The Village of Banner Elk

Loved this whole area, I ate an incredible meal at Sorrentos which was amazing while listening to live piano bar tunes. The outdoor arena hosted a band that was so fun and full of energy. Loved my vacation! Quaint and beautiful area!

We arrived in Banner Elk late and in the middle of snow coming down in April. Every place was pretty much closed except the bar part of this restaurant. The manager on duty was very accommodating and opened up a spot in the closed dining section, after we realized the bar was playing really loud (but good music).

We are thinking that we will dine here way more often than when it was Barra.

I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed The Village of Banner Elk experience this past weekend! A destination girl’s weekend birthday celebration was highlighted with impeccable dining at Sorrentos Italian Bistro and Prime 21 Steakhouse. The cuisine was top notch and I was impressed with the generous portion size of each exquisite meal. Saturday night at the Bayou was unforgettable; from a comfortable outdoor setting featuring live music to handcrafted cocktails. Our experience at The Village continued when we were immersed with an interactive DJ and dance experience at Prime 21 Steakhouse (beginning at 10 pm); comparable to my younger days in clubs in DC and Chicago! If you’ve been craving a getaway that features beautiful mountain scenery, exquisite cuisine, and unforgettable memories, I h
