Auld Alliance — Restaurant in LaFayette

My husband and I along with another couple had dinner last night to celebrate both of our anniversaries. We ate at the Auld Alliance restaurant inside the hotel. We are local residents in Walker County and this was our first visit to the hotel. The food was excellent and the prices were consistent with other high end restaurants that we have eaten in the past. The service was excellent, our server was Cassie and she was very knowledgeable of the food and drinks that they offered. The ambiance was simply AMAZING, breathtaking views in every direction!!! The only drawback was the parking. There was no option to self park (only valet) and it is over priced at $43.00 excluding tip! People from Atlanta and other big cities may be used to paying a high price for valet, but the locals are not. I’m just afraid this may hurt their local traffic...

This was an awesome dinner. It's located on Lookout mountain within the beautiful McLemore resort and it’s definitely worth a shoutout! The vibe was perfect—cozy yet upscale, with killer views that made the evening feel special. Our server, Loki, was absolutely on point, super attentive, and made us feel right at home with his friendly banter and spot-on recommendations. The real treat was when the chef came out to introduce himself at our table—such a cool, personal touch! The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and the sides were just as good.

Honestly, everything from the food to the service was top-notch. If you’re looking for a great meal with a view, this place is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!

Came down from Nashville for my birthday and golf. The restaurant is beautiful, tastefully decorated and the views cannot be beat.

Our dinner began well with excellent service and a delicious cobia appetizer that was a featured item.

We order our main courses and that is where unfortunately things went wrong. The times between courses was ridiculously long as we waited almost 45 minutes for our main courses.

My 10 ounce Filet was cooked perfectly but was served covered in a demiglace that for me ruined a decent cut of meat. My wife enjoyed her whole Red Snapper and had no complaints. For dessert we ordered the Creme Bruille and it was fine.

Overall, the experience was underwhelming for the beauty of...
