I ordered the crab cake sandwich with a somewhat local beer (North Carolina). The flavor and texture were perfect! The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was in a great old downtown building. If you are in the area, I recommend giving this place a try. There is even a beautiful park across the street, so picnic there is always an option.

Came in for restaurant week, but decided to order off the main menu. The results were mixed for us…read more The salmon dip appetizer was a fun twist on the more traditional trout or whitefish more frequently found in fish dips. The vichyssoise was a disappointment. The flavor was ok, but it was a thin bowl of broth rather than a creamy textural soup that I expected in a vichyssoise. It was also served with table spoons, not soup spoons, which made it difficult to eat (maybe a straw would have been better). My husband had the steak, which was perfectly cooked. I ordered the pasta bourguignon. If it hadn't been listed on the menu, I wouldn't have known there was beef in the pasta. I saw and tasted none. Cocktails were delicious and well crafted. The ambience pleasant as we walked in, and it wasn't too crowded yet as we had an early reservation. However we were seated in the back, in an alcove with 3 tables in it. The alcove was like an echo chamber. With only one couple near us and a half full restaurant, all the sounds were so enhanced in the alcove that we could barely hear each other. That area really needs curtains or fabric on the walls to dampen the sound effects. It was really unpleasant. Not writing Rotie off. Other members of my party enjoyed their entrees, particularly the salmon. I may have just chosen poorly that night.

Hidden Gem Alert…read more Some places spend millions trying to manufacture "authentic." The Open Door at Alley's Ol' Store apparently skipped that meeting and just kept being authentic. The building looks exactly like what you'd hope to stumble across while wandering the North Georgia mountains. Rustic. Colorful. Cozy. The kind of place that makes you instinctively slow down because you know there's probably something interesting inside. Parking is a bit of a scavenger hunt, but that's part of the adventure. If you're expecting a six-level parking garage with valet service, you've made several wrong turns. The staff immediately made us feel like we'd wandered into Papaw's store and the grandkids were helping out for the afternoon. Two young ladies were running the place, one at the register and one making sandwiches. They weren't reciting a corporate script or trying to upsell me a rewards program. They were just genuinely friendly people who actually seemed happy we stopped in. Imagine that. This isn't a restaurant pretending to be a country store. It is a country store. There's no fancy dining room either. You can eat on the little front porch if it's available, but we grabbed our sandwiches and walked across the street to the riverside park. Honestly, I can't think of many lunches that end with eating beside a mountain river and making a few casts with a fishing rod before heading down the road. That's hard to beat. Now let's talk sandwiches. Three of us ordered the Harvest. Presentation? Maybe a 7 out of 10. Nobody is arranging edible flowers with tweezers back there. It's toasted store-bought bread filled with ingredients that simply belong together. Sometimes food doesn't need to perform gymnastics. It just needs to taste good. And it did. Every bite reminded me that somewhere along the way we've confused "artisan presentation" with "good cooking." The Harvest isn't trying to become internet famous. It's just quietly being delicious. My brother ordered the meatloaf sandwich, and if he wasn't already family, I probably would've stolen half of it. He declared it fantastic with exactly the right amount of condiments. The grandkids inhaled their grilled cheese and ham & cheese without a single negotiation, which every parent knows is basically a Michelin star. One thing that really caught my attention was the steady parade of locals coming in for takeout. That's the kind of review you can't fake. Locals vote with their wallets every day, and this place clearly keeps getting elected. Here's another tip: don't skip the neighboring art gallery. My daughter wandered in and came back smiling. The manager wasn't just selling artwork. She was telling stories. She explained the history of the area, how it shaped the artists, and why certain pieces existed. You could tell she genuinely loved what she was talking about. That's becoming a rare commodity these days. By the time we left, I realized something. The Open Door doesn't have the polish of a big destination restaurant. It doesn't need dramatic plating, twelve-word menu descriptions, or foam strategically placed with tweezers. It has something much harder to create. Character. If you're driving through Lakemont, call ahead if you're in a hurry. If you're not, browse the store, visit the gallery, grab a sandwich, walk across to the river, and stay awhile. Some places feed your stomach. Places like this feed your trip. That's the definition of a hidden gem.
