We had dinner here at the end of 3 days in Blowing Rock. We were guests of the Inn which houses this restaurant so we had an idea of the quality to come. We started with perfectly made lavender old fashioneds and moved on to lobster bisque, followed by veal scalopine Marsala. For dessert, we went crazy, sharing the Granny Smith apple pie, créme brûlée, chocolate Kahlua toffee mousse cake, a chocolate martini and a chocolate espresso martini. Wow! So much fine food complete with a lovely ambience and excellent service!

Made reservations to dine here during our vacation. What a great, and relaxing dinner we had. Everything was top notch. Everyone was so friendly..even the other patrons. Food was great! Your basic Steakhouse type menu. However, the recipes/freshness of the food take it to another level. It’s a rare thing to see a traditional upscale restaurant like this do everything so great, without being pretentious. Best Cellar did just that! Can’t wait to return. Try the Banana cream pie for dessert. You won’t regret it!

Had dinner tonight and what a wonderful dining experience! Have tried to have dinner here several times but always forget to book a reservation weeks in advance. We live in Daytona Beach but have visited Blowing Rock 4 times this year. Our server Sissy was great as well as all of the supporting staff. The setting was romantically beautiful, the food was fabulous, and we loved the desserts. My Wife loved the wine, lobster bisque and Halibut with squash. We both agreed my Filet was the highlight of the meal. We were full but had to try the desserts. She had a chocolate mousse cake which was fabulous and I had their famous banana cream pie. Absolutely recommend this restaurant but get your reservation a month in advance.

We eat there several times each summer, beginning about 2006-7-ish. We’ve never been disappointed in the food or service! The inn is beautiful, historic, impressive yet cozy so the ambiance is great. There are nice options for outdoor and indoor dining. The duck is absolutely amazing! I don’t remember ever having anything that wasn’t really good. I have to be gluten-free, but my husband doesn’t, and we’ve both always been very pleased with the menu options.

The Peddler is our favorite restaurant for the best steaks ever. It is perfect for a date or to impress someone on business. The general manager, Tristan, knows what we order before we even sit down

My fiancé and I went there for her birthday. The valet didn’t take our truck and just waived us through. The service from Ri was great. I had the fillet and she had the veal. Drinks were on point. Oysters Rockefeller was also great. We made reservations prior to our trip.

One of our favorites in Blowing Rock. The service here is always stellar and to be frank the patrons over the years have been interesting, entertaining, pleasant dining companions. I love that this is a place for all age groups which you see because most are vacationers except for the strong group of locals that dine there regularly. This most recent visit was a Friday night and the place was busy but not slammed. Started with oysters Rockefeller which were tasty but the oysters were tiny, luck of the draw. Next up were garden salads that come with the entrees. Their blue cheese dressing is stellar and the salad ingredients very fresh. I had the slow braised beef short ribs which is enough to feed two. They are super tasty and very tender. Husband had the New Zealand Rack of Lamb which was perfectly cooked and quickly devoured down to gnawing on the bones. Entrees come with mashed new potatoes and choice of sides. I did asparagus and husband did the stuffed zucchini and both were good. Always a nice wine selection and good pour for cocktails and such but the bar does tend to get backed up with seating for dinner.

Start getting into a great place for special occasions or if you want to take a trip and get out of Johnson City. The food ranges from above average to excellent, and the menu is very. Desserts are excellent also as is the coffee. To drive from Johnson City to blowing Rock has some really good scenery in views. I’ve been here about five times and will continue to come back. Try the rack of lamb or the duck comma and the oysters Rockefeller.

WOW.. we had such a memorable dinner here. My mom is hard of hearing, so I had requested a quiet table (something that is often not accommodated) and we were sat at the quietest possible table.. in the wine cellar! The food was delicious and the service was next-level. Sissy, our waitress, was super attentive and friendly. Thanks so much–we’ll definitely be back!

Overall great service from our server that’s worked there for 2 days, my food was great, my wife’s food was lack luster. The braised short ribs were cold when she first got them, so, then asked them not to be microwaved. When she got her dish back 3 mins later, they had definitely been microwaved! She even saw where she cut a piece off prior to sending back. Seasoning was fair, but more salt could have been helpful! All the apps we had were great! We want to try this place again, but after some improvements are made!
