I recently ate at the Sunset Terrace at The Omni Grove Park Inn. We had 6 in our group. I ordered the Crab Cake Sandwich with the Side Salad. It was amazing. My husband ordered the Beef Short Rib Melt with fries. He said it was great as well. In addition to the wonderful meals, they have gorgeous views to enjoy from your table. After lunch we went inside and sat by the huge fireplaces in the Inn. A little pricey but you'll get a great meal and views to remember. read more

After a full day at the Biltmore, our family of five ended the evening at Sunset Terrace. The atmosphere is hard to beat; the dining area looks out over a stunning landscape of mountains and trees that really captures the beauty of Asheville. The service was truly the standout of our visit. Our server was fantastic--extremely attentive and professional, checking in on us frequently to ensure the timing of the meal was perfect. As for the meal, the food was decent and well-prepared, though it was relatively standard and nothing particularly special. For 2 appetizers, 5 entrées, and 2 glasses of wine, our total was ~$800. While the food was enjoyable and well-prepared, the price point is definitely more reflective of the elite location than the meal itself. It was a lovely evening with a breath taking view, though the price and the mediocre food makes it more of a "one-time" special occasion spot for us. read more

After seeing the magnificent view, I chose the Sunset Terrace to host my 25th birthday dinner. Upon arrival, I was immediately impressed by the breathtaking scenery and stunning architecture. Unfortunately, the service completely destroyed what should have been a special evening. Our server, Sana, provided some of the worst service I have ever experienced at a restaurant of this caliber. From the moment we were seated, she was inattentive, absent, and seemingly unconcerned with our table. Our food took over an hour and a half to arrive, while tables seated after us were continuously served before we were. Throughout this entire time, Sana was nowhere to be found, making it impossible to ask for updates or even basic assistance. When the food finally arrived nearly two hours later, the kitchen absolutely delivered -- the meal itself was delicious. However, any positive impression was immediately ruined yet again by Sana's behavior. Before several people at the table had even finished eating, she began removing plates and rushing us out without once offering boxes for untouched food. It felt incredibly disrespectful and dismissive, especially considering this was supposed to be a birthday celebration. At no point were we checked on properly, asked how the meal was, offered dessert, or treated with even the bare minimum level of hospitality you would expect from an establishment charging these prices. Sana's lack of attentiveness, professionalism, and basic customer care turned what should have been a memorable evening into a frustrating and disappointing experience. It is genuinely a shame that such a beautiful restaurant with incredible views and talented kitchen staff is overshadowed by service this careless and incompetent. For the price, this was easily one of the worst dining experiences I have had. I can confidently say I will not be returning, and I would strongly caution others before choosing to spend their evening here. read more

As part of our 30th anniversary tour, we stayed at Omni Grove Park Inn...and this was one of several restaurants they hosted. I tried to get reservations for Blueridge, but booked...so I opted for this place. I read the mixed reviews, so had low expectations... However, I was so pleasantly surprised!!! The place itself was basically an outdoor terrace restaurant, yet much bigger than anticipated...our wide-open patio-terrace table offered spectacular views! One thing to note is that since this is a wide-open outdoor restaurant with no curtains or window coverings, the weather needs to be optimal. We just happened to get lucky with an ideal 75-78 degree patio weather. Anyway, immediately, we were both so impressed with the view from our table (see pics!). In fact, we both felt that we'd love this place even if the foods or the service fell short. Surprisingly, the foods didn't disappoint (despite low expectations). As anticipated, things were pricey, but not as bad as we expected them to be. We started with their Crab Cake, which was such an innovative fusion version...even topped with Kimchi! DEE-Lish!! Then for our mains, my husband had the Sunset Spring Chicken and I had the Ricotta Gnocchi w/ Shrimp. Again, we both loved it!! Even the dessert...such a gorgeously delicious creation (forgot the fancy name!)! They even treated us to an additional free dessert, which we really enjoyed. Not only were all the foods delicious, they were beautifully presented as well. I even enjoyed their Bourbon, and my husband loved this Lager. We both loved EVERYTHING!! The only thing that fell short was the speed and attentiveness of service. It was quite slow. I could see how people might have deducted several stars from this. Still, we didn't even mind because we wanted to sit out in the gorgeous weather, and see the sunset...and just take our time. Truly, this was one of the most amazing outdoor dining scenes I've been to...and I've been to many. Spectacular!! Despite the slow service, I can't drop anything less than 5 stars...based on the view and the foods (and drinks)! Can't wait to revisit this place in future. I personally feel it's a must if you visit Asheville. read more

