Chalet Restaurant & Switzerland Inn

I've eaten here twice, for lunch only. The food is always delicious with a good presentation. Portion sizes are fairly large, so you get a good bang for your buck. There's an outdoor seating area with an absolutely killer view. The service is friendly and the staff is knowledgeable. Be sure you sit in the covered outside area. The Chalet is around 4500 feet above sea level so the temps are pretty cool, even in the heat of summer

Swizterland Inn is an amazing place to stay and to dine. We have been visiting the Blue Ridge Parkway and staying at Switzerland Inn for years. It gets better every time we go. They have recently updated the rooms and added outdoor dining. The views from our room and the restaurant are amazing. We cannot wait until next year.

As we were up i the mountains anyway, we wanted to give it a look.  I am a German native and we were told it was a little piece of home. Not only did they not serve anything even vaguely European, (aside from the prerequisite sausages that everyone thinks we eat on a daily basis) the food was a farce..the chef was trying to pretend that he understood the concept of fine dining and failed so miserably it was almost hilarious,  The frog legs were rubbery and underseasoned unless you count the addition of cayenne.  The shrimp were also cold and overcooked.  The risotto was dry and the lobster bisque was basically a bit of lobster drowned in so much cream that the idea of flavour flew out the window.  They were hosting a huge wedding at the time so the fact that it took us a hour and a half to get through dinner was understandable, but the wait was so not worth it.  As I understand it, the menu changed from Swiss food some time ago and the change is not good..at all.
