    July 2nd and the weather was perfect for either outside patio dining or inside. We chose a window table inside. Tabitha was an excellent waitress and even shared a few other sights to see as we had hiked to Rainbow Falls that day. We had the Veal Saltimbocca, the Filet of Beef and Crispy Brussels Sprouts which were like a desert in themselves. Order Medium Rare on the Steak to get the perfect Medium. It was succulent. Views of the lake and boats passing nearby while dining was special. Overall a wonderful experience.

    we always look forward to our times at the lake for lunch! On this day, one of the workers was using a blower during our meal. Not only was it loud, the gas fumes and the dirt flying was blowing our way. Our waitress was very helpful to ask him to please stop, and he was a little short with her and continued.  other than that, the food was absolutely amazing as always.

    Our dining experience was excellent. The view over Lake Toxaway was beautiful. The food and service (Lindsey) was very enjoyable. My wife's grouper dish was perfect, the filet of beef I had was cooked as requested and the presentation was very nice. The strawberry rhubarb cobbler was superb. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We did not stay at the Inn but made a reservation for brunch at the restaurant. I'm a former fine dining server, so I'm usually pretty forgiving, but this place really needs better leadership and staff training! Just walking to the front door of the restaurant, one feels as if it's not the right way-- down a steep narrow walkway with vague signage to a heavy closed door. At 9:30 am on a Sunday, staff was still cleaning the bathrooms and carpet. We were shown to a table with a lovely view of the lake, and that was the only highlight of the morning. Our server was not friendly or helpful. She practically rolled her eyes when my husband asked for a clean coffee cup and I asked for a spoon for my sugar and cream. The coffee was lukewarm. The menu we were given was abbreviated from the one on their website. There was no mention on it of not permitting substitutions. My husband asked if he could modify a dish and was given a flat, "No." My blueberry pancakes and side of bacon were pretty good, but my husband's egg breakfast was equivalent to Denny's. Since he wasn't permitted to substitute his side of bread for a biscuit, we ordered an additional side of 2 biscuits. They were raw in the middle! Our server never bothered to check back with us, so I asked the host to take it off our bill. He took the plate and literally poked his finger in one of the biscuits and said, "They are slightly undercooked." Other than a group who appeared to be staying at the Inn, we were the only customers. We walked over to the main building and observed a similar lack of attention to detail. It looked dingy and run down. Not even a fire lit on a chilly, rainy morning. I would avoid this place altogether.
