Four of us grabbed spots at the bar, ordered Aperol Spritzes, and immediately settled in. We shared the salad and the veggie pizza, and on our waitress's advice added pepperoni--and wow, was that the right move. This pizza is the real deal: incredible color, a perfectly crisp, crunchy crust, and layers of flavor that genuinely blew us away. I make pizza at home (yes, with an Ooni), and this is the kind of pie that makes you pause mid‑bite and say, "Okay... they know what they're doing." Not floppy, not overdone--just expertly made and insanely satisfying. The atmosphere sealed the deal. Sitting at the bar felt fun and communal, with friendly locals, fellow visitors, and staff all contributing to the vibe. It was welcoming, lively, and exactly the energy you want when you first roll into town. Phenomenal pizza, great drinks, and a spot that understands hospitality. We'd come back for the pizza alone--but everything else made it even better.

The Pizza was delicious, but only had a little bit of sausage on a couple of pieces. Wish it had at least been spread out on the pizza a bit more. The Cesar Salad was divine as always. It seems to consistently be busy, even in the off season. It's pretty loud inside, but the booths are well spaced and they have an outdoor seating option. It's more expensive than I would have hoped, but definitely worth the try!

That wouldn't be an issue if this was a restaurant where one is waiting to be seated, however in this establishment before entering the dining area customers must go through a kiosk line to place an order with a cashier and this night it was taking 4.5-5 min per order (we were 10th in line). The plastic silverware knocks a star off of this review. So much waste in the casing, and it couldn't even cut through the pizza. Please don't squirt ricotta. Ever. The cheese pizza for the little ones was rated by the little ones as a 3/5. The entire cheese coming off in one big lump was a downer. Sauce was a 2, dough was ok. Layout and furniture solid. The best pizza was the prosciutto and mushrooms. Points for great live music and a wonderful outdoor play area for the kids.

Just keep in mind that if you're dining on the patio, the service is more limited, you order and pay at the bar, and they'll bring your food out to you. Overall, this is a must-visit if you're in Highlands, North Carolina, especially if you're a fan of great burgers, good beer, and a laid-back atmosphere.

Ended up using the back of the booth for our water bottle and condiments and still struggled for space. Buffalo wings were good but not exactly Buffalo. No buttery spicy hot sauce. It was more peppery than buffalo. Wings were cooked perfectly though Reuben is excellent as are the jalapeno Mac bites. Cheese dip was also excellent but we (and the table next to us) had to ask for more chips. Not portioned terribly well. Beer options were very slim (2 on tap from what it gathered). I'm sure there were plenty of bottled options but draft was disappointing. We ordered the ale but they tapped out and brought us brown ale. At 5pm...only a brown and stout on tap. Overall, it was a pretty middling experience but the food was good and they offer a military appreciation discount.

I just don't know what to say, other than it was disappointing and underwhelming. The food was just really not good,and the entree took forever to come out of the kitchen. We both ate less than half of our appetizers and entrees. My crab dip order was like something from a Chili's,the fish so dry you couldn't eat it. I forget what my husband's orders were, but he barely ate them. At the end we shared a skillet cookie for desert and did finish it, even though parts were burned. The staff insisting to shake your hand upon greeting and departing, at the table, was disconcerting as well. For a Relais &Chateaux hotel, not having white table cloths,inferior food,and mediocre service is out of the ordinary. I don't think we'll be back.

It's such a beautiful and peaceful space to dine, especially with the amazing Spring and Fall temps they get there. We were with a party of 6 (plus a baby), and walked up without a reservation a bit late in the evening. We figured we'd try it and see if we could get in if it wasn't too late, and luckily enough, the hostess was kind enough to make it happen for us! The menu actually has a lot of variety for a wine garden - drinks and food wise. I started with the French onion soup and it was delicious. The Caesar salad was also quite yummy, but the meatloaf was the showstopper of the night! I am still dreaming of it now, and wish I could replicate it myself because it was that good and memorable! For dessert, I ordered the affogato which is their house made vanilla bean ice cream with an espresso shot and it was the perfect ending to the night! Our server was so attentive and kind, and constantly checked in on us and cleared our plates since the tables are a bit on the smaller side. I had an excellent experience all around!
