Riverdance
Perched on a mountain bluff 2,000 feet above the water, Riverdance Restaurant is a 13,000-square-foot, 700-seat flagship culinary and event venue serving as the centerpiece for the River Gorge Ranch development in Guild, Tennessee. The interior architecture masterfully blends a rustic mountain lodge aesthetic with polished modern design, utilizing floor-to-ceiling windows to frame dramatic, panoramic views of the Tennessee River Gorge. Upon entering, guests are greeted by "The Dance," a striking, 180-foot illuminated entryway floor installation made from 15 tons of local stone and backlit with custom LED lights to trace 43 miles of the Tennessee River. The refined interior layout features stone fireplaces and pillars harvested directly from the mountain, a grand bar anchored by a massive canoe suspended from the ceiling, a six-tank glass-walled microbrewery, and an exclusive private dining space.
