I'm new to Blue Ridge and tried out many restaurants/bars. And by FAR, this is the best place I've been. (Actually anywhere and I've been a lot of places around the country as well as Europe). I usually eat at the bar because the bartenders, Matt, Anthony & Kyle are awesome! They make all kinds of cocktails I've never heard of or tasted (and if you don't like it? They'll fix another to your liking) Food? Awesome! I'm a beef eater and had the filet Pittsburg style. Warm pink center, charcoaled outside. Not many restaurants have the heat to pull this off, but they do. The chef is from New York and knows his sea food! The manager Tosha and owner Patrick are awesome! Atmosphere, camaraderie are extraordinary. I could go on but I think you get the idea. . read more

I want to start off with a major compliment to our server, Eden. She was sweet, attentive and was everything you want in a high- end restaurant server. Kudos, Eden. Beyond her, sadly, ROE. Is just an extremely over priced restaurant. Our oysters were delicious, but at $3.25 each they should have included a couple of pearls. I ordered the Shellfish- Roll. It was Lobster tonight. It was over cooked, dry and way over seasoned. Good Lobster only needs butter guys! Keith ordered the whole Pompano. We knew it was a whole fish but didn't count on some of the internal organ juices being included. The top side of the fish was delicious- plate side was soaking in jerk and fish gut juices. Great location, great vibe- just way too expensive for what you get. read more

What happened ROE? We returned a year later and were looking forward to our meal. We were shocked by our experience. We dined at 7pm on a Wednesday and were the only guests in the room. That should have been our first sign but we brushed it off to a slow weekday. My espresso martini was the worst I have ever tasted. The chargrilled oysters were not as good as I remembered. I ordered the scallops with risotto and my husband ordered the steak dish. The risotto was chewy in some areas but edible... unlike my husband's potatoes. His meal was served with scorched black-- and I mean BLACK-- "roasted" potatoes. He couldn't eat them. The steak was okay but the glaze was bitter. The manager removed $5 from our check for the potatoes. This was too expensive of a meal for the food to be below average and considering the crowd was minimal, the chefs had time to prepare amazing dishes. This was not our previous experience and sadly I don't see us coming back the next time we're in Blue Ridge or recommending it to others. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while, was very good! We came in on a Friday night and there was no one else in the restaurant but us which was very surprising! We still had a great dinner with the lamp chop special and the scallops dinner. Two other couples came in for a table while we were sitting there, but the hostess was MIA so they left.

The food was a good overall. I had the chilean sea bass with a side of mashed potatoes and caramelized mushrooms. The mushrooms had a distinct taste that I didn't care for. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food. Especially the oysters! My cousin ordered a side of Mac n cheese.... I'm unsure of how they prepare it, but it too had a funny taste that almost made me spit it out. The ambiance is great and the service was too, nice and cozy. read more

Spotted this little gem as we were leaving lunch at another place we didn't care for... the outside ambiance immediately drew us in and we decided the come back into town for dinner here! So glad we did! *made a reservation online and only has 8:30 available but when we arrived at 8 we were told they had plenty of availability! So I'd just call next time. The service was amazing! Wine selection was perfect and the food was beyond expectations! Both of us were so happy with our meal we scooted closer to share ;) Highly recommend! Oh! Live singer inside but could hear it outside perfectly and what a treat! Great experience and made up for our bad lunch! Lol read more

We had a very odd experience at this place. ALL of our food came out overly salty, all four dishes. So they remade the dishes without ANY salt and it was so bland. We asked to talk to the chef (the owner) and he only tried defending himself, saying "I don't over salt my food" and "I think you all are salt sensitive". No one apologized. Not once. And the manager was talking to us like children. Very annoying. They knocked off 25% from the salty dishes and took one off. That's it. Very odd experience, but not surprised that the restaurant was basically empty. read more

Food was delicious. The candied bacon was fantastic! And the truffle deviled eggs - while not my style or preference - were absolutely delicious!! Service was great. Taylor waited on us and was very attentive and super friendly! We had reservations right when they opened and it was a very laid back atmosphere. And we tried one of every dessert!! Mousse was our least favorite. Lemon cheesecake was our hands down favorite! read more

