If you have ever been to Downtown Gatlinburg then you have probably noticed the Park Grill Steakhouse nestled beside the Nantahala Outdoor Center on the left of the Parkway, just before you enter The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Did you notice the indigenous landscaping and majestic mountain lodge charm?
Restaurateur and owner, Geoffrey Wolpert designed the Park Grill to be reminiscent of a national park lodge. To do that he went to great lengths! All of the landscaping is done with plant species indigenous to the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.
One thing that many notice as they walk into the foyer is the enormous timbers used to build the restaurant, elegantly crisscrossing overhead in grand style. Being the environmentally conscious person that Mr. Wolpert is, these timbers were not the result of cutting live trees and harvesting them from a precious forest. In fact, the superstructure is constructed of handpicked dead standing trees that would otherwise have been a forest hazard had they not been removed.
These are just a couple of interesting facts about the Park Grill Steakhouse. To read more about our history, click here.
