    I took my daughter and family to see the Biltmore House and we ate at this restaurant. Our reservation was for 5:30, but we got there at 4:00. The host sat us anyway. I ordered the shrimp and grits 😋 It was superb! The brussel sprouts were delicious and amazing cornbread. I would definitely recommend anything on the menu.

    The Edison has a wonderful setting, with beautiful views towards the Blue Ridge Mountains. We’ve had excellent food in the past, but they’ve just reopened. My husband’s beef brisket was excellent. My smash burger was OK. But we had a lovely time visiting the Grove Park Inn, enjoying the terrace for a pre-dinner drink. And we were glad to see that the historic lobby has reverted to its Arts and Crafts decor. Beautiful! We’re locals, so have visited many time over the years.

    The Bistro was very delicious! We had an early dinner before our Candlelight tour of Biltmore House. The Burrata was a great appetizer, with pesto and focaccia. My husband and I both got the Filet Mignon and it was one of the best we’ve ever had! Followed by the flourless chocolate cake to share. Definitely recommend this spot on the Biltmore Estate!

    It was awesome as always, would really like Cherries Jubilee added back to the dessert bar. The waitperson was a joy, hope to see her again. Glad you’re open. Looking forward to our next visit.
