Absolutely wonderful evening! We almost stayed in but so thankful we didn’t. From the moment we walked in we felt like we were on the best date ever. Great atmosphere. We dressed business casual and fit right in. Ordered the chicken liver appetizer and it was the best livers my husband has ever had. The soup of the day was delicious. And we both ordered the pecan trout and was blown away. It was by far the best trout we’d had. We would give them a 10 if it was available. Kathy our server made our night even better. She was spot on, friendly and personable. We will definitely be back.

Entrees are a little pricey but worth it, continental divide trout was so good, the skin was crispy and delicious. Shrimp n grits was very good the sauce and veggies w andoulle on it was excellent. 1st time here, will be back. Returned and tried crab cakes app, Silver run seafood and pasta and trout. Everything was excellent. Joe gave great service.

We come eat here once a year while we are in Cashiers. Great food. They do alot of fresh local dishes most of which are fantastic. The appetizers are on the very small side, but the main courses are very filling. Service is spot on both the server and the bartender visit the table and introduce themselves. They are always knowledgeable and helpful. Do make a reservation as they tend to fill up. Sometimes if you're lucky the local black bear will visit the field by the restaurant.

Delicious food, fresh ingredients, excellent service! My wife had the wild mushroom ravioli and I enjoyed a special offering of Steak au Poivre which was perfectly prepared with their special touch. We visit the area every summer and finally made reservations in advance, so thankful that we did! Great place for a special occasion, noting that it isn’t inexpensive but is well worth it. We can’t wait to visit again!

We had a very nice dinner here. The potato & mushroom soup was delicious. The shrimp and grits were good. Our reservation was at 8:30. We had an appetizer, but didn’t get our meals until almost 10. I would suggest making your reservation several days ahead of time as this is a very popular restaurant in Cashiers.

The Orchard has never disappointed us, and thus it was last night. As we walked from the parking lot I noticed only one other license plate from North Carolina. The farthest away was from Michigan! Our table overlooked the orchard! As usual the service was impeccable and the food wonderful! I ordered the Glenville Trout. WOW! As you can see, I was unable to finish it and am looking forward to lunch today!

The Orchard Restaurant is one of our favorite restaurants. It is definitely the best in the area. We try to go often and when we do it’s never a disappointment. We have been going now for several years. Joe is absolutely the best and can remember what you enjoy drinking and what meal you had last time. Such a pleasure to have dinner at The Orchard. This time I ordered the Trout Almondine. OMG, I can’t believe what I had been missing out on. It’s now my favorite new dish. My husband had the pasture and sea which is a bacon wrapped fillet and he chose the crabcakes. He also got the chicken livers appetizer, which is his favorite appetizer. Delicious!!! This is definitely our happy place. Highly recommend this restaurant and Joe!

A cute cozy spot with really good food! Our server was fantastic for a large party. Loved the seafood pasta and it came out so hot. Loved it!
