Restaurants near Rural Retreat Lake

From the start the experience was so good! The setting of the restaurant overlooking the vineyard and beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains was worth the trip! Then the friendly staff greeted us and we were at our perfectly appointed table within minutes. The dining areas are rustic and beautiful. Our server, Sadie was friendly and knowledgeable with a response for every question making it obvious that she not only eats but enjoys the food there. Her recommendation was on point! She was nice and funny. The food was great! We had 2 appetizers, the cheese balls and mussels, cooked to perfection! I had the blackened salmon and he had the cheeseburger-also cooked to perfection! After we enjoyed their 2 chocolate desserts, they were okay. I had the soup of the day also but I don’t remember what it was-it was OUTSTANDING! We both enjoyed “Our DogBlue” as our wine choice-a favorite!

My wife and I had dinner to celebrate her birthday. Dinner was delicious, service was exceptional and the setting was perfect This was our first time here but won’t be the last

Lovely venue …glad I had made reservations. Lunch was good but given name of restaurant, I was surprised @ menu choices (nothing French?). There were 4 of us and 1 was not a wine drinker so it was nice that they had beer on the menu. We enjoyed it & will go back.

Outstanding ambience. Nicely spaced tables. Good menu choices, not expensive. Good food. The server was good but need better training.

Wonderful ambiance, great staff. Delicious food. Limited menu, but what we had was good. Very pleasant evening. We love this hotel and have eaten here a half dozen times over the years. Each time it’s different! But always a pleasant, lovely experience.
