We had a great time visiting LP on Main for dinner. We had reservations on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was busy when we arrived. Although almost every table was full, we were seated quickly and served as though we were the only ones there. Our server Candela was amazing! She had great food and wine recommendations and presented our courses with care and grace.Everything we had was delicious! I highly recommend LP on Main to anyone looking for a great evening out in Banner Elk.Parking: Parking at restaurant and across the street

One of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. My friends and I ordered the cavateli, jambalaya, and short rib. Their espresso martini is to die for. All were amazing! ? I can’t wait to go back!Parking: We drove around a hit and finally found a d open spot in a lot down the street. I think we were hustling there at a busy time of year.

I was surprised at how good the food was. The food was excellent. I ordered BBQ shrimp with grits and it was delicious, more like an excellent Cajun shrimp and grits.

We had a large party and Julia knocked it out of the park. We were thoroughly impressed by her attentiveness and the atmosphere was lovely! We all enjoyed our food and will definitely come back when we visit again.

This place was amazing! We stopped here on a whim, and we almost left when we noticed the dining room was empty. I am so glad we did not! This little gem was a huge surprise and we still cannot figure out why there was not a line out the door. If you are in the area looking for lunch I highly suggest this place. Their Caesar Salad and the Poutine House Cut Fries - loaded with Ashe county cheese curds and lobster gravy were absolutely to die for! The staff were amazing and the atmosphere was great! We devoured the fries before I could get a picture and this picture is of our SECOND Caesar salad! (Yes, it was that good, we ordered a second one! )

Only went in for cocktails. Food smelled amazing, decor was on point, wine list was great, cocktails were bland and flavorless. We felt like the alcohol was watered down. No flavor at all. Blackberry Old Fashioned had no bourbon at all. The Apricot Gin Sour was completely bland. Drinks were mixed in the glass rather than shakers. Very disappointed. $38 for two flavorless cocktails.
$46 pour of weller 107… whole bottle is 49.99 in NC. A freaking joke. Obviously the owner has a friend on the board decided he’s gonna take everyone over the coals who tries to have a drink. Foods really good too, service was friendly. The unlisted price on the drink selections a bit of joke.

Truly fantastic. The Bee Pollen cocktail was perfectly balanced and is truly one of the best whiskey cocktails in NC. The food; incredible; thoughtful and unique flavors. Great atmosphere and service was top notch. Must try!

I’ve stayed around Boone twice and both times I came here for dinner. Their food is fantastic and they have great cocktails. Also thank you to the woman working there in the colorful long dress who held my two month old baby while my fiancé and I were eating. Love this place!

This is an excellent dining option in Banner Elk. The food and cocktails were exquisite and belied the price. We ordered the BBQ shrimp and charred octopus for apps. The sauce in the BBQ shrimp was smoky, earthy and delectable. It paired really well with the risotto. The charred octopus was cooked perfect and ensured the octopus wasn't chewy. The Jambalaya was good but there was nothing special to note. The short ribs were supposedly perfect! The icing on the cake was the toffee pudding, it was as good as it can get. The cocktails were really good but pricey, presentation and flavor were on the money. We had a great dining experience with top class service. Will definitely visit again.