The Sunset Terrace is where I ate two meals while at the Grove Park Inn as it was the only place open for lunch. I had dinner here on arrival night and timed it for the sunset. I was placed at a high top and would not have made a reservation for that type of seating so the host didn't give me the table I reserved. The restaurant didn't have the lights on enough so it was dark and hard to read the menu. My waitress was very friendly and got me a tea right away. I ordered the filet mignon and got the mushrooms for a side. This came out to the table minutes after ordering so I felt that they were trying to rush me out. I didn't feel rushed by my waitress but the host staff that kept wandering by. My filet was cooked as ordered and the mushroom portion was generous. The filet was good and the plate came with two extra items from the chef, one was a pearl onion and I'm not sure what the other item was but I didn't like it. I was surprised that I liked the onion. I didn't have room for dessert but the waitress brought my a chocolate piece of cake. The strange part of feeling rushed when I arrived ended in a very long wait to get my check. It was at least an hour wait as the waitress was nowhere to be found. I watched others get seated, eat and depart while waiting. Lunch the next day, I had another friendly waitress and I went with the shrimp scampi. This version of it was not very good. The shrimp was great but there was too much pasta and not enough flavor. It was more creamy than an oil base. I wish I had gone with the salad again. I did have dessert and got the Coconut Tropical Cloud. It was the best part of the meal. Service was just ok as I wasn't even given a refill on my tea. There is room for improvement here. read more

Sunset Terrace was recommended to me and my husband by close friends who had visited Asheville a few weeks prior to our vacation. It definitely lived up to our expectations. The view is incredible but try to reserve your table before 7, if possible, before it gets dark outside. My husband ordered the Bone-In Ribeye with a side of carrots -- both of which were huge! I enjoyed the Sunset Spring Chicken that comes with brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. It was quite delicious, and the perfect portion size. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant offered a nice wine selection. I agree with other reviewers that you are paying for the view, but the food was delicious and the experience was wonderful. Highly recommend, and Bon Appétit! read more

Sunset Terrace - Sunset Spring Chicken. Delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Very pricey restaurant that has a fantastic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. My friend and I split the King salmon and the fried green tomatoes. I loved the fried green tomatoes, but the salmon was a bit over done for me. The portions were good because we both had enough to eat. Another dining companion had the scallops (over $50) and was shocked that it only included 3 scallops. The last person ordered the gnocchi and was happy with it. My friend had a glass of Malbec and enjoyed that very much. Water was refilled often, but our meals took a *very* long time to arrive, close to an hour! The view of the mountains made this worth the one time visit. read more

Ugh - just ugh. I made the rookie mistake of making a reservation here on recommendation of a friend without checking the yelp reviews first. By the time I got around to looking at yelp, it was too late to cancel the reservation without a fee, and we just decided to go. First of all - it is not blasted enough on the internet that there is a $30 parking fee for self parking, $40 for valet. May be worth it for those staying at the hotel, but for us to be there for less than 2.5 hours and pay such a steep fee was unexpected. Maybe we should have assumed, but still - I want people to know before they book that there is definitely a "hidden" fee for parking. We watched the sunset, which was beautiful, but as a lot of other reviews for this place have stated - only go to this place for the views, which honestly you don't need to eat at the restaurant to see the views. I would have been less offended by the parking fee if we had just gone to walk around the grounds and see the beautiful mountains. The food was subpar, the service was laughably bad, and by the time we were seated (sat down at 7:45 for our 8:15 reservation - we checked in early) it was so dark in the restaurant that half the tables had people using their flashlights just to be able to see what they were eating. I am in my mid-20s with 20/20 vision and couldn't see for the life of me. We ordered a burrata salad, the sunset chicken, the truffle fries, and the roasted carrots. The burrata was decent - honestly not a bad size burrata for the price. A waiter asked us if we wanted fresh cracked black pepper - to which we both responded yes. The waiter promptly spun around and disappeared for several minutes before slamming down the pepper grinder on the table on his way to another table. My partner said "wow, even olive garden has better service than this!" to which I couldn't agree more. The chicken was also decent but not anything to write home about. It came with mashed potatoes and fried brussels sprouts - both of which were mediocre. The truffle fries were exactly as you would expect. It is pretty hard to screw up truffle fries, so they are in the clear for this one. The roasted carrots were under-seasoned and over-salted which sounds like an oxymoron but is true. They were - like the rest of the meal - average at best. We ordered on the cheaper side because so many yelp reviews mentioned how incredibly overpriced this place is. I am so glad we didn't order a steak because based on the quality of food, I would have been so peeved to have ordered a $100+ dollar piece of meat to have it come out as average as all the other food we ate was. Also - not relevant to our order, but a noteworthy comment about the service - our waiter told us the game meat of the day was elk, but we overheard another waiter tell a nearby table that the game meat of the day was lamb. We will absolutely not be back, and do not recommend. Only 2 stars because of the views. read more

