Waterwheel Restaurant

"We came here to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. Seven years ago we had been here to experience a fabulous meal. So naturally we wanted to try it again. We were not disappointed. In fact, the dining experience was even better. The first course was their 6 onion soup. On our last visit, we remember the French onion soup was their calling card. This new onion soup iteration was just as good . Then the wild green salad with a unique balsamic dressing was served. Delightful flavor coupled with fresh local mixed greens was a big hit. Next, the main course arrived. It consisted of charcoal-broiled wild caught mountain trout with asparagus over a bed of spaghetti squashed. This was the best trout we’ve ever eaten. Our server Kelly provided outstanding service and guidance. One of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. And we’ve been all over the world. Expensive-yes but worth it. The food transcends the area. Schedule a reservation in the area. You will be very happy you did."

"Always a great date night for my wife and I. Our most recent visit was exceptionally good...best shrimp and grits ever...#1 on the list of greatest meals I've ever eaten. Our waitress was exceptionally attentive and very courteous."

"Excellent flavors, every bite was delicious , drinks perfect. service ….spot on! Everything was 10 of 10"

"Outstanding meal at the Waterwheel. Highly recommend over frankly the Jefferson at the Homestead."

"Pretty average for a fine dining restaurant. The cherry reduction was broken and still served, looked like a crime scene on a plate. Foods stacked on top of foods is the absolute worst most uncreative form of plating. The duck confit was not crispy, and not seasoned well. No food options particularly stand out and service was ok. Have had better experiences elsewhere with better quality and price point. I wouldn’t recommend."
