Excellent and professional service, starting from check in to complete table service. They all kindly acknowledged my wife's birthday. However, the price of the meal was expensive, and the portions of the selected items were small. The overall quality of the meal was very good, but quanity of prepared items did not match the price. I guess this is because we were dining at the Biltmore. You are paying for the experience.

The steaks were ordered medium - well done on the ends but medium in the middle The lobster tails were undercooked and very salty Bread was outstanding Drinks unique Salads and signature soups excellent but could have been hotter ! In our party of 8.... some had excellent entrees - others not so much. 50/50 on value for the cost - overall disappointed !

The halibut was generous portion , moist with flavorful crust. In comparison , the rabbit was dry and a small portion. The asparagus salad was disappointing. Two stalks cut into pieces. The petite berry salad was good. The chocolate dessert was attractively presented. Wished for another dab of sorbet with the small cubes of chocolate cake. The prickly pear mock tail was refreshing. Overall not worth the expense for a highly rated fine dining venue.

We had an absolutely wonderful evening. Our server Grace was so knowledgeable, able to answer all of our questions in great detail and really guided us through our meal and our entire dining experience. The food was truly amazing and the view breathtaking. Highly recommend.
Amazing dining experience. Our server, Mario, was fantastic! Recommended an entree - lamb - that we never would have looked at otherwise. It was fabulous. So good we made a reservation for another evening!!

Had breakfast twice and dinner once in The Dining Room. In each instance, the service was very professional, friendly, and attentive. The food quality was comparable to a premium steak venue. The she-crab soup on the dinner menu is excellent. The steak filet is also excellent, though perhaps not as tender as one might find in Dallas or Kansas City. Ended with a lemon cake and icecream dessert which was definitely work the calories.

We ate at the Biltmore Inn for the first time for dinner two nights in a row. The food was beautiful to look at and delicious to taste. The service was excellent and very professional. Our waiters were attentive and friendly, without ever being intrusive. The dinner was expensive, but worth every penny. I've eaten at many expensive restaurants where the food was not as good, the service not as professional, and the ambience not as relaxing and beautiful. The best recommendation I can make is to say that we've re-booked at the Biltmore Inn for September and are looking forward to a delightful stay and delicious food once again.

Refined dining with attention to detail .. Staff makes you feel welcome and the service and food are exceptional .. very accommodating to any special restrictions. The Inn practices Farm (Vanderbilt's Own) to Table ... with a varied selection of dishes with a wide range of options. Save room for killer deserts! An experience that makes you feel like a Vanderbilt

Salad appetizers were mediocre. Service was slow — took a long time to get our drinks. Bread plate/choices were so-so. Halibut and lamb entrees were delicious, but overpriced. Over all, we wished we had dined elsewhere.

A disappointing culinary experience for us. Both ordered the halibut and found it to be dry, bland and uninspiring. The compressed salad may have included two strawberries and only a handful of blueberries. Sadly, the bread course and the backlit menu were the only ‘highlights' of our experience. Expected far better considering the cost and Biltmore reputation for excellence. .
The menu had interesting items that matched the season. It was an enjoyable experience from eating at the Inn's dinning room, to the excellent staff, to the truly delicious food. I'll definitely return.

Everything was perfect from the inital greeting. We were immediately seated and wine was served. Our server was Sal. Sal was friendly, receptive, and professional n every regard. He gave us excellent guidance rewgarding the menu. Once we ordered, we took our wine and relaxed on the patio with its stunning view. Our appetivers & entrees (filet & halibut) were beyond excellent. The greeters, Sal, and ambience werec excellent. Looking forward to our next visit. Many Thanks, Bob & Lynn Kieffer

Service was absolutely top notch. Our server made great recommendations for food and wine. The food was very good. I would recommend having a drink in the Library located immediately above the restaurant as the views are spectacular.

I was disappointed: 1. This is supposed to be a top tier restaurant. It even has a statement on the website about Dress to Impress. I was expecting something quite special. Yet, in the dining room I was in only one table had a male with a sports jacket. I was looking forward to a special occasion not a diner that looked like all others.It took away from the specialness that I was expecting.either don't allow the wrong dress or offer spare sports jacket 2. It was my wife's birthday and the staff knew it. Yet, nothing special was done. Quite surprised 3. we ordered wine by the glass. My glass was empty and never was asked for a refill This was not the very special experience I was looking forward to

Service was great but had to send my $65 dollar steak back and didn't want another because my husband's food was served and I would have eaten alone. Disappointing 50th anniversary celebration to say the least.
