   Wonderful food and service. Outside work being done on the building so some noise but didn’t detract from food or service

   First time dining there after several recommendations from friends. I like this restaurant very much! I sat on the covered dining patio, which has a great atmosphere. I ordered their mountain trout, which was excellent!! I love trout, and this is one of the best I've had at any restaurant on the plateau!

   We were a party of 6. All but one enjoyed their meal. Two had filets, 3 had scallops and they were delicious. The 6th wanted trout, but you were out of it and opted for salmon. It was very dry. Also the asparagus that accompanied all our meals was not cooked sufficiently...was pretty, but very tough. Desserts were awesome!

   While everyone around us seemed to enjoy good service, my husband and I had to wave our server over every time we had a request. Took 30 minutes to even get a drink. Food was pretty good, though.
   

   The Hidden Valley TavernResponded on June 1, 2023Good afternoon and thank you very much for your feedback! I'm sorry your service was slow. I've spent the past five years working for The Ritz-Carlton and one of my missions here is to train our staff to provide the best guest experience possible. If anything is ever less than perfect when dining with us, please ask to see me right away. Sincerely, Gary Russell - Wine Director

   Excellent entrees (trout) and salads ( Caesar). New, friendly sommelier (Gary) is ready to re-curate the wine offerings and intends to offer across the full price spectrum (we found the current offerings well priced). Server (Thomas) was attentive and polite. Only issue is the bizarre interior decor, like somebody puked Christmas everywhere with the addition of massive cheap fake flowers everywhere. Sit in the bar area or outside as the cavernous dining room appeared to be super noisy with no soft furnishings to absorb sound.

   A good start. I wish the owners had been there since it hasn’t been opened long. Enjoyed meeting the new sommelier. Love location and ambiance.

   The Hidden Old Fashioned was a terrific twist. We met the new wine program director and have high hopes for an improved and expanded wine list. The menu has an interesting variety of items and the food was terrific.

    We had a lovely dinner. However do not order calamari. All we got were some over coated tiny pieces of something. Could not tell what was really under the coating. Made us hesitant for rest of dinner order.

    Hidden Valley just opened last year. It is a neighborhood favorite. The food is good and the prices are reasonable. We probably dine there once a week. Everything we have had has been great! I highly recommend Hidden Valley.

    Mothers Day Brunch was more than delightful just like every experience at Hidden Valley. Food was delicious and the live music was perfect and to top it off a lovely flower as a parting gift. They are the best addition to the mountain!

    Overall a great experience. Food was pretty good. Omelette came out on a very small plate without any garnish whatsoever. Very thin and average at best. Service was excellent.

    Hidden Valley is a "hidden" gem in between Sapphire and Cashiers. I try something different each time I visit and each time the food and atmosphere is a wonderful experience. The servers work hard to make you feel special and the owners are over the top with their enthusiasm and care for their guests!

    Food was excellent as was the service. We had a 6:00 and the sun coming through the upper glass was totally blinding. Everyone sitting around us was complaining about the intense sun.. Maybe earlier or after 7:00.

    One of the best steak dinners we have ever had. The Brussel sprouts are the best!!! We will definitely eat here ofter. The Owner's greeted us on the patio when we arrived and asked how we enjoyed our dinner and thanked us for coming when we left.

    Hidden Valley Tavern is a wonderful addition to the dining scene in Sapphire. It is a charming place with great hospitality and a nice menu. The covered deck is inviting, even in cool weather, thanks to the roaring fireplace and cozy blankets if needed. Owners Vinnie and Nesli take good care of their guests, and Nesli always has the Tavern dressed in seasonal finery.

    Took the family there for wife's birthday dinner. Everything was excellent. My bad, but we had 5 people so I didn't expect the auto gratuity, didn't see it, and left additional 20%. My mistake. All was great, no complaints.

    This relatively new restaurant is a welcome addition to the sapphire area. Food is great. Service is great. The large dining room could use something to dampen the noise. This restaurant has the potential to be beautiful; however, my one peeve is the decor. It’s ridiculous and very tacky. The owners must also own a micheal’s store because the restaurant is filled with cheap artificial flowers and junk. They seriously need to edit the decor. That’s why I rated the ambiance 1 star.

    The scallops and trout entrees were excellent. The chicken Parmesan was very good, but the pasta was lackluster and devoid of much sauce. No additional grated cheese offered. Additional training in wine service is suggested. Two of us shared a bottle of red, while the other two had white. Beyond the first pour, we had to pour ourselves. Close to the end of the meal, we finally asked him to pour, which he did. His way of apologizing was to tell us how busy he was. There seems to be a rush to clear plates while others are still eating. Bottom line, this was our 6th visit and we love the place. Nesli & Vinny are marvelous hosts and we always have a good time. Great addition to the dining scene in Cashiers!
