We made a reservation one month in advance to celebrate my sister's birthday at Sisters. Six sisters celebrating at Sisters. When we arrived we were told there would be a very long wait in spite of our reservation. The staff sat us in a nice waiting area and apologized and bought us a round of drinks while we waited. We wait for MORE than an hour. By the time we were seated, there were very few customers left in the restaurant and we could tell that the wait staff had been put through the ringer. We continued to practice patience as it took more than 10 mins for someone to even acknowledge us. Once they finally did, the drinks came slowly but the food was served in a timely matter and the wait staff continued to be very apologetic. The food was average but t he restaurant is quite beautiful and would have been awesome for celebrating a special occasion had things been run more efficiently. Overall - a disappointing experience considering how far in advance we planned and how much we has been looking forward to it.

I came to town to visit my mother, I wanted to take her out to a nice restaurant and heard this was best in town. Very disappointed in the whole experience. First of all, the valet was on the porch talking for 10 minutes and I had to call the front desk to get them to park my car. I was very disappointed in the quality of the food. Our server was delightful, but very busy with a big party. She asked someone to help her and he put all the plates on my appetizer that I was going to take home then pulled the cheese out from under the plates and ask if I wanted it. plenty of other good choices in town.

Such a historic location! We were in Abingdon for a night at the Barter across the street and wanted to eat somewhere special and within walking distance with my nieces before the show. Sisters was the perfect choice. The food was great and the restaurant was beautiful. Will be back again for sure 👍🏻👍🏻.

Service was very slow and it wasn’t crowded. It took an half hour to get water on the table, another half hour to order food and wine and around 45 minutes before we were served appetizers and our entrees of fish and chips that arrived cold. We were never updated on the status of our order nor asked if there was anything we needed while we waited. We felt ignored. We were really looking forward to having dinner here but came away vey disappointed.

The food and atmosphere were great but service is lacking. We waited 50 minutes to get our bottle of wine. We waited 40 minutes before they asked us for our order. A different waitress had to bring us our bread 40 minutes into the meal. Supposedly a manager had taken the keys to all the wine and liquor cabinet home and could not return them so they were going into the seller to try to find the wine we wanted and we had to settle online that we didn’t. They did copy it in the end. Our waitress seemed very inexperienced and so a lady who appeared to be the manager kept helping with the tables.

The staff lost control of the restaurant. What started as a nice evening ended in chaos over dessert and the bill. Food was very slow. The bar was unavailable because a key was missing. Very slow service. The food ok. Too bad.

We made the reservation for 6:00pm assuming that would be enough time to make a 7:30 pm show across the street. We left at 7:40 and were surprised how long it took to get served since there were very few other diners. Food was good.
