Newman's - SALUDA

A unique experience and great food. The fall colors were at peak and the view was amazing.

This is truly an experience, not just a lovely dinner. We arrived early and had a drink in the main lobby of the Orchard Inn, which was lovely. Then we entered the dining area where we were surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the fall colors. The lighting in the area and the beautiful fireplace made the ambience so romantic! Then came the menus and there were so many choices that we wanted to try. Every dish was delicious and we were delighted. We don't usually like prix fix menus but Newman's is definitely an exception. I wouldn't change a thing ... such a special experience.

The food was outstanding, and the service was exceptional! Our waitress, Lynn, was wonderful. We visited for Sunday brunch, and I think they should consider selling those jalapeño biscuits to customers as they leave—it's honestly the best biscuit I've ever tasted! We definitely plan to come back.

Our entire evening was a joy. The staff was friendly and articulate, and the food was beautifully prepared and presented. We will definitely return to Newman’s for another evening.

The food here is exceptional and inventive, set in a truly beautiful location. It's uncommon to come across such a delightful establishment in an area with limited fine dining options. This place would be considered top-notch, even in a culinary hotspot.
