To start, the restaurant is simply beautiful during the holiday season. When we walked in we were greeted with smiles and warmth from a wood burning fire in the lobby area. Once seated, we had a view of yet another fireplace. Service was spot on and the wine very nice. However, it is the food that stole the evening. I had the ribeye rare and my wife had the ribeye medium rare. Both were cooked to perfection. The sides were delicious. We were too stuffed to have desert there but brought one home for a treat the next day. Would definitely recommend.

About the restaurant

The views of Primland’s rolling fairways and verdant forest landscapes could easily distract if the cuisine and generous interiors at Leatherflower did not command your full attention. Savor refined seasonal dishes that highlight native ingredients from Primland’s own farm and greenhouse, as well as the local mills, farms and suppliers. Floral grasscloth wallpaper, wooden beams, an ever-glowing fireplace and intimate seating arrangements with custom upholstered banquettes and chairs capture the spirit of a whimsical Virginia inn while diners partake in an exceptional culinary journey through the tastes of Appalachia.

We had a great weekend away at Primland. Ate a few meals at Leatherflower and loved every one. Staff is super kind and attentive. A lot of locally sourced items which I think is pretty awesome. Would definitely come back.

Great food. Very friendly staff. Food was slightly late, but we didn’t really notice it until the staff apologized. We were just enjoying the atmosphere. Excellent service. Great staff.

About the restaurant

A favorite Southwest Virginia landmark, The Farmhouse Restaurant has served the New River Valley since 1963. The authentic farm house, originally part of the Ridinger Estate, was build in the 1800's.

In the early 1970's, an old train caboose was added to provide a unique dining area. During the past decade, a rustic lounge, additional dinner seats, and a spacious 250-seat Banquet Facility have added to the charm of The Farmhouse.

We have dinner in the Pine Room every year at this time and then look at all the beautiful trees at HR and it was amazing as usual! We even got the same table that we’ve had for three years in a row, which adds to the traditional experience! Everyone was so nice and the service was excellent. Thank you for making our families Holiday season special!

In our first visit to OTH Chophouse, we were very impressed with the presentation, ambience, and preparation of our meal. We both had a signature cocktail. My Smokehouse cocktail had a natural smokiness without being overpowered my the sweet maple - a well executed balance. My entree was the Mahi, which was delicious. I also choose the brussel sprouts, grilled to perfection with yellow raisins within, providing a yummy contrast. All in all, a wonderful experience. We will be back.

About the restaurant

419 West was opened to the public in May of 2002 by Roger Neel Jr. and Al Pollard, the same operators that started Corned Beef and Company and Frankie Rowland's Steak House. The building was remodeled to the current state with the addition of a perfect dome in the middle of the dining room, a hand built mahogany bar, two private dining rooms, and a state of the art "open" kitchen. The kitchen features a wood burning oven for our pizzas, and a charcoal grill seasoned with hickory chips, for our ½ Pound Certified Angus Beef hamburgers and St Louis Style Ribs.

The style of food is considered American with slight influences from the around the world and all over the United States. Whether you would like a multi course sit down dinner or are just stopping in for a hamburger or a pizza, we have menu items to suit your wants or needs. We would love the opportunity to serve you, so stop by to try one of our simple yet elegant dishes.

Once we were seated, there was quite a wait for our server to attend to us, but after that initial delay, the service truly exceeded our expectations.

About the restaurant

The Black Hen Restaurant offers a metropolitan dining experience in a small college town. While there are some classic dishes that are always available, the majority of our menu changes very frequently. We value the culinary diversity the global community has to offer while still maintaining heart strings tied to the South Eastern US and Appalachian offerings that surround us. We also offer a strong wine list and an often changing craft cocktail selections.
