The Orchard Restaurant, Events Barn & Guest Cottage

Absolutely wonderful evening! We almost stayed in but so thankful we didn’t. From the moment we walked in we felt like we were on the best date ever. Great atmosphere. We dressed business casual and fit right in. Ordered the chicken liver appetizer and it was the best livers my husband has ever had. The soup of the day was delicious. And we both ordered the pecan trout and was blown away. It was by far the best trout we’d had. We would give them a 10 if it was available. Kathy our server made our night even better. She was spot on, friendly and personable. We will definitely be back.

We booked a reservation here to celebrate my parent’s anniversary and though the food was great, we were disappointed by the overall experience. Whenever gratuity is automatically added to a group (6+ people), I’ve always questioned if we will get the appropriate service since it doesn’t need to be earned like the other tables. We were greeted warmly by the front and our server, the food was well flavored and it’s a cute mountain vibe which any tourist will enjoy. For a table of 6, the bill was several $100 dollars and we walked away feeling like we overplayed. First, we were not served bread like the other tables; it was only after 30 minutes or more that we asked our server about it and he blamed it on someone else not bringing it to us. Note: he delivered bread to all the other tables

A cute cozy spot with really good food! Our server was fantastic for a large party. Loved the seafood pasta and it came out so hot. Loved it!

Delicious food, fresh ingredients, excellent service! My wife had the wild mushroom ravioli and I enjoyed a special offering of Steak au Poivre which was perfectly prepared with their special touch. We visit the area every summer and finally made reservations in advance, so thankful that we did! Great place for a special occasion, noting that it isn’t inexpensive but is well worth it. We can’t wait to visit again!

The Orchard has never disappointed us, and thus it was last night. As we walked from the parking lot I noticed only one other license plate from North Carolina. The farthest away was from Michigan! Our table overlooked the orchard! As usual the service was impeccable and the food wonderful! I ordered the Glenville Trout. WOW! As you can see, I was unable to finish it and am looking forward to lunch today!
