It's a warm, friendly environment with great service. I'd say that the ambiance and service are a 5 and the food is probably 3.5. read more

This used to be wonderful but it changed years ago when they made it geared to hotel guests and not the outside world!

Had an AMAZING meal at The Bistro! Our server Wendy was so kind and personable. Our group especially loved the filet mignon and the rainbow trout. Ambiance was super homey and warm. read more

One of our best dining experiences of our 8 years living in the mountains. My bride found it as a birthday celebration for me. Started with well crafted cocktails, both martinis were a hit, great flavor and excellent volume. Dinner for my bride was the nightly special featuring a Salisbury steak...yep relived our 1960's childhood with this dish, sounds strange but when created from filet mignon it was delicious! For me a field and fowl Cajun inspired dish with a little heat hit the spot. A glass of zin brought everything together and our waiter surprised me with an apple crisp dessert! Servings, server and cocktails were excellent plus the price to value relationship was outstanding! Don't miss this gem when in BC! We will be back! read more

My husband took me to this popular restaurant for a dinner reservation. Ambiance: The folks were so nice and hospitable! The ambiance was very cozy and relaxing. Food: For dinner, we had 3 orders of lobster bisque, the dates wrapped in bacon. Everything was O-M-G delicious!! The food was extremely fresh, and the portions were a decent size and great presentation. Price point wasn't bad for the quality of food. Service: Service was top notch! I highly recommend this place, and hope to be back again! Our waitress took the time to assist my husband with planning a birthday cake surprise. Everyone was so kind and genuine! We totally felt loved and welcomed! 10/10 would recommend this place! read more

We dropped in on our way through from GA to TN without reservations. It has maybe a dozen tables, so I was worried we'd be turned away, but Nope! And it didn't disappoint. We had the meatloaf, trout, a kids chicken tenders, chocolate cake and bread pudding. It was all delicious! read more

Amazing experience. Scrumptious food and great service! The trout was fantastic. Not a skinny little filet, but a nice thick piece of fish that was thoughtfully prepared. Great cocktails too! And desserts to die for! read more

Our server was great. Very attentive. Drinks were good and bartender served us as it was a busy night. But overall I was highly disappointed and so were all of us at our table. The food was just not good. Maybe they had a new cook. Certainly not a chef. Etoufee had burnt sausage in it and it ruined the whole plate. I mean charred pieces of whatever it was supposed to be. And it was way too spicy. Yes I know it's supposed to be but not to mask the lack of taste and burnt pieces. Stroganoff special was so salty you could barely eat it. And this cook has never mastered the art of risotto. It was overcooked mushy nastiness. I really wanted this to be better but it just wasn't. Ruined my night. I pushed away my plate as did others at the table. I certainly hope you take these reviews to heart as whoever is currently in your kitchen is ruining a good thing. read more

This place is expensive, so plan on paying at least 75.00 per person. It's a splurge and it is worth it. The crafted drinks were perfection, as well as the food. The creme brulle was worth the extra 5 pounds i am sure i gained. Most importantly, the service was top notched. Attentive, kind and knowledgeable. Will we be back? Of course. read more

It's a nice atmosphere and we were honestly expecting to be blown away by the food, but it was just ok. I ordered the trout. First, it was a tiny portion for the amount you pay and it was super under seasoned. The Hubs ordered the meatloaf (he loves meatloaf) and when he was done he looked at me and said 'Yours is way better'. He said it was so smooth it was almost like a pâté and again, under seasoned. For a starter I ordered the lobster bisque, which was honestly my favorite part of the meal. The hubs got a salad and it was huge - he said it was fine. I ordered the spicy marg, which was small (I don't love when it's a skinny glass and 3/4 is ice), but tasty. For dessert, since we were on vacay, we ordered both the cobbler (peach) & the bread pudding. Again, both were ok, but not outstanding, they needed more sugar & cinnamon in both. Overall we both left feeling a bit disappointed with the $130 meal and wouldn't return. read more

