Summer was the nicest and most-attentive server. Everything was delicious! Confident that this is the best Red Lobster I’ve ever eaten at in the South in all my years!

Food and service were great. Food came out timely. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was a lot of fun. The play and eat deal was the best value.

We’ve been loyal customers for years. It’s our favorite restaurant in Blowing Rock. In their new location, if anything, they are even better. Quit reading and book a table.

Outstanding in every aspect of our visit. From the moment we arrived (45mins early) to when we departed, everything was beyond our expectation. One of the best restaurants we’ve ever experienced while vacationing! A definite must next time we visit North Carolina.

Chetola is one of the most beautiful settings in the Blowing Rock area. Haven, its signature restaurant, offers delicious food and drinks and attentive service in a cozy, intimate setting. It is especially appealing in the fall, with fires blazing and nature putting on a show outdoors. Put on your sweater and enjoy a cocktail by the firepit followed by lunch or dinner on the patio. Or dine indoors and enjoy the fireplace. You may get a bit nostalgic for bygone times in lovely, historical Chetola.

If you go, you really need to try the mixed grill appetizer. I think next time I want it as my entree. Ours had chunks of boar and elk and boar and venison sausages with 3 very different, but delicious, dipping sauces. Yum. The rest of the meal was delicious but that mixed grill was amazing.

    Our server, George, was amazing. He gave excellent recommendations and was spot on. We had the Cuban crepe as our appetizer. I’m so glad we did!! It was amazing. Absolutely delicious and so flavorful. For our entrees we had the ramen and the ribeye. Both were delicious as well. All the the different flavors from both dishes were impressive. They definitely know what they’re doing there.
