“Absolutely the best restaurant in Cashiers. Best service and amazing farm to table cuisine. Great wine selection and cocktails. My favorite cocktail there is the dirty martini with blue cheese olives. Husband likes the chicken livers appetizer, which is a pretty large portion. I love the soups. Fresh bread and salads with entrees. The seafood pasta is delicious with a lemon blanc sauce. We have never had a bad meal at The Orchard. Make sure to request Joe for service and always make a reservation. As the restaurant is well known for its great food and service so it gets booked pretty quickly. Joe is a true gem. Love love this place.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Lunch Experience at Prime in Highlands! Our lunch at Primary in Highlands, NC, was simply outstanding. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the host and restaurant manager, which set the tone for a wonderful meal. We started with perfectly cooked Oysters Rockefeller, followed by a fresh and flavorful green salad. My husband had the chimichurri marinated chicken sandwich, which was the special of the day, while I opted for the 14-ounce New York strip. Although I couldn’t finish the entire steak, it was perfect for sharing, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. The service was impeccable, attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere made for a lovely midday meal. We topped off the experience with a delicious slice of carrot cake, which was the perfect sweet ending. If you’re looking for an exceptional lunch in downtown Highlands, I highly recommend Primary for its fantastic food, atmosphere, and top-notch service“

“Stopped in for a late lunch and had a great time, though we had to wait a bit for a table. In the meantime, we did get a seat and were able to enjoy a cocktail. Great vintage vibe in the main part of the dining room. All of our meals were good, the kids really got a kick out of the mini (room service style) ketchup bottles. The hotel has their own branded gin they serve, which after lunch we went to the local ABC liquor store to pick up. Great Lunch!“
