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!

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.

At Bentleys those practices are written in tiny little print I dare anyone to be able to read without glasses- at end of menu.

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!

The drinks are expertly crafted and they offer both classic cocktails and signature creations. I tried a few different options (mules, espresso martinis, and more) and each was great. For a place mostly known as a bar, I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered the smoked club sandwich. It was layered with ham, turkey, and bacon and served on Texas toast. It was better than I expected being "bar food." What truly stood out, though, was the service. A special shout-out to Tish, who was working her second day and already making amazing drinks and recommendations. She definitely made the experience better.

I really liked the atmosphere, and there were a few highlights. The drinks were good, the blackened scallop appetizer was delicious, and the duck wonton was probably my favorite bite of the night. I also thought it was really interesting to watch the steak being cut and measured right at the table, that was a nice touch. We ordered the 14 oz. ribeye with Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese. The steak was good, but for the price point, I expected more. The mac and cheese was especially disappointing. It wasn't particularly cheesy or creamy and, honestly, was pretty bland. When you're paying fine-dining prices, I expect even the simple sides to feel thoughtfully prepared. That's probably my biggest takeaway. The restaurant is described as fine dining, so I went in expecting something a little more unique, whether that was in the menu, presentation, flavors, or overall experience. There just wasn't much that felt distinctive enough to justify the price for me. Maybe my expectations are simply a little higher because we're foodies and really enjoy seeking out restaurants that surprise us or give us something memorable. We had a nice evening with friends, and there were definitely some things I enjoyed, but based on the food and value, I don't think I'd go back. I really wanted to love it, especially because I had heard good things and went in with high hopes. Unfortunately, it just didn't leave me feeling like the experience matched the price.

A unique and interesting take on pizza…read more This pizza is served on what I call a "cracker crust"... Like thin crust pizza, but much crispier. The crust is a little tough and requires quite a bit of extra chewing, which I was not prepared for. Nevertheless, it was pretty good. I ordered the southern barbecue pizza without bacon. It included brisket, chicken, corn, red onions, and a drizzle of barbecue sauce. Unfortunately, the chicken was unseasoned. I think the pizza would have tasted would have tasted better with a little seasoning on the chicken. However, the star of my dinner was the Downeast Caramel Apple cider on tap. However good you think it sounds, it tastes SO much better than that. If you happen to be near this restaurant during the last few weeks of fall, you HAVE to try this. As a matter of fact, if you see this cider at ANY bar or restaurant you're at, you must try it. Absolutely amazing! My server did an incredible job being pretty much the only server on the floor in a mostly packed restaurant. The bartender was on the floor waiting tables as well but between the two of them, they did an incredible job. Overall, this wasn't the best pizza I've ever had, but after a long day of travel, it hit the spot.
