Husband and I truly enjoyed our lunch at this beautiful establishment a couple weeks ago. We walked in, w/out a reservation, but were seated immediately. The food was perfectly executed and our waitress was super attentive and provided excellent service. Not too much, not too little. We were seated next to a wall of windows that allowed you to take nature in. Highly recommend. We are looking forward to our next trip to Seasons but for dinner this time

This is an awesome restaurant! It is very charming but not stuffy or old fashioned. It's a great destination restaurant. They do except reservation which makes planning a night out on the weekend easier. The food is fresh and tasty with modern twists. The cook is phenomenal! Service is fast and friendly without being overbearing. They offer a nice selection of wines and a full bar. We had the trout and the steak. Both were excellent. We had creme brulee and a key lime tart for dessert - again both excellent. We will definitely be back to this wonderful restaurant.

Crab cake, prime rib, and the trout were phenomenal. We had creme Brule for dessert, and it was delicious as well. Can't believe it has taken us this long to finally have dinner here. We will be back again soon!

I've been here twice over just the past few days. Friday for lunch and Sunday for the brunch buffet. Both were excellent!!! I absolutely loved the lunch which was one of the very best meals I have ever had at any restaurant anywhere. I had the house salad with Buttermilk dill dressing which was excellent, the Beouf Bourguignon which was Incredible, and margaritas which were great. The dessert was great as well. The atmosphere and the window seat view were awesome. The service was extraordinary. The brunch buffet was also excellent. All of the food was very good and there were lots of great selections. The Bloody Mary was delicious as well. The staff were extremely friendly. This place is Awesome. I will be back for sure. I highly recommend. Also, the location at Highland Lake is simply beautiful as well as quite historical.

I tasteful gem in the mountains near Asheville. After years of going to the Grove Park Inn, eating a list and satisfying, overprice buffet for special events. The Seasons buffet was a wonderful change. The quality of the food was excellent. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and you could ask for your slice to be cut at the temperature you preferred. The shrimp, oysters on the half shell, and other seafood was tasty, and as fresh as you could get in the mountains. There were ample amounts of other types of food, and a wide variety of desserts. I will happily return for special events and also to try their regular menu

Upscale but comfortably classic dining experience. Perfect for a memorable meal with good friends. Well executed and unique dishes such as Cornish game hen and dry aged pork chops. Wonderful desserts and distinctive salads as well.

We were in town to enjoy the season change and celebrate my husband’s birthday. While deciding where to have dinner we fell on Season’s at Highland Lake and have no regrets. Dinner was impeccable and memorable!! We are going to make Seasons a staple when visiting the area and consider staying on the property next visit.

Great food. Superb service. Music was great. We had the bread service. The tomato onion focaccia was my favorite. My husband wanted the roasted seasonal mushrooms as an appetizer. I normally don't eat or like mushrooms. I ate half of them. Never tasted anything like it. For the entree, we both had the prime ribeye. I can honestly say I've never at something so good and fresh tasting. For dessert we had the tiramisu. Wonderful.... it was great. Our server was Collette. She was very nice. The whole atmosphere was so relaxing.
