Well not actual dinner because the food menu is limited. But we did get a lovely charcuterie board! The drinks were flowing and the service was friendly.

It's next to a small playground and new amphitheater, so I'm sure this place gets quite busy on weekends. We all enjoyed our lunches; just unfortunate that it took well over a half hour to receive them. Since we were traveling home to OH, we weren't too keen for a laid back lunch.

So there were a few good things and a few things that to be improved…read more Pros - It's in a great location. Terrific ambiance. We got seated much more quickly than we thought. One person in our party said her salad had the best dressing she's ever had. The fried pickles were good. The shrimp was good. One bartender was good. Cons - We walked in and basically weren't sure what to do. There was a woman at we thought was a hostess stand, but she never said anything to us. We finally asked if we needed to check in with her to get seated. We did. But it was kind of weird. One bartender was awful. Never made eye contact. Wouldn't take any orders. Acted like she wanted to be anywhere else. I thought the Caesar salad was ok. It came with lacquered salmon. I would have loved the salmon, but not lacquered. It couldn't be made to order. Ok fine. I ordered it the way it was described. There was nothing lacquered about that salmon. It also was shredded on top of the salad and was maybe two ounces. That's ridiculous. Our server wasn't very helpful and not very attentive. I'm sure many people have had great experiences there, but I'm not sure I would take the time to go back.

I just moved to Lynchburg a month ago and experienced dining downtown last night (for the first…read moretime) and it really made me question if I will ever go downtown again to eat out. I have several issues but will start with the first one that really bothers me: 1. As I approached the restaurant I noticed this homeless man walking around the block with a walker. I was in Dish from 5 - 6:30 and this homeless man came in THREE times to go into the bathroom (he was not a customer). This was not only a huge turn off but IMO a sanitary issue of him going into the bathroom doing who knows what. I saw the expression on the waitress face like she did not know what to do. Was there a manager working? Is this how it is at every restaurant in town that they allow homeless people in to use the bathroom? Are there homeless shelters for people in town to provide care and feeding for them? 2. I ordered a glass of wine on the Happy Hour menu and it was weak, like water was added to it. 3. I ordered the Smoke Salmon encrusted in Puff Pastry and the puff pastry was not cooked all the way (it was clearly visible that it was not a golden brown but rather a pale yellow. I just hope my future experiences in this lovely town on much better than I experienced last night. And one more thing, I have stomach issues today, and all I can think of is the cooks using that bathroom where this homeless guys went in 3 times in 90 minutes. I question how this is not Board of Health Violation.

Must say the instruments over powered the head singer. Could not hear her singing. Brought food from outside business which were sliders, salad, and a bag of Doritos.

I mainly selected IPAs and also a peach wheat and a session. All were different and packed with flavor. My fav was the ramble on (ipa). It was absolutely amazing!!! I really regret not grabbing a 6 pack to go. The service I received was professional & personable. Hunter even gave me some restaurant recommendations. Very nice and knowledgeable guy! This brewery is a nice size with nice decor. There's bar seating , table top seating and patio seating. Very relaxed open setting. This was a great first visit. I look forward to coming back again the next time I'm in town!

All the toppings went great together and meat was cooked well (only wish it had been more smashed, was a little thick). Seriously one of the best burgers I've had in a while. - Smashburger (4.5/5) just wished the patty was more smashed. But still good. - Build your own (4.5/5) just wished the patty was more smashed. But still good. - fries and onion rings (4.5/5) these were both very good. - kids grilled cheese (our only complaint was that they didn't have a fruit bowl option) - Downeast cider (5/5) Service was great. Just took a little longer for our food to come out than anticipated (especially with a 19 month old also at the table). But waitress and manager were great and came over to check on us often due to the wait.

There was to fit your needs rather you want something quick or heavy. They had a large beer selection along with good whiskey.

We revisited for our breakfast meal and it was so worth getting up at 6:00 am. The view is spectacular. My omelet was made to order so I called it a corrupted veggie and my spouse two eggs, sausage and a muffin. The coffee was very fresh as was the sunshine even while outside was 20 degrees we were warm and toasty. Tyler was a delight, pleasant and full of smiles. She made our morning as much as the sunshine outside.

And had no leftovers.) The board was expertly crafted and the flavors paired well with the wines. We were so full we didn't need dinner. The outside has more tables than the small inside....
