This past weekend we went to downtown Staunton to have lunch and enjoy the beautiful weather with…read morethe outside seating that is now available with Beverley Street blocked off to traffic for the summer. We decided on the Green Room because we had not been there in a long time. We were very happy with the menu selections of appetizers, sandwiches and salads. They have an impressive wine and beer selection, sodas and water too. Their outside setup is very nice with tents for shade, comfortable plastic chairs with cup holders and fake grass a little ambience. The service was a little slow at first but then were very attentive and helpful. The inside is immaculate and the bathroom was very clean (always a plus and positive sign). We got the chips and onion dip to start which were yummy! Then we got a Turkey sandwich and a club sandwich. Both were delicious and stuffed full, we could only eat half. We got a coke and a Veil Brewing Co. IPA to drink. The Veil is one of the best brewing companies on the East Coast and not easy to find outside of Richmond, VA. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch experience here!! Great job!!

And then, not only do they have beers, but also high quality sodas, like San Pellegrino. What's not to like?

I had The Godfather 10" gourmet pizza. This pie had a tasty tomato sauce base on a worthy crust, topped with pepperoni, Italian sausage, grilled chicken, mushrooms, and tomato pieces. I was pleasantly surprised how the chicken became a part of the toppings flavor profile. I enjoyed the balance of supportive crust, tomatoes and mozzarella with a satisfying meat combination in the cheese. I like the warm atmosphere, friendly staff and good food.

I loved this place so much that I took my family there on Father's Day! Yep! I ordered the same thing and everyone else switched it up!!! I was wow'd again! I'm tellin' ya, go here...you will not regret it!! The only thing that I did not care for is how the beverages were handled. Water came from a jug on a cart outside the restaurant . No ice out there and no offer of ice. Condiments were also outside. Now! Maybe that's how they roll if you dine outside, but I didn't like it. (Not to the point that I'd ding them for it, just putting out a mentionable) Anyway!! This food is so good, it's really worth it, and the prices are just right!!! See ya there!!!!!!!!

Went for dinner with a friend, our reserved table wasn't quite ready and we sat at the bar and were…read morelargely ignored for 5-7 minutes. Finally, our drinks were taken by the bar tender and before we could get them we were seated. The drinks were never put in or she just flat ignored us. (We both saw her write the order down.) Our server finally had to re order them, we had now been there 22 minutes with no cocktails. Absurd. Anyway, our server Jerrod was great but everything else was subpar. I've made better scallops in my sleep and the presentation was an absolute train wreck, looked like it had been thrown on the floor and then scooped back up. The charcuterie plate was decent and the locally sourced cheeses were great, especially that Brie. But this place is overrated, at best. I can't recommend it for the price. Pretentious, overpriced and quite boring, not to mention unprofessional.

I planned an afternoon and overnight stop in historic Staunton, Virginia on my way to vacation in…read morePA. There are so many options in this lovely town but I made a reservation at Zynodoa because I have been on a farm-to-table kick lately. The servers and hosts were all lovely, interacting with both the guests and each other professionally and amicably. My server Sarah gave me as much attention as anyone else, even though I was the only person dining alone. I ordered the tomato and burrata appetizer. I am not a big raw tomato eater but I knew if these were truly farm-to-table, they would taste good, and they did. The flavor felt like a combination of sunshine and a warm hug! The cheese tasted like a sweet kiss. The portion was substantial, and there was balsamic reduction and a generous amount of coarse pesto. I ate the whole thing! For the main course I ordered the flat iron steak. Because I was traveling and didn't want leftovers, I asked the server for a smaller portion than listed, but either I wasn't clear or it wasn't an option--It's okay, though. I ordered the steak medium rare but it was a shade above rare; again, okay. Sides were good but I added salt. The meal was a bit pricey but probably fair given that it was sourced locally. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the chef is heavy handed on the sauces, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. Oh, I ordered the pinot noir and it was good, smooth, balanced. Overall impression of Zynodoa was it felt like visiting the home of a friend with a garden who loves to cook and share with her friends. The portions were generous and the seasoning was substantial. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Staunton.

Overall, this was a solid dinner and a place I would recommend when visiting Staunton. I would definitely eat here again.

I ordered chicken breast with artichokes, olives and mushrooms with a white wine sauce. My husband's dinner looked excellent, cooked the way he ordered it. However, it was cold, like it was just taken out of the refrigerator. The baked potato was hard. He mentioned it to the waitress and she spoke to the manager and they replaced it for him. My meal was ok but the 1/4 cup of rice was dry and hard and cold. I did not say anything. My chicken had way too much feta cheese on it and the sauce tasted oily.

Cool location though, it was an old train station turned into restaurant and bar. Only thing is I feel like the lighting was a bit too bright for the speakeasy vibes it was giving off.

(they also had the added pleasure of order glass of sparkling wine that was apparently completely flat) Really can't begin to comprehend what's up with this place given the generally rave reviews over on Google.

The space is pretty basic and slightly chilly but wasn't very busy so it was easy to hold a conversation. There were a couple of disappointments: duck/sweet potato "kugel" would have benefitted from a bit more contrast. It was rather mushy in texture and needed something to cut through the general sweetness. The lychee 75 cocktail was overly sweet but, upon request, the addition of some club soda helped somewhat. While the pre-dining questions brought up our alpha gal concern and the fact that we were celebrating a birthday, our server didn't seem to understand the restriction (brought soup with "bacon that hadn't been braised in milk") and no birthday wishes were expressed. Honestly, that's not a big deal - we can manage our own dietary restrictions and celebrations - but why bother asking? Course timing was a bit off, but we weren't in any hurry. Water refills were slow. Overall, we do intend to return for the dinner service, so it's a definite thumbs up.