Surprising gem in downtown BR! We stopped by on a Friday night and ate on the outside patio. Ordered - split between 2 - oysters (raw) and oysters (chargrilled) - truffle deviled eggs - butternut squash soup - duck confit - truffle Mac n cheese - carrot cake It's hard to have high expectations for oysters In landlocked mountain town, and I'll say they were great! Not in the way that you need to add a ton of hot sauce and horse radish but in a nice blue point & mignonette kind of way. Chargrilled oysters were delicious. There is bread service with a side of olives /olive oil Truffle deviled eggs were good. It felt a little like the truffle was added to oversell these at a bit higher value than they would earn. Soup was ok. We both agreed this was the least favorite. Not horrible, it was finished but a little much on (cumin maybe?) spiced flavor. Duck confit and truffle Mac n cheese were a great size for splitting between 2. Enough for a piece of duck and hearty portion of Mac n cheese each. The Mac n cheese was full of truffle goodness and felt worth it (vs the eggs). Very happy with this choice. I'd definitely be interested in checking this place out again & will recommend to others looking for a dinner in this price range. Service was great. Our server and the food runners were all super friendly and prompt. Thank you! read more

Let me preface this tale by saying that I am not blaming our server or any of the other (non-management) staff at Roe for what is clearly and extremely dysfunctional business. This degree of neglect and disaster can only be due to absolute incompetence and a thorough and deliberate lack of care from the top down. We decided to start with the smoked fish dip ($18). I am not sure what we received. The menu listed lemon and dill, none of which we could taste. And there certainly was no fish. It tasted like devilled ham. We were hungry and managed to eat half of it even if we did not really like it. We also did not complain. Sometimes you just get a dud dish. It happens. Surely an $82 (eighty-two dollars!!!!!) dish of clams, mussles, shrimp, lobster and all accompaniments would be enough to make up for this lackluster start. Let me say again: This dish was specifically billed to feed two people. On the menu, in clear black and white, it says "clams, mussles, shrimp and lobster" with potatoes and corn. It has a market price, which we asked for. We were informed that it was $82. Expensive. Yes, very expensive. But we figured, we *trusted*, that a restaurant charging so much for a dish would justify itself. There were seven mussles (over cooked) and six clams (over cooked), an ear of corn (unseasoned and microwaved), and maybe one whole potato cut up into spears that was bizarrely and simultaneously over and under cooked. All swimming pathetically in a broth so devoid of flavor it was frankly impressive. No lobster, no shrimp. 82 dollars. My husband and I both had a mussle and clam each. When our server came for a quality check, we told him what we thought of the dish, pointing out all the flaws that I enumerated above. Our server seemed unsurprised. We went on to state that we would not be looking to continue our experience with a replacement entree and would much rather have the entree comped and simply finish our wine (frankly, the only thing we enjoyed and was reasonably priced) and leave. Our server returns, finally, just when I thought that maybe I had slipped into the twilight zone. "Did the manager come speak to you?" "No," we reply. He looks crestfallen, but, again, unsurprised. "She is going to take half of the entree for you," he announces as if he is approaching the block. Cowardly behavior from a so-called 'manager'. To not only refuse to face a table with complaints, receive feedback and, crucially, apologize, but then come to a less-than-satisfactory decision about how to "resolve" said complaints (that, again, you did not bother to confirm for yourself)... that's all bad enough. But then to have your beleaguered server deliver the news? To hide behind your service staff? Absolutely despicable. Our server certainly did not deserve that and neither did we. "If she wants to take half off, she can come tell us that herself," we tell our server. We wait. "Okay, we took off that whole entree for you!" we hear an incongruously cheery voice burst through the front door. A woman comes and drops the book on the table as if nothing at all were amiss, as if she is offering us an all-expenses paid trip to Bermuda instead of, quite literally, the bare minimum in terms of amends for this frankly shameful evening. She scoops up the sad remnants of the so-called 'clam bake', and departs. No apology, no acknowledgement that the dish she now cradled in her hands was appalling, and certainly no desire to seek feedback or validation. We wait. "Thank you, *SO MUCH!*" Miss Manager's voice rings out into the night. She's almost shouting. The fake cheeriness applied in her tone grates on my already frayed nerves. She drops the bill between us, smiles so big and brightly it can only be sarcastic. "I hope YOU ENJOY!!" she pronounces loudly and falsely before turning tail and rushing back into the restaurant. I can only imagine to pat herself real hard on the back for handling such outlandishly entitled and unreasonable guests with such grace and aplomb. I understand that Roe is not a restaurant that necessarily needs return diners to thrive. Blue Ridge is mostly filled with bachelorette parties and city slickers up for the weekend, never to be seen again. I get it. But to be this openly hostile, to be this bald-fadedly dysfunctional, to charge the prices that they do for the pitiful excuses of dishes that they serve... it's just embarrassing. Do yourself a favor and skip Roe and go straight for the good stuff: a basket of good fried food and bad karaoke at The Blue Coyote. Thank goodness for self-aware basement dive bars. What would we do without you? read more

