Alexander's is a one of kind restaurant where it's a pleasure eating there from beginning to end. I was greated and given a warm welcome by a friendly yet distinguished host. He took me to my table located in its elegant yet relaxing main dining room. My host was very kind and graceful, remembering me from the last time I dined there and thanking me for having returned. The food was exquisite. I had BBQ Shrimp together with French bread and butter as appetizer. Followed by a house salad an then the main entrée of Filet Gorgonzola cooked medium rare. To end I had coffee and a Dark chocolate Tart for dessert. The wonderful cuisine, amazing service, and attractive atmosphere once again created a memorable experience. One that I will always remember and cherish dearly.

About the restaurant

The views of Primland’s rolling fairways and verdant forest landscapes could easily distract if the cuisine and generous interiors at Leatherflower did not command your full attention. Savor refined seasonal dishes that highlight native ingredients from Primland’s own farm and greenhouse, as well as the local mills, farms and suppliers. Floral grasscloth wallpaper, wooden beams, an ever-glowing fireplace and intimate seating arrangements with custom upholstered banquettes and chairs capture the spirit of a whimsical Virginia inn while diners partake in an exceptional culinary journey through the tastes of Appalachia.

About the restaurant

A favorite Southwest Virginia landmark, The Farmhouse Restaurant has served the New River Valley since 1963. The authentic farm house, originally part of the Ridinger Estate, was build in the 1800's.

In the early 1970's, an old train caboose was added to provide a unique dining area. During the past decade, a rustic lounge, additional dinner seats, and a spacious 250-seat Banquet Facility have added to the charm of The Farmhouse.

From the soup to the dessert, everything was delicious. I had the crab bisque and the pistachio pesto pasta and my mom had the house salad with the roasted red pepper pasta. We shared the cinnamon roll bread pudding for dessert. Suffice it to say there were no doggie bags, we ate every bite!