What can i say about this beautiful place?! The views are something out of this world and the service just as amazing! We were greeted as soon as we walked up the hostess area and were given a table with the most amazing view. I ordered the chicken and rice lunch entree and it was delicious. My rose spritz was also pretty yummy! Then we walked around the restaurant and took some pictures of the place. Parking was pretty easy too. You can valet or self park for a cheaper option. Btw, the restaurant gives you blankets when it's chilly outside. read more

Ignore all the other reviews and read this one. You should come here for the view, not for the food. The view is spectacular and worth booking a reservation. The food is mediocre and the chef could not properly cook my steak to medium rare. He had two chances. My advice, come here but order cheap. The salads look expensive, but they're massive. The steaks are wildly overpriced. I recommend ordering one entree and sides to share, if you're dining with a partner. If you can ask for Heather, she is a phenomenal waitress. She gave my wife and I the best service we've ever experienced. She knew my steak was overcooked the first round and that it was undercooked the second round. She was very attentive and extremely personable. I would dine here again just because I know she would offer my wife and I a very pleasant experience. The quality of the steak is good (prime), but they don't do anything worth $100 for a $30 cut of meat. No rosemary/thyme or any sense of basting that was done. Seems like a cut and dry salted steak with a decent sear. If you're into that, go ahead and spend $100. My wife absolutely loved her Chilean Sea Bass. It's is fluffy from sous vide and has a nice crunch with a good sear. It did not taste as fresh as I prefer (I'm from Florida coast/New England upbringing) I'm used to caught same day - never frozen. But, she said it was the best texture combination she's ever had. She's not easy to please, so this was a big deal. Get it with the chimichurri. The Mac and cheese was very good. The asparagus was good. The French onion soup was not very good at all. I didn't know it's something that could be messed up, but they found a way to make it bland. The coconut cloud dessert was very good!! The bread is also awful. It reminded me of the cheap rolls you buy frozen at a grocery store. I hope this helps someone approach this experience in the best way, so it's not tainted by the food/prices because the view and experience truly are spectacular. read more

Okay, so you wouldn't come here unless you were staying in the property. I am always very leery of hotel food, but I was a little impressed. And this because I was expecting food with no flavor. However, it was quite the opposite. Sometimes too much flavor. Like the honey mustard butter for the rolls. The rolls were already sweet, so the butter with the honey mustard combo was just not my preference. However, the salmon accompanied by bok choy, carrots and radishes was perfect! The broth that it cake with just took that flavor up several notches. Drench ever bite in that broth. That's where the salt is that you need. Service was the usual hotel service that's perfectly staffed. Several people tending to your needs. Ambiance was nice especially if going around sunset. Then it gets very dark and the little battery operated candle on the table is just for show, not light. It can get chilly on the terrace, they offer blankets for cover. $58 total bill, no cocktails, or apps, just good old fashion hotel tax. Service staff is diverse. Diners not so much. read more

I had an incredible time at the Sunset Terrace restaurant at the historic Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. All seating is outdoors on a covered patio overlooking the hotel's golf course and the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. The wait staff is exceptionally accommodating, helpful and willing to answer any questions and take pictures to commemorate special milestones for the patrons. While the dining area is covered to protect diners from rain, please be aware that the sun will most likely be in your eyes if you choose to dine in the early evening. The food at Sunset Terrace was truly exceptional. The generous portions ensured that we left the restaurant fully satisfied. As we were there to celebrate our anniversary, we were pleasantly surprised with complimentary champagne and a delightful dessert. If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary or feel like treating yourself, definitely visit the Sunset Terrace. read more

Our waiter was attentive and kind, very descriptive about the menu and honest. The food was just as he described. I LOVED my salad. His steak was delicious. Tender and flavorful.

