     We had such a wonderful experience at Sunset Terrace while celebrating our first anniversary. The views were absolutely beautiful, especially at sunset, and the entire evening felt so special. The staff was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. One of the servers even offered to take a photo of us at the perfect time as the sun was setting. When we returned to our table, they surprised us with champagne and a Happy Anniversary dessert, which was such a sweet touch. The food, atmosphere, and service made this one of the most memorable parts of our anniversary trip. We would definitely return.

    We were a party of seven and the service and food was excellent. Our server, Taylor was attentive without hovering. We all ordered different entrees and each dish was creative and delicious. We love the ambience of the Omni Grove Park Inn as well as the ambience at Edison. In both cases the views of the Blue Ridge Mountains are exceptional! I highly recommend both for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

    We had a phenomenal experience. We were celebrating our anniversary, which I had put in the reservation. This was acknowledged at the host stand and again by our server. Service was great. He did a great job of describing menu items and in guiding us toward our ultimate selections, both wine and food. There were times when we could tell he got busy, but he checked in with us at critical points (like when each round of food hit the table) and other members of the team maintained table cleanliness between steps of service so that our experience never suffered. Ultimately, we enjoyed everything very much and thank everyone at Luminosa for making our anniversary celebration a special day.
