Canyon Kitchen - Lonesome Valley

An Elevated Dining Experience at the Heart of Lonesome Valley

Canyon Kitchen offers an elevated dining experience rooted in local, seasonal ingredients and refined Appalachian cuisine. Set within the elegant Jennings Barn, the restaurant opens to sweeping views of the kitchen gardens, lush meadow, and dramatic thousand-foot granite box canyon. Located within the Lonesome Valley Residential Community yet open to the public, Canyon Kitchen is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful restaurant settings in the southeast. Reservations are required for both our Dining Room and Bar Pavilion to ensure an exceptional and enjoyable guest experience.

Exceptional Dining Experience

Under the direction of Executive Chef Ed Selle, our kitchen celebrates refined Appalachian cuisine elevated through thoughtful technique and inspired creativity. Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients inspire a menu of artfully prepared small plates, elegant entrées, and decadent desserts. As the scenery shifts with the seasons, signature cocktails echo those changes, offering a dining experience that is as visually stunning as it is exquisitely crafted- where exceptional food and natural beauty exist in perfect harmony.