Wow, the server makes all the difference. The venue is beautiful, the views are wonderful, however the contrast in service was HUGE from one night to the next. My mind was blown. We ate at the Sunset Terrace on two separate nights of our vacation. Monday Night - 2 stars. Didn't want to go back. The server had the attention span of a toddler. Unfortunately, it was my birthday dinner and she forgot that also. I had the filet and my spouse had the salmon, the server mixed up our temperature. The French Onion Soup is a definite pass. Tuesday Night- 5 stars. We had the Ricotta Gnocchi and the Server recommended adding shrimp and it was delicious. We skipped the appetizer so we could order dessert and had the Nutella Peanut Butter Bar. The experience was near perfect. To be honest, I never knew how important a great server meant until this trip. read more

Hi! Came here for to celebrate my birthday! It was left in the notes and the server "Brad" had to check ids for drinks. My birthday was not mentioned once but we did overhear him talking to the table next to us about their anniversary and seeming very excited. Brad took our order and we did not see him up until the time that we asked for the check. We had planned on ordering more drinks and food but again Brad was no where to be seen...at least for our table. However we did see him giving great service to every other table around us which was odd. I ordered a steak which was very good but when he dropped off the nice he threw it on the table and walked away??? He also did the same with our ids. There were also snarky comments made in passing such as "you're killing it" while we are eating? When we went to leave I went to say have a nice night to him but he turned his back towards the other servers and ignored us. Just want to reiterate great food, great atmosphere, but terrible service! #GoHomeBrad read more

The views at this restaurant are incredible. The drinks served are unique and delicious. The food was fresh and flavorful, however, the service was disappointing. I went to Asheville on a bachelorette trip and we booked a 4:30 PM reservation knowing we wanted to order a few cocktails and appetizers together. We were sat by one person, and then greeted our server, 10 minutes later third person took over the table. After ordering a bottle of wine for the table and 5 cocktails, we told our server we were going to be doing appetizers as a group. She then went to the service station (which was 5 feet away) and began arguing with the original server who had our table and accused him of "taking away her tip" by asking to have her take our table over. They got into a pretty obvious heated discussion with her pointing over her shoulder at us. (For consideration and hope for future growth I will not mention either name in this review). We never informed the first waiter that we were doing apps and cocktails, so the apparent fight over our table was disheartening to say the least. I recognize that this restaurant sells entrees for over $100 each- and our waitress probably expected a $500 tip from our table, but it was really discouraging to be so unwelcome on the terrace. Since we had a large group we picked the earliest dining time, and wanted to make the day special for the bride. Instead, we felt like an inconvenience and an unwelcome presence. On top of this, we ordered a Riesling from Germany and originally our server came to the table with a bottle from Washington State. When we pointed out (before it was opened) that it was the wrong bottle- the waitress rolled her eyes. The food however was really good. The burrata salad may be one of the best burrata experiences I have had, and the shrimp cocktail was fresh and beautifully presented. If you go for drinks and appetizers I would order at the bar and hope there is a place available to sit. After this experience, I would not want to return to the restaurant. read more

Beautiful view, no doubt. But our waitress, Kim, made us feel rushed from the start. "So...are you ready to order?, so...have you decided on what you're having for dinner?" We had just ordered drinks and an appetizer. The bread hadn't even come out yet. I understand that this is a scenic spot but that's no way to treat hotel guests. Or anybody. read more

As long as you're willing to pay for the entire experience, it's a really cool place to have a good meal. The chicken and rice entree was very good. Sarah, our server was attentive and very friendly.

