I have been to many restaurants that I've enjoyed but this one stands in a class by itself…read more Starting from its sofisticated yet relaxed ambiance, to its exquisite food prepared by knowledgeable cooks, to its extraordinary customer service by friendly servers. One always has a delightful dining experience here. Today, I decided to dine there on the way to going to watch the Actic Productions musical of Into The Woods which was being performed at the D. Geraldine Lawson Performing Arts Center in Fincastle, Virginia. I arrived soon after they had opened at four in the late afternoon. A friendly young lady greeted me at the Host's station right at the entrance of the restaurant and after asking me where would I prefer to seat, took me to the table of my choice. Studying the menu it was not easy to choose what to get from the great variety of dishes. But by the time my sever Kaylee arrived with a big smile and welcoming attitude I had made my decision. I would start off with a Mojito Mocktail to drink. As appetizer I ordered their Coconut Shrimp, followed by a House side salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing. And as my main entrée, their 8oz Filet cooked medium-rare. I asked the server for the items to be spaced out and to have the salad before the main entrée. The Mojito Mocktail tasted wonderful. As I was enjoying it a young gentleman server assistant brought me the Coconut Shrimps and they looked amazing. They were enormous in size, very crispy on the outside and fresh and moist in the inside. One of the best that I have ever had. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the high-quality of their food. Then came the salad which also looked and tasted wonderful. Almost right after bringing me the salad, they brought me the main entrée of the Filet cooked to perfection with a loaded Baked Potato. I don't like when this happens, but the food was so good that I patiently ate it and then asked to speak to the manager. There was no manager on site but the person in charge of the kitchen came to see me and I explained the concept of timing to him as a constructive criticism, letting him know that everything was so exquisite that I was not upset, just wanted him to know so that in the future when this is corrected both the other customers and I could have a more pleasant dining experience and enjoy our food better. For dessert I had their Strawberry Shortcake and it was amazingly delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream in the middle. This was the Grand Finale of an excellent meal. The incident of the timing, suddenly didn't seem to matter that much because they took my feedback gracefully and I was able to teach them a lesson in fine dining. In conclusion I continue to highly recommend this restaurant and am looking forward to returning to try one of their other amazing items from their menu.

What could they improve? How about everything?…read more If you are in Lexington, your dinner options are somewhat limited. 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. Overall, you could do worse, but around Lexington, this is a safe option that gets a solid C-

As a guest, you have a dedicated parking spot which is nice as this inn is located on Main street and you can walk to many restaurants, bars, and shops. Our room was quite nice. The only draw back is that this place is right on Main street across from a few W&L frats...so on this Saturday night you could hear noise from the street into the room... but not really bad. I would like to go back here and eat dinner in the restaurant at some point. My only negative- the bar in the hotel has beer on draft. However, apparently, it was a wine draft previously and no adjustments were made on carbonation. The beer foamed so badly that it was flat by the time the glass was full. This was true on the two different beers we tried. We switched to wine.. which was fine. In my opinion, they need to stop selling that beer until that is resolved.

We were asked if we had a reservation even though the entire restaurant was empty... um what? They said they could "fit us in." Ok... . We sat down in a very run down dining room and almost left when we saw the menu. Short ribs with rice? Some odd choices on there. I settled with the shrimp and grits. How bad could it be? Their beer bread is actually pretty tasty - it's kinda sweet and soft with a crunchy crust. But, our entrees were quite unappetizing and not good. My shrimp were pale and covered in a weird cream sauce with mushrooms and tomatoes. The grits were stiff with hardly any flavor. I had some shrimp shells on my plate too. My husband's Gumbo was just as sad. It looked like cafeteria food. His okra was soggy and flavorless and the rice was so over cooked. 4 stars??? Absolutely not!!! The only redeeming factor was the good service and friendly staff.

WOW! The hype is real!…read more Manager fit us in when our res did not show up! I mean it was packed and she made it happen. Literally why I am writing this review!

They were not sweet at all so do not match well with the clams. The fried oysters Po' Boy has a generous portion of oyster and fries. The dipping sauce was really good with the fries. Only miss is the pickle onions is really sour. To end the night, we had the key lime pie. It is a good ending to the night. Interestingly, I had sour tasting in all my food.
