$100 dinner spot for wife's birthday?

Anyone care to recommend a spot near North Carolina that would be good to
fly the wife to dinner for her birthday?

Looking for something half way fancy that would be good to have a limo pick
us up at the airport and take us to a nice dinner place and then limo back
to the airport afterwards.

tks.

Biltmore House, Asheville

Never been there, but it's on my list

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

It is a great place to go, but the Biltmore does not have a fine dining
establishment on premises.

If you go to the Biltmore, best to go at Christmas time; They really
decorate it up. Take the self guided tour, and plan to spend at least three
hours. It is amazing. A whole day is not out of the question, if you tour
the winery, ect.

To the OP:

The Grove Park Inn is a great place, and also great to stay overnight.. Try
looking that up.

The coast is always an option. Try the North Myrtle Beach airport, and you
have an option of many fine restaurants. I'm sure there are limo companies
around there that could help you out.

Sunday brunch at Jekyll island (Georgia) is great! It is one of the best
Sunday brunches in the Southeast and is accessible from the airport!

The Greenbrier

My folks have been there for conventions in the 70's and 80's. My gal's
sister was married there in 1993 - which necessitated my gal wearing a mist
green bridesmaid dress - with a humongous bow on the back of it! (Hehehe).
All raved about being at The Greenbrier. They said it was several cuts above
EVERYTHING else.

The Greenbrier - it's "near" NC.

I would second the Greenbbrier,
Been there a few times. First class all the way....
"no" has been trained out of them.

Fly into New Bern (KEWN) and eat at the Harvey Mansion. There is a near
by Sheraton or you could get a room at the Mansion. The meal expense
will leave some dollars in your pocket but is very good food. There is
limo service in the city and the ride from the airport would be only
5-10 minutes.


I would also second the Asheville area. There are some excellent places
to eat downtown. The airport is a 12 mile ride to the downtown area or
if you really like to spend some money the Grove Park Inn has a spa and
all the things ladies like.

Big State. If the wife caught the dinner limit at a Franklin, I'd be
pounding my rudder for a long time! I've got a place along the coast,
short flight time.
