“Came here with a group of 4 for my birthday dinner and absolutely loved it! Cozy vibe, great food and excellent service. Highlights: Brussel sprouts, Caesar salad, filet and meatloaf. Server was on top of it the entire time. Very knowledgeable on the menu, gave recommendations, and was super attentive throughout the entire meal. Thanks for a great experience!!“
“I went here after a App State football game, the place was packed and it was only a hour before closing time, this place is so freaking good it's not even funny, I had the crab bisque, and it would knock your socks off with how awesome it tasted, they had many bartenders ready to make any drink you could think of, the waiters were checking in every few minutes so there was no way you could go without a refill, the French fries were made just perfect, with a slight crunch and just the right amount seasoning, if you've got the time hit this place up, you won't regret it.“
“Great Vibe and food. One thing we didn't` care for was the seating. Given the fact that there were only two tables occupied when we arrived, we were seated a distance from those two tables. However as more diners arrived, they were placed at the tables right next to us. There were still lots of available tables all throughout the dining area, yet these folks were seated right next to us Who doesn't`t like a little space and privacy when dining ? Seemed like a upscale place like this would realize this.“
“We have been coming here to enjoy the rooftop bar for several years now and just decided to stay the night. Exceeded expectations!Rooms: People who leave bad reviews reserved the lower levels and complain about no windows. Poor planning on their part, we loved our room.Walkability: Literally centered in downtown. You can walk the entire downtown to all the food/drink/shopping you’d want.“
“The Cardinal has exceptional burgers with a menu they keep updated frequently with fresh items. Their seasonal cocktails are always delicious. They keep great local brews on tap with a variety of craft beers from all over. One of our favorite places to eat and drink in Boone!Editing 3 years later, Nov 2020:The Cardinal continues to be one of our favorite places in town. They have done an outstanding job in caring for their employees and greater community throughout Covid and continue to show love for every human. Favorite place for some tasty food and some drinks!“
“you won’t find a space that makes you feel more wanted, welcomed, safe, and loved. Worth going back to my college town, 100%, every time. As a queer POC, I have never ever ever felt uncomfortable or out of place once. They have free Lily’s Cup covers available at request to protect your drink (& extra points for helping to avoid spills)! As far as I understand, all staff are trained for safety measures and if you ever feel in need of help or would like to share something discreetly, every person who works there will help you without question. Also! They have AWESOME theme parties, and host amazing events. It’s always “A Real Cool Time™️” ??Dietary restrictions: I’ve never seen anyone NOT get accommodated with anything they ask for. Ingredients are posted clearly on every menu item & everything is made to order (anyway) but of course if you have special dietary needs and you let them know, you’ll get exactly what you wantParking: It’s a college town, if you’re going during busy hours, you may find parking difficult. But, they do have their own lot in front of the building.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs & open floor plan“
