Sarah’s Red River Gorge Guidebook
Food scene
This is the best restaurant in the Gorge and one of the only ones with table service. Dario Ventura and staff use quality ingredients and make good food. Also great cocktails! Its not cheap, but the food is worth the money. They sometimes have live music. The location is remote... you will really wonder if there is actually a restaurant at the end of this dirt road. But I assure you, there is! And its worth the drive. Check hours though. They are only open weekends primarily. Thursday thru Sunday at the moment, but hours change.
