    We have been to The Creag at McLemore several times and have made it our special occasion lunch location. The food is wonderful, and the views are unmatched. The one thing that will keep us coming back is the service. The best food cannot compensate for poor service. The Creag offers excellent food, amazing views, and outstanding service. The wait staff were attentive without hovering, comfortably conversational, and professional in their presentation. It has a casual golf clubhouse feel but still provides some sophistication and elegance. Can't wait to go back!

    Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're honored to be your special occasion destination and thrilled that our food, views, and attentive service made your experience memorable. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    “Above & Beyond” We each enjoyed our entire experience from being met and greeted with kindness by the staff members to the exceptional service and meals. This was our first visit with our daughter whom prides herself on enjoying and critiquing restaurant experiences, I am pleased to share she was beyond impressed! BTW, she found the atmosphere and views to be inspirational motivating her prompt return. Thank you Kyle and F&B staff

    Strange experience. Arrived a few minutes before reservation and was told our table wasn’t ready so we went to the bar. Ordered drinks and shortly after our table was ready. But since they cannot transfer the tab to our table we waited another 10 min to get our bar drinks before we could move to our table. I had requested a non high top table but they said there was only a high top available. Once we were seated we noticed an empty two top right behind us. Manager said it was reserved. After 15 minutes I asked again. Finally he accommodated our request after he was embarrassed to realize nobody was sitting there. We hadn’t even ordered yet. Service was overall strange and ambivalent. Waiter didn’t seem to know the menu. Food was average and overpriced similar to the rest of the restaurants at this resort.
