    You’re paying for the view, it is beautiful and nice to be on the historic grounds. My advice, eat somewhere else first, then go here for a cocktail or wine and cheeseboard or appetizer only during sunset. This place is about the view, the food is whatever. The place honestly had and old carpet/fish smell to it when I walked in. It’s overpriced for the quality, but it has a fancy affiliation. I ate way better food other places in Asheville.

    We had their signature seafood appetizer. It included Ahi, which was frozen, mushy, and sinewy. It was the worst Ahi we have ever had including at least 2 other Asheville restaurants. The shrimp was also mushy, meaning it had been frozen after it was cooked. This was inexcusable food for any restaurant, much less a $125 signature platter at a supposed 4* restaurant. We also had their trumpet mushrooms and there were only stems and the tops were burnt. The rest of the food was adequate.

    Beautiful view, of course! The food is also delicious, just slightly under seasoned. Also the price point for the steaks were interesting, and 8 oz was $70 and the 24 ounce was $140. Which means they could’ve priced the 8 oz better. All that aside, I brought my partner here to celebrate her birthday and the view was great. Our server was amazing.

    Was an excellent evening on the terrace. Service (Alex) was excellent as usual. We are local and go to the Inn very often. One disappointment was the French Onion soup. Normally comes with cheese and this meal came with two VERY small biscuits with a drop of cheese. This is not french onion soup. This is onion soup and should be so called just onion soup. We both ordered the soup and were very disappointed to say the least. We travel very often and know what a quality fresh onion soup is and should be.

    Food was very low quality. Shrimp cocktail looked and smelled strange. Chicken was over cooked and bland. Steaks were also over cooked. Service was great. Ambiance was outstanding. Drinks were really good too. Recommend going only for drinks.

    If In a large group reconsider. Very slow service. Likely due to the fact that we were a large party as all neighboring tables received faster service. Very salty food. When entrees are 40-50$ would expect a higher bar on service.

    I did a Ceasar Salas + a lobster tail for main. Crab cake and mia n cheese for appetizer. Bourbon crème brûlée for dessert. Argentina reserve Malbec wine to drink. Everything was perfect! That salad is HUGE by the way, perfect compliment to my lobster. I must admit i was STUFFED by the time i got dessert, i still ordered it because I wanted to taste it. Very yummy but boy was I full. Would 100% go again. My server was great too!

    Do servers have o run to one end to the long ding room for food and run to the other end for beverages/catsup/bill..? The wait staff was racing back and forth sometimes with empty hands like they forgot what they were looking for. They were VERY nice. That is the noisiest dining experience I have ever had. I could not wait to get out of there and enjoy one of the world's most beautiful dining rooms from the floor down from the dining room. My trout with the beurr blanc and fine sides was worth the whole unusual experience!
