The ceremony view of the amazing Virginia countryside with pond, hills and the changing fall trees was an amazing backdrop. With two sides enclosed, a fireplace and heaters the late night venue was cozy but yet open air (which can be important when pandemics threaten events). Melba made the event so easy for planning. Erica, the bartender, kept all our guests happy. The site has plenty of ice for all bartending needs, a kitchen for food setup and three eclectic bathrooms. We would highly recommend The Pavilion at Blackwater Junction for any event needs!!

Close to shopping, restaurants, but the view from our hotel room was a picturesque farm and countryside. Friendly staff. Thankful it was pet-friendly, and the cost for our pets wasn't exorbitant...it wasn't a "per night" cost that could add up quickly; rather, it was a flat cost. Definitely recommend.

Also nice to see normal sized shampoo, conditioner and body wash as I forget mine at home and those bitty bottles don't do nothing for a full grown anyone. I am BLOWN away that there is a dishwasher, full fridge instead of mini and a microwave along with a "kitchen sink" right in the hotel room also. AWESOME! Also the app to not only open all doors but also to get into the building. Talk about safety. I mean it's SUPER annoying when our phones always demagnetize our key cards so I luv it. Now for the downside... we found a stink bug in our room! Now how it got in here is the question. I mean coulda been worse and been a spider or bed bugs, but if I hadn't seen it on our window and again on a shelf well it coulda appeared anywhere while we were sleeping. Therefore I take off a star. Love everything ya got going on here buuuuut maybe try not to let bugs in the building lol Just a friendly suggestion UPDATE the bug came back OR it was the same one NOW dead bc for some reason my mom did not kill it before throwing it away. It's a huge room it woulda been fine but ya ew

We throughly enjoyed ourselves and the two couples we sat with. Everyone was pleasant and talkative. The food served was delicious and well presented. Each course was developed by a student. The one thing we thought was that the noise was out of control. Even the two partners sitting with us. Of course, I had to purchase the cookbooks in the store. I love cookbooks. Now I just need to make something out of them. We both hope, to make it to another Farm to Table.

After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last…read moreyear, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those established ones that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And The Maridor is the perfect example. This historic mansion, built in 1916 and restored many years later, received its name from its its third owner, Marion Augustus Smyth, President of National Business College who re-named the home "Maridor" after his two children, Marion and Dorothy. Maridor. It is located in the highly regarded area of the historic Grandin Village, in Roanoke, Virginia. Established in 1993, The Maridor offers a versatile event space for weddings, corporate functions, and social gatherings. And also has a very unique restaurant that currently is open Wednesdays through Fridays from 4:00 to 9pm. One can book a reservation through their website to dine in either the Restaurant, the Bar, the Dining Room, or the Patio, and enjoy some excellent cuisine from Director and Executive Chef Seth who offers southern-style cooking with International comfort food flavors. What he has created is a place with a diverse menu, where one can go and dine in, enjoying the history of the house with some nice food and drinks at a reasonable price. With Seth's background in Asian cuisine from his Food Truck days, he created a menu with two sides: A West Side and an East Side, providing in it something for everyone's tastes. But his ultimate vision is to create unforgettable dining experiences that inspire and delight his guests. With this amazing background information, I was tempted to go try it out, and thought of all the other restaurants I had discovered in this same way. By driving by them several times until I decided it was time to go experience what's inside. I made a reservation for a Friday at 6:30 pm. When I arrived the house was so big I couldn't find thr entrance at first, but I phoned them and they told me I was at the right place and how to reach the front door. I was warmly greeted by a charming lady with a great personality and taking to the dining room of the house. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review for a better sense of the feel of this restaurant. I was seated at the table of my choice. My server Sharon had the bartender make me a Mocktail to start off with and I had a treat ordering from the menu. For appetizer some Crab Rangoons, followed by a Classic Shrimp Cocktail, and Rockefeller Oysters. As the main course, the Beef Brisket Bao Buns, and for dessert, I later order their Maple Pecan Bourbon Bread Pudding. My server came to check on my at the right times and to fill me in with the History of this house and restaurant and I had a one of a kind dining experience. I highly recommend this place for a couple's night out, or to dine with family and friends. The place provides a comfortable yet distinguish environment in which to enjoy quality time with your loved ones.
