What people are saying

Great food and environment. Inside is much classier than the outside suggests. Service was amazing…attentive, fun, respectful and their recommendations were on point. Where else can you get Felix’s tableside masterpieces? Will definitely be back next time we’re in town.

What a great fine this was! We had the tuna tartare, duck two ways, fettuccine and the bananas foster – which was the pièce de résistance, was it was flambéed table side by Felix. The wine choices were great, the food was excellent and the service was too notch. Well done!

Best restaurant and best service in Banner Elk! We were here two out of three nights and were really satisfied. Reservations are needed since the chef’s table portion upstairs is more upscale and is much smaller than the bottom two restaurants.
