                                  My husband and I enjoyed another great meal last night. The service was excellent the food was excellent. The only thing negative I can say is their prices are very high. But all in all it was a great evening. We have tried to support all the Lake Lure restaurants as they try to rebuild our beautiful community. Good job guys.

                                  Exceptional experience. Food was delicious, beautifully presented and each plate was just the right amount. The Chef’s explanation of each dish contributed to the warm and welcome atmosphere. I chose the wine pairings at an additional price and it was well worth it. We will definitely be back for another special “Chef’s Dinner” and look forward to enjoying a meal off the regular menu as well.

                                  Even after dealing with hurricane- power outages, and all the challenges, they have reopened and it is as good as they ever were before. Our absolute favorite restaurant in all of Western North Carolina. Amazing service and the most incredible food ever.

                                  Appalachia has hit the perfect balance between fine dining and a casual, warm, friendly ambiance. The food was amazing and the service just right. You can’t beat Appalachia for the perfect mountain evening after a long day of travel and exploring. Great value as well.