When went Sunday, on a clear 65° day. I'm already planning a return to see a full dusk sky from that balcony. You got me with the view, and kept me with the food and service. Great place for couples to dine. I'll be back for sure. read more

Pros: beautiful view, pleasant servers, decent drinks Cons: got a bad vibe from the hosts, food is mediocre, high price tag This was the place I was most excited to visit during our trip to Asheville. We arrived 30 minutes early, and were told we'd have to wait until our reservation time, which was fine. We sat in the lounge and ordered some drinks. One of them was a Coffee Old Fashioned from their menu, but we received a regular old fashioned instead. I'm not sure what we were charged for as our receipt wasn't itemized. The regular margarita was very good, and our waitress, Emma, was pleasant. We go back to the host stand as it is now our reserved time, and are told that they are running behind and we may have to wait longer. Mind you, there are glass doors to the seating area, and there are multiple open two-tops within a mostly empty dining area. I'm wondering how reservations are prioritized here, and whether being a guest at the inn puts you in a prioritized spot. Anyway, after scouring over their seating chart, they decide where to put us. The host huffs and seems annoyed as he walks us past multiple empty tables and squeeze us into a high top table in the corner inches from the server station. Here our server was awesome. We had a couple more drinks, including a not-so-good mule (we didn't have luck with their specialty cocktails). We ordered the pork belly appetizer which was phenomenal. We then waited what felt like an extremely long time for a medium salmon and a rare NY strip. The steak was ok, but pretty bland, and definitely more of a medium. The salmon was over-salted and cooked well. We also go three sides: creamy greens, mac and cheese and dauphinoise potatoes. None were extraordinary, but the potatoes were the best of the three. We declined dessert. Perhaps my expectations were too high going in, but I did not feel the experience matched the price. We don't mind paying for a great meal and a great time, but it just didn't work out for us here. read more

I love my dish of maybe cod, Béarnaise sauce and potatoes. We were a large party of 12 and had a table at the end of the patio. We were there from 5-7pm. The sun roasted us. Everyone was over heating as the sun set on the side and there was not shade, no fan and no protection from it. They really need a shade they can lower for when the sun hits the tables directly. This was late July so the sun was hot. We asked the restaurant for a fan and they had none. One person in our party had the shrimp scampi and it was wildly salty to the point it was inedible. Our waitress was great. The view is fabulous and the hotel is super cool. If they could just had a sun screen we would have been 1000x times happier. read more

Beautiful setting and decent food. You go here knowing that you are paying for the setting. Even on a cloudy evening, the view overlooking the grounds and downtown Asheville in the distance is incredible. 5+/5 The food was pretty decent, but not the same quality I would expect for a similar price elsewhere in a different setting. The wedge salad was very good. The crabcake struck me as strange. It was very soft and covered in a mild kimchi. Not my preference. We had scallops, which were very good, sea bass that was cooked perfectly but woefully underseasoned, and a side of whipped potatoes that were creamy but also lacking in salt. The service was appropriately attentive but not warm. If you are a foodie only looking for foodie things, this isn't the place. There are many of those places in Asheville. If you are looking for dinner with a fabulous view, this is a good option. read more

We came to Asheville to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We could go to Sunset Terrace before and knew that we really want to come back again. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and it was pretty cloudy but we had a great view of the clouds and rain. Lol but the service we received in the food that we got definitely made up for the sad weather. We started out with shrimp and dumpling appetizer. It sounds so simple but it was phenomenal. The dumplings were actually more like flat disks that sort of tasted like gnocchi. It was in a wonderful broth and we use the bread to soak it up. My husband ordered the venison steak with sautéed mushrooms and he was blown away at how wonderful it was. The venison was perfectly cooked And even I enjoyed it, and normally I do not like venison that much. When we first came in I could smell scallops from the table across from us. There were three ladies and all three of them had ordered the seared scallops entrée. There were three large scallops that were expertly seared in place to top a cauliflower slaw and pea purée. I really enjoyed the entire entrée. The slaw had a slight curry taste to it. The pea purée was simple but elegant. Overall the flavors all melted together and was perfection. For dessert we ordered the Apple crumble with the ice cream on the side. Normally the ice cream is served on top with a white chocolate thin strip placed on top of that. But since there was no ice cream on top they just laid that white chocolate strip on top. I just do not prefer ice cream on my crumble so we had it served on the side. Crumble was sweet but not overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. read more
