    So me and my husband took our best friends out on their 6th wedding anniversary. I reserved it but when we got there it was closed so we had to eat out in the lobby by the bar. It made it less romantic and they did not get to experience the dining experience that we did when we first came back in December for Christmas. We were disappointed. The server at the bar was our server and waiter he did it all except cook. The food was not bad but it tasted better when we came before. It just seems like with the dinning room not open and not having a waiter and all of the fanfare that goes on was just not good but we stuck with it and continued to dine there. Next time I will call before coming cause no one called me to tell me the restaurant was closed. We paid a lot for this experience to be perfect for our friends to be disappointed on the dining experience and the attention you get when you are eating at a restaurant.

    The restaurant was under construction so they served the breakfast in the hotel lobby. It wasn't bad, the food was actually amazing. We had an all you can eat breakfast buffet. They had the best maple glazed bacon I've ever had! The biscuit and gravy was really good too! They also had a variety of fruit and even though they had scrambled eggs you were allowed to order an omelet or fried egg. We had a great time celebrating my gf's bday! Thank you!

    The food was delicious. No need to make reservations because they don’t even look. We didn’t have to wait however, there was plenty of open tables. They had a Buffet available, but we decided to go with the menu. Chose this place for the view, but it was sunset and blinds were closed, and there was no view to look at. Overall great service, food was very good.

    The service was absolutely terrible. There were less than 5 tables of customers in the restaurant. The waitress walked by our table, made eye contact with me, and never said a word more than once. We waited 15 minutes and then we finally just left. We definitely will not be back.

    We did not expect much so every surprise was a plus. The setting was lovely. The food, especially the included shrimp, smashed potatoes, mimosas and incredible desserts were delicious - the turkey was delicious but it was a SLAB not sliced relatively thinly. It was not inexpensive. We enjoyed ourselves

    We thoroughly enjoyed the Thanksgiving buffet here. While the presentation of the food was basic (like a cafeteria, except for the fancier carving station and dessert display), the food was fantastic. In addition to all the traditional favorites (great turkey, gravy, mashed and stuffing), my boy was thrilled to see a big display of shrimp. Prime rib was delicious and an added treat. And the desserts? I really had to control myself because they were AMAZING. Still dreaming of that cheesecake days later. The staff was gracious and eager to please. We would return in a heartbeat!

    Food was excellent. Service could have been better but it looked like they were understaffed. Our waitress was very nice! Tables were spread out so you didn’t feel like you were on top of other people. Also family friendly which was great because we had our 6 week old with us.

    Difficult to find, there were no signs showing the way to the restaurant in the resort. We just guessed. Beautiful lobby and bar area. The restaurant had a nice view of the golf course. The staff was super friendly. The food and drinks were fine. The wings were very tasty.

    The restaurant views are amazing but the service for dinner was poor. When asked questions about the menu the waitress seemed bothered a d rushed and started to leave the table again instead of wait if there were more questions. Plating of food was sloppy and it looked very greasy and un appetizing. The taste matches the appearance.

    We were driving in to Asheville and chose The Overlook as it was in the hotel where were staying. The main problem is that the restaurant was entirely closed at the time that I made reservations. We ended up eating at the bar and it was fine, but the business should be more consistent with the accuracy of their hours.

    The evening was great. The restaurant is away from all the noise and bustle, which is what we wanted. The only complaint I would voice is the lighting was a bit bright for evening dining. I’m an interior designer so I notice these things. Evening dining should be toned down abs cozy feeling. The lights themselves were beautiful but just put a dimmer on! Our server, manager, and food were wonderful. So I give 5 stars because those things are what matters in the end.

    Food was great. Not many people there. Wish waiter had sat us away from the three other tables where customers were just to have more privacy. With a big room and just a few customers, I felt I could overhear what everyone was saying because they put us all so close to one another. Other than that, it was a great time and great food and drinks.

    Even though a reservation with note of a special occasion and seat preference we were asked to wait in bar. It was very chaotic. The waiter was not friendly and the manager was unorganized and quite unfriendly. The food was reasonably priced. But I would NOT recommend this place for anything besides a quick bite to eat.
