Reviews for Wild Thyme Gourmet in Highlands, NC

Easy to find the place. We were able to find a good parking spot nearby despite the hectic dinner rush. Restaurant has a nice... ambience. Our server was attentive and our food arrived at a timely manner. We got lump crab in fillo purses, hubby got baconwrapped quail and I had shrimp and tasso linguine. Portion sizes were decent (I personally dislike restaurants who overfillplates). We thought the prices were a little steep hence the 4 out of 5. Read more

Excellent food, good service, pleasant atmosphere, not tourist friendly. In October 2021, not knowing much about the Wild... Thyme, we went for dinner on a Monday when most restaurants in the area were closed. When my girlfriend called to ask a fewquestions about the restaurant's location and parking, the lady on the phone was a little short with her and did not answer herquestion. Therefore, I would not consider this restaurant tourist friendly. However, we found the restaurant and were notdisappointed in the experience. The Maple Brie appetizer was particularly good, as was my girlfriend's Shrimp and Scallopentree. The goat cheese, cranberry and walnut salad was also particularly good. The pan seared WNC Mountain Trout was the besttrout dish I have had. I loved it! The chef did an excellent low-carb version by subbing spinach and asparagus for the polenta. A friend had the Portobello Mushroom Napoleon which she thought was well prepared, but too soupy for her taste. The portionswere appropriate. Our server, Dolledon, was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I thought the prices were fair. Most menuentree items were between $25 and $35 with a few more expensive. They offered indoor and outdoor seating. I would return. Wereturned in July 2022. The food was as good as we remember from last October. We found the hostess and the staff to be veryfriendly, efficient, and accommodating. I had Bacon Wrapped Quail, and my girlfriend had the Veal Chop entree (The special thatday), We enjoyed our entrees. My girlfriend had coconut cake for dessert, which she described as the best she has had. Read more

Very busy, but we were able to sit inside quickly. Service was good (though ordinary), and food was very tasty. I got the... open-faced goat cheese sandwich and enjoyed every bite! Read more

Absolutely one of the best dining experiences I?ve had. This was Tom?s bday dinner so we had high expectations. The courtyard... dinning area was great for allowing Bogie, our Westie to join the celebration. Ethan our server was very attentive andknowledgeable. He suggested the Portobello Mushroom Napoleon, layered mushrooms in a fluffy pastry and a sherry tomato creamsauce was delicious and highly recommended for a vegetarian option. Tom for his bday entree ordered the Shrimp and Sea Scallops.Poached in a lemon dill caper cream sauce with snow peas. Again a great dish. Tom also enjoyed the Lump Crab Fillo Purses. Weselected the Patz & Hall Dutton Ranch Chardonnay an excellent wine. The only negative comment or experience of the evening camefrom the General Manager when asked if they had a specific aperitif he snapped back a no and offered no options or a menu. Ourwaiter apologized and came back with the menu. When in the Highlands NC area this restaurant should be on your to do list. Likebelow if this was helpful. Read more

2nd time in this cute town and the 1st time the restaurant was closed. Tried a couple of items and I loved the grilled veggie... sandwich. The sweet potato chips were okay. The open faced sandwich was disappointing as we thought it would come warm. Thecrab cake was okay as well. I would to give a better rating but the server didn?t help. Read more

We've been here twice and both times the food was delicious and the service a step above. This last time we had John as a server... and it was refreshing to have a professional, courteous and skilled server. We both had the special which was an avocadochicken wrap with a side of some kind of wild rice and mushroom salad. I could have just had a bowl of that for lunch, it wasgood. We will definitely be back several times! Read more

This was the best place to eat! Their kitchen was delicious from beginning to end, and Bo service was the best! He served us... timely and always with a smile. Totally wheelchair accesible, they have indoor and outdoor sitting. Would recommend cookies! Butto be honest, everything was delicious! Read more
