It is super hard to decide! The ladies at the counter were so kind and patient with me as I kept going back-and-forth as to which tree I wanted most. I ended up with a fig pastry, and my mom got the cream cheese danish with raspberries pastry. My dad got the cinnamon bun. My mom and I split each of ours so we could try both. I have to say, if you like sweet, the fig one is for you. The raspberry isn't as sweet and I actually like that one better. No matter what you choose, you can't go wrong! This is definitely a must stop for your list! Bon appétit!

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!

If you want a place to hang out and drink coffee while studying with wifi that you have to renew…read morethe online certificate log in every 3 hours, look no further! White Hart has everything just described! The food here is fine and the coffee (despite me not knowing anything about coffee) tastes like coffee. They have an option where you can effectively have unlimited coffee for a small upcharge so this place is a fantastic place to sit down and get lots of work done. The most surprising thing about this place is the French fries are really really good. Like better than a coffee shop should ever have invested in. It leads to this really cozy odd vibe where you see people with unlimited cups of coffee and massive plates of fries hanging out and doing work on these wooden tables. I will also add that the wooden chairs, despite being made out of wood, are really really sturdy. Often times, wood chairs are like falling apart at the seams or due to loose screws, but this place has really good furniture. Some of the tables are a bit wobbly but so be it. The baked goods here are phenomenal despite them not having any apparent oven or capabilities to make any of the stuff they serve. Its a bit pricey but everything is worth eating (so far I've had two cookies, a muffin, a scone, and a Danish, everything ranges from good to fantastic). If I lived downtown I would be at this café every day, but unfortunately I'm only able to come here due to it being spring break. The only qualm I have is that some of the wall sockets are super super loose but not a deal breaker at all!

It reminds me of college - very casual and laid back. Like a giant living room with a mix of upholstered and not furniture. Plan to return to try some food.

You really can't see the river or the bluff from up there, and you can't even catch a glimpse of the back of the iconic, historic Virginian rooftop sign. That said, if you set the view aside, the actual dining experience was very good! We started off with the pork belly and the warm Brie with jam. The pork belly is the thinner, crispier, bacon-style variety rather than the thick-cut slab style--it was on the drier side, but really well seasoned. The warm Brie and jam combination was excellent. For my main course, I went with the pork ribeye, which was cooked and seasoned nicely. Others at the table ordered the New York strip steak and the crusted salmon, and there wasn't a single complaint around the table. Major hat tip to the bartender as well--they made a proper Ranch Water using real bottled mineral water instead of shortcutting it with club soda from the gun. After dinner, relaxing by the outdoor fire pit with a drink was the highlight of the night. Worth a visit for the food, drinks, and fireside lounge atmosphere!

We had 2 chicken and waffle plates and 1 shrimp and grits. $16.50 My chicken and waffles were acceptable, but I've had better. Chicken tenders seemed to be overly battered, diced potatoes were fine. $14.50 a plate. Service was good, did not have to wait for anything. Ambiance once again, very nice, clean, no smells.

The grilled potato's so, so good, paired with the sausage it was the perfect amount of salt.
