    We came in after our Biltmore tour for our anniversary. We had Rob for our server who was phenomenal and treated us so well. Down to personality, attentiveness and professionalism we were very impressed. Thank you so much rob and to bistro for having great taste in service!

    Stopped here for a Saturday night meal. Good is limited on the estate, but looking at the menu walking out of the winery- it was worth a shot. We ordered drinks and a couple of appetizers - sharing the bruschetta and Caesar salad, along with the French onion soup. The bruschetta was good - on focaccia bread rather than the usual slices of Italian loaf- which added an additional flavor level and it was good. The arugula spinach salad was also good in the middle. Caesar salad was standard, and the French onion soup was very good - onions were cooked down and it had a very deliberate taste to it. For my meal I ordered the ribeye which came with squash and a sweet potato purée underneath. I would have liked to have more of the purée, it was more of a garnish than a side dish to the meal. Steak was cooked properly medium. We shared the blackberry cheesecake for dessert which was cut in bar form rather than a slice - which I really liked. Felt like I got a proper portion of it. Overall, very good - price point a little higher than expected but still very good.

    Dessert- all gluten free, atop a raspberry puree (that I may or may not have licked clean from the plate it was so good)

    If you want high quality, carefully constructed meals for a reasonable price, look no further than the Bistro! We originally went to the restaurant next door, but it had too up-tight a vibe, whereas this place had higher ceilings, better lighting, and an overall more cozy aesthetic. We did the 3-course meal option for lunch: Appetizer: a whipped creamy salmon dip for my side of GLUTEN FREE TOAST (the server was VERY accommodating to my gluten sensitivity and made substitutions without making me pay extra, like most restaurants do) Main: steak frites with a whipped herb butter and fries- cooked to perfection at medium rare, immensely juicy and not too chewy like steak w/ frites usually is Dessert: assortment of GLUTEN FREE tarts, chocolate truffles, and a mini key lime pie atop a raspberry puree. absolutely GORGEOUS, and made for fantastic photos ahah.

    Food is spectacular--Our Caesar salad opened the evening on a promising note--lovely visible shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese on a well dressed salad. P.E.I. Mussels, a delightful seafood melange with , even more so after our waitress re-seated us since there was a large group of a dozen people shrieking as if they were in their living room! I would love to go back again

    Atmosphere is great, manager great, but that cannot cook a proper egg. Maybe try the shrimp and grits or the burger. The farm house breakfast was again improperly cooked.

    French Onion Soup

    Theeeee BEST French onion soup! Wonderful gracious service from all their staff!!! Excellent restaurant at the Biltmore Estate Antler Village across from the wine shop.

    trout
    Avery L.

    got the trout with parisian gnocchi, loved the flavor of the trout and came with a really flavorful broth. the gnocchi had a unique texture/flavor, not like potato gnocchi you'd usually get at a restaurant. only thing i didn't love is that i only got about 4 pieces of gnocchi, i understand it's a side dish but it still seemed like a very small amount. very quiet and peaceful environment, server was nice and helpful with any questions.

    Excellent service, fantastic food. We had a corner booth and it was very private. Our server was helpful and polite, she always had a smile on her face! The trout was delicious!!!

We didn't want anything too formal. My wife and I shared some apps and salad. We flittered away the time talking, people watching, and deciding what wine to drink and what to order next on the menu. We had a great time. Our burrata app was super fresh tasting, soft and mild. The candied pecans, lettuce and tomatoes gave it just enough punch of flavor. We could've just kept ordering that, it was so good. But, our strawberry salad with grilled chicken was fresh, bright and tasty addition to our afternoon of relaxed eating. We finished of our time with a strawberry coconut cake. The sponge cake was moist and mild. The layers of cream in between the cake layers were soft and creamy. The frosting with coconut on top was also mild; alittle more taste than whipped cream, but not too sugary. You could see the coconut on top, but it didn't overpower the dish. Overall, a great place to hang out and get comfort food. We are definitely going back for more.

However, we were lucky enough to find two wonderful seats at the bar. We were greeted by a master bartender (Ian) who was accommodating and so informative. We started with the cheese board, so flavorful and plentiful perfect light starter. We also ordered our favorite red wine (the Hunt) oaky, dry and yet a tasty of deep cherry. Our dinner did not disappoint we had the filet and green bean casserole - we shared. Loved every perfectly curated bite. We highly recommend the Village Social for a glass of wine and cheese or lunch/dinner.

She also made dessert super special and was kind and attentive the whole meal! The food was all phenomenal, I couldn't believe it was all gluten free. It felt very fresh due to the farm to table nature of the restaraunt. We started with the cheddar biscuits, which were a hit.

I was in communication with Lindsay for over four months while exploring options for hosting my wedding dinner in their private dining space. Out of more than 10 venues and vendors we considered, she was the only one who consistently showed up with prompt, thoughtful, and genuinely kind communication. Every question I had--no matter how detailed or repetitive--was answered with patience and care. She made herself available through all my moments of uncertainty, which, as any out-of-state bride can attest, is invaluable. When we finally visited in person, Lindsay went above and beyond by accommodating us outside of regular scheduling. Her attentiveness and warmth never wavered. Planning a wedding from afar can feel overwhelming, but having someone like her in your corner brings a level of reassurance that cannot be overstated. Dinner itself was nothing short of exceptional. We were served by Tennille, who elevated the entire experience. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. Every dish was presented with intention, and she took the time to walk us through ingredients , local farm sourced education and preparation in a way that made the meal feel curated and special. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guest experience--it shows in every interaction. After dinner, we visited their second location to explore their private dining options. There, we met Pierre, who matched the same level of service and hospitality. He went out of his way to not only show us the space, but also recommend local after-dinner spots that could enhance the overall experience for our bridal party. That level of thoughtfulness and big-picture thinking is rare. Bottom line: this team understands that they're not just serving food--they're creating experiences. If you're looking for a venue that delivers on service, communication, and unforgettable dining, this is it.

We walked in without a reservation, sat down, and had the kind of long, unhurried dinner that feels increasingly rare. Nobody rushed us. They let us share plates without hesitation. The menu is billed as New American, and that's the right phrase for it -- genuinely eclectic, pulling from Spanish, French bistro, and Southern influences without committing to any one of them. The pork chop was excellent. The grilled carrots were genuinely memorable. The green salad was simple and well done. Our waiter recommended a wine that we were pleased with, and even offered a tasting. The wine list is deep for a room this size, and the cocktail list looks the same. Music was at that sweet-spot volume where you can hear your conversation partner and still hear the song. You could bring your parents, or come on a date, it works either way. Some farm-to-table places feel pretentious; this one doesn't. They don't make you feel dumb for not knowing every local distributor. One small gripe: a 3% "kitchen staff fee" printed on the back of the menu. I'm all for paying the kitchen, but I'd rather see it built into the prices up front. 4.7 Stars. What would push it to a solid five stars: drop the hidden fee and bake it into the menu prices. That's genuinely the only thing standing between this and a perfect night out.
