The Secluded Restaurant In North Carolina That Looks Straight Out Of A Storybook
When describing a restaurant the word ‘ambiance’ plays a crucial role. It’s how you feel about a place long after you’ve tasted the appetizers or enjoyed an entree. It’s the everlasting memory a place leaves on you in part to setting, style, interior, exterior and even you’re overall vibe of enjoying a meal there. While North Carolina has plenty of five-star eateries that hone in on this concept, it’s one under the radar place that truly wins.
The restaurant at Gideon Ridge combines the beautiful scenery of Blowing Rock with an amazing display of food and views.
Normally operating as a remote and cozy Inn, the restaurant at Gideon Ridge invites diners to the higher side of things with exceptional food nestled around stunning Blue Ridge Views.
