Best Restaurants for Groups in Cherokee

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.

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.

Unanimously the best meal my husband and I had of 2024. We were seated on the patio on a 40 degree night, and it was perfectly comfortable. The pork belly “small plate” knocked our socks off, and the veggie pasta was outstanding. Our only regret was not leaving room for dessert, because that doughnut bread pudding looked BOMB. Didn’t particularly care for our server. He was easily distracted and kept repeating himself. A dinner for 2 turned into a 2 hour affair, but the biggest hangups were coming back to take our order and bringing us our bill. Could have been an off night for him, we’ve all been there, and it didn’t alter our experience to keep us from ever coming back.

Food was delicious and service great. They are doing a great job reopening after the affect of Hurricane Helene.

Eating outside on the terrace with its outstanding views makes Sunset Terrace a beautiful and special place. I always go there to celebrate special occasions.
