We live in New Jersey and vacation…read moreat Smith Mountain Lake, and we've made this restaurant a special stop whenever we travel through the area. The food and service are outstanding. Brian was our server both times, and he even remembered what we ordered on our previous visit--a level of hospitality that's hard to find. I had the salmon, which was cooked perfectly, and my wife happily ordered the crab cakes again because they were just as delicious as she remembered. P.S. Don't leave without trying the Dreamsicle cheesecake--it was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal!

I thought that restaurants would like to have the business of a large group. No. We were penalized…read moreby having to pay 20 per cent large party tax . On top of that the waitress flips the tip screen and you feel obliged to comply with 17 per cent tax. The use of your credit card added another tax food: the she crab soup was too thick and greasy. Feared to be sick with it. Total: one glass of wine cost 25$ Other restaurants -Isabella Milan - do not have those practices. At Bentleys those practices are written in tiny little print I dare anyone to be able to read without glasses- at end of menu.

We had dinner here once but will be back. Probably the best dining in Lynchburg. We had one classic…read moremeal of steak with fries and one innovative tune entrée, both successes. Steak was a bit chewy but that's not unusual for hanger steak; very tasty and nicely grilled, with a good chimichurri on the side. Great fries. Seared rare tuna with fascinating set of flavors including shishito peppers, avocado, and a sauce. Potato gnocchi. Excellent. I saw a slightly different set of ingredients on last year's menu, so the chef is tweaking. Also a fine beet & goat cheese salad. Made a fine cocktail to my specifications. Well curated wine list. Service was fine, very cool ambience. Hip set of people sipping at the bar.

This last time it was busy and the service was very lacking. We had sides forgotten, had to ask for drink refills more than once, and the server seemed a bit annoyed overall. We were not even spoken to as we left. The lack of adequate service really detracted from the overall experience, especially for the price. We might try again eventually, but it will be a while for sure.

The last trip, our daughter ordered the burger and it was abysmal. It resembled a Quarter Pounder with cheese. For the prices, I expected much more.

The mimosas are fantastic, so many varieties. If you can't decide they have a flight called,"My girlfriend can't decide ", where you choose 3 different flavored mimosas at a great deal! The Water Dog also has the best omelettes and grits around ! The grits are always creamy and come out hot (theirs always comes out hot-I can't stand to have cold food delivered to me). The omelettes are huge, I can never finish it in one seating, they are fluffy and loaded with whatever ingredient you choose. Let's not forget the eggs benedict! You get perfect poached eggs(not overcooked) and just the right amount of hollandaise so you have some with every bite. The outdoor seating (heated when necessary) is pet friendly if you'd like to bring your fur baby in which they also provide water bowls. Whatever you get there you will not be disappointed in the service , food and drinks. My husband and I love this place!

It's next to a small playground and new amphitheater, so I'm sure this place gets quite busy on weekends.

I had the Piedmont Club and my friend had some kind of wrap and a Caesar salad in the side. He said it was the best Caesar salad he had ever had. My club was great. The price was right because my buddy was buying. Service was good. I guess the parking is why the place wasn't packed for lunch.

Smiling faces, hot, freshly served food (keep in mind, we were with a large group), and absolutely delicious meals made this a place worth returning to. We were in the LYH for my son's wedding (congratulations, Kitwana!), and everyone kept saying, "I'm going to My Duke's!" I figured the locals knew best--and they were absolutely right. Omelets (A), turkey sausages (A), chicken sausages (A), potatoes (A), grits (A), grain toast (A), biscuits m (A)... and top it all off with a mimosa!

Sitting outside on their patio was appealing to me and more pleasant than dining inside. The weather was perfect during our visit! Our server was prompt in taking our orders. She did a good job throughout. I got the chocolate cake and my mom got the strawberry cheesecake. Both were equally delicious!!! The portions were huge and the prices were pretty cheap.

Perfect crust! So cinnamon-y sweet I ate the whole thing without syrup! Soft scrambled eggs were like heaven. Pork sausage links were so juicy. The grilled potato's so, so good, paired with the sausage it was the perfect amount of salt. I also got a side of sautéed mushrooms, you cannot go wrong with that combo if you love all of these things. The chef really cares for his craft. The vibe of the Acorn Hill Lodge And Bistro is absolutely adorable. Neon light sign in the window, Christmas lights wrapped around supports. Not too bright, not too dark. Again, perfect for early morning! They have more amenities and businesses on sight I hope to check out in the future. No photos, I ate it all too fast. Sorry, not sorry. 10/10! Get those Pancakes!

The waitress never apologized or explained. I had to ask for a box and the check because she was just looking at me without saying anything. Also the food wasn't fantastic either. The eggs weren't totally cooked, the quesadilla was soggy on one side, and I asked for an English muffin but got white bread instead. We asked for berries on the French toast and that was not added. For waiting 45 minutes the meal wasn't anything special. Im giving it a 2 star because the food wasn't disgusting and the environment was relaxing and laid back, oh and the friendly black cat when we walked in was cute.
