| Dining and Entertainment |
 The Corner Kitchen has been a favorite with both locals and visitors virtually since the day the doors opened.
It's often the "little things" that count and in this case the homemade vegetable chips added to lunchfare are truly the best chips on
the planet. But then, they'd have to be great to get noticed alongside the rest of the remarkable menu. It's hard to find a place you don't want to eat in Asheville, but put this one at the top of your list.
|
 Larkins on the Lake and The Bayfront Grill - An award winning wine list and
creative cuisine which has been featured in numerous newspapers and television specials in
the Southeast. From the fresh mountain trout to the hand cut steaks and the tender ribs,
Larkin's will live up to your expectations of what a dining experience should be. Located directly on Lake Lure - you can arrive by boat.

Sweet Onion Restaurant in downtown Waynesville offers a good variety of good food with virtually everything on the menu
tasty and plentiful. But you MUST get a side of mac 'n cheese, which should be called MAX and cheese, made
with ziti and a multi cheese blend that you can't stop eating. (do some extra hiking the next day) The trout is great too and
add a pleasant atmosphere and professional service and that makes it a favorite. |
