"Dinner was excellent and the service was supurb. Very beautiful restaurant with great view. The only recommendation I have is that they need to have a larger selection of beer."

"Rowland's offers one of the best dining experiences in the High Country. We celebrated my birthday with friends there on Friday night. The food was delicious, presented beautifully, and served well. While the restaurant is quite expensive, it is worth the price! We enjoyed a pleasant drink in the cozy bar before dinner where the assistant manager was friendly about sharing information about the spa and restaurant. We have dined here on other occasions and each time is a true pleasure. The attention to detail is not be be missed by discriminating diners."

"Not up to previous visits. Food was acceptable but not special - seabass was extremely salty and osso bucco was not cook sufficiently (tough). An off-season visit and it showed."

"We celebrated our anniversary and had a wonderful meal and enjoyed the beautiful dining area. For appetizers we ordered the apple salad and the prawns. We both got the sea bass and everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Desert was berry crisp and spiced creme brulee and they were onderful! Pinot Grigio that our terrific waiter Chris suggested went great with the sea bass. The staff was so nice and very attentive. So amazing to have a restaurant of this quality in the High Country! Thanks so much to the chef and the staff for making dinner on our special day both elegant and fun!"

"We had a wonderful time at your restaurant. One of us has quite a few food allergens and you were more than accomodating to make our night special and worry free. The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Your chef came out to speak with us and that meant a lot. We are looking forward to many return trips in the futute!"
