Loved the experience! The dining room is beautifully decorated. The bread that they brought out for an appetizer was really good. I especially liked how they had different types of bread to try. The food was very good too. I got the lobster tails, and both had really good flavor. Everything else in the dish was a very good compliment to it too. The filet mignon was very good as well. Very flavorful. Next time I visit I will definitely come back here for dinner.

Our waiter was Cory and Lee was his assistant. The service was exceptional. The views were amazing. My husband had the pork chop and I had the filet. We had crab cake and scallops for appetizers. The vanilla honey creme brulee was wonderful. Everything was perfect. Will dine here again.

What a perfect spot to celebrate our wedding anniversary. My husband ordered the filet mignon med rare with a side of lobster and rated it a 10 out of 10, one of the best steaks he has had. I had their salad due to feeling a bit under the weather. Special shoutout to our waiter Elijah who was concerned that I wasn't feeling great and made sure he outfitted me with camomile teas, honey, & plastic ware so I could make it back when we got to our room. Thank You Elijah!

The staff were excellent and made my husband and me feel very special as we celebrated our anniversary. The food was very good. The atmosphere was billed as one of the top 100 most romantic restaurants in the US. I did not find that to be accurate as the lighting was bright and the volume of diners caused the restaurant to be loud. There was no music and the tables were pretty close together, so not much privacy. I really cannot say enough about the staff, though. Everyone we came into contact with were kind and attentive. They apparently enjoy their jobs and are well trained. That was such a refreshing difference from other places we have visited. We will surely be back.

This was by far the best restaurant I've ever been to. We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here and it was the perfect place to go! The food was so incredible and unique- such an amazing blend of flavors. Our server was Teresa and she was the perfect amount of attentive while still allowing privacy. She knew the menu to a T and even brought us treats to sample. We definitely want to go back! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Amazing food, amazing service and amazing ambience. It was pricey, but worth it. This was our big splurge meal on this trip and it was all that we had hoped. I have celiac and they were very attentive and knowledgeable about my gluten-free options, which were delicious.

The Dining Room at the Inn at Biltmore Estate never disappoints. The wine list is impressive, the food is wonderful, and the service is the way all restaurant service should be. Mario took great care of our party.

The Dining Room is the perfect place for that very special occasion. Cannot say enough about how you are treated and the staff will do whatever it takes to satisfy your dining experience .

Very expensive and food was good. Service was bad - we were seared and waited for 10 minutes before waiter's first visit. Waiter was very abrupt and seemed disinterested. It's touted as a very romantic restaurant, but many of tables were down a narrow hall with a stone wall on one side. Save your money and eat elsewhere.

Eating at the Dining Room was the best food my husband and I have ever had. We enjoyed every bite of our entire meal. Service was so good and our servers was awesome. They made our dining experience perfect. We did not have one complaint about our entire evening and can't wait to come back and enjoy it all over again. I would recommend this to everyone, you will not regret a moment or a bite!
Visited on a trip with my daughter and had a wonderful experience. From the pre-dinner, proper, espresso martinis in the library lounge at sunset, to the entries meal at The Dining Room, both my daughter and I have raving reviews. She enjoyed a craft cocktail (I forget the name) at dinner. The bread service was so unique. We split a Caesar salad, and it was served with a lemon, creamy dressing. I thought it unusual with a Caesar , but we both loved the combination. I highly recommend it, but just be prepared that it will not be a traditional Caesar. She had the chicken roulade, and enjoyed it along with the sides. I had the filet and added lobster. The filet was cooked perfectly to medium rare. I wasn't given drawn butter for the lobster, but gave it a taste while I waiting for an opportunity to request it from our server. I never did because the lobster was fantastic without it. my sides were fantastic as well. We ended with the vanilla bean cheesecake and coffee. I'm not a fan of mint, but the use of it in this cheesecake was delicious. The peppermint ice Cream was a nice touch as well. I love a good cup of coffee and the coffee they served was good, but not great. We came in contact with five different staff members during our meal and each one was very knowledgeable and welcoming. We also especially appreciated the chef sending out a sample of cauliflower/curry soup that was phenomenal. This is an experience and a magnificent location. You will spend more than your average Saturday night dinner out, but it is completely worth it. Highly recommend!

Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. It's not just going out to dinner when you to the Dining Room at the Biltmore, it's an “event”, and it's one that I would highly recommend!!

Service, friendliness of staff, and food were excellent. We went there for a birthday celebration. Very disappointed in that, even though they recognized that was the case and said Happy Birthday to the individual, nothing else was done to make it special. In the past, the restaurant had provided some dessert for the person. For the expensive prices, they could have done something. We would recommend the restaurant, not as a weekly visit - too expensive - but special occasion or just a nice dinner. Just expect to pay alot for your meal.
This is one of the best restaurants you will ever attend in your life. The food and service were above and beyond our expectations. Once you eat at this place, you will know then how the Vanderbilts lived in style. A++++

We went for an after Valentine’s dinner to The Dining Room. We are Biltmore passholders and spend quite a bit of time on the estate. Our dinner was incredible. Our serving staff headed by Jonathan did an awesome job. Unfortunately, towards the end of our meal a family with two very young children were seated next to us. We have children, not with us, but these children were off the chain. Yelling shrieking and throwing things. The staff worked so hard to get them served promptly but for us it was time to go! We asked if we could get our preferred dessert up in The Library and were told we could so we left. Upstairs there was an amazing pianist and we were happy to find an open table. Our waiter, Ian, initially told us that he didn’t think they could get a dessert from The Dining Room but he went the extra mile to make it happen and it was delivered to our table by the General Manager who was extremely nice and apologetic for our dinner disturbance. We were honored that the staff turned out so wonderfully for us and even comped our coffees and dessert. We will definitely be back to the Inn and very much appreciate them all.
