Gamekeeper Restaurant

My husband made reservations for our anniversary. We were greeted by name and seated at a beautifully decorated table. The service and food were all amazing. I ordered the duck and my husband got the emu. It is expensive, but we will be back next time we are in the Boone/Blowing Rock area. It's worth the splurge.

By far our favorite spot in the high country. While not the easiest spot to get into, it is well worth the drive and twists to get there. Valet parking eases the trip a bit too. But don't let the "Game" in the name scare you. I have brought clients in from all over that are afraid of Elk, Bison or Rabbit. It is all farm raised, and perfectly prepared. If available, try the sampler platter. A little bit of everything and could be an entree. It all is a bit pricey, but nearly all the truly great places here are in that category. If possible get a reservation. It fills up quickly and pretty cozy so it is not that big.

Fantastic. Great food. Great staff. One of the best places I have ever eaten. Service could not have been any better.

We had such a great time at Gamekeeper. We arrived 30 minutes early and took advantage of the free valet. We had a drink at the bar and Sara was great.

We were seated In the dining room and met Morgan who was a fantastic server. We enjoyed the Potato soup as a shared app with bread we went with the Duck and the Emu. Both were delicious but the duck was definitely the highlight.

We also met the Maitre’d, Kappa who made our experience over the top. We told her we loved our dishes but wished we had room for the Elk. She actually brought us a few bites and it was amazing. We will be back to have that as a meal and revisit the duck.

Great food and excellent service. Can’t ask for more.

Best dining experience I've had in awhile. Exceptional food, abundant portions, above and beyond my expectations. Excellent quality and quantity for the price; well worth it. Very knowledgeable staff, personable and professional. Personally I like the classy casual dress, feels welcoming. Highly recommend, we will be back.
