    Wonderful meal as always. Tonight we did the prix fix for the Christmas Candlelight tour. Worth every penny and they even packaged our leftovers and kept them for us until we finished the tour. Always the best service and so fun to eat in the stables!

    We had a lovely experience! It was rushed because we had tickets for an event and messed up our timing. Although no fault of the staffs, they were kind and understanding when we had to leave immediately after eating. Our food was insanely good….so so so good. I wish I had ordered more scallops. My husband was blown away with the swordfish. Absolutely top 10 meals of our lifetime. We will be back! Asheville and WNC still need us. We are thankful to come and support this beautiful place!

    Had the fried brussel sprouts and shrimp & grits. Both were great. They have several 2 tops, but they were spaced nicely so you didn’t feel like you were having dinner with the table next to you or that they were part of your conversation. Would go back and recommend it.

    We loved our meal today at the Blue Ridge! Had a beautiful window seat to enjoy the view and our waiter Derrick was attentive and helpful. There wasn’t any fruit on the menu today but he went to the kitchen and brought a small plate to accompany my salad. He was present when needed without hovering and out drink and coffee stayed full without asking. Food quality and selection always spot on, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience today to start off the new year! Say Yes to Blue Ridge at Grove Park!
