Restaurants near Southern Virginia University

Excellent service, friendly menu suggestions by the server, followed by great food.

As always an elegant dining experience in a beautiful setting! Every staff member encountered was exceptionally friendly, professional and above and beyond in service! From fresh creative salads, bruschetta, brussel sprouts and french onion soup expertly created and prepared! Our main courses cooked to perfection- loved the Surf and Turf and Shrimp Florentine! The sides of fingerling potatoes,, creamed spinach and brussel sprouts were all delicious too! Of course chocolate coconut cake and coffee topped off a fabulous meal for 6 of us!

The food was fabulous. We were there for the Christmas decorations which were really great. The restaurant was moderately busy but not slammed. Our service however was very poor. Waiter didn't know anything about the wine "special" other than the name of the varietal. They totally forgot to make the side dish for one of eaters and it was finally delivered well over 1/2 way through his dinner. The waiter never returned to our table to check on us our entire meal. I had to flag down other staff to get refills on water and drinks for all at our table. Had to wait a significant time to order desert (which was great). The quickest part of our service came when he presented the bill and came to collect my credit card. No apologies for slow service. No let me comp something for your troubles. What should have been a wonderful celebratory night for our group was marred by the poor service experience which ultimately lead to the meal taking almost 3 hours to complete. I would go back for the food and the ambiance, the service not so much.

We had a great meal, in a nice environment and cool restaurant. The service was a little slow, but still polite. I would recommend it, but you need to make sure you have some extra time. 

Grilled salmon and French roasted chicken were absolutely delicious!
