    We celebrated our 35th anniversary at the restaurant. It happened to be a very quiet weekend and we had the whole restaurant to ourselves! Atmosphere, service and food were perfect! Loved it

    We had a delightful evening at Lafayette Inn for dinner on a Friday night. The staff was wonderful and made great recommendations on the menu. We both had steak and loved it- perfectly cooked! We also tried the corn fritters and definitely recommend those too! The Inn is super cute and I loved the historic feel of the dining room. Dinner was relaxed and was just what we were looking for on our mountain weekend away. 10/10 would recommend if you're in the area.

    Lovely menu and great food. Best part is always the service. Not sure how they manage to be fast and efficient while also relaxed and friendly.

    The food was excellent and the portions were very generous. Our waitress was great and helped to make the birthdays in the room (there were multiple that night) a lot of fun!

    Enjoyed a nice, quiet dinner at this gem in a small town in Virginia. Food and service was excellent. The dessert was a warm butterscotch bundt cake ala mode, it was delicious! Definitely recommend this restaurant.