We were in town to stay at the Sky Ridge Yurts (review separately) I had called over a month ago to try and make a reservation. I left a voicemail but was not called back (not good first impression!) but they are upfront that they primarily cater to their hotel guests (rightfully so). We had decided to have early dinner in town before driving up to our yurt (good move)! We popped into the Everett Hotel around 4:45pm, were warmly greeted! We asked about dinner, they had table available but were told there was reservation for that table at 6:45 (no problem!). The hotel is in an old bank and is very cool! The dining room/bar area is cozy with nice decor. The bartender (Eddie) waited on us and is fantastic! The menu is small but well thought out! Eddie pointed out a couple of his favorites (trout and meatloaf, which we did order). Eddie made me an amazing dirty ice cold martini! My wife got a bottle of nice wine ( since we were able to take leftover wine with us). We got the delicious bacon wrapped, blue cheese stuffed dates that had honey drizzle over them for appetizer! All the food and drinks were great, evidently during a restroom visit my wife told Eddie it was my birthday so dinner was capped off with a delicious bread pudding with birthday candle. Eddie politely reminded us around 6:30 that the table was needed at 6:45, I was still drinking my birthday dessert delicious espresso martini, my wife her wine. We settled our bill and Eddie escorted us to their really cool roof top area to finish our drinks, the roof top was so cool with fire pit and views. A great experience with wonderful food and great, great service (thank you, Eddie!). We will try and return and stay at hotel! read more

I want to start by commending this place on their service. They have the best customer service here. The servers were so on top of it and very friendly the entire time. I'd come back simply for that alone. I was, however, a little disappointed in my dish. I got the huevos rancheros. First, the eggs on there were hard fried. I mean very hard fried. They forgot my la crema. I didn't even know it was supposed to come with it until my wife remarked how good it was on hers but when I talked about the chorizo being tasty we realized they forgot the chorizo on hers! They brought us out a side of la crema and more chorizo. Then the avocado was not good. No oil or fat content to it. Maybe it was that avocado because even though my wife's was like that as well, she got a side of avocado and that one was good. I also felt the tiny ramekin of salsa was not enough for me. It needed more. I could nitpick other things about the dish but these were the main reasons I didn't love it. We did end up getting a Nutella crepe for dessert with bananas and it was awesome! They did do a great job on that. read more

Service was phenomenal and food was outstanding. We enjoyed the trout plate with a delicious side of grits, meatloaf, and ended our meal with a chocolate brownie (shown in the picture). They were kind enough to grab us last minute reservation, recommend making them at least a few days in advance. read more

Always on the top of our list in Bryson City. The owner is great, bartender makes wonderful drinks, and the food is always excellent! See you again next year! read more

We were lucky enough to snatch a non-guest reservation slot (call one week before hand) and I am so glad we did. The food was delicious - we ordered a range of dishes - including a hot dog and fries off the kids menu for our 7 year old - and every bite was delicious. It is a small dining room, with a warm ambiance, lovely bar, espresso machine, and somehow it all works to create a great dinner atmosphere. Service was consistent but not hurried and all in all a perfect dinner choice on a cold December night. read more

Wonderful food and service. Delicious drinks and full attentiveness to our whole table. We will return next time we are in town.

My friend and I were able to get a spot at the bar for dinner, and Eddie (?) the bartender was awesome. He took great care of us and we enjoyed our experience so much we came back again a second night. I tried the harvestini & thyme traveler for cocktails, both were delicious. For food, we split the caesar salad and herbed chèvre, which we devoured pretty quickly. I really enjoyed my crab cake as well, and my friend enjoyed her trout. The next night she got the filet mignon, and it paired really well with the goat cheese. Must visit if you're coming to Bryson city, make sure to call ahead to get a reservation, the dining room is tiny and guests at the hotel have priority seating. read more

We were very lucky to snag a reservation a week before our arrival. Our group of 6 pretty much tried out the main and dessert menus. We loved the atmosphere of this unique restaurant and EVERYTHING we ate was great! Our waiter, Garrett, did an amazing job, too. I would highly recommend this small and quaint restaurant. Can't wait to return and eat here again. read more

Reviews suggested this was one of the nicer places to eat in Bryson City, NC, but also that you need to make reservation a whole week in advance if you're not staying at the Everett Hotel. We did and we're glad we did. Service was great and the food was good, although my wife's filet, requested at medium well, came out too rare. I asked why she didn't send it back and she said she couldn't immediately confirm the lack of doneness because of the sauce poured into the steak. I had the three-meat variety meatloaf and it was okay. What we liked the best was the dining room. Beautiful wood! read more

My date and I came here when we were visiting from California, the service, food and ambience was amazing. I had the fillet and my date had the pan seared trout followed by an espresso martini and Harvestini alcoholic drinks along with the maple crème brûlée and white chocolate bread pudding for dessert. Which was so goo, I forget to take pictures of, lol. read more

