    One of our favs at Lake Lure! The chef here is outstanding. That sea bass was one of the best we've ever tasted. The Legends pizza was delish! We tried the highland AVL from Asheville on tap and it went great with the pizza and views. A hidden gem for sure!

    We leave tomorrow and do plan on coming back; we enjoyed our stay here! The Bucatini Carbonara was absolutely delicious. The Beef Nachos were delicious, though a bit salty and I am a big salt lover. Danielle and Colleen are excellent bartenders and Adion is great support. There was another wedding happening tonight, but we did still meet locals and they were all just as friendly and lovely as the others we have met. Small world, we met folks from most of the places we have lived around the USA. Notable: They have a Touchtunes music Jukebox! They're hard to find these days but I love them. also notable, it's listed under Rumbling Bald not Legends Restaurant.

    View is the best part of eating here! Food and drinks are good but you definitely pay resort prices. Service was ok but there was a wedding there today so am guessing they were a little short staffed.

    Great restaurant on the Rumbling Bald Resort at Lake Lure community. Building is at the edge of the lake which have great views to the lake. We were here at the their Halloween and trivia night. Many people dress up for the best costume. We also have fun on the trivia. The restaurant was pack during that night. We have the chicken masala and chicken with oily garlic sauce. Both dish has good sauce. The pasta was nicely done. The chicken breast was grilled. It still maintaining the juicy meat after serving on the table. Good dishes to have. We also got the local brew beer. It was good. Our service is on time even we have full restaurant. I have them an B on serving. The manger did check on our table. All our food came out on time.

    Another great view!

    We arrived for breakfast and got to sit on the outside deck over looking the beautiful Lake Lure. Our guest had the Sausage and Gravy Biscuits he'd been obsessing over ever since he saw it on the menu to previous day. He loved it. My spouse had the pancakes and holy cow! Three pancakes 12" in diameter. HUGE portion and they were thick but light with a fresh flavor and light crust. The epitome of well prepared pancakes. I selected the classic: 2 eggs, toast, bacon and breakfast potatoes. Nowhere on the menu was there any mention of GRITS. My menu choice was excellent but it would have been PERFECT with a side of grits. I mean, this IS the south! Our waiter was attentive and enjoyable. There's plenty of parking right outside the building. The lobby is open and tasteful. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and made to feel very welcome.

    Food was great! We liked every dish we had. Service was quick. Our server was attentive, nice and brought drinks to go without us even having to ask! We sat outside and the view was great. The atmosphere inside was chill and relaxing. Highly recommend. We also did a to go order the next day and sat on the beach at the lake and ate. Our order again came out quick, fresh and delicious.

    Food is so salty that it was crunchy. Inedible. Service was acceptable. I will not go back.

    Went to this restaurant for the Brunch on Sunday. Wife and I arrived without reservations and we…read morewere told to wait a few minutes. The host came back and said there wouldn't be a problem as long as it was an inside table. When the waitress arrived with the water we asked her for two Bloody Marys and we went to serve ourselves from the buffet Food was delicious starting with the omelette station and the rest of the items including the prime rib. The drinks never arrived and the waitress never came back with water, she actually never came to our table, we had to ask for water to the busser same for the check. I am not sure what their system is but looks chaotic since you help yourself to the food it should be fairly easy to assign zones or tables to each server. We walked out to the veranda and came back in the building to seat in the lounge where a pianola was on auto play, really nice environment that takes you back a few decades. The Inn is called The 1927 Lake Lure Inn

    We came here for Sunday Brunch our reservation was for 12:00 PM, our party arrived on time and we…read morewere seated immediately. Margret was our server somehow I don't think this was by accident I had met her a few days earlier at the hotel bar - she has been here for years and years and some of our friends have been enjoying her amazing personality and high level service for a decade or more. Once seated she offered to put our drink orders in while we explored the feast laid out in the adjoining room, the drinks are made at the hotel bar but they have a table set up to allow you to customize your specialty drinks i.e. Bloody Mary's are amazing before any modifications. The food was simple but elegantly displayed, the quality of the product was exceptional and the preparation was very creative and professional. I started at the omelette station two burners and a limited selection of ingredients but all delicious and being I'm not a veggie guy the meats and cheese exceeded my expectations. The neighboring stations were both carving stations, beef and ham both cooked to the perfect temperature and very tender and flavorful - yes I made two trips. I tried a few of the other sides trying my best to stay away for the carbohydrates that most of the side dishes bring with them. Well as much will power and restraint that I have it all slowly eroded away each time I passed the dessert table. The chocolate fountain surround by sliced pineapple, strawberries and cubes of moist cake, lemon and chocolate pies, cheese cake, chocolate cake, cookies and omg peach cobbler - trust me you can gain a few pounds just by being close to this table. The service was spectacular and the total package price is ridiculously reasonable - I don't think you need to lower your expectations to throughly enjoy this brunch but you do need to keep things in perspective this is a small community and this nostalgic hotel / restaurant puts it all out there so enjoy...
