My favorite place to eat and celebrate special occasions. I write special occasions because the meals range from $15 to $27, but don’t include salad or soups, so it is on the pricier side, HOWEVER, the presentation of food is first class. I have tried everything off the menu and all are winners. This Chef is Western North Carolina’s secret. He puts a unique taste into southern food. It is located downtown Waynesville, so a walk after eating in a small town can be fun.
