Restaurants near Richland Balsam

Extremely delicious small plates to share! I can’t wait to go back and try some more. Staff was efficient and we were seated well before our reservation time. A good experience!

Great food and ambience -- relaxing and friendly staff.

One of the very best dining experiences offered in Western North Carolina in the casino environment, but you really feel like you’re in an Italian dining Café and total attention is given to you very individualized exceptionally good food and great wines. I’ve been going to the brio now for some 15 years. I love it.

I had the flounder sandwich and it was excellent. The room was decorated and very appealing and inviting with a fire and wonderful view of the grounds. There is a patio and plan to visit in the spring and sit outside. Everything was well done and definitely recommend. A beautiful drive through Cruso from Waynesville.

We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation and notified the desk. It was no more than three minutes when they called my name. They sat us in a booth, which my husband prefers. That was a plus, and the waitress, Taylor, came quickly to get our drink orders and appetizers. When she returned, we had not decided on our main course, so she assured us that it was fine; she’d check back. As soon as we laid the menus down, she was back. The orders were placed; I ordered the crusted sea bass, asparagus; he ordered, the stuffed chicken and asparagus. Taylor asked if we wanted to place one instead of two since it was a family portion. We really appreciated that bit of information. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and very tasty. The asparagus was awesome! Portions are ample to eat. Hubby was able to bring some back to the room. The Pepsi product was fresh and did not water down while waiting for dinner or throughout. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!
