Diner Reviews
  • "Had a wonderful meal in beautiful surroundings. Our server (Dan) was attentive and knew the menu. Prices are on the high side but well worth the money."

  • "Crab cake and salmon entree topped our foodie experience at the sunset terrace. Lovely cool evening in July added to the ambience as the sun set at our table for two."

  • " Service was amazing! The server was on top of things. Took my wife there for our first anniversary and they went above and beyond to make our experience good."
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "Food, service, and ambiance were outstanding. Best outdoor dining with mountain views of Asheville. We will definitely dine here again on future trips to Asheville."

  • "This was my third time dining at the Sunset Terrace over a 15 year period. I live in NJ so it's not a place I get to very frequently. My wife was along for this, her second, time and both of us enjoyed it immensely. Though it was a mostly cloudy day, the sun broke through just enough before nightfall to complement the outstanding dining experience and exquisite surroundings. Our server was pleasant and professional, stopping back enough to let us know we were important yet respecting our time to enjoy the meal. Our dinners were cooked just right with the presentation befitting the quality of the host inn. We both couldn't wait to again spend another dining experience here and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Asheville, NC area."

  • "Very scenic and relaxing spot. Some areas of the restaurant have the tables grouped fairly close together, but it is a small price to pay for good food and a beautiful view"
    Dined on 7/18/2014
  • "This was the first time my husband and I had eaten at the Sunset Terrace. Service was excellent and the food was outstanding. We both had steaks that were cooked to perfection. Side portions were generous and easily shared between the two of us. There were two large parties seated near us that were a little loud, but otherwise, the ambiance was excellent. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to our next visit."
    Dined on 7/17/2014
  • "What a treat! Sunset Terrace was wonderful! Everyone was super friendly and the food, to die for! Make reservations!!! And request a table overlooking the lower patio so you can enjoy the amazing vistas unobstructed. We had hoped to watch the sunset during dinner but the clouds had other plans, didn't damper our evening though. My husband had the trout and I ordered the scallops, both were scrumptious!"
    Dined on 7/17/2014
  • "Of course it's way overpriced. The waiter forgot my baked potato. Service was good. View as lovely. Seating was very comfortable. A nice place to visit but not often."

  • "My boyfriend and I came to the grove park inn for his birthday and had dinner overlooking Asheville at the sunset terrace! It was beautiful, the server, Stan, was great, the food was delicious, and they had my favorite wine which a lot of restaurants don't so that was great! We will definitely be returning! My only thing would be that I wished my $40 something filet had also come with a side or 2!"
    Dined on 7/17/2014
  • "It was a really nice one time experience to splurge. It's just not very accessible to most people and I really had no business buying a $42 steak, I just wanted to try it out. Does it really need to be that expensive or is it just to have prestige and make rich people feel like they are important and better? (Not sarcastic- I really just wonder what is going on with places that are this outrageously priced). I knew what I was getting into and enjoyed it."
    Dined on 7/14/2014
  • "The Sunset Terrace is a perfect setting for a special occasion. It took our breath away! The restaurant atmosphere and the view are amazing. The nice waiter explained that the beef steaks were exceptional. We were somewhat disappointed as the pricey steak was dry and chewy. The tuna steak was excellent! The chicken dish was very good , though skimpy on veggies. We were happy with the beet salad and sides. We had ordered a birthday cake ahead. It was brought out in a timely manner and was delicious! Overall, the evening was a huge success!"
    Dined on 7/14/2014
  • "the overall experience was outstanding the main course (21 oz. bone in rib-eye was amazing best I have ever had). The sides was great, but the appetizers was a little bit of a let down compare to the rest of the menu. They were not alot of choices and for the price the quality was just ok but overall I would recommend this restaurant to someone else."
    Dined on 7/13/2014
  • "Of course the view is unmatched. Alot of reviewers were not that impressed with the food. However, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the best scallops I've had. Roasted beets with fresh ricotta salad was excellent."
    Dined on 7/12/2014
  • "Excellent mountain views in awesome Grove Park Inn. Waitress was very good and recommended good wine for my steak. Steak was good but for the price should have been better. Overall great spot for a special occasion."
    Dined on 7/11/2014
  • "What a view on this grand patio at the Grove Park Inn!!! Beautifully done, top notch service and fantastic food!! Know as a steak house with premium cuts, the seafood is also outstanding. We had dinner one evening and lunch one afternoon. Both menus were unbelievable fresh and tasty. The service and ambiance are also just amazing. This is definitely a TOP spot and a must do if at Grove Park Inn!!"

