Food Scene
The chicken picatta is my favorite. It comes with a salad and two sides. Sometimes I trade my salad for another side. This is the go to place for locals on the north side of town. They have a drink special every night of the week. We enjoy 1/2 price bottle of wine night on Wednesdays.

The hike from the parking lot to the top of Mount Pisgah is not long but it is totally worth view. I highly recommend the Pisgah Inn for a meal. Your goal should be to score at table next to the windows.
