   The Beacon sets a gold standard of excellent quality and gourmet dining. We are delighted that Boone has a restaurant of this caliber and wish them a long successful career. We were happy to see the use of veggies and greens and would love to see more fresh vegetable sides on the menu.

   My husband got the rack of lamb and it was so good. My risotto was a little watery and bland and the duck on the dry side but everything else - wings, kale and root veggie salad, sides- was stellar

   The food was fine. The restaurant is cool and trendy inside. I would have preferred that they sat people further apart while they could. There were 3 open two tops side by side and they sat another couple in the open two top closest to us instead of the open tables on the other side. The cornbread was excellent, as was the arancini. My ribeye was good, but not $52 good. There's nothing wrong with Beacon, but for what we spent it would have been nice if our server was more available. Also, the cocktails were good but the bar took forever to get our two rounds of drinks out to us. Beacon isn't bad, they just don't justify the cost of dining there in my opinion.

    Food was not fantastic. Appetizers were good but bolognese was the size of a side dish and I actually stopped at Food Lion on the way home to buy more food cause I was still hungry. Seriously. Bathroom was larger than I would have thought, which was an unexpected bonus. Waitress was wonderful.

    Great evening spent for the first time at the Beacon. Live music was a tad too loud; however, the food and service were excellent. One caveat, our waitress never stated the specials (we over heard another waitress after we had already placed our order. Not a buzz kill. Highly recommend this place and Reid’s in Banner Elk!

    Hostess was welcoming and on point Everything (service and food) was swift and well presented. Well staffed, didn't feel hectic. The charcuterie board was great, maybe could've used more meat, but I'm a vegetarian so to me it was perfect. Lots of meal options, Give Thanks pizza was unique and divine. Will return to try other fare and marvel at their pretty meat oriented entrees.

    We enjoyed the music on Tuesday so much we wish you had them more than one night. We loved the music. The food was delicious but would like it if you could put some type of potato on the menu for one of your sides.

    Lovely food and decor (albeit the cow modern print over the fireplace is a bit strange lol). We have not complaints except the music was a bit loud for comfortable conversation. We enjoyed ourselves, will definitely come again!

    The $52 ribeye was VERY overpriced. It was ordered medium and came medium rare at best. It was supposed to be 12 oz and looked to be closer to 8. The meat was not a good cut and the fact that it was undercooked made it very chewy. The smoked chicken also came out undercooked Each entree came with an entire skillet of corn bread. Four times more than most people want with their meal. The okra was excellent and service was great. Atmosphere is great. May return to get a drink at the bar but won’t eat.

    My family and I were pleased to have an outstanding meal on our last visit to Boone. The decor is relaxed yet sophisticated; the food is amazing. We enjoyed live music and creative cocktails. It was great to be able to make a reservation. It’s easy to find off of 105 and away from the craziness of Kong St on parents weekend. If you like simple country cooking you won’t like it. The flash fried okra is light and crunchy, not greasy and heavy. The cheeseboard was generous and creative, loved the honeycomb!

    Beacon is top notch. Crab cakes were our appetizer, which were slightly different from traditional, but very good. Wife had the beef tenderloin & I had the pork chop. Both were cooked exactly to our liking & flavor was outstanding. Sauces & finishes were wonderful. Would recommend asking for sauce on the side if you aren’t familiar with the taste. Sides complemented main courses extremely well. My sides were great, but my wife’s sides of okra & cornbread were out of this world good! I had side envy. Dessert of apple pie was very good as well. Wine was very, very reasonable for quality & paired nicely with meal. My gamay was just right & wife enjoyed the rose. Beacon does not have an extensive menu, but what they offer is done exceptionally well. Overall, it was a bargain for the type of food received. In many other places, the meal would have cost a multiple of what was paid. Compliments to the chefs & staff for a wonderful dining experience!

    We had a wonderful experience and really good food. Servers were very attentive. We returned on the 17th and also had a great experience until the staff decided it was time to close about 9:30 and turned up very loud music and started closing cleaning procedures. I understand they were ready to go home but we had a late reservation and shouldn’t have been rushed.

    My wife and I were visiting from out of town and a friend of ours recommended The Beacon Butcher Bar. We could not be more pleased with decision to dine here. The food was quite flavorful and the drinks were creative and delicious. We had the Fried Eggplant + Okra as a starter. For entrees, I had the "Fish of the Day" and my wife had the 1/2 Smoked Chicken from the "Butcher Bar". It was a perfect date night!
