   We ordered the Pork Chop and a Filet and both meals and sides were absolutely delicious! On top of great food our waitress was so friendly and welcoming! We will definitely be coming back again.

   If friends invited us to go, we’d join them. However, this restaurant won’t be in our top 10 choices in this area. Since we were there for dinner on a December Monday night, it was very quiet… in this large restaurant, we were 1 of 2 couples in the whole place. Whereas, it’s a perfect setting for lots of activity. Maybe we’ll return on a Friday or Saturday night in the spring or summer to give it another chance.

   Attractive restaurant at the Cherokee Valley golf course. Very nice views and the food was surprisingly good at brunch. Chicken and waffles were good but the smoked butt shredded over tater tots with cowboy candy was delicious. Really solid service from Brianna too.

   I always hate to provide a bad review, unsure if it was an off night or poorly sourced food but every plate was either unexceptional or actually cooked so poorly we ate only half of it. We hate to waste food so… we did eat some of it. The salmon was undercooked, closer to mid-rare despite asking for medium well, came back over done and dry, not eaten, it took 20 mins to bring it back, mgmt did not check on the recook. The seabass was overcooked, tough even (I’d say likely frozen) same with the calamari. The ribeye wasn’t tender and the filet was rare (we even took into consideration the salt brick design to warm it up but it was very rare - we are mid-rare steak folks). One highlight was the bacon wrapped scallops. Wine was fine, service was good. But not a restaurant we will revisit for a quality meal, which is unfortunate due to the lack of high end restaurants in the area.

   Great anniversary dinner. Play golf there often and have enjoyed the lunch’s but never been there for dinner. We enjoyed a couple of well made cocktails while waiting on our “Chef’s Board”. Had the ribeye and crab legs, both were amazing! Mushrooms, risotto, veggies and the bacon wrapped scallops drove the whole dinner home! Will definitely be booking later tee times so we can dine again.

   It was not busy when we went at 5:00 on a Tuesday, so the noise level was very low. The ambiance was very relaxed and sophisticated. The drinks were good, and they have an excellent wine selection. We ordered 2 steaks cooked rare, but my wife’s came out medium - medium well. Furthermore, our waitress was rather negligent.

   We’ve dined here several times but this was our first poor experience. Our server disappeared for about 15-20 minutes after taking our drink and appetizer order so food orders were put in very late. One of our appetizers was wrong but we were hungry and didn’t say anything. When the wine arrived, for the first time we were given a bottle that had the cork pulled and stuffed in upside down. Just placed on the table with the glasses at the corner of the table and walked off. We all ordered steaks yet only one was cooked to order. Three were sorely undercooked with two being cool and “blue”, translated, they were raw. They had placed a “500° salt block” on the table so if the steak was slightly undercooked it could be perfected. We’ve also had this and the last time it was quite nice. It was warm but certainly not 500° as steak didn’t sizzle as in the past. Putting your hand near it also wasn’t fear-inducing so I touched it with my finger for a couple seconds. Yes, that happened and my finger wasn’t red or otherwise injured so it was probably closer to 250-300°. Things got corrected but with the prices being charged, this kind of experience shouldn’t happen. I’m not writing off Core 450 but they need to remember that the upstate is a haven for foodies and a lot of farm-to-table restaurants. They shouldn’t become complacent.
