The Best of Many Saluda, NC Restaurants
For such a small town, there are quite a few great Saluda, NC restaurants. None, however, offer quite the same experience as Newman’s Restaurant, the exquisite onsite restaurant found at our North Carolina Bed and Breakfast.
It’s hard to argue with a menu crafted from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, but when it’s done with unmatched attention to detail, the result is a truly unforgettable dining experience. The menus at Newman’s are prix fixe and change weekly based on what’s available. Many of the ingredients in our seasonal menus come from our own 4,000 sq. ft. organic garden and mini-orchard – it doesn’t get more local than that!
Though few things compete with the delicious dishes brought to your table, the view of the North Carolina mountains just might. We offer an indoor dining room and an outdoor terrace – both exceptional places to savor a glass of wine or two with your meal. These views are just another reason so many guests rave about the dining experience here and rate us as one of the best Saluda, NC restaurants.
Guests who choose to stay in our overnight accommodations are also treated to a delicious, made-to-order breakfast at Newman’s – a fantastic amenity that’s included in the cost of your stay. On Sundays, we also offer a 3-course brunch service. Finally, we can’t talk about what makes Newman’s one of the best Saluda, NC restaurants without mentioning the year-round events and special dinners we host. These events are truly part of the experience!
We regularly host holiday meals, such as Easter Brunch and Valentine’s or New Year’s Eve dinners. But we also go one step further in providing our guests with unique dining experiences and host themed dinners and celebrations, many of which are coupled with immersive entertainment.
Take, for example, our upcoming themed dinner, An Evening on the Titanic. This meal, held every April, celebrates the historic journey of the Titanic in 1912. The dinner features a menu that closely replicates what was served on the final night of the ship’s journey and includes a performance from a local actor who recounts each day’s activities and interesting factoids about the ship and its passengers.
With exquisite dinner opportunities like these, not to mention our regular fine-dining experience, it’s easy to see why Newman’s is consistently rated as one of the best Saluda, NC restaurants.
