About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
In the mountains of North Georgia the Lake Rabun Hotel & Restaurant has been welcoming guests since 1922. Restored in 2008, the hotel and restaurant offer the best of rustic elegance. From the antique heart pine walls to the locust beams on our deck, expect unique, local craftsmanship. The decor is rich with period antiques, hand-woven rugs, and local artwork.

It features a creatively prepared and presented Contemporary American menu with a Southern twist in the farm to table tradition. Fresh produce locally grown is hand selected and prepared by our Chef de Cuisine, whose entrees respect the natural flavors of high quality, humanely raised and locally harvested food. His kitchen produces cuisines from many regions including Classical French, Southern USA, and Mediterranean. Many guests describe the food at the Lake Rabun Hotel as "the best in the mountains."

    Nice location - pretty entry area. Interior is nice as well - although possibly needs dehumidifier to be turned on now that is is nearly summer. Seated on time - not crowded at all (even though it was Memorial Day weekend), which was nice. Service was good - taking one star off just because it was slightly below great. Same with the food - while very good, still a slight step below Excellent. Drinks - I only got an Americano which was decent, but the mimosa my companion got was totally underwhelming - that would be enough to take one star off all by itself. Overall - a decent experience, but I will try some of the other restaurants nearby next time I am in the area.

    Great atmosphere, food was good service was a little slow but server had several tables. Server knew the menu well! Husband had beef tips for appetizer and I had corn chowder which were excellent! The bread and pesto spread were delicious. My mojito was perfect and the ice tea was excellent! My husband had the steak that was the special and he said it was perfect, I had the pasta of the day and it was good, I had a lobster tail added to my plate and it was cooked perfectly. The only complaint was that the server seemed a bit slow but she was thorough. My pasta was a bit salty, but I just returned from Italy and noticed the difference between pastas so I was a bit biased. We will definitely return. Wonderful evening and a great place to go for a quiet relaxing evening! I would highly recommend the restaurant.

    Delightful porchlike setting in the trees with big windows all around. Excellent friendly service and thoughtfully prepared interesting dishes. I ate there two nights in a row and enjoyed the experience thoroughly.

    Went there on a recommendation for dinner. Ordered twin lobster tails, it came out with no drawn butter. I asked the waitress to bring out some, after 10 minutes she brought me out solid butter seasoned. She responded her and the chef did not know about drawn butter that should be served with lobster tails. While we waited the rest of our food got cold.
