"Dinner out on New Years Day with my husband. Be prepared to wait to be seated, even with a reservation. If there is room, you can wait at the bar, as we did. Bat tenders were excellent at their craft, and had great personalities as well. Once seated, we had excellent service. I had the pork chop dinner, which was phenomenal. Also the pear salad to start. Can not beat that flavor. We had bread plates, but no table bread was brought. My husband had the NY Strip, which he said was also amazing flavor. The sides were very fresh & flavorful as well. My only complaint is how close our seating was to the next table. I don’t mind being friendly, but there was no opportunity for a private conversation. Otherwise, it was an excellent experience. Patio seating is available in nice weather."

"We ate here multiple times during our stay since it was on the same floor as our hotel room. The food was delicious. Breakfast prices are more affordable than dinner. Reservations are not necessary for breakfast, but recommend for dinner. Excellent service and nice atmosphere."

"I’m so disappointed in what I thought would be a fantastic meal. The restaurant is nice, but needs some renovations. The feel is not what we expected for a Biltmore lodge restaurant. The service was outstanding. The food… this was the first night of the new fall menu and we had high expectations …to meet the prices. *Buffalo cauliflower - not much taste, cauliflower was over cooked and soggy (probably precooked) before fried in humongous sizes. Need a new technique or recipe. *Cornbread - not cooked to order, not fresh tasting. Cut in four pieces and served in a mini cast iron, cast iron was warm - bread was cold. Recommend chef compare notes with Cedrick’s for hot cornbread. *Meatloaf made with Biltmore beef $36. Extremely unremarkable with a gelatinous gravy that tasted like it came out of a jar. Recommend that the chef visit Veranda in Black Mountain when they feature their Meatloaf special. *Trout $36 - again, bland and tasteless fish and veggies. Recommend chef visit the NOC’s River’s End restaurant for how fresh trout should taste when prepared correctly. *Apple dessert - cinnamon sugar goo - not sure if there were apples in there. So, my friend, if you want to eat a good meal on Biltmore estate, I would skip Village Social. Biltmore Estate is an institution with a reputation that commands excellence. So what happened here??? At almost $100pp this was a HUGE disappointment. Do not recommend and we will not be back to these tables."

"Stopped for lunch at Village Social. The cornbread was good. The she crab bisque needed more crabmeat. The black bean burger and fries were okay. The fried pickles were interesting."

"The waitress was very polite and friendly. The coffee came out hot and fresh! The eggs were cooked perfectly as well as the bacon."
