We are staying at the Village Hotel and wanted to check out the Library Lounge because of the name. Unfortunately, we were disappointed at the sparse smattering of books. The outdoor patio looks lovely, and the chairs looked comfy, but we were disappointed and then not willing to pay $20 for a drink.

Great view of smokie/Appalachian mountains. Came for appetizers and drinks before dinner in the main dining room. Great relaxing setting. Also got to see a wedding on the lawn below the terrace, with the mountains in the background. What a lovely romantic touch to the start of an evening.

It's perfect. Meredith is fantastic and so knowledgeable about the offerings. Try the smash burger with the bacon jam-delish! The views are amazing.

Good food, quiet atmosphere, and plenty of spaces both indoors and at the balcony. It took us some time to find a service staff but the overall experience was great.

My husband and I stopped in for drinks before dinner . The atmosphere and our view was beautiful. Edixcio was so welcoming and engaging. He made us the most amazing cocktails. We would tell him what we usually drink or like and he would make something like it and even better. I highly recommend The library lounge to anyone looking for a beautiful atmosphere with phenomenal service to have uniquely crafted cocktails. Edixcio thank you for making our time so memorable.

We are staying for a few days and have been enjoying the property. Beautiful! Went to the lounge to enjoy a drink before dinner, Savannah greeted us right away and provided great recommendations for wine. She was super kind! (We bought a bottle & will return soon!)

We had an excellent experience. Our server was fantastic and attentive, Edicio the manager made our family feel welcome and helpful with great recommendations. His hospitality, combined with great service and delicious food, made our visit memorable. We will definitely be back.

I recently visited the library lounge from Greenville, and it was amazing! The atmosphere is incredible, and the drinks are not only flavorful but also beautifully presented. Our server was very attentive, and although we had a small issue with the food, the manager—who had the most memorable mustache I’ve ever seen—was extremely helpful. He also gave us excellent wine pairing advice for our charcuterie board, which we loved. Highly recommend!

Sitting outside on the patio with the view of the sun setting on the mountains with a meal & drinks- best part of our 3 days at Biltmore! Our server, Ian was phenomenal. A perfect stop for our anniversary.

We had a full morning of sightseeing and needed a bite to tied us over until our dinner reservations that night. We chose to have a light snack in the Library Lounge. My Honey and I split an order of Lobster Roll and Short Rib Sliders. There were two of each and light enough to not ruin our appetite for dinner. They have live entertainment here every night. Our first night they had someone playing the piano, the afternoon we stopped in for a snack they had a young man on acoustic guitar. Both were very talented and enthusiastic. The views of the surrounding mountains were amazing and the food was very Delicious. Our server was very friendly, helpful on our selections and provided impeccable service. We enjoyed our experience in the Library Lounge very much. The atmosphere was very comfortable and delightful.
In the lobby of The Inn.Very welcoming atmosphere and daily live music every evening.The food is good ( not as diverse as a restaurant would be ) , and the drinks are awesome and carefully crafted .The service is excellent and the price is decent

After arriving late at the Inn on our first night, we opted for food at the Library Lounge due to a complete lack of any other casual outlet in the hotel. Since that's all there is, the menu is extremely limited, especially with a full kitchen downstairs. We had the Brussel sprouts & sliders which were very good. The chef's treat for dessert were awful--dry tasteless cookies, etc. (Baked goods seems to be a real problem for all the food outlets on the estate--the breakfast ones were stale & dry.) The service was good. The entertainment is nice, if a bit loud & the lobby couches definitely need replacing (like sitting on the floor). It is also very cold.

Needed a quick bite and a drink the first night we were at the Biltmore. Our waiter/bartender was Ian I believe. I hope I got the spelling right. Anyway, his knowledge of wine and the drinks we purchased was first class. Very knowledgeable of what went into the drink and the service was first rate as well. Food was very good. Well done.

Beautiful ambiance and the evening pianist/singer was very talented. More servers are needed as the wait time was very long.

Fabulous food, great staff, stunning setting. Too bad the rest of the Biltmore experience as an annual pass holder this year has been DREADFUL.
