Every one of these are excellent: the food, the service and the ambiance. One of the best, possibly the very best, restaurant in Lynchburg, Virginia! We have been going since they opened. It is a lovely environment with wonderful food, excellent service, and an outstanding, friendly staff! Ellen and Andrew Gross read more

Went with my wife and son. Tremendously overpriced for what you get and the manager was rude. Wait staff was GREAT, want to make sure to say that. They brought us champagne for our wedding anniversary. We paid $120 for 2 stakes that were grizzly and fat - unable to eat. Then, the manager essentially told us we had to leave, offering us the "coffee table" because they needed to sit other people at our 4 person table. Strangely, there was a couple at a 4 person booth next to us who were there before we got there and were still sitting there when we were told we needed to leave. All this for $380. Save your money and check out any of the other places in downtown Lynchburg. read more

We had reservations and showed up early to get a drink at the bar. The bar was crowded and it was hard to order a drink. The manager assisted us and was above and beyond in his service - not just to us but to many. We were seated promptly at our reservation time and enjoyed a delicious meal. The french onion soup, chopped salad and ribeye were all fantastic. The service was exceptional as well. We enjoyed the relaxed nature of the venue and the extra attention to detail. read more

William & Henry Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

Last night was absolutely the greatest experience we've had at a restaurant in a LONG time! The staff, including our fantastic waitress, Stephanie, were above and beyond top-notch! The food was absolutely perfectly prepared and presented very nicely. It was the absolute best ribeye I've had in quite some time. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the bone in veal chop, and all the sides that accompanied each meal. Yes it is a little pricey, but it is well worth it! I definitely look forward to making this a date night destination for my wife and I. read more

I came alone, and the host sat me in his favorite seat by the window. It was a mellow atmosphere with dim lighting and a low noise level. My server Zach took the best care of me. He was kind, attentive and went the extra mile to make sure I had a delightful experience. Amazing server! I was also blown away by the filet, certainly the star of the show, perfect medium rare and melted in my mouth. Everything tasted in incredible but the filet was phenomenal! Worth every penny. I ordered the Prix Fixe and it was more than enough food, I had to take dessert to go! read more

Food - 5 stars. The steak and Brussel sprouts were amazing. The bread service was pretty average Service - 4 stars. Friendly but slow. Seeming had too many tables to attend to. Ambiance - 4 stars. There are no signs when you pull up. So be aware it is in the lower floor of a hotel and it is on street parking. The restaurant itself is very nice. Price- slightly above what I would have expected for the experience. read more

William & Henry Steakhouse - Beautiful if a little dark - Steakhouses Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

Where to start? All 5s for atmosphere, service, menu, and execution. We were forced to do 5:00PM reservations because nothing else was available. We arrived a little early and were seated promptly at 5:00. Our server arrived immediately and was always there when needed, never otherwise. We had excellent martinis, good onion soup, and split an outstanding filet. Because it was my birthday we were comped creamed spinach and bournaise sauce and a desert chocolate cake. We ordered an excellent Italian red wine that was fairly priced. The wine list was well conceived. It's a 5 star restaurant in all respects. We'll return. read more

This place was classy. The interior was gorgeous with wall papered ceilings and interesting light fixtures. Our server Cat was on point. She made sure we didn't order too many sides, came back at all the appropriate moments throughout our dinning experience. My cocktail was outstanding, you might think you can't mess up a martini but you definitely can and this one was to die for. All of the food was quite tasty, wedge salad had just the right amount of dressing, roasted potatoes were perfectly crispy creamed spinach wasn't too rich. The steaks were cooked perfect to order. I ordered the ribeye which was delish and huge, had the leftovers for lunch. My friends reported that their NY strip was tasty. The steaks were not the best steaks I've ever had but the entirety of the meal was matched with the price. If you're looking for a nice traditional steakhouse in Lynchburg this is the one! read more

A friend and I were in town a couple weeks ago and W&H was a 2 minute walk from our place we stayed at. 30oz porterhouse was a special for the night, we both got it with sides of potatoes and asparagus. Excellent! I couldn't eat all my sides even though they were delicious, the focus was on the porterhouse! Pair that with a couple excellent rye old fashioneds and a great waiter. Great meal! read more

