Restaurants near Scaly Mountain Ski Area

We always look forward to dining at Ruth's Chris in Cherokee. The extensive wine list is quite impressive, the food always delicious and the service exceptional. Thank you to Jessica for making our night even more memorable by surprising us with our dessert for our anniversary.

We are seafood lovers but were hesitant about that fare in the Smoky Mountains. Rave reviews convinced us to try the Chesapeake. We are so glad we did! We were greeted pleasantly and taken to a booth overlooking the river. The hostess fretted that the quieter are we had requested now had a large party. The setting of our table was lovely, but the music level was a challenge for my husband with a hearing issue. Beyond that,our meal was wonderful. The grilled oysters that we shared were delightful with the yummy bread provided. Our cocktails were brought promptly and were the perfect accompaniment to the appetizer. Our entrees were delicious - crab cakes and Chesapeake shrimp. For sides we chose the bacon and cheddar grits and Cole slaw. Both were tasty, although the grits could have been warmer. We each ordered a glass of NZ white wine with our dinners. Our server, Eliana, was pleasant and proficient. This was our favorite meal in Gatlinburg. We highly recommend The Chesapeake.

Food was great start with drinks from the bar. And then a wedge salad and a soup of the day. Our meals were hot and everything we wanted. Service was 10/10

We were thrilled with the experience! We had requested a table with a “pretty view” for my mother-in-law’s 90th birthday. It did not disappoint! Our server was perfect and the chef made a special dessert for the birthday… the food was hot, fresh, and perfectly prepared. We will go back!

Always have dinner here when visiting Gatlinburg. Great steaks and crab cakes, ahi tuna app. Chocolate martini for dessert. Yum
