    The red snapper was good but became cold very quickly because the room is cold. Service was excellent. I asked for coffee & baileys but they only had decaffeinated & there was no offer to make regular coffee. My husband ordered a medium rare ribeye but it arrived very rare so he asked to have it cooked longer. It arrived cooked to medium rare but had so much fat & gristle that he sent it back & ordered the red snapper which took so long that I had finished dessert. They said the delay in the fish was because he had sent the ribeye back twice which made no sense. I ordered the eggnog cheesecake which was supposed to have caramel but didn’t but I did not mention it after the delay explanation. Lovely atmosphere & conscientious servers. However, this is out 2nd try here after a terrible 1st experience there. We try to give places a second chance, however, I doubt we will return.

    On your way to the rooftop restaurant, you get to enjoy quite a few pieces of art on the walls of the hotel. Once there, you are greeted with a sleek and modern decor, with some art deco and retro touches here and there. The open kitchen is inviting as you walk by towards your table. The view is very enjoyable, especially during the summer when you can eat outside. Seating is comfortable and not crowded. The only downside to the ambience of the venue is the TVs hung on the walls, opposite the bar. They make the space louder than it should be for a fine dining restaurant, taking away from the overall experience. The service is courteous and prompt, without being pushy. Prices are less than what you would expect for the venue. The dish selection is always changing, allowing regular customers to taste a variety of food while keeping the menu itself pretty modest in size. Sides and desserts are delicious and generous in portion without being wasteful. Overall, this was a great experience every time I've been there. I will always request a table away from the TVs, for a more intimate feel.

    Wait staff were super nice. However, it.was really busy and took a while for our appetizers and meals. Worth the wait. Salmon was really salty, but everything else was seasoned perfectly.

    First, I absolutely love the views you can see from where you’re sitting. Absolutely gorgeous seeing the changing of the Fall leaves. Also, the service was great, and the food was very good especially for the price. We would definitely go there next time we visit Tech.

    Awful experience. Waited over an hour for our reserved table. The restaurant was understaffed and food, after long delay, was just ok. Corn chowder arrived cold. Hostess is a very hard worker. She is conscientious.

    The service and food were top notch. This was a rare find for Southwest Virginia. We will definitely be coming back. On because the restaurant was on the rooftop, we were able to see the October comet. A real special treat!
