    From the time We sat down in the festively decorated restaurant to the time we left—we keep saying how wonderful every minute was. The chef’s appetizer and bread service to the meticulously plated main courses—we could have stayed all night!

    Had a fabulous experience at Oak. Lovely atmosphere and incredible view, surpassed only by the food, presentation and service by Trevor! Can’t wait to go back.

    One of the very best dining experiences offered in Western North Carolina in the casino environment, but you really feel like you’re in an Italian dining Café and total attention is given to you very individualized exceptionally good food and great wines. I’ve been going to the brio now for some 15 years. I love it.

    We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation and notified the desk. It was no more than three minutes when they called my name. They sat us in a booth, which my husband prefers. That was a plus, and the waitress, Taylor, came quickly to get our drink orders and appetizers. When she returned, we had not decided on our main course, so she assured us that it was fine; she’d check back. As soon as we laid the menus down, she was back. The orders were placed; I ordered the crusted sea bass, asparagus; he ordered, the stuffed chicken and asparagus. Taylor asked if we wanted to place one instead of two since it was a family portion. We really appreciated that bit of information. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and very tasty. The asparagus was awesome! Portions are ample to eat. Hubby was able to bring some back to the room. The Pepsi product was fresh and did not water down while waiting for dinner or throughout. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!

Discover Franklin

Located within the lush greenery of the Nantahala National Forest, Franklin is home to a wide assortment of creative and delicious dining options. Enjoy the chefs' creations at independent local fine dining locations, where you might be tempted by fresh black mussels steamed in white wine. For a land-based option, parsnip puree elevates farm-to-table, bone-in pork chops. If you feel like Mexican, Italian or Chinese cuisine, you’re in luck; it’s all here. For traditional Appalachian flavor, try cedar plank salmon topped with sea salt and wildflower honey. Franklin diners can also enjoy pimiento cheese and the beloved barbecue sauce, a peppery mixture of ketchup and vinegar. Other Southern favorites, like fried catfish, collard greens and Cajun-style shrimp and grits, are eternal foods for the soul.
