The Dining Room - Biltmore Estate

“Exceptional service and ambiance. This must be how the guests of the Vanderbilts were treated back in the Gilded Age. All the staff serving us were very professional, proficient, and punctual. The food presentation was wonderful. We were allowed to savor each course; we were not rushed. Even the various mini muffins as bread were special and unique. The Burrata appetizer was a refreshing way to start. All the ingredients gave a medley of flavors and textures. The filet was prepared perfectly, with just a hint of seasonings, and served aside mashed potatoes with parsley (although not overpowering) and fresh vegetables from the farm on Biltmore. The meat was tender and juicy; melt in your mouth. The dessert menu is certainly unique; I’ve never been to a restaurant where the menu lights up! Our dessert was the carrot cake. Presented in a deconstructed manner, so all the various flavors could be enjoyed with every bite. Top notch elegant dining for sure. A wonderful experience.”

“We had the most incredible birthday dinner and I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the staff made the evening feel special and truly went above and beyond to make my birthday memorable. We ordered the duck and the elk, and both dishes were absolutely perfect. The duck was cooked beautifully with crisp skin and rich, flavorful meat, while the elk was tender, perfectly prepared, and seasoned to perfection. Every bite felt thoughtfully crafted and elevated without being overwhelming. It was one of those meals you keep talking about long after you leave. The service was just as impressive as the food—attentive, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure we had an amazing experience. They paid attention to every detail and made the celebration feel effortless and special. If you’re looking for a place for a special occasion—or simply an exceptional meal—this is it. We’ll definitely be back!”

“The Dining Room was an incredible experience with the most outstanding food for us. We loved our French Waiter, Ben, who made the night very enjoyable and snuck us extra bread rolls. The Crab, Elk and Raspberry dessert was the best meal we had had for a long time. Would love to come back again to visit.”

“We had a wonderful experience dining here! The service was exceptional. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Our server was knowledgeable about a gluten allergy and was helpful in suggestions. The food was delicious. When it took a little longer to come out, we were given a bottle of wine. We are season pass holders and will definitely be returning to dine here. It exceeded expectations and was a perfect birthday dinner.”

“Restaurant beautiful, service wonderful, and food amazing!! It is worth the price! We got the she crab soup as an appetizer, and it was amazing! As an entrée, my husband got the fillet and lobster tail, and I got the black Seabass, and it was all incredible!! We will definitely be back!!”
