My husband had the steak(I cannot remember the cut but I want to say ribeye.) and my daughter had the kids macaroni noodles with marinara sauce. Our entire visit from start to finish was great. The servers continuously checked on us and made sure everything was up to par. We will definitely be back!

We stumbled across Pilot Mountain Vineyard and Winery on our way home to Cincinnati after visiting…read moreRaleigh. The setting of this gorgeous winery is worth the visit alone. The couple who owns the winery is very nice and welcoming. Pilot Mountain Vineyard and Winery offers a selection of dry and semi-dry wines, and you can opt to do a white wine flight or a red wine flight. I indulged in the white wine flight and really enjoyed each wine. I tend to only be a semi-dry to sweet wine drinker, but I really enjoyed the dry wines here as well. I especially liked that the oak barrel wines, like the oak barrel Chardonnay, did not have an overbearing oak taste. The Charm also had a nice finish. I highly recommend a visit to this winery if you happen to be in the area.

Let me start with the service from Alexa, who was friendly and attentive the entire visit…read more Secondly I want to speak to the pizza we had there which was absolutely delicious, a bacon and brie pizza. Made in a wood fire oven the crust and overall pizza was absolutely the top that I have had recently. The creek if you want to walk down to it was very nice as well. I guess Elkin Creek is on the muddy side, but still quaint and nice to look at as well. Now the wine, I was not blown away unfortunately and each, had a way of making me think I was tasting some type of Kombucha due to the spices used in them an a lingering flavor. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it was that way through all of the six wines we tasted.

My husband have taken two trips to Roaring River Vineyards in the last 13 months. The first was to…read morecelebrate my birthday last year, and the second trip was for our 9th wedding anniversary this week. Both experiences were absolutely beautiful and peaceful. There isn't a wine on the menu that we disliked, and we especially love the Traminette and the Oh Le Deaux (trust me, get this deep fragrant red dessert wine). The food was good, and the owner is really nice and has wonderful stories about his travels. Overall, we have discussed making this a yearly or at least every other year trip for us because of the serene riverside property and the amazing wines. The property by itself is 5 stars, and the wine makes it even more of a fun romantic getaway.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon in September with friends. It wasn't very busy, and we were seated…read moreright away on the outdoor patio overlooking the river. The location is beautiful--tucked beside the Roaring River in a small valley, with a peaceful and scenic setting. Menus were provided when we sat down, along with an offer for drinks. Although this is a winery, they also serve beer and other beverages. Our server gave us a wine menu but directed us to scan a QR code for the other drink options. Since there's no cell reception, we had to connect to the winery's Wi-Fi first, which felt a little awkward. After all that, the beer menu was quite limited--something that could have been more easily explained up front. The food menu was also limited, which we expected at a winery. None of us ordered wine, but two of us had beers, and we shared the soft pretzel bites with beer cheese dip and a charcuterie board. Both appetizers were presented beautifully and tasted great--we really enjoyed sampling them. After our food and drinks, we walked the grounds. The property is stunning, with accommodations for overnight stays, a pavilion for events, and multiple access points to the river. Overall, this was a wonderful place to relax and catch up with friends. The highlights were the scenery and the food, while the downsides were the limited menu options and service that felt less helpful than expected.

The wines, especially the reds, are excellent and a real standout from the wines of the region. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly and can talk at length about his wines. The view from the outside patio is really beautiful and the winery is also very dog friendly despite having several (very friendly) cats inside and out. They encourage you to bring a picnic to enjoy with their wines.

Ish and Ash provided their entertainment services for my bridal shower and did an AMAZING job! The…read moremusic variety was just perfect. They are very professional and they had all the equipment I wanted. Smoke machine, lights, my monogram, everything! It was a memorable night and I could not picture my bridal shower with another entertainment service. Every dollar was worth it and the package I chose was a reasonable price. I wished they were the DJ's at my wedding but I got married on a cruise line and the cruise line had to use their own DJ unfortunately. If I were to go back in time I would 100000% pick Ish and Ash over and over again. Don't settle for a 90's style cheap DJ. Pick Ish and Ash - I guarantee a wonderful beautiful night.

We also had cocktail hour food and passed appetizers and everyone loved that too!! His shrimp tacos and ribs are to die for.
