Canyon Kitchen - Sapphire

This is my second time in Canyon Kitchen and I just have to say that they are not disappointed. I had one of the best NC bass I ever had and it was paired with Butternut Squash Risotto. I would recommend visiting and experiencing this wonderful place for everyone. Between delicious food and magnificent views it has everything.

After time in other restaurants in the Cashiers and Highlands area, the food and service was not on the brand compared to others. The view from the bar and the outside seats is breathtaking! The inside reno barn look is very nice with all wood, high ceilings and beautiful fireplace.

Canyon Kitchen is amazing. However, we could not make reservations, there was a cancellation and they set us up. Elise and Julian at the bar are fantastic. Vary friendly, knowledgeable, and drinks where amazing. Robie is amazing with his knowledge of wine and parings. Finally and certainly not least our waitress Cara. Cara was according to professional, fun and knowledge. We had an explosion with her as our waitress and would recommend it to everyone. Thanks for the great experience. We will return.

Terrible experience! My wife called to see if we could get drinks, and she said it was good for drinks, even without dinner. We've often come before and that was good. We had told our two guest couples who were visited from Atlanta by the beautiful location. We all dressed and showed up around 5:59. The manager told us we couldn't have drinks because we didn't have dinner reservations. We should have come for drinks between 5 and 6, but we were sent away. There was no one in the restaurant! The woman who answered my wife denied the conversation. We are long residents of Cashier?s and will not recommend Canyon Kitchen. He could have said, "Next time please come between 5 and 6, but now please come to drink. We introduced a new rule, but we appreciate you as Canyon Kitchen cartridges and supporters?. The manager must be fired. We were all dressed in sports jackets and beautiful dresses. Not as if we were dressed inappropriately. I recommend you to boycott this attitude and rude service. Canyon cuisine used to be the most important place to visit and support. Not now. Double thumb down.

Unfortunately I didn?t realize this was not a public restaurant but rather a country club restaurant where members are supporting the club. I have eaten at many like this and while some are extraordinary many leave much to be desired. Weather was poor which no one could have done anything about. We arrived precisely at our reservation time and rather than be seated at our table we were told to go to the bar for a drink realize that we were the second group there for dinner at our 5:45 reservation which was the only one we could get. There wasn?t a single table seated at this time). We did, ordered a drink, and stood for 15 minutes no place to sit? not because there were other people present? there were literally no seats. One lady beside me asked the bartender So are we just supposed to stand and drink and he said yes). So eventually we were seated at our table. Our waitress was nice. It was very windy and rainy. They had their plastic down to keep the weather outside but they didn?t fasten it in place. So every wind gust would blow the plastic in my wife?s lap. Multiple times staff would walk by looking at the blowing plastic but no one offered to fasten it down. Finally I asked someone to do it which they did on my wife?s side but not on mine. So I did it for my side. The food was maybe a bit above average. Certainly nothing that I would return for. For desert I ordered the ?warm pound cake? with peaches and?. Blah blah blah?. And my wife laughed when she saw a cook not a chef) literally bringing down Sara Lee pound cake from the stairs. My wife ordered the lava cake and it was just as good as the lava cake from dominos pizza, so it was pretty good. Never did the manager stop by and ask how our dinner was. Please please please go somewhere else for dinner.
