Restaurants near Old Fort Picnic Area

What a fantastic place to eat! It was very busy as it was 2 days after Christmas. The filet mignon was the best I ever ate. Almost soft enough to cut with a fork. And the flavors! The "house wine" and the appetizers were also the greatest. Can't say enough good about this place.

Excellent food and choices during the holiday. We loved every option we chose and it paired well with the side. The service was amazing, from those seating us to our waiter. Restaurant was clean and well cared for. I also loved that our reservation was seated on time, and I appreciated that they are mindful of that. We now have this as our yearly holiday dinner and can’t wait to come back next year

Blue Ridge is consistently excellent! The food last night was absolutely delicious with the pork loin with apple chutney being a standout. The salad station was fresh and well stocked, the soups were heavenly, and the dessert bar was amazing with the mousse cups and bread pudding causing us to go back for seconds. The Grove Park Inn is full of history and is fun to walk around and explore, the views of the mountains are spectacular, during Christmas the decorations are festive, and the fireplaces are so cozy. So when you go for dinner, it’s not just a meal but also an experience. I take everyone that comes to visit us in Asheville. It was another delightful evening.

We are local and have spent a lot of time at GPI/Edison's over the last 13 years, especially during the holiday season. The menu is just perfect, the service is always top-notch, and the environment is warm and welcoming.

great food, great server, helpful with my elderly mother
