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."

My husband and I had a delightful stay and dinner at the Lake Rabun Hotel. Our entrees were the Filet and the Pecan Crusted Trout, both were delicious! Our server was wonderful, and the drinks were very nice as well. We split an Apple Cobbler dessert - perfect finish to a wonderful meal!

This was our second time coming to the Lake Rabun Hotel Restaurant. We are from out of town and stay at a cabin nearby once a year. The tables in the outside dining area have a beautiful ambience. Our waitress Taylor recommended such tasty entrees and was so kind and accommodating all night. The Caesar salad was perfectly dressed. We now know why the pecan crusted trout is a fan fave (10/10), and the lamb chops were so tender. The seasonal drinks had so much flavor and were also very well thought out. All in all the Lake Rabun Hotel Restaurant shows so much attention to detail and we will continue to come back again and again.
Lake Rabun Hotel and RestaurantResponded on November 21, 2024
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear that your second visit was just as memorable as the first. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the ambiance of our outdoor dining area, and we’re glad that Taylor was able to make your experience even more special with her recommendations and service. The Pecan Crusted Trout and Lamb Chops are definitely favorites, and we're thrilled you enjoyed them (along with the seasonal drinks!). Your kind words about the attention to detail mean so much to us, and we’re honored that you plan to return year after year. We can’t wait to welcome you back for many more great meals and memories! See you again soon!

We were seated. Server took drink orders. Delivered drinks. Asked if we were ready to order. The menu items that half of our party chose were unavailable. The prime rib sandwich and steak/eggs. Felt server had plenty of opportunities to let us know this info before we ordered.

Was our anniversary, had been there before but it was several years ago. The food was terrible. The sides had way too much seasoning. We could not eat the sides and the main dish was not much better. My husband never complains but he told the waitress he didn’t like it. He told me he owed me another anniversary meal. because it was so bad. I can’t remember having such a bad meal.
Lake Rabun Hotel and RestaurantResponded on November 21, 2024
I’m so sorry to hear that your anniversary meal was such a disappointment. It’s especially upsetting to hear that it didn’t live up to the expectations you had, especially after having enjoyed a previous visit with us. We absolutely want every guest to leave happy, especially on such a special occasion, and it’s clear we missed the mark this time. I apologize for the over-seasoning on the sides and the quality of the main dish. That is definitely not the experience we want to provide. Thank you for letting us know, and I will make sure to share your feedback with our kitchen team so we can make improvements. I completely understand your frustration, and I hope you’ll give us another chance in the future.

While staying in the hotel, we enjoyed a dinner in the restaurant. We both ordered the popular trout entree which was very good. The service was just attentive enough. For me, the ambiance of the rustic dining room was the most memorable aspect. We would dine with Lake Rabun Hotel and Restaurant again and recommend to those visiting beautiful Lakemont.
