Kallisto Restaurant and Lounge at Nantahala Village

Awesome views, great service by Jack and great food. Our drinks - Piña Colada and old fashion were super delish and to find a great tasting piña colada can be a challenge but this was amazing. The feta artichoke dip was super good and great chicken Alfredo. We finished it up with a yummy cream brûlée.

Came for a birthday dinner, and even though it was their last day open for the season everything was lovely. They had a limited menu due to end of season, but everything we tried was delicious and well made. The staff was very attentive and even brought a birthday dessert :) Views from the outdoor patio at sunset were unbelievable!

The food and cocktails were so delicious! Even on a limited menu due to the recent hurricanes, everything they offered was amazing. The owner, servers, and bartender were all so lovely. I will definitely be back!

Came here for a bachelorette party and it was phenomenal! The food, service and drinks were perfect! Highly recommend

Came here for my Bachelorette party dinner and unfortunately for us, they had ran out of most of their food but the owner went above and beyond and made sure we had something to eat and the cocktails were amazing. Overall we had a great time and I definitely will be coming back.

Broiled Salmon and teriyaki mushrooms pair nicely together. The homemade sauce with the steak is delicious. The owners and staff are very friendly.

This is definitely on our list of places we have to eat at when we are out here. There was a decent wait but the staff were so friendly and we were able to go to the bar to get a drink and then sit in the lobby area while we waited. Once we were seated we had an amazing view outside. The drinks were delicious. We got the Pitza as an appetizer and it was great. Had the salmon and steak both of which tasted amazing. But the staff were just beyond friendly and welcoming. Even with a hectic night and a sudden rush they were so kind and polite and handled everything as best they could. Overheard one of the owners having to handle some less than patient people and still maintained a very respectful and polite attitude. The bar service was great, the bartender was obviously busy and doing multiple jobs but checked in to make sure we had what we needed. Even when things took a while (again totally understandable in the middle of an unexpected rush and large tables) everyone was apologetic and kind and you could just tell they were doing the best they could and working hard to make sure everyone had a good experience. Definitely recommend stopping in. It took us looking it up online to realize it was a restaurant inside the hotel that was open to the public. Wish they had better signage bc I think it would bring more people in. Overall the food and drinks were delicious, but it is the welcoming atmosphere and view that will have us coming back.

I’ve never left a review before so I’m sorry if this doesn’t seem like a professional one but this was one of if not the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. We’re on vacation and found this place online and made a reservation to come. When we arrived one of my friends had something awful go in his eye and we had to call an ambulance. When I went inside to inform the manager (Amber was her name), she was nothing but helpful and kind. Once the issue was resolved we came back and we sat outside and ate to an amazing view. They were slightly short staffed that day and we saw Amber do quite literally everything she could possibly do. She took care of us, made drinks, made sure my friend was still doing okay. She was perfect. So perfect that on our way back to our cabin we agreed we needed to leave a review this place is amazing and I’d do anything to eat that Ribeye again.

We celebrated our 50th anniversary by having dinner here. I rarely find restaurants worthy of 5 stars but this is one that absolutely deserves it. Great food with wonderful presentation, great staff and service and ambiance. It also has a very nice view to go along with everything!

Dietary restrictions: The owners take great care to accommodate those with dietary issues.

Parking: Ample parking in front.

This was a hidden gem! We live in Western NC and always looking for local cuisine. This place is top of our list! The drinks were impressive and the food...oh my goodness, the food was amazing. I don't like mushrooms and loved their teriyaki mushrooms! A must if you enjoy great food and drinks at wonderful prices.
