In the mountains of North Georgia the Lake Rabun Hotel & Restaurant has been welcoming guests since 1922. Restored in 2008, the hotel and restaurant offer the best of rustic elegance. From the antique heart pine walls to the locust beams on our deck, expect unique, local craftsmanship. The decor is rich with period antiques, hand-woven rugs, and local artwork.

It features a creatively prepared and presented Contemporary American menu with a Southern twist in the farm to table tradition. Fresh produce locally grown is hand selected and prepared by our Chef de Cuisine, whose entrees respect the natural flavors of high quality, humanely raised and locally harvested food. His kitchen produces cuisines from many regions including Classical French, Southern USA, and Mediterranean. Many guests describe the food at the Lake Rabun Hotel as "the best in the mountains."

Overall, we really enjoyed the atmosphere once inside! lol.. It was just a miserable night to be out.. But it was our anniversary and we made the best of it.. Our server, Taylor, was the best. We will definitely ask for her table when we return.

                                                            Valentines menu was great. Did run out of an appetizer option though. Soup was offered as a fill in and it was great.

                                                            Hi, Mark! We are thrilled you were able to join us for such a special occasion. I am sorry you did not get the option of having the Brie with your dinner that night. It was a popular item on the menu and we sold a lot very quickly! We offered the soup as a substitution to make up for that. We appreciate your business and all your support. Hope to see you again, soon.

                                                            The wife & I eat here often & unfortunately this was not a great experience. They had the same Valentine menu as the night before & obviously used some of the same food. The menu was prix fixe ($65/person). The oysters rockefeller were cold & bland & the brie puff pastry seemed out of place for an appetizer with little flavor. The Ceasar salad & lobster bisque for the next entree were good. We both had filet for the main entree - good flavor, very small and I ordered medium rare & it was medium plus. For dessert I had chocolate creme brulee & the wife had cheese cake. My brulee was underwhelming but the wife's cheesecake was very unappetizing. It was hard as if it had just been unwrapped from a grocery store freezer.

                                                            Always a great place to enjoy a great meal. We had a lovely dinner, I had the pecan crusted trout - delicious (wasn’t fond do the butternut/ricotta whip but that may just be me). Wife had the pan roasted pork tenderloin, great, too much to eat. Crème Brûlée desert great, coffee barely warm. Good wine selection, good bar, overall a wonderful experience.

                                                            We found old school dining in Rabun County. We were a bit hungry and: We started with prosciutto with some not cream cheese but a nice surprise; A couple of salads, a wedge but was served on Romaine, filled to the brim, very nice, and another salad with mixed greens, mango, etc (don't want to spoil it) Both very refreshing. Main course duckling, cooked crisp, very succulent and another surprise, we could not decide on the Filet or something. The waitress recommended the short rib and we were pleased. We held off on desert and an after dinner drink, some patrons were taking desert to go. We needed to navigate our way back to Seed Lake and the road in and out is quite the adventure. It was worth the drive, we will be back soon!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your dinner. The salad you are referring to is one of our most popular salads, and it is very refreshing. The duck has been a huge hit, too! We look forward to you visiting us again soon. Thank you for your support!
