Smeraldi's Restaurant Description:
With the opulent Bernard's now long-shuttered except for private events, Smeraldi's assumes the lead role in the Biltmore's dining scheme. One enters the restaurant from the hotel's grand Rendezvous Court into an attractive, barrel-ceilinged room, while a larger space, sunken a half-flight, features hand-carved ceilings and Mediterranean murals. Service is efficient and friendly, but you are keenly aware you are in a hotel dining room. The Mediterranean-inspired menu features rosy-hued beef carpaccio topped with a mound of tabbouleh salad and shaved manchego cheese, while lobster ravioli is bathed in saffron sauce. These dishes, as well as gemelli pasta with pesto and Tuscan tomato soup, exhibit bold flavors as well as colors. Steaks, rack of lamb and seafood are pricy but ably prepared, and desserts range from chocolate bread pudding to Key lime tart.
