The food was rich, delicious, and clearly from an experienced chef. Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly. Scallops, filet mignon, and salmon all came out with enhancing (starch)sides, sauces that were memorable, and served with finesse. So you know… I wish the wine list had more wines by the glass, and some less expensive bottles. Good ones exist, for sure. Vegetables/salads need to be ordered a La carte, as do rolls/bread for the table. Service was impeccable.

Appalachia is an hour & 15 minutes from our home! But we really enjoy it! It is a gorgeous drive through Chimney Rock & Lake Lure! On November 11, the fall leaves were still beautiful! The back deck is great for conversation with a picturesque view of the sunset, lake & mountains! Servers were great! Food is always excellent! My husband had the pork chops & I had shrimp! Ambiance is great for conversation & catching up! It has a warm, cozy feel on a chilly fall evening!

Second time at Appalachia and it was great. Brought friends along this time and they also enjoyed the food. One recommendation would be for the bar to stock other tonics for a G&T.

The restaurant and also the Lodge is exceptional! This is by far the best restaurant we have had in our area! The good thing about it is that you don’t have to be a guest at the lodge to eat at the restaurant. The view of the lake from inside is beautiful but when you step outside and stroll down to the many decks you will be in awe over the sweeping views, tranquil setting and overal captivating sights!! The chef who recently joined the team from the Biltmore has mastered his culinary skills…we are foodies and are thrilled to have him here in Lake Lure! We will frequent this location often!

Venue and the service were very good but the music was not dining quality and was a bit loud. Food was good but very expensive so not good value. The lobster bisque was very disappointing being too spicy and overpowering for any lobster flavor or sherry taste. For the price I’ve never had a lobster bisque without at least bits of lobster meat!

We loved Appalachia! We had a drink at the bar before and after dinner because Sophie was awesome! Our server’s dinner recommendations were spot on! We started with the seasonal heirloom tomatoes and Burrata and the seafood chowder. They both were amazing- but that chowder almost brought us to our knees it was so good. Entrees were wagu filet with duck fat fried fingerlings and lamb chops with cranberry chutney and seasonal side mix. They were also SUPERB! And we ended with a sweet potato cheesecake that was decadent and flavorful! We highly recommend all of the items we ordered. We will be going back two more times before we leave town- it is that good. Oh, and HOW COULD I FORGET THE VIEW? Seriously insane! ❤️❤️❤️

Our dinner was very good. The views from the dining room are fantastic. My wife and I enjoyed a cocktail to start. My dad wanted a Pilsner type beer but they were out of regular beer. He got an amber ale, which he enjoyed. We shared bread and shrimp appetizers, which were good. We all had the soup of the day (saffron cauliflower). We liked the flavor but thought portion size was a bit small and the dish could also be hotter. My mom and dad both had the mushroom ravioli. They said it tasted well. When those two dishes came out, the difference in plated proportions was very obvious. Since my dad usually eats more than my mom, we just let it be. My wife had the shrimp, which she enjoyed. I like my pork-chop too. We finished our meal with a mousse trifle (forgot the name on the menu). We liked it. A few more appetizers too choose from and maybe some less expected / more surprising menu options would have made this a 5* rating. I find that most often when a restaurant has great views or location, it considers the food it serves an afterthought. Not here. We enjoyed a place that knows how to combine great views with well prepared dishes. Keep it up. We’ll be back.
