“Had a great meal at LP on Main. The Caesar salad was crisp and balanced, the fries were dangerously good and addicting, and the hanger steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The scallops were beautifully seared and delicious. And the sticky toffee pudding… honestly life changing. Great food, great atmosphere, the service was incredible and professional and a place I’ll definitely be returning to. Pineapple Planet Wilderness Guide out.🍍🌲”
“Amazing service!!! We made a reservation weeks in advance. But, canceled last minute because we were staying at the top of beech mountain and I overreacted with anxiety about the drive back up. We ended up just walking in hoping to still get a table. The hostess handled my blunder so graciously! We had a to wait a bit, but it was SO worth it. The yellowfin tuna and ribs were big standouts. Monica’s wine recommendation was on the nose. It’s a bit loud inside, but it won’t take long for the food to down everything else out.”
“This is the best restaurant in the High Country. Always such a delightful experience with the most friendly and welcoming owners and staff. The food is always amazing. The shrimp and grits are my the best I have had away from the coast, the crab cake and the sticky toffee pudding are perfect. The atmosphere is so unique with a personal touch on each table. I’d recommend LP to everyone!”
“Service and vibe was great at this place. The silverware were wrapped simply annd decoratively. Ambiance is great here annd glass ware was great. Unfortunately most of the dishes or main components missed the mark. The Caesar Salad was seriously the star of the show. If you go you need to get it. The rest felt like simple dishes complicated with trying to be “different”. There were great aspects to some of the food but overall I think we all felt like it the dishes were over seasoned/on the salty side. Bison meatloaf was seriously over seasoned almost trying to hide the flavor of the Bison itself but was rescued by the impeccable one of the best we’ve ever had Mac and cheeses. The Cioppino was lacking for $52, broth was good but came with two small shrimp, two small scallops and a very small piece of fish with tiny circular chorizo sliced like pepperoni. It was just lacking compared to any other hearty version of this dish I’ve had. The salmon was good and the sides were again very seasoned and more on the salty side. The short rib was great and probably the only dish that was thoroughly enjoyed in its entirety. The lobster gravy poutine was good, again very over seasoned with not quite cheese curds more of a cheese sauce blotches and shoe string fries so the potatoes portion of the dish was just soggy. It may very well be a preference thing when it comes to the amount of seasoning and flavors combined in these dishes. I love seasoning but also want to enjoy the flavor of what I am eating. The place is very nice and the service was incredible. I just wish things were a little bit simpler and seasoned without so much salt. Would not return for this current menu but would happily return to try something new. 4 stars because everything but the food was amazing.”
“This used to be a wonderful restaurant but, my experience on the last several visits was mediocre. The food is good but overpriced for the overall experience. The service is mediocre and the waitstaff are not knowledgeable about the food or (sadly) the extensive wine list. On this visit I ordered the salmon (which my server described as wild Pacific but turned out to be Scottish). I asked for a wine recommendation and they said, “get what you like,”. I asked if there was anything unusual that would pair well and they said they didn’t drink wine but suggested I get a beer. If it was less expensive I’d give more stars but they advertise fine dining.”
