Spring Beer Dinner
Last June I wrote about a visit to The Greystone Inn’s Lakeside Dining Room in Lake Toxaway. I noted how some strange alchemy of location and impeccable service and a marvelously rendered menu delivered what could only be described as a “transcendent experience.” Our table was clearly beguiled and my review labored to describe the essence of that evening. Well, …
