Chef's Table - Waynesville

Alan adds so much to the overall dining experience. We love going here. Specials are excellent.

One of the best meals of my life. True culinary quality and diverse menu. I had the bacon brie chicken and caesar salad. Friends had the deconstructed lasagna...amazing...and a chicken pasta dish.

We didn't really eat here, we tried. On Thursday we sent an email asking about reservations for Friday night..that was at noon. We didn't hear back from them for 24 hrs and 21 minutes. Their message was we have seating at 730 Friday. We responded in 22 minutes that great we will take it. Sorry already gone. What? I was driving in the mountains with spotty service. 22 minutes really? As it worked out it was ok...we found a great restaurant a block away...It was really SWEET. No pun intended.

Outstanding. I'm very picky about what I'm served. Attention to food details. Had the Ahi tuna and wife had the Trout. Loved it. We'll be back.

Amazing food that covers other sins. First, I want to say that everyone leaves laughing and happy. It is one of the first things that I noticed when I arrived. We sat near the door, and it was a joy to watch. It's a small place and tables are a bit too close. The back room is an unreasonable cluster where people are right on top of each other. It seemed stuffy when we arrived and that turned into a glistening sweat as we ate. . The server was delightful. She knew the menu and described things well. We really enjoyed her. We ordered cocktails. Her wine was delicious. My old fashioned was perfect. The starter salad was great for my wife. Even my little plate of greens and berries were unexpectedly good. The wait for our meal was unpleasant. We were hot and sweaty. The restaurant was annoyingly loud. We mentioned the heat to the waitress who was sweet and agreed but could not solve the problem. I had scallops with veggies which were amazing. I loved every bite. The scallops had that perfect crispy outside and tender flavorful center. My wife had the beef rib over pasta. She raved about her meal. I snuck a bite and it was flavorful and tender. She carried on about how delicious the pasta was and how incredible the mushrooms were. The meal was truly exceptional. There was a fly that would not leave our table. At the end of our meal, it found a mate and made love on the window sill as we waited for the check. Even they left happy.
