    The restaurant was nearly empty because it was a slow day at Biltmore, but I enjoyed the relative solitude. Donna, my server, gave me just the right level of attention. The Stable Cafe has the best chicken salad sandwich I’ve ever tasted.

    We love the cozy friendly atmosphere at Cedric’s Tavern, and the food is always delicious. We splurged on a lobster roll, which was full of at least 8 oz of fresh lobster, and I enjoyed the perfect comfort food: shepherd’s pie. The staff were helpful and welcoming as always!

    Posana is everything that you would expect in an upscale restaurant… Beautifully presented and delicious food, impeccable service, and a very nice ambience. Coming in from out of town after a lot of driving, it was just what we needed to relax and refresh!! The pear and burrata appetizer is not to be missed! Entrees were excellent as well. Our server , Swannee, just made an already wonderful experience even better! We will be back!!
