfully slow and inattentive. Plenty of servers working, not many customers, yet impossible to order something. Eventually we gave up, paid and left. Had to find somewhere else to eat. This might be a "locals only" place- perhaps the regulars get better service? We're new here but we will continue to explore other places.
