I also enjoyed the Blackberry Refresher which lived up to its name. Club soda mixed with the house's blackberry syrup creates a crisp, bubbly drink. Ingredients are sourced locally from Big Spring Cattle Company, Blue Ridge Bees, Maplewood Valley Ranch, Razzbourne Farms and Verdant Acres. The setting is eclectic with friendly counter service with adequate seating and a large piano. The space is shared with what appears to be an upscale dinner restaurant. Seasons Yield operates in mornings and closes at 2.

The name hints at this, but I still had to figure out that there is a sit-down restaurant that is…read moreopen for dinner, and this bakery-cafe operation takes over the same space for brunch. In addition to baked goods, I was pleased that they offered the option for a breakfast salad. Way to start the day off right. My salad was quite substantial, with nuts, cheese, and sweet potatoes. But I couldn't get out without ordering a pastry as well. They had the sort of maple glaze one usually finds on donuts, but applied it to a croissant. The croissant flaked well, but the maple flavor really took it to the next level. Plenty of other intriguing baked goods were available.

A soup and sandwich joint with lots of baked goods -- that's Blue Sky…read more It was a cold and drizzly day when I visited, and a bowl of butternut squash soup was the perfect thing. I also got The Yardbird sandwich after the server recommended it. It's basically just chicken salad and lettuce between a ciabatta roll, but it was simple and great. And what the heck: I can't visit a bakery that has multiple sweets without getting one. I also listened to the advice of the server when she recommended the orange scone. She was right again! It was tender and tasted like a Froot Loop. Blue Sky is located on the corner of a busy street. There are lots of tables, but if you can, sit at the bar that looks out onto the street to see the hustling and bustling college town.

Unplanned but fortunate lunch stop on a road trip from NoVA to NOLA. If you're traveling I-81, it's…read morejust 5 or so miles down Rt. 11, which snakes back and forth across '81, so it's not really a "detour". It's in Lexington, home of VMI, and the shop itself is diagonal from a post office built in 1911 with large columns lining its edifice. Sometimes, when college students leave great reviews, that means good food that isn't too expensive. True here, especially for what you get: generous servings on amazing bakery breads. I had the "Sorry Charlie" on a slice of focaccia -- topped with tomato slices and melted cheese and a satisfyingly crunchy, warm crust, with a simple but nicely refreshing black bean and corn salad. Dessert treats are also worth a splurge. The people couldn't be friendlier with customers of all ages enjoying themselves. (And they have a coffee bar. And a "speakeasy"!)

It's not really a restaurant, but more of a grab-and-go type of establishment. I loved my panini but it was pretty small for the price you pay. My wife had the watermelon mint smoothie which I did not like and she kinda liked. But, I especially loved their baked goods, most notably the pumpkin chocolate chip bread, which was stellar! The lady at the counter was quite nice too. Overall, I'd come back here again, just maybe not for a full meal.

Gina's is a cute place, and I would definitely get the calzone again. It was stuffed with two types…read moreof cheese, pepperoni and sauce, all in a soft pizza pocket. My calzone was huge, and half was more than enough for a satisfying dinner. My Caesar salad was a little less than spectacular -- the lettuce and croutons came undressed. The other salads that the people at my table got looked a little "also ran," if you know what I mean. For dessert, I got the lemon cake, which was nice and tart but sweet. From what I understand, Gina's is somewhat new, so I think they're still getting their bearings. They're located in an unassuming strip mall. The service was excellent, but the dining room in the restaurant itself has a sort of fast-food feel to it. Maybe some different decor would help.

I came here for an event and was hopeful this was going to be a different Ruby Tuesday experience. First, the food portions are on the small side. I got a steak which was tiny as was the baked potato. Unlike the majority of chain restaurants in this country, this chain continues to not give free anything - bread, rolls, chips, etc. The drinks were ok but light on the alcohol.

Just the other day as I was driving around doing some errands, and looking for a place to have an…read moreearly dinner, I discovered this fresh casual restaurant in the heart of Downtown Salem, in Salem, Virginia. At first, I was attracted by its white building front with light green awning and pink highlights around the building and its front door as well as around the restaurant's front sign. Its small patio in front with black iron outdoor dining furniture also attracted my attention. So I drove around looking for a place to park my pearl white Lexus, and I was lucky to find just across the street a few empty free 2 hour parking spaces. I parked in one of them and proceeded to walk to the restaurant. On one of its front windows it read: "Freshens - Fresh Food Kitchen." As I walked in, I immediately felt comfortable in this clean and bright environment with modern decor. The walls were brick walls painted white and decorated simple, with framed enlarged photographs of close-up of fruits & vegetables like tomatoes, corn, and strawberries, just to name a few. The floors were light color hardwood floors. Lit menus were located above, behind the counter, with items such as Smoothies, Grilled Flatbreads, Salads, Artisan Melts, Acai Bowls, and Rice Bowls. When I finally found the "Order Here" sign, located above an area of the counter, a friendly, young lady employee greeted me, and when I told her this was my first time there, she tried to find me a paper menu, but they had ran out. I ordered from the menu on the wall. To drink I ordered a Maui Mango Smoothie, that had mango, strawberries, and bananas. And to eat I ordered their a BBQ Bacon Chicken Grilled Flatbread. The Maui Mango Smoothie had just the right texture and tasted amazing.The mixture of its three fruits made it tast almost like guava, which is also one of my favorite tropical fruits. When my Grilled Flatbread was ready, they called me to pick it up. It tasted amazingly delicious! While I was eating, several other customers came by. Most of them had ordered already and just came to pick up their food "To Go." Others stayed and ate it there. The food and the smoothie were so fresh and healthy that I felt great after I finished them up. Oh, and for dessert I had a sliced of their Peanut Butter Pie and it was so soft and tasty, that made me want to return soon. After I returned home, I did my research and found out that this establishment was recognized as the 2026 leading Vegetarian Restaurant in Salem, Virginia. I highly recommend it and had wonderful healthy dining experience there.