ROE Blue Ridge - Spanish Octopus - Wine Bars Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

Pretty high end seafood restaurant in downtown blue ridge. The staff was very friendly we were seated promptly and our waitress was very attentive. I noticed while dining that it seemed like all of the waitstaff was very friendly. The food was very good with the exception of the chargrilled oysters. At 15$ they are priced appropriately if the oysters would have been much bigger. We got 2 orders of them and both had some really pathetically small oysters on the plate. I'd say between the 2 orders we had maybe 3 or 4 decent oysters. The rest were so small it was ridiculous. The entrees on the other had were very good. The seas scallops were cooked perfectly and tasted very fresh. I know a lot people will think 44$ for a portion of sea scallops is high, but in my opinion it was appropriate for the portion and quality of the dish. The other entree we had was the pasta with clams. This dish was 32$ and was very tasty and also a pretty good size portion. The only complaint with the pasta dish was the final bit of sauce in the bottom of the bowl had a lot of grit in it almost like the clams hadn't been cleaned and purged enough. We got one side dish of Truffle Mac & cheese. It was very good but the price was a little high for the very small portion size. Most high end restaurants I've been to that have sides al a cart usually have pretty large portions that are shareable. Overall we had a very good experience at Roe. I've heard a lot of people complaining about their high prices but I think their food is priced appropriately with the exception of the grilled oysters(those were a rip off and the reason I only gave 4 stars) In my opinion it's maybe a little high end for Blue Ridge Georgia and I doubt a lot of locals will dine here very often unless it's a special occasion. Hopefully the tourists keep them busy because it is nice to have a really good seafood restaurant in town for special occasions. read more

We recently decided to try Roe to see if it might be an option for good seafood. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. We tried the lobster roll and the whole Pompano. The Lobster was overcooked and dry. The Pompano skin was cross-sliced, which is a common technique for whole fish. This technique can work wonderfully. But, when cooking this way with fish that is thin, like the Pompano we had, it requires care to avoid overcooking. Unfortunately, the fish was overcooked and dry. The kitchen was extremely slow. We even ended up cancelling a dessert order that took forever - ice cream, go figure. Our waitress was quite nice and tried her best. However, our experience was what we have experienced at many of the "better" restaurants in Blue Ridge - mediocre food at " Tourist" prices. read more

Maybe the worst experience ever. Hour to get oysters. 2 hours to get food. That said, food was elite. Poor folks were short handed.

We chose ROE as we were excited to have the variety of oysters. We were disappointed to find out they did not get their delivery of oysters. We ordered the smoked fish dip and octopus as our appetizers. They were very good and would recommend. Between the four of us, we ordered the crab cakes, scallops, linguini with clams and pampano. The crab cakes got sent back as they were more bread than crab and the tartar sauce was mostly mayonnaise. Not worth the price tag. The clams were good as well as the scallops. A solid choice. The pompano had the potential to be great, but it was over cooked. Instead of crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, it was fried crisp throughout. It reminded me of the turkey the Griswold's ate in Christmas Vacation. Despite the average food, we had a great experience with Kaitlyn as our server. She was a delight, very attentive and took great care of us. She definitely made the overall experience good. She was a gem. Overall, I would probably give them another try to see if they work out the kinks, but I expected more based on the menu and prices. read more

We did have a mix up with reservations so I recommend you call yo reconfirm especially for large parties as its a small place. The oysters are the best part, great selection perfect minuet!

