About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Sometimes, the magic of sharing a table with friends over delicious food and wine is elevated by the setting Canyon Kitchen is that kind of place. We craft creative Appalachian cuisine using local produce and organic selections from our community gardens and nearby farms. Our multi-course, à la carte menu changes regularly sometimes daily and is complemented by an extensive wine list and seasonal cocktails. A $40 corkage fee applies to bottles up to 750ml.

We recommend arriving 20 minutes early to enjoy the beauty of our meadow. Reservations require a $25 per person credit card hold, charged only if canceled within 24 hours.

For your convenience, we offer the option to split your bill into up to three equal checks. A 20% service charge is automatically added to each check and shared among our front-line staff. We appreciate your support and welcome you to Canyon Kitchen in the heart of Lonesome Valley.

    Beautiful views and setting! Food was okay and service was not as attentive as one would expect for this level of restaurant.

    Canyon Kitchen has done some remodeling to allow for more bar space and eating area. It looks amazing. The food and service is always exceptional. Great experience.
