Restaurants near Lake James

Passing through, this seemed like an interesting place to go for lunch. Trout dominates the menu -- 100% fine for us. I enjoyed smoked trout with gouda grits, partner took her trout on a kale salad -- both were 100% happily consumed to the bottom of the plate. We weren't drinking for lunch, but there is plenty of beer and wine for those looking for those options. Definitely would love to try the place again for dinner when we visit next.

Always an amazing experience, love sitting in a horse stall and partaking in fine dining! Great service has always been my experience.

The Edison has a wonderful setting, with beautiful views towards the Blue Ridge Mountains. We’ve had excellent food in the past, but they’ve just reopened. My husband’s beef brisket was excellent. My smash burger was OK. But we had a lovely time visiting the Grove Park Inn, enjoying the terrace for a pre-dinner drink. And we were glad to see that the historic lobby has reverted to its Arts and Crafts decor. Beautiful! We’re locals, so have visited many time over the years.

Food and service were great. Liked the fireplace and Christmas tree. Restaurant could be a little cozier.

Love Reid’s and this was the best yet! Menu is constantly new and creative , service was fantastic. This is definitely a favorite date night place!
