The Restaurant at Gideon Ridge

As always, the service is top notch. The menu is always different and wonderful. Chef Hunter uses only the freshest ingredients procured from the local area when possible. Our meals were high quality and delicious! Thank you for making our birthday dinners special!

I surprised my husband for his birthday and we stayed at Gideon’s Ridge and had dinner with them. The food was absolute perfection! The escargots were tender and perfectly cooked. The duck was delicious but HANDS DOWN the skate was to-die-for delicious! The chef is very friendly and stopped to talk with each diner, and gave us tips on how he prepared the skate. We plan on making this a yearly ritual (preferably several times a year)!

Amazing food!! We are never disappointed!

Beautiful property with a intimate atmosphere and awesome food !

Great staff. Great atmosphere. Great food.

Arrived a few minutes early, offered drinks and room to relax. The food preparation and presentation was out of sight. The taste could not have been better. We had a very nice evening.

It was excellent! The food was incredibly delicious and fresh and the waitress was so knowledgeable and attentive. Great wine and cocktails too! The restaurant is a beautiful inn with old world class, but not stuffy. Love the restroom as well. Very clean and well appointed.

One of my all-time favorite restaurants. Creative seasonal local options, perfectly prepared. Amazing experience.

Great food, great service, wonderful experience!

We love eating at the Gideon Ridge when we are in Blowing Rock. The food is incredible and it has a cozy atmosphere.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend l!

Great cozy spot. Great Chef. Don't miss it. You'll be glad you went.

We chose between several tables, which is always appreciated. Service & cuisine are consistently excellent & the gifted chef is quite charming as he engages before & after the dining experience.
Whether visiting or residing in,
Gideon’s Ridge is a must dine destination!

Excellent personal service by the staff. Servers had knowledge of a previous reservation cancellation due to weather.

My first experience and I loved it! The winter salad was amazing!!

Fantastic food, good ambiance, top shelf liquours, good service. A great place for a special occasion dinner.

Simply a wonderful meal for four longtime friends who have eaten at many restaurants together around the world. It will be one of our best memories

The absolute best restaurant in Blowing Rock! Plan ahead, reservations are hard to get!

What a delightful evening! The service Sarah provided was professional and very comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious. We sat next to a cozy fire and enjoyed every minute of our evening. I can’t really say enough about how lively this restaurant is.

The tuna and trout appetizer was fresh and tasty. The lamb sirloin was wonderful, cooked properly and we'll presented

Liked the cozy ambiance and especially liked sitting in front of the fireplace. The service was very good. We thought the food was good, but not quite the wow we expected. We would definitely try it again.

Everything was top notch. Duck is amazing!

Excellent food and service!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! I love this place. Every time we visit NC we HAVE to eat here. We call this place our special hideaway. The food is beyond amazing and the views of the sunset over the mountains is like no other. This place is very special. We always have the best time here and the service is excellent. It is a hidden gem in the mountains of North Carolina. Best food, best wine and best views. You feel special when you eat here because of their limited seating and exquisite food options. Fine dining at it's best! 10 stars all around.

What a fantastic experience!! Everything was perfect! We arrived a little early for our reservation, so we had drinks in the library while waiting for our table. The food was phenomenal. My husbands lamb was a little undercooked for his preference, but it tasted great nonetheless. My duck entree was one of the best meals that I have ever eaten. Overall great experience!

Quiet, relaxed atmosphere with superb food and an attentive chef

Excellent meal and service. Definitely the best restaurant in Blowing Rock.

We had an excellent dinner. The food was creative and beautifully presented. The service was excellent with very good timing between courses. The cocktails were delicious too.

Nasty weather night... ended up being a truly quiet, romantic, dinner. Wait staff was very attentive and food was exquisite. The restaurant is tied to the Inn. It's at the top of the mountain next to "the Blowing Rock"

We have been repeat customers over the years. Never fails to meet our greatest expectations.

Excellent dining experience. The food was outstanding and the service was the absolute best!

Food presentation and taste is some of the best we’ve ever had! Service was great as well!
Will definitely be going back!

This was our 5th visit over the past 5-6 years when we visit Blowing Rock and they haven't missed a beat. Nothing better than watching the sun set over Grandfather Mountain while having a cocktail on the patio. The food and drinks are outstanding as well making this restaurant a must see when in the area.

Wonderful time with interesting wait staff honoring pleasant presentation of food including well prepared Octopus salad and an excellent Mushroom fondue as appetizers followed by an exceptional brussel sprout salad with an entree of a great pork chop.

This was our 1st time at the restaurant and the ratings that we read about it were on target. The food was outstanding. One reviewer said it was as good as the Artisinal, which is our favorite restaurant, so we had to go here. It is as good as the Artisinal. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. We will be back.

We were not expecting to be so blown away by the food here! Made a last-minute overnight stop at Gideon Ridge, and managed to get a reservation for dinner. The food was absolutely outstanding, and Corey was such a friendly and knowledgeable server. Even if you are not staying there, I highly recommend eating there if possible! One of the very best restaurants in Blowing Rock.
