Editorial Review for Carolina Crossroads Restaurant – by Fred Benton
In Short
Step from the enormous porch into the graciously appointed lobby and find yourself surrounded by "homey" sophistication: buttery yellow walls, floral chintzes, massive fresh flower arrangements. It's a decorating theme that embodies the restaurant, at once comfy and upscale. Although the portions here are "European petite," the food is quite excellent thanks to the Inn's talented chef, Brian Stapleton. The fine-dining experience begins with an amuse-bouche and ends with chocolate truffles.

The ExtrasThe main dining room is for more upscale fare. The bar is more relaxed: this is a great place for a lighter, less-pricey nosh of a great burger or salad.
Where to SitTerrace dining is available when the weather is nice, pampering diners in a floral retreat of beautiful climbing white roses and lush greenery.

I spent my first Mother's Day at the Carolina Crossroad's brunch and had the best experience there! First of all, the restaurant is gorgeous. The perfect place for an elegant meal or a really cute bridal luncheon. The buffet was delicious! Well worth the money we spent on it. The buffet had everything you could want on it except for maybe some boiled shrimp. The desserts were really good. I can't wait to have tea there. The service could have been a little bit more attentive, though. I had to ask for our plates to be cleared after they walked past our table a few times. The servers seemed to be more concerned with taking care of the larger tables. All-in-all, it was a great way to spend my first Mother's Day.
Pros: beautiful restaurant, great food, elegant atmosphere
Cons: crowded

Four Star Service and Food at very affordable price. For less then what you would pay at an Applebee's or Chili's you can enjoy a freshly prepared, quick lunch in a very relaxing enviroment for less then $10 dollars a person. The menu is great but if you are in a hurry they offer a lunch buffet during the week that is fast and enjoyable.
Pros: service, great food, cost
