Rowland's - BLOWING ROCK

Rowlands Restaurant at Westglow Resort and Spa is one of these special places with great food, friendly staff, luxurious decor and magnificent views. And the Stately Greek Revival mansion Rowlands is open to the public. Image: The host of the Westglow Resort Spa Rowland led us through the library bar to our table on the sun terrace. View into the library bar from the sun terrace. Ladies, the stand to the right should hold your handbag as well as your packaging. Of course, it'll hold a man's purse. Sun Porch tables are set with beautiful chargers and a number of salts. We kept our own salt taste test while waiting for our drinks. When drinks arrived, we asked our server if she knew about the salts and their credit, she explained every type and beat food for everyone.

The angle is a little strange in my photo, so here is a picture of a similar shot glass so you can see how sweet that was. Per

The setting at Westglow is perfect. Go just before sunset so you can enjoy the full, mountain range sunset from the porch and the after glow. The food is excellent, on par with what you would anticipate from a Relais and Chateaux.

The porch attached to Rowland’s is the perfect place to soak up the mountains at sunset with a cocktail! We went just for drinks so can’t speak to the food, but the cocktails are fantastic and service is great. Grab a cocktail menu at the bar on your way in and then head outside to the porch. Cocktails are pricey $16) but it’s worth it for the peaceful surroundings and a great drink.

5 star view! Wonderful old world atmosphere with impeccable delicious food. Cocktails were spot on.

Amazing ambience and romantic\historic setting. Food tasted great. Our waiter Aaron was very polite, time efficient, and knowledgeable. Will be returning.