Finally an OUTSTANDING restaurant downtown! Service, Ambiance & food quality all in 1 convenient location with outdoor seating if you like. party of 3 - Spanish Octopus & Chargrilled Oysters to start , both yummy - Swordfish, Lamb T bone & Rabbit Pappardelle Pasta for entree's all were well prepared & outstanding! Menu is priced as one would expect from a better restaurant, those that complain about cost or "no sides" have never been to a Ruth Chris or Morton's. Not the usual for BR as most appear to not care about return customers since most are tourists. Hope they keep this up & don't succumb to the tourist trap read more

Let me begin by apologizing for my long review, lol... BUT I am presently surprised. I have been to Blue Ridge several times. I know this was the new place in town. They took months to open, and I was really looking forward to it. I'm not in town all the time, as I only visit regularly but do not live here full time, I couldn't wait till they opened. That being said, we have to keep in mind that Blue Ridge is a mountain town, land locked and no oceans nearby. The owner goes out of his way to get fresh sea food flown in twice a week, and you can taste it. This is the kind of quality you want out of your seafood. Being from South FL, I know what fresh vs frozen seafood is like. And this place has fresh seafood!!!! Now, that you know that, you know that fresh is going to cost you a bit more. But so does organic! And let me tell you, being from Miami, fresh is not cheap and we are surrounded by ocean!!! So don't get your panties all in bunch!!!! If you like seafood and you are a foodie, then you will love this place. I started with a cocktail called, In The Weeds. It's Gin based and with dill flavor. It was very interesting, very original and I loved it. We ordered a bottle of Spy Valley, from New Zealand. It was nice, light, and crisp. It paired very well with everything we had ordered. Their oysters flown in fresh. Although the raw bar menu does not have a description of their oysters, lets just say that oysters are oysters... you either like it or you don't, and that's ok. The menu will tell you where they are from, and the server give you all the details, just ask!!! Let's move on.... We also had the Spanish Octopus. It was AMAZING!!!! I've had a lot of octopus dishes, I love them, and this one was amazing. I would definitely repeat this. Our main course was Scallops, and the Clams with Prawns. The scallops were so soft, and delicate, they were melt in your mouth. Scallops were served with a little parsnip puree, very well paired. At first glance you think it's a small dish, but let me tell you... once you start, you realize it is the perfect size serving. It is more food than you think. I had accompanied that with the caramelized wood mushrooms. I love mushrooms. They were well seasoned! Hands down, more food than I can handle. And I'm no skinny b**ch, so that says a lot! The clams and prawns were amazing. A bit on the spicy side, so if you can't do spicy, don't do this. If you happen to save some of that tasty bread, it is great for eating with this dish. Use the bread to soak up all that yummy sauce. Now, lets talk black truffle... if you know you know right!? Black truffle is not cheap, and it is not for everyone. If you like it, and you like mac-n-cheese, you must have the black truffle mac-n-cheese. It is amazing.... Nice and creamy, so cheesy. I've had dry baked mac-n-cheese in my time, this was not that! This is a go to must try. And just when it thought it couldn't get any better, we asked what they had for dessert... they have fresh baked chocolate chip cookies with (drum roll please) MILK!!!! I mean... really... I love milk with my cookies, so this couldn't be any better for me. Here I was at this nice seafood restaurant, and they had cookies with milk for dessert. They also have Ice Cream, Carrot Cake and Cheesecake. The Cheesecake was amazing! The Carrot Cake must have been too because they had run out of it, LOL. Our server was great, very pleasant, helpful and informative. He never rushed us and took our order at our pace. We sat and had a pleasant meal and really enjoyed our time here. Our server was Jameson, don't hesitate to ask for him! The ambiance was nice, they have indoor and outdoor seating. They have a bar area with music. Their main dining room had low music so that you can still hear your conversation. There are many great places in town to eat, this was hands down a great experience. I look forward to coming back here. read more