  • "Took a friend from out of town there and also was my first time to go there as well. The view is absolutely breathtaking. I would have liked it if the tables were not so close ..you could hear others conversations clearly. The food was good, small proportions for the price. The wine they recommended came with a screw off cap. Disappointing in some respects but still had a nice evening."
    Dined on 7/9/2014
  • "Read my full review on trip adviser: basically, portion sizes are out of whack...especially for the price. I will not dine on the Sunset Terrace again, but would order a drink or cup of tea."
    Dined on 7/8/2014
  • "Good place for a drink but the food and service are not worth the price"
    Dined on 7/8/2014
  • "It was my husband's birthday. When I made the reservations, I mentioned what we were celebrating. From the minute we arrived, staff wished him a happy birthday. He got attention from our server. She delivered a lovely desert treat served on a platter with the words "happy birthday". They made the evening just a special as I had hoped. It was wonderful. Great dinner, lovely view, and great service. Nice!"
    Dined on 7/7/2014
  • "Took my boyfriend for his birthday and was extremely pleased with the service and ambiance, however the food was overpriced and very disappointing. Will not be returning"

  • "Returned after a great experience 20 years ago to find an even higher standard of service. Missed the live music and dancing from the past."
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "For the most part, our second visit to the Grove Park Inn Sunset Terrace after five years was as wonderful as the first with two exceptions. We ordered the crab cake appetizer, as we had before, but instead of two cakes there was just one, and it was nowhere near as good, missing the large chunks of crab that had made us vow to get it again. And though my wife's filet was incredible, my lamb was far too underdone for the medium rare I'd ordered."
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "We had front row seat on the terrace with a fabulous waiter (Shaun). The rack of lamb and pork chop with sides (mushrooms, fingerling potatoes) were done as we like them. A leisurely based meal ending with a beautiful sunset. Could not ask for a better evening."
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "This luncheon was for a friends birthday.After leaving the restaurant she said that is was the best birthday she has ever had, And at 74 years, that is saying something. I would recommend to anyone. William Ruthven"
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "Definitely a big treat albeit a bit pricey. Would not hesitate to recommend."
    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "I took my girlfriend there for a late dinner and fireworks. The staff couldn't control the folks in the lobby from going out on the terrace where we were dining so we saw no fireworks at all.. major disappointment and I won't return there for the 4th of July."
    Dined on 7/4/2014
  • "What could be wrong with a terrace restaurant at a place like the Grove Park Inn, with an panoramic outdoor sunset view of Asheville, North Carolina and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Add a creative and diverse menu, perfectly prepared, and perfect service (our top-notch waitress was Sidney), and you have the perfect place for a very special occasion (our 25th anniversary). Nothing could have been any better."

  • "After a nice hike on Mount Michelle on Blue Ridge we set at the Sunset Terrace for a lunch. It was wonderful place to eat with great view."
    Dined on 7/4/2014
  • "The food was amazing as well as the service. Drinks were delicious. Crab cakes, tuna, filet...everything was fantastic. The view was breathtaking. I would definitely dine here again"

  • "A wonderful experience. Charming setting with stunning scenery. The steaks are good, not great, but any mild deficiency is made up by the atmosphere."
    Dined on 7/2/2014
  • "The beet salad was great, practically a meal! Bob had the Caesar salad good and fresh, trout delicious, scallops good and juicy ..y Too full for dessert."
    Dined on 7/2/2014
  • "My wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary so naturally I wanted to take her somewhere romantic, and the Sunset Terrace was perfect. The staff were courteous and professional; attentive but not hovering. It was a terrific evening. The only (slight) criticism I have is that the rub on the steaks was salty (and I like a lot of salt). However, after a quick scrape I was able to enjoy that delicious New York strip. My wife raved about the bone-in ribeye. The Sunset Terrace at the Grove Park Inn is pricy, but it's a very special place. You won't find many like it. Highly recommend."
    Dined on 7/2/2014
  • "This place has a view worth paying for, especially at dinner. Watching Asheville light up as the sun goes down...WOW! The food is very expensive, and as most would say, better than average, but it's hard to go wrong if you aren't too worried about blowing the vacation budget on one meal."
    Dined on 7/1/2014
  • "My wife &I have dined at the Sunset Terrace in previous years while staying at the Grove Park Inn.We have always known that the food was "resort"priced(which is rather expensive),but well worth the price.This time the ambience was not there,the server was horrible in a pricey restaurant like this.We requested the reservation some time before coming to the inn for our vacation and even though we had the set time,we requested a choice table and the staff couldn't even fullfill that for us. Chances are that when we return to the Grove Park Inn for a vacation,we will not be dinning at the Sunset Terrace."

  • "When friends and family visit us in Asheville, we always take them to dinner at the Sunset Terrace. There is no better restaurant view, food and experience anywhere!"
    Dined on 6/30/2014
  • "As always, fabulous food and service, with a breathtaking view. Everything at the Grove Park Inn is spot on...they never disappoint."

  • "I have dined here a dozen times over the past 10 years. This was my first visit since the GPI became part of the Omni chain. Not sure if that is the cause of the sub-par dining experience I had a few nights ago or not. Had the raw bar tower for an appetizer. Oysters were desicated and gritty. Both of us ordered filets medium rare. Not an iota of pink, much less red, in both steaks. Good flavor and tender, but definitely cooked medium well. Food came out plated wrong, with my sauce on his plate. The bearnaise he ordered didn't come for another 5-10 minutes. Sides were bland. Baked potato chunky and lukewarm. Creamed spinach that looked frozen. Carrots that were undercooked. Mushrooms overly salted. Dessert shortcake hard and seemingly stale."