My waitress just made this day just so special. She was so incredible to our 9 month old and it was just so amazing. I wish I got her name. She really made it so our son was having a great time too and she was very careful about how she placed knives and forks around the little one. It's so rare to see that. I loved the food there and the atmosphere was just wonderful. Everything about this place was on point. read more

What a great ! After traveling all Over for work I ended up at this restaurant ! The service was great and I got the ahi tuna (I know it's a steakhouse but I don't eat steaks often)! It was the best ahi tuna. Tender. Fresh. Cooked lightly to perfection. On top of lovely veggies and a washabi sauce that was lovely. The bread and butter is heavenly Too. The soup of red pepper crab was delicious ! The creamed spinach on the side was a delight. I feel this restaurant is worth every penny. It's lovely food and I was dining alone there (since on business trip) and the server still made me feel special. So many times I dine alone when traveling for work and don't get proper treatment. They were so lovely to me and the place was super busy and the server still made time to keep checking on me!! A special dinner. Loved every bite !!!!! read more

Nice atmosphere and staff however, any time a place menus says Market Price. Run. Prices don't change that fast.

Came here while I'm town for Easter. Super accommodating as we rode scooters from the Craddock Terry Hotel to W&H and after growing up in Lynchburg thought we were on the Correct street and was not.

We knew our meal would be memorable especially after eating at one of their sister restaurants the night before: Skyline. What a beautiful space at William & Henry. Regan was our server & she was delightful- friendly, knowledgeable and personable. We had a great experience. -fresh mahi mahi special with shrimp (6 of them) with asparagus. -mushroom side. Oh. My. Gosh. That au jus! -fiancé's steak. Perfectly cooked. And yes. Wayyyy too full for dessert. Yet...all the reviews on the famous chocolate cow cake beckoned. We got it to go. As soon as we walked back to our Air BNB I couldn't wait! Had some bites & worth the calories! Truly a memorable meal. Remember to tip well. Everyone working so hard! read more

THE BEST! Roger, the chef is undoubtedly the best chef in Lynchburg perhaps in this part of the state everything must be to perfection. The ambience is delightful.

We started with an Old Fashioned and Extra Dirty Martini, which were made perfectly. Followed with some bread and appetizers that started our dinner very well.

With W&HS being around since 2018, you'd think that they would have their act together, especially with The Virginian's reputation. FOH seemed to struggle with timing, quality and balance, but BOH saved the visit. Food was well prepared, delicious and memorable. Unfortunately, the wine list is monopolized by domestics, with French being a distant second. Food prices are reasonable considering their quality, but could easily be blamed as premium hotel rates. Beverages, particularly the wines, lean towards insane markups. The swanky atmosphere can be thoroughly enjoyed more when tacky customers don't bring their children and treat the visit as a Chuck E. Cheese. Perhaps what allows me to feel better about assigning W&HS with four stars is the live entertainment during our visit & the option to experience the rooftop bar. read more

The food was delicious, our group had everything from lobster to salmon to steak. We ate appetizers of calamari, shrimp cocktail. Delicious and prepared to perfection. Desserts were amazing. Not over sweet, great flavors! My husband's traveled around the world eating in many different restaurants but this one had some of the best service that he's ever experienced. We had two waiters assigned to a group of nine. They were respectful and attentive. Our room was quiet enough we could hear all the conversations across the table, music was nice but not too loud. We will have good memories of this very special evening. read more

The stuffed salmon was good enough, but tasted exactly like the stuffed salmon you can buy at Sam's Club and cook at home yourself. The creamed spinach tasted like any other creamed spinach we've had at decent restaurants. My husband said the steak tastes okay, but is equivalent to what we could cook at home. But the Brussels really stole the show; they were great. The ambiance was nice, and the service was good. Overall, this was a very overpriced dinner that I feel, taste-wise, I could get at home. But if you want the fancy experience, go for it. We probably won't be back. read more

We were meeting our daughter and her roommate for dinner at Skyline upstairs in the hotel. However, we noticed they were closed to an event so we came downstairs to see if they had any openings. The manager Jamie was wonderful, and we got a little table in a quiet room near the bar area. Our waitress was amazing and took excellent care of us. The food was awesome from the appetizers to desserts. read more

