Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Hickory

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.

This was our first time back to this location after the Asheville flood. Luckily, the building came through without issues. They had a limited menu, but our food was excellent! We had an excellent server and the dining room decor is very nice and fits the Asheville/Biltmore vibe. Overall a very pleasant evening!

Food was yummy. Service amazing. Served a free dessert for my birthday :)

Eating outside on the terrace with its outstanding views makes Sunset Terrace a beautiful and special place. I always go there to celebrate special occasions.

Good menu with varied entrees, good quality food and solid service. Overall good value. Wish the decor was better, looks and feels like what it is which is a plain vanilla hotel restaurant.
