    I realize Roanoke is popular & busy, tho wish something could be done about tempering the noise level in the back room. Even lowering the stereo would help. When crowded, there is something about the heightened guests' conversation levels bouncing off the ceiling that rapidly wears me out. Otherwise, excellent in all ways.

    Great place for dinner before going to a theater show. Service was great, food was good, but as we had a couple of plant-based people on our group, we were glad they had options, but wished there was even more vegan options for them. Perfect location for dinner before venturing to the theater district.

    I had an amazing lunch experience here. From the gentlemen who greeted me when I arrived and checked my luggage, to my waitress, Destiny, who was very attentive and friendly. The food and drinks were amazing and the S’more dessert I had was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend this restaurant and I will visit again when I am in town.