I cannot remember having a better filet mignon: nice size, flavorful, tender (obviously), lightly spiced, cooked to perfection. A very nice soup and salad, and reasonably priced good Bordeaux. Good service. Ambience elegant but unpretentious. I will be back. read more

The service is top notch at this restaurant. The staff were very attentive and timed their interactions well. Their old fashioned was superb, mixed with port wine and a candied orange made it a step above any old fashioned I've had before. Their salad was excellent with house made dressing. The steaks were cooked to perfection and proportioned perfectly. I chose a side of Brussel sprouts which were oversized and topped with a nice balsamic glaze. My SO had a jumbo baked potato which definitely lived up to its name. Dessert was great as well. I had the chocolate flourless tort. It was topped with fresh blueberries and whipped cream. My SO's dessert, however, was the cheesecake with a raspberry glaze. It was phenomenal. It a had a thick crunchy crust we believe was infused with some nut (perhaps almonds?). It was amazing and truly helped conclude the meal with a delightful taste. My only criticism is some of the furniture detracted slightly from the atmosphere (cow hide-backed chairs and accessories (ottomans) seemed to detract from the upscale nature of the restaurant). read more

The William and Henry steakhouse is located in the Virginian Hotel in lovely downtown Lynchburg. Without a doubt, this is the top quality restaurant in the area. Everything is made with fine procession, and attention to detail. I am very pleased to see that they are open, even with the restricted hours. I usually stay at the Virginian for only one reason, and that is to go to this steakhouse. I enjoy the convenience of being able to walk downstairs and have a fantastic meal. So why, may you ask, is this review only getting four stars? While I clearly feel the food quality is exceptional, and rates five stars, the service, at least during my last visit, is very much below standard. It is hard to give an overall rating of five for a steakhouse experience when the service is lacking. As for the food, there is nothing to complain about. I had a filet mignon which was cooked perfectly with an accompanying béarnaise sauce, which again, was prepared perfectly. This was accompanied by silky smooth mashed potatoes and a wonderful salad. The food is five stars ... no doubt. Now for the service. While our food was delivered on time, every interaction with the waitstaff left my guest and I just staring at each other amazed. He interrupted numerous conversations and also appeared dismissive at times. I don't know if it was just a bad night, but the William and Henry steakhouse is a special occasion steakhouse. Ambience and service are part of the package. I would not be presumptive to suggest that this is everyone's experience or this is routinely occurring. But I can only report on what I experienced. I will absolutely return for another meal. Hopefully I will have an opportunity to update this review with a more favorable comment on the service. In my opinion, this is without a doubt the premier dining option in the Lynchburg area. With some small adjustments, I am quite certain that they will continue to flourish. Best of luck to the staff, I wish you all very well and I look forward to my next meal. read more

So I didn't have a steak here. I said I would the next time, but my business travel to Lynchburg has ended and, while I spent my teenage summers at Lynchburg College, I'll probably never go back to Lynchburg again. So take my review lightly, as fish is not their specialty. I had the sea bass. This was my third time having sea bass and it was exactly how I've had it every time. In conclusion, I am not a fan. It's translucent. And my sea bass was borderline bland. My friend loved the salmon. I didn't try it. It's convenient if you don't want to leave the hotel for dinner. But other restaurants with bigger more interesting menus are in walking distance from the Virginian, which serves as home to this beyond beautiful ala carte restaurant. read more

