Restaurants near Travelers Rest

My wife and I had our 49th anniversary supper at Glen Ella Inn and Restaurant on 11/23/24. We both enjoy lamb which my wife had on a prior visit, so I had the 4 pc. rack of lamb and she ordered the beef, both medium rare. Her beef was so tender you could use a table knife. My New Zealand lamb was grilled and excellent also. The restaurant has 2 separate rooms each with fireplaces and approximately 7 tables each with no dividers in each room with the noise level being quiet while conversing normally. Our waitress, Bonnie was attentive, not overly, and we never felt rushed, but our reservation was 7 pm. and it was near 9 when we finished and closing time. For ambiance with an excellent meal, for a quiet evening, Glen Ella is a great choice. Our bill with 1 french onion soup and 1 coffee and the 2 entrees was a little over $100.

We came here for my fiancés birthday. It was also our first time. They had the cutest card ready with all these Jeep ducks and even a little Jeep toy car. I could not believe it!! They asked me prior to arrival what his likes were and they created a personalized experience for us. We got the Prime Rib for 2… for $65 I thought it was an incredible deal. We couldn’t finish it all. The food was incredible, our waitress was incredible and the ambience was perfect. Highly recommend!!!!

So excited to have a restaurant of this caliber in our area!!!!

This restaurant is consistently inviting. The ambiance is welcoming. Dillon, our server, was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The food never disappoints. Cocktails are top notch.

Excellent food and service! Worth the curves in the road to get there!