You MUST come to this place! It has everything a great restaurant needs in my opinion. Super friendly staff and amazing fresh food with a menu that is constantly being improved. I really love the quaint atmosphere and just the town of Bryson City in general has a very special vibe to it. I make sure to come here every time I visit Cherokee (3x's a year) and it's always one of the highlights of my trip. You're welcome in advance ;) *today at brunch I ordered the the Smokey Mountain Benedict and it did not disappoint!! Perfect textures and max flavor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! *came back the following day for dinner and got the mountain trout...YUMMMM!! read more

We came for the food but were disappointed. Trout and meatloaf were recommended as house specialties yet both were under seasoned. The kitchen's response was that it was as intended and they don't tend to over-season their food. Hmmm. I now see that other reviewers told them the same thing, which makes the kitchen's response even more disappointing. Management was very accommodating and comped us a yummy crème brûlée dessert but that didn't make up for a frustrating evening. On the positive side, ambiance was good, I enjoyed my jalapeño margarita and the server was friendly. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner. Garrett made our experience really nice. We'd had a late lunch so we skipped an appetizer but both had the trout and it was excellent. The Empressive G&T and Maple Cedar Manhattan specialty drinks were also delicious. read more

For my birthday I wanted to do something a little more active besides hanging out at the breweries and bars in Charlotte. I ended up finding a cute bed and breakfast in Bryson City that is a perfect location for lots of hiking and outdoor activities. The owners of the bed and breakfast recommended reservations at Cork and Bean. I made them about 1.5 months in advance. I would give this place 4.5 stars but that isn't an option on Yelp so I rounded up. We were seated promptly upon check in which is always a plus with reservations. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and the town. We asked for hiking recommendations and she gave us a couple that we are going to try on our second day! I was torn between wine choices so she brought samples, which easily led me to order a bottle. I can blame it on that right??? For dinner I orders a special that wasn't on the menu. It was scallops in cheese grits with greens. The hubs ordered the low country noodle bowl. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't bread or appetizer brought out to snack on (usually upscale restaurants bring something out before your meal if it doesn't come with a salad). BUT....Our food was brought out surprisingly fast, so maybe they don't require the bread? The scallop dish was absolutely amazing but a small portion. 4 scallops to be exact. I devoured it really fast and was hungry for more. My husbands noodle bowl was a large portion and was perfectly seasoned and delicious. We like that they used egg noodles for dish, it was unique and tasty. The waitress brought out a cute whipped cream dish with a candle for my birthday, which was a nice touch! This was very thoughtful and concluded our dinner with impeccable service. We had two entrees and a bottle of wine for a little over $100 including tip, to give you an idea of costs. Bryson city is a really cute place! We want to come back. read more

This review is for dessert only although I have been here for dinner in the past and it was amazing! We had just had a very disappointing winter at another restaurant up the street and decided to come here for dessert. We had the toasted almond ball again and also tried the fresh strawberry cheesecake. The almond ball is a humongous ball of vanilla ice cream covered in toasted almonds and drizzled with chocolate sauce. It is AMAZING! The strawberry cheesecake was dark, not reddish pink but tasted great! Would highly recommend both these desserts! read more

We came in on Monday night and got seated right away. The environment is cozy and intimate, and they were playing alternative rock which feels like a luxury in the south. Our waiter, Jesse was kind and attentive without being overly-so. He checked on us and refilled our drinks but didn't hover, which we really appreciated. He also gave us an awesome hiking recommendation since we were from out of town. The food was also exemplary. We both got the black and bleu cheeseburger which was juicy and flavorful. They had plenty of gluten free options and Jesse was really knowledgeable about the menu and what's gluten free. We also got dessert, creme brûlée (as pictured), which was incredible as well. Not only was the food some of the best we've ever experienced, but the service was also truly amazing. read more

Took train ride and had reservations at the Bistro in the Everett hotel. The dining room was beautiful.Cameron waited on us. He was fantastic. My husband had the meat loaf, was so tasty. I ordered the ginger carrot soup and the shrimp and grits. Both were wonderful. There were fresh roses at our table. Cameron brought our food and drinks on a napkin covered tray. What a wonderful dining experience. A gem in a small town. Would definitely cross the Smokies again just to dine at the Bistro. Thank you all staff! read more

Wouldn't take a table of one, even at the bar. Said I had to wait for 3 hours. Um nope!

A quaint hotel and restaurant. Sat at the bar and the mixologist knew his drinks and history. Lobster Bisque was decadent. Caesar Salad had house made dressing and a meal by itself. Lastly, the meatloaf was amazing. 3 types of meat, bacon wrapped and one of a kind. Highly recommend read more
