What an unexpected gem in a quaint little town. These folks are not messing around and put out some quality food and wine. The space is an old 1930s Belk department store that they renovated which is neat and the jazz music really added to the vibe. Lovely and delicious!

What a gem! I had had dinner across the street and decided to call in here for a glass of wine. It exceeded my expectations - lovely staff, an amazing food menu (I had a delicious bread pudding), and a huge choice of wines (we tried the Carolina flight and the Austrian flight). It was such a lovely end to an evening. Next time I’ll go back for the full menu!

My husband and I were in Traphill for a weekend mountain getaway and traveled into Elkin for dinner. This little unassuming restaurant inside a wine bar is top notch and their food could blow some restaurants in Raleigh out of the water. The food was fresh, perfectly prepared, and truly delicious. I don’t personally drink so I cannot speak for the wine. We both started with a salad and both salads were fresh, crisp, and came with lots of toppings! I then had the steak which was freshly cooked and incredibly fresh. My husband had the shrimp and grits and they were some of the best he has ever had. Highly recommend this wonderful little restaurant is you’re in the area.

Our wedding reception at The Wisdom Table was an absolute dream come true! From start to finish, their team, led by Jeremy the sommelier and Chef Tim, delivered an unparalleled experience. Jeremy's expertise in selecting the perfect wine pairings for each course elevated our dining experience to new heights. His recommendations were spot on and truly enhanced the flavors of the meal.Chef Tim crafted an impeccable menu that surpassed all our expectations. The attention to detail and the exquisite flavors showcased his culinary mastery. He was incredibly accommodating, taking our preferences into account while creating a menu that left our guests raving.Throughout the entire process, both Jeremy and Chef Tim were not just professional but also extremely personable and accommodating. Their genuine enthusiasm to make our day special was evident in every interaction.The waitstaff team was equally phenomenal. Their seamless service and attention to every detail ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy our celebration without any worries.We are immensely grateful to The Wisdom Table for their exceptional service, delicious cuisine, and the unforgettable memories they helped us create.

So I hate the term "best kept secret" but it certainly applies to this place. OMG. From the outside it appears to just be a wine shop (an awesome one at that). Inside there is a small restaurant just past the wine bar. The owner is a sommelier and the chef is incredible. Very small menu, but who needs more than about 4-5 entrees to choose from? We started with the seasonal salads, yum yum on the dressing. We started with one wine to go with this and their choices were spot on.I had the Berkshire Pork Bone In Rack and my husband had the Angus Tenderloin. We had different wines to go with these. Again, everything was incredibly prepared, meats were tender, sauces were perfect.We ended the meal with glasses of Port.My only slightly negative comment is that for someone who doesn't do milk (lactose intolerant), the choices were limited. But I was able to find excellent choices.(PS, we were staying across the street, so no driving after this).

The tomahawk pork chop was literally one of the best things I've ever eaten! I've been to fine dining restaurants around the world but this small, unassuming, charming town wins the award. I joked that I wanted to kiss the chef. I enjoyed my wine flight as well. I normally don't like NC wines but they have found wines that paired nicely to an elevated meal. My friends had charcuterie boards. They even had a nice nonalcoholic wine for one friend. It was a lovely evening while we visited the town.
