In the mountains of North Georgia the Lake Rabun Hotel & Restaurant has been welcoming guests since 1922. Restored in 2008, the hotel and restaurant offer the best of rustic elegance.

    This was our second visit to the restaurant, and it did not disappoint. The service was incredible, our server treated us like royalty and the food was amazing. It is such a special and unique place and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    My wife and I have wanted to eat at Lake Rabun Hotel for quite some time. We read the reviews, and a recurring theme was that portion sizes were not very big. My son ordered the rainbow trout, but they only brought half of it out. We thought that was strange. We’ve never seen a restaurant only give you half a trout. On the flipside my wife ordered chicken and she got three pieces. This was way overkill for her. To leave a completely honest review, I thought that the food was mediocre at best and it was nothing write to mom  about. I think back in the day this was probably a really happening place, but now not so much. On a positive note Max‘s lake side next-door was really hopping.

    Dinner was a delightful experience. The only issue was that my medium rare steak came medium well. The waitress offered to take it back, but I hate to sit not eating while everyone else is eating and then eat when everyone else is done so I declined the offer. They then provided a free dessert for the inconvenience however it was my birthday so I would have gotten a free dessert anyway. My family begged me not to embarrass them by mentioning that so I just went with it. This would not stop me from going back. Though the steak was overcooked, it was still flavorful

    Not our normal experience. We always chose LRH for special occasions as we have a 40 minute drive. They were out of ALL the wines by the bottle we selected, no Chardonnay to be had. Finally selected a white that was just ok. Our table for 6 was right in front of the bar which became noisy and crowded. Hard to carry on a conversation. Have never sat in that area and will now know to request other location in advance. However, our server, Tonni, was sweet and accommodating. Probably a newby but A+ for her efforts. The food was all excellent as usual. We will return with above knowledge in hand.
    Lake Rabun Hotel and RestaurantResponded on June 30, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback! We apologize we did not have the wine you had selected. We are currently in the middle of reconstructing our wine list. We want to provide our guest with a wine selection that will surly have just what you would expect when dining with us. The new list and the new selections will be available soon. Feel free to speak with the restaurant on your preference of seating. They will arrange request accordingly. With reservations in the peak season, this is a first come first serve process. Thank you for your business and we hope to have you back again soon! We are thrilled you enjoyed the dinner!

    Dining at the lake, Raven Hotel restaurant is truly a magical experience. The charm of the place cannot be denied. We had a wonderful dinner. It would’ve been five stars had the dishes been a little more plentiful. The five shrimp on the shrimp cocktail appetizer were very small. Two small pieces of warm bread (half dollar size ) were served with rosemary butter. Upon request more was cheerfully brought to our table. I ordered the filet with broccolini and mashed potatoes. Broccolini was two small stalks, and less mashed potatoes than I would’ve liked. (This is testament to how delicious they were. I wanted more!) my steak was cooked to perfection. Service with excellent, attentive and pleasant. We will definitely be enjoying this restaurant regularly. You have to try it!
