This restaurant in the small town of Hayesville, North Carolina is absolutely world class. We had dinner there this past week and everything from a drink in the bar before dinner to the decadent desserts after dinner was A plus!! We have been there many times, as we have a summer home in the mountains; and we have never had a bad meal there. If you are in the vicinity of western NC, take the time to find the Copper Door. You'll be glad you did.

Reservation was made on Open Table. We were seated promptly at the appointed time. Accommodations were made for a motorized chair for one of my guests. Our server was well versed on the menu and specials. We all started with the red pepper bisque. It was served hot and was delicious. All 3 of us had filets--cooked perfectly and tender. The sides were great -- baked potato, sweet potato mash and grits as well as the vegetables. Will definitely be back. Wait staff was attentive without being obtrusive.

We went here for my husbands birthday while we were staying in town for a wedding. The food and the service were absolutely exceptional! The Chef came out and greeted us and also made a special birthday cake for us. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone who would like an enjoyable, relaxing,delicious, meal with superb service.

Great place to dine...wonderful staff, owner who is truly running the restaurant, wonderful food , good wine list. A true gem in the mountains..close to Hiawasee, Blairsville, Murphy. but worth the drive from farther points.. prices have recently increased but still a great value .

During our month stay in Hayesville, we dined here three times! Always, the service was attentive without being cloying. The food was outstanding. This is the best filet I've had since the last time I was at Chick and Ruth's....totally wonderful. The sides were fresh and interesting. The best thing was the dessert called Creme Suzanne...Yum. My husband said the salmon was outstanding. Be sure and try this one... A cut above anything in the area.
