   Other reviewers have said the restaurant appears run down. I found it charming. The atmosphere was hushed and dim. The service was impeccable. We were seated immediately and attended to regularly. Our waitress went above and beyond with a couple special requests. Her recommendations were great. We had the fried oysters, harvest salad, apple rutabaga bisque, grouper entree, and one of the chicken entrees. Everything was fresh, correct in temperature and cooking, and delicious. Pricing was appropriate. Even the coffee was very good!

   The New Year's Eve dinner menu at The Summit was preset. It included soup or salad, entree, and dessert at a cost of $53. The dinner was delicious and atmosphere was very pleasant. The Summit is a diamond in the rough of the New River Valley.

   Thought we would try something different for a date night. Overall, a 3-star rating seems fair. Food was ok, we had the NY Strip and the Italian Angel, nothing to write home about, excessive sauce on the pasta, Apple Rutabaga soup was amazing. Service was slow, we had 5pm reservations and only 1 of 2 customers in the restaurant. The waiter discussed the "experience" of dining with them. However, we didn't experience anything you wouldn't get at a chain restaurant, other than the quiet. Prices were a high for the quality of food delivered. We could take it or leave it, probably wouldn't visit again.

   Delay after delay after delay. We were not seated until an hour after we arrived for our reservation - following our instigating with the staff to convert an unseated table for five into a table to seat the six in our party. Had to push to receive bread. Had to ask for our salads/soup. Entrees arrived in stages of 15 minutes apart. A 6:30 pm reservation resulted in a stay until 9:30 pm - DO NOT go to this restaurant / they are understaffed and do not manage their capacity to match their resources / both wait and cook staff. VERY DISAPPOINTED

   The restaurant is in an old house that could be a fabulous experience but it just comes across as sorta creepy. Needs to be maintained do you don’t feel like your dining in a haunted house. Service was very slow and everything seemed unorganized.

   They did not note our reservation. When we got there, they said they didn’t have our reservation. I brought up the confirmation from OpenTable, and they said they must’ve not put it down and that they didn’t have any tables. They told us we might be able to come back 2 1/2 hours later and there might be a table then. I think the thing that bothers me the most was that there was no apology or attempt to rectify the situation.

   I loved this quaint restaurant! The service even though a little short staffed was exemplary. The food was great, the chef was very nice and it literally would have cost me twice as much where I’m from.

    Took daughter out for parents weekend. Their systems are all still on paper so couldn’t find open table reservation. Server was ok and honest about dishes. Good was heavily salted. Oyster Rockefeller did not have great oysters. Lots of sauces on everything.

    Finished moving our sophomore daughter into Virginia Tech and we had found this place when looking to make reservations and what a find! Are we definitely consider ourselves to be foodies from New Jersey and this did not disappoint. Everything was amazing and the service was impeccable but for less than we have rang up in bills around the area on previous move-ins…. Our server Jerry was top notch and we would love to thank her again for a great meal and a great experience!

    Delicious food, lovely presentation. Linen tablecloths and napkins. My friend loved her chicken & rice entree. The chef happily substituted plain rice for the wild rice listed, and the wait staff brought out an additional serving of rice when requested. I ordered the garlic potato soup as appetizer, a bit salty. I had the "Italian Angel" for my entree; delicious scallops and shrimp over pasta with a light cream sauce, lovely presentation. Like many places, the restaurant is short staffed, so service was a bit slow, but the wait staff seemed to be doing their utmost to keep up. The restaurant sits on a quiet side street so if the weather is nice, request a table outside. Reason: the victorian house is lovely, but the interior is getting run down; broken lighting, peeling wallpaper. A subpar sound system (very tinny & echoey) playing an odd variety of music took away from the charm of the restaurant. Children (kids of the staff? owner?) stomping around on the second floor above the dining room did not add to the ambiance. Good food, good value, disappointing environment.

    I made a reservation in OpenTable for my daughter's 18th birthday celebration with 4 of her friends. I went there, but they refused to serve us and sent me back home even if I have a reservation confirmation. They complain they didn't turn off the Open Table system because they are busy. What a great disappointment who planned a special 18th birthday dinner with friends. We thought that it was a special place to celebrate with all the reviews. I saw the couple is waiting for in the case of cancellation but they can serve us. Very interesting hospitality business running. Choose who wants to serve and the right to refuse the reservation customers. If they don't royal the Open table, or reservation, they shouldn't be.

    Had a reservation for a Saturday night. When we arrived, there was another group ahead of us, also with a reservation. After several minutes, the hostess finally greeted us. She was flustered and overwhelmed. She mumbled something about things being a mess. We asked why, what was going on, and she indicated that they only had two people working and had recently taken in several walk-ins. She seated both parties but indicated that things would be slow due to the volume of people and lack of workers. We sat for over 10 minutes without so much as getting our water glasses filled. We honestly couldn’t even get the attention of the server to ask a question. Finally, after 20 minutes and still no one coming by, we walked out. My suggestion to the restaurant…don’t take in guests without reservations if you can’t properly service the guests that do have a reservation.

    It was a hidden gem to us. We have been to many restaurants in the area but never heard of this one until a google search and it was so worth the trip. The food was amazing and the waiter was just as amazing. He even went onto the front and took our picture for us since we were celebrating a birthday.

    Our family was in town for College Regionals baseball and Summit treated us like royalty! The food was excellent- not just the flavor, but the offerings. My apple rhubarb bisque was so velvety with layers of flavor. All our meals were scrumptious. Our service was top notch and all with a friendly smile. Totally recommend this place!!

    The waitress was never available and seemed pre occupied with taking care of the other table and any time we asked for something it seemed to irritate her and I asked for a cup of coffee and she sighed with a big breath saying I’ll have to make it and it took 30 min to get a baby cup of cold coffee for 3.95! The crème brûlée was like a round egg from McDonald’s I just expected more quality food for the prices and was thinking the waitress would be more professional and in tune to us. Won’t be back.

    One of the best restaurants in the area, maybe the best. Nice rooms in an old house with a few tables per room. Excellent staff and very good dishes. The sauces are particularly good and not surprisingly most dishes have a source. Not inexpensive, but that is to be expected for this level of restaurant. Wonderful place for special occasions or good conversation with friends.
