Restaurants near Shepard Inn

We love Chesapeakes! We had one person with us who had shellfish allergies and the waiter and chef were extremely accommodating. The crab bisque is always a favorite as well as the oysters. We also enjoyed scallops, the stuffed flounder, and grouper.

Excellent food. David , our waiter was very efficient and friendly. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

My family and I ate at Ember & Elm multiple times during our stay. The service, food, cleanliness, and comfort were all above par. Our server Bill greeted us each morning for breakfast. The avocado toast was the absolute best I have ever had and my husband loved the buffet. Being away for the holidays is new to our family so I admittedly looked for ways to scrutinize and compare it to our personal traditions. We chose the Thanksgiving dinner buffet based on the variety of options available. It was not as intimate as I had hoped, maybe because of the open ballroom. However, no detail was overlooked. The food was abundant and delicious. Everything was decorated beautifully. We had Jeanine taking care of us, who was so kind. I honestly can say I am grateful to Ember & Elm for making my family’s Thanksgiving wonderful. We may have even found a new tradition.

Dottie was our server, and she was very personable and efficient. Food was amazing and perfect to prepare for the day ahead at Dollywood. For resort pricing, I grade the value as five stars, since it's a hearty buffet with man options including an omelet station. We will definitely be back for breakfast next time we stay!

Love all the Christmas decorations! Fireplace was lit, great atmosphere! Food was hot, which I appreciate!
