    The Wedge salads,Beef short ribs, Blackened NC Shrimp, and Gemelli (Duck Confit) were especially good. Excellent (but a bit pricy) mixed drinks as well. Service was outstanding.

    Delighted to see Appalachia open after the storm! Everything was great. Impeccable wait staff, beautiful surroundings, delicious food and drinks! With the rustic decor dressed up for the holidays and the great views Lake Lure is known for it was the perfect spot for an early Christmas celebration with my son. Charming, inviting, and a cozy fire makes for a wonderful experience! Thank you Lodge on Lake Lure for showing up and exceeding expectations in the midst of an ongoing tragedy for this region!🎄👏🥰🙏🏻

    My husband had the steak. It was good, so were the potatoes. The broccoli was very, very salty. Inedible. I had the trout that was supposed to be "crusted" in crab. The crab was smeared on top of the trout, and it smelled very fishy. The trout was OK, not great. The bed of beans, cabbage, and bacon were good. All in all, the food was disappointing and overpriced. We will not be back.

    We dined at the Appalachian during our stay at the Lodge on Lake Lure. Sydney was our wonderful server. The food was beyond delicious and we look forward to another visit and fabulous meal.

    Food was very good as usual, but it was very cold in the dining room. Please fix the HVAC! Also, need better parking for restaurant patrons.
