                                  Amazing as always. Atmosphere is over the top. Food (sea bass and husband had blackened shrimp) was delicious...as good or better than the fine restaurants in Charleston. Great cocktails and wine too.

                                  We were there the day after Christmas. Our family was together for the first time in far too long. We were celebrating not only the holidays, but also wrapping up a 30-year career as well as closing out a challenging health year. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. While the entrees were excellent {Pork Chop, Short Rib, Hangar Steak & Stuffed Trout}, the sides were spectacular! Chef stopped by our table and, when my husband raved about the succotash, mentioned that it took an hour and a half to create. We noted and appreciated the attention to every course!

                                  The Wedge salads,Beef short ribs, Blackened NC Shrimp, and Gemelli (Duck Confit) were especially good. Excellent (but a bit pricy) mixed drinks as well. Service was outstanding.

                                  Delighted to see Appalachia open after the storm! Everything was great. Impeccable wait staff, beautiful surroundings, delicious food and drinks! With the rustic decor dressed up for the holidays and the great views Lake Lure is known for it was the perfect spot for an early Christmas celebration with my son. Charming, inviting, and a cozy fire makes for a wonderful experience! Thank you Lodge on Lake Lure for showing up and exceeding expectations in the midst of an ongoing tragedy for this region!🎄👏🥰🙏🏻
