Special Dinner
The sauces here are like a fine French restaurant, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. There is a live piano player and the service is great. This would be a good choice for a special event like a birthday or anniversary.

Everything on the menu is gluten free but that doesn't mean it doesn't taste fabulous. I really like their pancakes but they are open for dinner too. It is kind of a small place, so it might be hard to fit a large group.

Food scene
The Thai food here is very good and it has a drive thru! So, you don't even have to get out of your car for good ethnic food. I recommend the Thai Street Noodle Soup (it is my favorite!) but we heard that the Pad Thai is the most popular dish!

Good wings is a start for why this restaurant made it into my guide book. Also, it has a casual sports bar vibe situated on a beautiful lake with fall colors on the opposite shore.

In Biltmore Plaza this place has great food. I would describe as asian fusion but you can tell me if you think there is a better way to describe. Everything I have tried here has been delicious.

Oh my goodness! The pastrami sandwich is really delicious! Easy casual setting right on Main Street for a quick lunch while out for a day of shopping (they do close at 3 so don't dawdle). Highly recommend!

The place of 500 steps, and an elevator for those who think 500 steps may be a bit much. Beautiful views of the valley from a birds eye perspective. You can also hike to the top of the waterfall, but I recommend hiking to the bottom instead, it is an easy walk and you can actually get in the water at the end of it.

Beautiful views of the blue ridge mountains in the distance. Lots of weddings here, the name comes from a story about lost love - if you visit you can read about it (I don't want to spoil it!) If the map program takes you to Poinsetta Park, go back out to the main road and turn left - follow it up about 3.5 miles to the right spot.
