The Best Cellar Restaurant

An exceptional evening celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary! From the moment we arrived early for our 6:15pm reservation, the service was impeccable. The valet parking and warm reception set the tone for the evening. The host guided us to our table, and our waiter Kate was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food was simply fantastic, adding to the overall delightful experience. Highly recommend this spot for a special occasion or a memorable night out.

Had an amazing dinner with great service! Sissy took great care of us. Very cozy atmosphere at this restaurant. We had a seafood sampler of shrimp cocktail, crab cakes and oysters Rockefeller which were amazing. Also had the halibut and braised short ribs - all were delicious! They also have valet parking which is a plus since finding parking can be challenging.

This is one of the best places we have ever eaten. We drove around Blowing Rock and happened upon this place. You had to have reservations about one to two months out. However the party that was supposed to arrive when we showed up ended up being 45 minutes late because they got lost. I am sorry they did not make it, but glad we were able to enjoy this wonderful eating experience.

What an incredible meal! We had started with drinks which were so good. For our appetizer, we had the Oyster Rockefellers. They we cooked perfectly and very juicy. For our mains, we had the crab cakes, beets, and mashed potatoes. The breading on the crab cakes was light and not at all greasy, but the true shining star was the mashed potatoes. They were perfectly seasoned, fluffy, and so good. My partner had the tuna, which had been prepared, and so was basically melted in your mouth. Another highlight to our meal was our server Grace. She was so kind and explained the menu as well as checked in on us and gave great suggestions! Overall, this place is a gem, and you need to check it out.

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!

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.

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!
