Excellent seafood, considering you are in mountains of North Carolina. Our meals of raw oysters, oysters Rockefeller, catfish, fried shrimp and peel and eat shrimp were outstanding, not to mention the hush-puppies. Angelica was our waitress and she was super. I don't think you would be disappointed eating here.

"Oh my! That's a small salad!?" I commented when we were brought plates piled high with greens, lots of veges and chicken. We wanted lighter fare and were encouraged to get the smaller version of the Well House Salad. It was delicious and filling. We had been wandering around town, enjoying chatting with the vendors of various shops and buying gifts for friends and family. When the "hungries" hit, we were glad the Well House was close by. I particularly enjoyed the quiet, cozy atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff and the delicious sweet tea! Thank you!

We visit this eatery every time we visit Sylva and Dillsboro. Try the Big Fat Greek crepe! The ingredients are fresh, the service is friendly, and the business' commitment to the community is evident. And the beer selection is excellent.

Stopped while on the train. Were seated and sat for 10 minutes. We were really looking forward to trying it out, unfortunately we didn't stay because on this particular day we were pressed for time and decided to eat elsewhere and do some shopping and walking. Plan carefully id you're taking the train.

Cute little place with a lovely outdoor patio in the back and dogs are welcome. Lunch was good but nothing special. Fresh salads, and a different small plate (which was very generous) of grilled potbelly mushrooms. Gorgonzola salad dressing was disappointing, however... Very runny and not enough zing.

Asheville has nothing on this place. We thoroughly enjoyed a few local brews in the afternoon on an outside covered deck overlooking a small river. The bartender was helpful in steering us to something she thought that we would like. Very laid back place. Parking is not good. NOTE: I rated the food excellent even though there is none since Tripadvisor would not have allowed a rating but do not serve food at this establishment. There is an adjoining food truck (Cosmic) where you can get short orders and a pizza place in the same building.

We decided to try Kostas Family Restuarant while passing through Dillsboro. What a find! Large portions, shrimp plate had 13 big shrimp with fries and slaw, chicken ceasar pita was so big I couldn't finish it, fish and chips were plentiful too. Prices were reasonable and we will be back when traveling that way again.

We showed up with a group of 8 for dinner approximately 2 hours prior to closing and were turned away due to us having a large group. I could understand having a wait, but to turn away business is not a good way to run your business.We are sorry you did not have the opportunity to dine with us. Unfortunately, on busy nights when our reservations are fully booked we have no choice but to stop seating, We strive to be the #1 steakhouse in the North Carolina Mountains. Please always call and make reservations. 828-631-9713
