    We had a wonderful experience at The Dining Room! The food was amazingly flavorful and cooked precisely to order. Our friendly waiter James was extremely professional, attentive and accommodating. We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and our dessert came with "Happy Anniversary" on the plate! We were more than happy with our overall dinner and will definitely return!!!

    Great evening celebrating a special occasion. Beautiful dining room and service overall was very good. The amuse bouche was very tasty and the first course of foie gras was delicious. My main course of chicken roulade was good but a little dry. I had berry sorbet to finish that again was delicious as it was not too sweet. I recommend The Dining Room, Biltmore Estate and will definitely return when we’re in the area

    Our experience was wonderful. James, our Captain, ensured everything was to our liking. He allowed us to sample some wines prior to making our selection, and he also gave us a complimentary glass of Gruner Veltliner because he thought it would go well with our entrees. The food was excellent. My wife had the tilefish which was beautifully prepared and presented. And the taste lived up to the presentation. I had the Cioppino which had plenty of shellfish and a very delicious broth. The Creme Brulee was among the best I've had. My wife and I are from Chicago and are quite used to fine dining in high end restaurants. The experience at the Dining Room at Biltmore Estate compares quite favorably to the better restaurants in the Big City. And at a more reasonable price point as well. Highly recommended.

    Wow! WE had an amazing meal...we appreciated being able to split our appetizer and main meal...more than enough for us... And the meal was fabulous, foie gras (with a glass of sauterne), Joyce Farms Chicken Roulade (amazing!) and Matcha Opera for dessert, with expresso...with the Antler Hill Cabernet...al with friendly, professional, and timely service.

    All in all a very nice dinner, but there is room for improvement. In short, food, while delicious, should be served hotter. Soups, appetizers and entrees were all tepid in temperature. Some plates heated, some not, but each course not even close to hot. Similarly, I don't believe the martinis ordered from bar were served in chilled glasses. Once again, food was very tasty, well seasoned and constructed. As a local, I will certainly go again but hope these thoughts will be considered.

    Service, food and ambiance is a 10 plus. Definitely worth it especially today more and more restaurants are very casual with attention to linens and service although food is tops it’s nice to get dressed and enjoy some fancy atmosphere. The lobby is gorgeous . Want to take the time to mention your staff member Paul Holzinger. After dinner, waiting outside for Biltmore ride back to village Paul personally drive us back since van never arrived. Above and beyond Paul went with super hospitality. All Biltmore staff displayed 10 plus throughout our visit. Whatever Biltmore uses to train their staff it works. Great philosophy no matter where you are while staying at the Biltmore Estate.

    Excellent evening once we got to the right place. The open table map shows the cafe next to the main house. The dinner is actually at the dining room in the hotel which is a 45 minute walk from the house. Cloe is one of the managers at the home and she piled 5 of us into her personal vehicle and drove us to the correct place!!! Then, rather than calling us an uber or car, the hotel concierge had the shuttle take us back to DT Asheville. Such an experience!

    The buffet breakfast was delicious! We could not have asked for more. Our dinner the night before was very good for me but not my husband- I had the chicken roulade and he ordered Carbonnara- it had an egg on top - not described -he likes classic egg scrambled in the pasta - he thought it was pretty ordinary sauce wise.

    I had the Pappardelle with mushrooms. Quantity small; I had to search for the mushrooms; a bit pasty and flavor was just ok. I would not order this again. Service was top notch. Overall dining experience was ok. I would dine there again but would be cautious as to what I order.
