Best Fun Restaurants in Lakemont

My wife and I had our 49th anniversary supper at Glen Ella Inn and Restaurant on 11/23/24. We both enjoy lamb which my wife had on a prior visit, so I had the 4 pc. rack of lamb and she ordered the beef, both medium rare. Her beef was so tender you could use a table knife. My New Zealand lamb was grilled and excellent also. The restaurant has 2 separate rooms each with fireplaces and approximately 7 tables each with no dividers in each room with the noise level being quiet while conversing normally. Our waitress, Bonnie was attentive, not overly, and we never felt rushed, but our reservation was 7 pm. and it was near 9 when we finished and closing time. For ambiance with an excellent meal, for a quiet evening, Glen Ella is a great choice. Our bill with 1 french onion soup and 1 coffee and the 2 entrees was a little over $100.

This was our first time at Madison’s. We read about this beautiful and recognized restaurant in Open Table. Since we had planned a trip to Franklin NC, we added Madison’s to our itinerary and we were not disappointed. In is a beautiful place on Main Street in Highlands, NC. The decor and atmosphere was elegant, and the food was fantastic. We highly recommend Madison’s if you are anywhere near Highlands.

Bones once again proves it’s the best steakhouse in the entire Southeastern US. 5 star service accompanied by the highest quality, tastiest food. Our party of 5 each had steaks. Each one was perfectly prepared, tender and melted in our mouths. The corn soufflé, Mac n cheese & spinach sides were on point as usual. The warm pecan pie for dessert was a show stopper. Can’t wait to go back again and again.

Wonderful pop up bar with delicious and festive seasonal drinks and the decorations are amazing! Totally worth getting in there for a great time.

Excellent food and service! Worth the curves in the road to get there!
