We came in off the Blue Ridge Parkway into the town of Blowing Rock which we had never visited before. We started to look for restaurants in Trip Advisor and settled on Best Cellar based on the reviews. We clicked the link for the menu but found only wines. We went anyway based on the reviews. It turned out that... More

As usual, the Best Cellar did not disappoint. Both food and wine were great. The only blip was the extended time it took to chill a chardonnay selected from the reserve wine list. They should probably have some chilled on hand.

We have dined here many times and always look forward to the next visit. The food is exceptional. The service is attentive and professional. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting.

Years ago I had a melt in your mouth to die for meal in the old location prior to the fire. I'd not gotten around to dining in their "new" location in the Inn at Ragged Gardens although I often have enjoyed their jazz Fridays in their beautiful gardens in summer. Anyway, now that I've finally come for dinner, I... More

My husband and I dined at the Best Cellar Restaurant in mid-January, while on our stay near Blowing Rock. Our server was sweet, professional and served us with an ease that created a wonderful dining experience even before the food came to the table! My husband had the special rack of lamb, and I had the Chicken Marsala. Both were... More
