Sometimes the magic of sharing a table with friends over fabulous food and wonderful wine can be elevated by a place. Canyon Kitchen has that impact. Canyon Kitchen uses local produce and organic selections from our own community gardens and the surrounding area to source our creative Appalachian cuisine. Our multi-course menu is offered a la carte and will change regularly, sometime daily, and is enhanced by an extensive wine list and fresh, seasonal cocktails. A $40 corkage fee will be charged for bottles up to 750ml.

We recommend that all parties arrive 30-45 minutes before their reservation to take in our beautiful meadow. Reservations are subject to a $25 per person credit card hold that will only be charged if you cancel within 24 hours of reservation.

20% service charge is added automatically to each check to be distributed amongst our front line staff. We thank you in advance.

Such a beautiful setting if the weather cooperates, and it did for us. Our food was great, across the board. We had fish, chicken, and the short rib across our foursome and everyone enjoyed their meals. The cheesecake was about the size of a Reese’s peanut butter cup…. So a little disappointed in that to be honest. My 3 star comes from wine service. When we walked in the Somm saw my wine bag and immediately asked if we would like him to decant the bottles while we enjoyed a cocktail on the patio. Perfect start! Fast forward 45 minutes later and my two bottles of RED wine (a grand cru burgundy and a single vineyard barolo) were placed on our table in champagne ice buckets…. They had put red wine on ice for 45 minutes so it was stone cold. We had to wait a solid 45 minutes for it to warm up before we could order dinner. When I received the bill - they had left the corkage on my bill and the Somm never came over to explain himself. Left our poor waiter to fend. I tipped her well (which CK does for you at 20% automatically by the way). I don’t think I will be back. Too many other great spots between Highlands and Cashiers.

Absolutely fantastic!! Sadie, our server, was great! Very knowledgeable of the menu and cocktails. She also remembered that we had a food allergy. So impressed as always! The staff is amazing and the food is perfection!

The view and grounds of Canyon Kitchen are perfect. The wine list is good. However, the food was not good. My husband & I both ordered the lobster pot pie. It was terrible with no seafood in it. The carrot mash, saffron & fennel was bitter & served cold to us. The chard okra is not cooked enough & difficult to cut & chew. The only thing we somewhat liked was the rolls & cheddar biscuits & the blueberry cobbler dessert with ice cream.
