    Gorgeous views and even better food. (That's rare, right?!) The Sunday buffet brunch was outstanding. My only regret is not having a bigger stomach!

    The Brunch was amazing! So many good stations. There’s a Bloody Mary bar with four kinds of mix and fun additions like bacon, hush puppies and fried green tomatoes! Then fabulous Benedict station, omelette station and hot food like pickle-brined fried chicken and shrimp And grits. Then the dessert room with bananas foster- amazing!

    As always, the Sunday brunch is very special. The spread is magnificent and well attended to so you always feel the abundance of gorgeous food. The staff is welcoming and does not seem overwhelmed, although it was bustling. The table service is excellent and our party was 10, including a highchair-user. While that's high demand, our wait staff was engaging with our group and we had a fabulous time. Thank you!

    Beautiful display and fantastic variety! My husband loved the biscuit & gravy. I enjoyed the carving station and the steamed shrimp. We had fun tasting the desserts - the bananas foster was our favorite! It was a great way to start our 29th anniversary!

    Outstanding evening dining out. Absolutely no problems encountered, Fantastic food, atmosphere and service was top notch. Our waiter Daniel was phenomenal and we had the best time there. Price is reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you are offered. Desserts were abundant, fresh and delicious. 10 out of 10. The grounds were beautiful, hotel lobby is amazing and the view of Asheville was unbeatable.

    I had a wonderful dinner and relaxing evening at Blue Ridge and the food was outstanding as it always is. This trip was a special one for me because I had my three sons and my only grandson with me for the first time without our wives and my granddaughters. I will be returning real soon with my wife and daughter- in -laws and my three granddaughters .

    We enjoyed our supper! The waiter was very attentive and the food was great. Only complaint was the shrimp in the macncheese still had the tails on!?! Who wants to fish out shrimp tails out of their macncheese? And the soup needed to be hotter.

    Been there many times and it was great. This time it was not. All dishes I tried were spicy. I dont do spicy. Only 1 sugar free dessert option. Crab legs too salty. Server unattentive. Quite disappointed for the money.

    Dining here is a great experience. We feel that for $55 per person it is right on price point. We heard that the price was rising to $75. That is not a reasonable price point and we will have to totally forego tha experience or limit it to once a year. We have visited you 5 times this year so far.

    Sorry to say that none of us in our party of four wanted to stay in this restaurant once we got a look at the place and food buffet. We stayed because it was late and raining, so we decided to make the best of it. The atmosphere was really casual - not “resort casual”, unless you consider universal studios or great wolf lodge a resort. Food was poor to mediocre. Presentation might have been nice at the beginning of the evening, but half the handles of food were sitting in sauce, many serving platters were picked over and didn’t look inviting. I never ate a single thing from the entree room, because none of it was tempting. The only unforgettable thing about this restaurant is how much none of us liked it.

    The dining room was busy as expected. The shrimp was fresh and plentiful. The crab legs were good. We had a good table at the windows with a view of the mountains. Tables were very close together and hard to navigate a path back to our table after getting plates full of food. The sides were okay…the seafood Mac and cheese was fairly spicy. Dessert selection was plentiful with dozens of choices. Our server was extremely busy but polite and as attentive as he could have been given the amount of people he had to serve. Overall, it was a pleasant evening.

    You are paying for the view and the food is good. However, I don’t think what you get is worth $55 price tag. Almost all the meet choices were seafood. While I enjoy seafood, a variety of meat families would have been nice.
