There wasn't anything here but exquisitely delicious and absolutely outstanding food! As well for fine dining portions were not at all small we took home leftovers, as well for the quality food of food it's still reasonable in price. We got 2 appetizers, 2 salads, 2 delicious mocktails, 2 of the higher priced entres and two deserts with 20% tip for $200 and it felt like a 5 course meal. Took my mom here for her birthday, a well worth place for a special occasion dinner with your loved one worth every penny and I'm a service worker. The wonderfully attentive waitress was super sweet and accommodating too. It a special gem for sure!

The Best Cellar went out of their way to accommodate us. We were in Blowing Rock for a last-minute anniversary trip and called for a reservation. They were booked but went above and beyond to work us in. We had a fantastic time with a great table on the porch. They said they had music but we didn’t realize just how big an event it was. The entire lawn in front of the hotel was packed with people! Food was excellent and service was great. But the atmosphere was unbeatable. Thanks again!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Best Cellar this week and if I could post more than 5 stars I would. We were seated ourselves in the wine cellar which is absolutely beautiful and welcomed by our wonderful wait staff, Jackson. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and the entire evening was so memorable. Thank you for making our celebration one to remember.

The reception host. James, so gracious. Our server also named James was outstanding, knowledgeable, friendly, efficient. But the best part was the general manager, Missy and her assistant Emma who made sure everything was perfect. And it was.perfect. Seafood appetizer the beet salad, the halibut the Cinnamon butter squash,, the garlic string beans, he mashed potatoes were incredible. We have been in in the Boone area blowing Rock Banner Elk area for 6 weeks and had many wonderful experience but none was better than this. The food was amazing but the staff was equal.

Best Cellar is one of the best restaurants in Blowing Rock! Let me give you a tip: the Chicken is the best I've ever had. Not what you'd usually order but a local favorite. The filet Mignon specials are always divine. Asparagus = say yes. YeS! Even the salt and pepper in the shakers is awesome. Banana creme pie is the best anywhere. And all their fish dishes are tops. You need to make reservations because it is the best you'll get anywhere.

We have been going to Best Cellar for a few years, but last night was not the best, oysters Rockefeller were terrible, oysters were old, selections were not great, mostly seafood not much choice and high prices, parking has always been a problem, so, this will be our last visit to Best Cellar

When in NC we alway go to the cellar and it is fine last night we went & made a reservation on line weeks before where there was no questions asked for indoor/outdoor or downstairs We arrived on time and was told our table was down a flight of stairs alot of stairs, there was no way we could all do these steps both up and down and they would not accommodate us upstairs other than a table in the bar Which we ended up taking… They said if u make a reservation on line they ask u questions ..not true ..They said if u call they tell u availability?? they contacted me by email and text confirming the reservation could they not have said downstairs is only available ? Very disappointed ..the food was ok the waitress was great But there attitude was the bar or downstairs Just my opinion as how i thought it should have been handled we came from banner elk so it was not a short drive in the rain And BTW i never knew there was a down stairs

Amazing dinner with awesome service. We make a reservation every year to eat in the wine cellar and this year did not disappoint. The food is so good will return every year our server Bella was so good. The food was to die for
We had high expectations and expected wonderful food and great service . The pizza place in town had better food and better service. What a let down , the bone in ribeye was so thin , a ribeye should be thick , especially at these prices . I will say the martini at the bar was perfect .

We were there for their Friday night live music. The venue is great (as long as it’s not raining) and the band we saw was spectacular Euphoria! Gorgeous flowers at this time of year

Food is excellent and wine choices are beyond compare!! Definitely would visit again!
This has become a favorite of ours for a couple years and has always been excellent in every regard. However, our latest visit this past weekend was slightly disappointing. The lobster bisque is not on the menu and the Mediterranean Beet Salad that was my wife’s favorite has been changed and not as good as before according to her. I had the Cajun Pasta which was pretty good. The staff and service were excellent as always and we had a nice dinner but the food was not quite what we were hoping for. We will visit again in the future but hoping the Lobster Bisque comes back!
