If you go, you really need to try the mixed grill appetizer. I think next time I want it as my entree. Ours had chunks of boar and elk and boar and venison sausages with 3 very different, but delicious, dipping sauces. Yum. The rest of the meal was delicious but that mixed grill was amazing.

Chetola is one of the most beautiful settings in the Blowing Rock area. Haven, its signature restaurant, offers delicious food and drinks and attentive service in a cozy, intimate setting. It is especially appealing in the fall, with fires blazing and nature putting on a show outdoors. Put on your sweater and enjoy a cocktail by the firepit followed by lunch or dinner on the patio. Or dine indoors and enjoy the fireplace. You may get a bit nostalgic for bygone times in lovely, historical Chetola.

    Had a fabulous meal in main dining room with gorgeous view of Blue Ridge mountains. The Trout was excellent with the most tasty Yukon mashed potatoes, just amazing. The flatiron steak cooked to perfection. Excellent Caesar salad with shaved fresh Parmesan. Perhaps the best Caesar ever. Desert of Texas pecan pie outstanding! Only complaint we were there on a Thursday night and the live music too load for the inside dining room. Otherwise a perfect experience and a must do when in Boone, Blowing rock area.
