DINE
Field, forest, fish, fowl, and farm are the tenets around which our chef builds his regionally-influenced menu, relying on seasonal ingredients from Blue Ridge farmers and growers to stock the kitchen’s pantry. See below for our hours of operation. The bar is first-come-first-serve.

DRINK
Plan on beginning and ending your day at The Ruffed Grouse. Start with a Methodical Coffee espresso and house-made pastries in the morning, and after a full day of activity, wind down with a nightcap in the main dining room and lounge, where a wood-burning fire crackles and pops in the background. A well-edited wine list focused on biodynamic, organic wines from small, family-run vineyards, a rotating selection of regional beers, and classic cocktails (Try the Saturn Return) round out The Ruffed Grouse’s robust beverage program.
