We visit this place every year for our anniversary trip to the mountains. The food is always top notch. The servers have also been very good over the years. Strongly recommend advance reservations as it get booked up quickly. The menu offers quite a variety of items and I've never been disappointed in 15 years. It's a small place so things are tight but the food is worth it.

Impeccable service, outstanding food, and the ambience is just so cool..Neville was so professional and on point! Awesome server!
One of the best meals of my life. True culinary quality and diverse menu. I had the bacon brie chicken and caesar salad. Friends had the deconstructed lasagna...amazing...and a chicken pasta dish.

I had the grouper which was excellent. The sides it came with were also excellent. Everything was cooked perfectly and our server got the meal to us while it was still nice and hot. Will definitely be back. Want to try the chicken marsala.

Amazing food that covers other sins.
First, I want to say that everyone leaves laughing and happy. It is one of the first things that I noticed when I arrived. We sat near the door, and it was a joy to watch.
It's a small place and tables are a bit too close. The back room is an unreasonable cluster where people are right on top of each other. It seemed stuffy when we arrived and that turned into a glistening sweat as we ate. .
The server was delightful. She knew the menu and described things well. We really enjoyed her.
We ordered cocktails. Her wine was delicious. My old fashioned was perfect.
The starter salad was great for my wife. Even my little plate of greens and berries were unexpectedly good.
The wait for our meal was unpleasant. We were hot and sweaty. The restaurant was annoyingly loud. We mentioned the heat to the waitress who was sweet and agreed but could not solve the problem.
I had scallops with veggies which were amazing. I loved every bite. The scallops had that perfect crispy outside and tender flavorful center. My wife had the beef rib over pasta. She raved about her meal. I snuck a bite and it was flavorful and tender. She carried on about how delicious the pasta was and how incredible the mushrooms were.
The meal was truly exceptional.
There was a fly that would not leave our table. At the end of our meal, it found a mate and made love on the window sill as we waited for the check. Even they left happy.
Dietary restrictions: They were very limited in selection but vigilant about making sure that they met my concerns for a gluten-free and dairy-free meal.

The food definitely lived up to all the hype, maybe the best braised short ribs I have ever had... The fresh pasta with the smoked blue cheese was totally amazing. The service was great I would definitely make a reservation if you want to go! Highly recommend

I had the chicken cutlet it was awesome. My wife got the seared tuna . This place is awesome. Service was great
My husband and I chose here for our wedding dinner, as it came highly recommended. And boy, did it not disappoint. I'll be honest, when first looking at the menu, I saw the Deconstructed Lasagna and immediately thought it was incredibly pretentious. Let me tell you, it was delightful, we enjoyed it at the restaurant and again as left overs. The Braised Short Rib was also phenomenal, mind you I do not like blue cheese, but it being smoked was out of this world. Our server, Neville, was the best server we have ever had, he was attentive, kind and knowledgeable. When in, or around Waynesville, The Chef's Table is a must.
We went here for our anniversary and the food was amazing. I had the scallops with the crab cupcakes and my husband had the deconstructed lasagna. We also had the Brie salad for an appetizer. Everything was delicious- my husband raved about the filet and the scallops were melt in your mouth. My husband says his meal was the best he’s had in a very long time and he travels a lot and tries a lot of new restaurants.
We would definitely go there again! Our only complaint was that it smelled a little weird inside (maybe a sewage type of smell?) clearly the food made up for that, and maybe it was because it rained a lot the day before, not sure!
My wife and I visit Waynesville once a year, and this is always a must-visit restaurant for us. You’ll pay more than most places, but it is worth it. The Deconstructed Lasagna is amazing.