We had reservations for Christmas Eve dinner, but unfortunately, as we weren't sure of how crowded the area would be or how heavy the traffic, we arrived twenty minutes early, and were informed that we would have to come back at the exact time of our reservation. Even though there were clearly visible open tables. It was cold out, and everything other than other restaurants was closed, so there wasn't any chance of going in to warm up somewhere. We decided to walk around just to keep warm. When we arrived back at the restaurant, we were seated & our waitress took our drink orders. My husband doesn't drink alcoholic beverages, but with nothing other than two kinds of pop, which he also doesn't drink, he was limited to water. Our waitress, Caitlyn (unsure of the spelling), was a delight, and the only bright spot of this dining experience. Caitlyn advised us that the food was coming out a little slow, so it might be a 45 minute wait. After taking our orders, she returned 10 minutes later to let us know that what we had ordered was now depleted...the only dinner selection we had desired. So we paid for my beer & left to see if any other restaurant could accommodate us, which at that point, and on Christmas Eve, couldn't. What a disappointment! Had it not been for our waitress, I would have rated our experience as a complete zero. read more

We stopped by to have a cocktail at the outside bar and take advantage of the awesome weather. The hostess was so rude it turned us off and ruined our whole night. The bartender was super and made great drinks and was very friendly. But we left as we felt uncomfortable being around the hostess. I would never go back as we were treated with disrespect by the hostess and made us feel unwelcome. it's a shame cause the menu look great and my mouth is still watering thinking of ordering the seafood tower. read more

So over priced! the food was good but a fly was circling around our food. the drinks are very small and over priced. 2 people, 4 drinks and 2 meals over $200 just crazy. The oysters way to small and $4 a piece. I have met other couples who also said, that was a one time dining experience and they would never go back. I guess their MO is get as many new visitors in once and don't worry about repeats. Disappointed! read more

Went here on Feb 3rd for a celebration dinner with friends from out of town. It's embarrassing when you take people to a (high end) oyster restaurant... and they are completely out of oysters. Went to order caviar after that, and they were out of caviar as well. Our server was nice, but frazzled. We ordered two bottles of champagne... there were so many water glasses all over the table (because it's pre-set) had to ask for a champagne chiller (usually this is automatically brought to the table in other places) because there was zero room for our food... The food was great, but for our first time, and having brought friends... it wasn't the best experience. Try not to run out of oysters next time :( read more

Excellent service, appetizer grilled oysters were great Entree's Tuna & Scallops were great as well read more

Where do I start? Immediately our waitress was extremely impatient and acted like she hated us for showing up . They did not tell us at the hostess stand they were totally out of oysters (why we came), we found out after seating and ordering drinks. After that my husband got the lobster roll and fries (did not come out with fries and no butter on the roll also as it says). The waitress seemed so annoyed we didn't even mention it. Just hands down awful. I wish I could say anything else but I couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

Amazing dining experience! Sat inside near bar and live music which was awesome. I had the salmon (perfectly cooked) on sauteed spinach. Paired with truffle mac and cheese AND asparagus with hollandaise - don't judge me . Side portions are large enough to share. Edward was our waiter and bar tender - such a treat, very attentive and knowledgeable. He is a sommelier and they have an extensive wine list but I was feelin' brown. The whiskey sour and old fashion he mixed was delish and I am a tough bourbon drink critic. Met the chef and his passion is contagious. Will definitely dine here often. read more

We went to ROE August 1, 2024, to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had not been there for over one year. First the air conditioning was not fully functional when we walked in, and it was very muggy. Our bartender Kyle was great. We ordered our entrees my wife ordered the scallop dish. What a joke! It was priced at $46.00, and it came to our table with 3 scallops. Surely, we knew something was wrong. We thought they had made a mistake as it was likely an appetizer. We had the manager come over and eventually the chef/owner. He contended that this was indeed the entree, however, was supposed to have a total of 4 scallops. Why did we only get 3? Are you kidding me $46.00 for this dish that included some awful asparagus's that were soggy and did not look fresh. Unfortunately, this wonderful restaurant has really gone downhill which is very unfortunate. They took her meal off the bill and were sorry we were so unsatisfied. No thanks for that selection of restaurants, we will never go back. read more

Great service and fantastic food. The ambiance is very cool and intimate. Love going there when oysters are buck a shuck during slow season
