    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.

    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.
