   BEST FOOD!! My husband and I both talked about this while we were there eating and stated this was hands down our favorite "higher end" restaurant now and will be coming back many times in the future! I ordered the fried okra as an app and had the salmon cooked medium for my entrée and it was all so incredible! A MILLION STARS!!!

   Welcoming hostess and atmosphere. Took our drink order upon being seated and after twenty minutes, we finally received our drinks. Restaurant wasn’t overly crowded at this point but certainly beginning to get more guests. We ordered an appetizer when our drinks came and noticed how others who were seated after us were getting their orders. Our server assured us that it was on the way. We inquired a few times over forty minutes when our starter finally arrived with an apology but no explanation. Our server noted that it would be discounted due to our wait which we appreciated. We asked to order out of concern that our entrees would be delayed too. The entrees were excellent and presented well but most don’t include sides. With the prices that was a bit surprising. Even the mussels aren’t served with any bread! Imagine sitting with a starter bowl of mussels and no accompanying bread! That was unexpected with fine dining. Staff was friendly but seemed stressed and possibly not trained to manage the customers who were there by the time we left as we noticed how full the restaurant was at that point. They seemed to cater more to members as we noticed several regulars having better service and servers having longer conversations with those who paid for membership.

   A great place with great staff, great views and great food! Fall is the perfect time to enjoy lunch or dinner on the outside terrace overlooking the golf course. A lunch stop usually includes a burger or a pizza and dinner can easily be a bunch of shareable plates.

   The food was delicious! We had the lamb lollipops, the bison burger, the scallops, & the strawberry mousse cheesecake for dessert. We loved the open kitchen, the views of the golf course, & it minimal noise level. We’ll definitely go back when it cools down to sit outside. This is definitely a hidden gem.

   Travelers Rest has been waiting for this! This restaurant boasts a beautiful view of the local golf course and surrounding mountain range. The live music made for a great relaxing atmosphere. We really liked the calamari and crispy brussel sprout appetizers! The scallop entrée was one of the best I've ever tasted!! The scallops were the biggest I have ever had and cooked perfectly!! The Old Fashioned was one of the best we've enjoyed. This is certainly one of the more classy date night places in TR. We will definitely be returning here and exploring more of the menu!

    We have been to Core 450 in the past and it was really good. This time not so much. Food was just ok. Service and staff were both great! Newer menu and the steak part was way over priced compared to our last experience. Steaks were good on first trip but not so impressed to pay the prices they have currently and then get sides separately. We ordered other items than steak this time and just were not as satisfied as our last visit. We dine out often and at many different restaurants and don’t mind paying for good food and atmosphere. We just did not feel it this visit. May consider to try again if we hear they make some changes.

    Server was incredible, polite, knowledgeable and attentive. We ordered the land and sea chefs special. While pricey, it was beautiful and delicious. I will say the 50day aged steak was not very tender, and I did not enjoy the flavor, but my husband did. The scallops were incredibly tasty and the steamed buns were a wonderful surprise. We will be back.

    All four in our party was very happy with the wait staff. They were friendly and answered all questions. After our order was in we all thought it was avery long time till we got our food. Finally our salads came and 2 of us had the Southern which was crammed with lettuce, also the cornbread was crumbly. Don't know if it was meant to be that way or not? Everyone was happy with their entrees. My pork chop was overcooked but tasted OK but that was a little disappointing. Atmosphere was fine. Since there were few people in the dining room we thought the outdoor patrons perhaps got their food more timely.

    The setting was wonderful and we'll definitely be back based on that alone! As far as the food goes, the Southern Salad was really disappointing. The greens were wilted and the crispy onions and croutons were soggy and flavorless. The dressing also didn't have any flavor at all. Unfortunately, there aren't many vegetarian options so a salad was about the only choice for me. When our food came, we weren't given any utensils, napkins, or plates so we had to find someone to bring them. My parents also weren't offered a glass for their can of beer. My parents enjoyed their pizza though and we all absolutely loved the view. My Dad couldn't stop raving about it! It was our first time there and we will definitely return and give it another chance. It's a beautiful place!

    The service and food was great. However; I can't say that I'll go back unless a few things change. 1. My mashed potatoes were put on my plate in a smear which gave me very little and caused the potatoes to get cold quickly. The staff quickly got me a side bowl of potatoes to correct. 2. There was only one vegetable side to chose from on the menu. 3. My steak was well cooked and tasted fine, not much seasoning but that was okay. The steak was covered with large pieces of salt and then a small bed of greens. Biting into large chunks of salt wasn't good. The staff and atmosphere was great!

    I have dined here several times and like it. The food is very good but the service is not fabulous. Waitress was not especially attentive. I still don’t understand why all of the food continues to come out at once or sometimes 1 plate at a time. It’s unpredictable. Don’t like eating in front of people but also don’t want my food getting cold. That aspect needs to improve but because the quality of food is so good, I will come back,

    Service (Wait Persons) disorganized. Appetizers and Entree's were served at the same time - seriously! IMO - clearly a Lack of Training! Following that, there was no offer of "Dessert Menu" or options. Perhaps they don't make/carry Dessert in the Restaurant? Many better Restaurants in the Travelers Rest area -

    This was our first time at Core 450. Overall it was a good experience. My husband ordered the scallop which he said were phenomenal. The price was reasonable. I ordered a salad that was very good but extremely overpriced for the portion size. They were out of one item and our server brought the wrong wine. We will give it another try.

    Food was cold upon arrival (eggs Benedict). English muffin was not even toasted before adding egg and sauce. Service was good. Ambiance is very good. “Greeting” was less than enthusiastic. Waited nearly 10 minutes to get a server to greet us at our table. Burgers looked fantastic.
