Restaurants near Gauley Mountain Trail

Food was out of this world only to be outdone by even better service. Thank you Heather for a great evening!!!

This bar was special. Loved the cocktails and pie- both very tasty. There was so much effort and thought put into each detail of the rooms and cocktails.

Surprisingly Classy and well done and comfortable.

If you are going to New River Gorge National Park (and you definitely should), there is only one premier restaurant in Fayetteville (called The Gaines Estate) and one premier restaurant 25 minutes north in Summersville (The Vault). We strongly encourage anyone visiting this area to give your business to both restaurants since their prices are reasonable and the food a cut above (way above) the burgers and pizza you will get at other restaurants. The Vault's atmosphere is superb - located in the heart of downtown in a refurbished, historic bank building with a large bank vault (hence the name) dominating the first floor, high ceilings, and white linens on the tables. The vegeteble flat bread was outstanding; the wine selection very good (which is saying alot for this area); and the service very efficient and friendly. We enjoyed chicken piccata with angel hair pasta and a filet mignon with asparagus and a baked potato. Both of these restaurants cannot survive without strong tourist traffic - the local community cannot sustain them (as evidenced by both conversation we enjoyed and number of people dining). Do future travelers a big favor and keep these two restaurants alive.

Food and service were excellent. Views were fantastic. Restaurant was almost empty when we visited on a Sunday night in October. Difficult to reach anyone by phone at the resort for dining or lodging questions.