Steakhouse I'm going to buck the trend here and bring the rating to where I believe it ought to be. Five star anything in Central Virginia has to be taken with a grain of salt - five stars compared to what? The William & Henry steakhouse is, like the Virginian hotel which houses it, brand new. In the culinary desert that is Lynchburg, a modern steakhouse was desperately needed. With that in mind, I was looking forward to the William & Henry opening. Visually appealing when you first walk in and overall a very nice atmosphere for a night out with the significant other or even a business dinner. Done in darker shades, it sets a nice mood. Bar area on the left is mid-sized and manned by very good help - definitely a place to grab a cocktail with friends or while waiting for your group to arrive. Waitstaff is probably the best you will get in the area - there are certainly a few restaurants that have good wait staff but by and large you get untrained temporary help in most places. W&H staff are pretty on the ball and upbeat to be sure. That being said, I was surprised when there was no offers of nightly specials- not sure if they do not have them or just not mentioned. The menu is pretty comprehensive with about a 50-50 split between meat and seafood entrees and apps. There are some salads in there for good measure but beyond that, if you have a member of your party who is not into meats or seafood, you are pretty much out of luck. The meat side of the house has all the standard steak house offerings and to be completely frank, they were just ok. Steaks appears to be cooked maybe one done-ness higher than what was order, so if you asked for medium rare, it came out closer to medium. This seemed to be across all types of meat at our table (we had a larger party) Beyond the done-ness, no one really thought much of the meat overall. To be fair, no one ordered the porterhouse for two or the dry aged steak, so I will have to try those in order to get a better read. Prices were higher than the rest of the area and frankly, I do not care so much about the cost so long as the meal is memorable. The sides are all à la carte, as expected in this type of establishment. The difference here was that the sides could handle maybe three people if sharing so you would have to double up if say you had 6 people. Side themselves were absolutely nothing special at all. Gnocchi with bacon and cheese was meh, creamed spinach was odd and even the whipped potatoes looked processed... not what I would expect for $8 - $9 a pop, and certainly not worthy of a steakhouse. Drinks were adequately sized and priced a little higher than what you would expect. A Manhattan up was $15 for example. Again, I like to drink, and do not mind paying for said drinks, but give then me a $15 drink. Wine list was below average with all the usual suspects. Again, to be fair, this is Lynchburg and I would think you wouldn't want a wine cellar supporting 250 different wines. Essentially a "safe" list of wines that they expect to turn. I did not see nor did I ask if they have a sommelier available. Desserts seemed to be out of the box - one member ordered the Crème brûlée' and another ordered the coconut cow (I think) cake and both looked like they were factory made. I did not try either, so not idea on taste. All in all a very nice place to take a date but it serves middle of the road food. For Lynchburg it is on the higher-end scale of things, but it would never stand a chance against a full-on steakhouse in other parts of the country. I will try it again just to see if the actual steak cuts make the difference and if the cooking was just off on all the steaks we tried that night. Parking is on the street or valet. For dinner you may have to walk a block but it shouldn't be a big deal. read more

Stayed at the hotel. Had dinner last night it was fine and expensive. Still not sure how $50 dinner was taxed $10. Get free breakfast as Diamond member so I went back this morning. Staff is friendly but limited in skills or handling challenges. Ordered quiche, English muffin and some fancy name for potatoes. Everything but the $2.75 toast was old. Sent potatoes back once, they brought out the same potatoes which were cooked days ago and heated up. Quiche was very dry with hard crust on top. Could not eat either. Cannot believe no one checked the quality or freshness of this over priced menu. The wait person was attentive and she tried. Heard her tell the manager and he did nothing. If you're crazy enough to go here be careful not to order pre made items. It cost them one additional night of my stay. Switched hotels. read more

Wonderful restuarant in the Virginian Hotel. My wife and I came to Lynchburg to tour a few wineries between Lynchburg and Charlottesville and we are so glad we picked this resturant. For dinner, we had filets and shared an order of brussel sprouts and they were cooked perfectly. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, service. and the food. We also enjoyed our wine since we did not have to drive. All in all a great dining experience. We will be coming back! read more

William & Henry Steakhouse - a glass of wine on a table - Steakhouses Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

Second stop in Lynchburg and loved it. The steak (filet 8oz) is in my top three all time. Phenomenal. Tons of flavor, cooked to perfection and true to size. We opted for two sides to split. We went with corn and whipped potatoes. The corn would have been great, but it was baked with onions and bell peppers. This wasn't on the menu and neither of us are fans of onions. They ended up removing this from the tab since we really didn't eat any of it and, as I said, wasn't listed that way on the menu. The potatoes weren't anything to write home about. Need a lot more flavor and texture wasn't truly "whipped". Ambience and service were on point. Will be back and will try some other sides, but if you're looking for steak, look no further. 10/10. read more

Amazing service and superb food. The flavors simply popped in our mouths. It was a great place to celebrate.

Probably the best steal in Lynchburg. Classic atmosphere. Great service. Valet parking is very helpful.

Easily one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The service was fantastic and very attentive. I ordered the 16oz Ribeye and it was phenomenal, it was easily one of the best steaks that I have ever had. We got the potato wedges with truffle oil as a side and they were also extremely good!
