    My family and I enjoy eating at The Stable Cafe any time that we visit Biltmore. (We also like Cedrics.) We like that the menu keeps many of the same offerings, but our favorite dishes are tweaked to go with the season - so it is like getting something new each time. We always order creme brulee, but for the summer it is lemon. The staff is very accomodating and prompt to keep your drinks refilled and to see if anything else is needed. I would recommend the anytime you are visiting the Biltmore House, try the Stable Cafe.

    We had a great dinner on the porch at Edison! The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The gorgeous view can’t be beat! Our service was excellent and the manager went above and beyond after we meandered away without our leftovers to take home. When we realized we had left them, we went back and they had already been tossed. However, the manager insisted on making us a fresh dish to take home. That is categorized as “unreasonable hospitality”. And if you haven’t read that book, read it!! Good customer service makes all the difference! Thanks Edison!

    Delicious food, upbeat atmosphere, energetic and helpful waitress . Stated that it was our anniversary on open table and hostess greeted us saying happy anniversary, took us to our table with a signed Happy anniversary card and waiter gave my husband and I each a glass of champagne! It was a wonderful evening and would highly recommend. It was packed at 7 pm on a weeknight so to us as tourists it was a sign of a good place to dine.
