    Magnificent! We came for the sunset view — which might be the best in all of WNC — and enjoyed the entire dining experience. The food is high quality and prepared with a lot of love. The service was equal to fine dining but was also warm and welcoming which put everyone at ease to relax and enjoy the nature around us. This will always be our top pick for a special night out.

    Our experience from the moment of walking up to the hostess stand until we left was absolutely amazing. The attention to detail was above expectation, from offering sunglasses due to the beautiful sunset and even an offer by the Manager to move us to a different table due to the sun glare while we were there for the sunset but the offers were appreciated. Food and drinks were incredible and the space was extremely well thought out! This is a must see spot especially for the views, drinks, food and service! We will definitely return.
