First time to this restaurant but heard very good reviews from friends and family…read more We walk in and there is hardly anyone in the place and the hostess wants to put us right at the entry way. I ask to be seated away from the door? Hostess says where do you want to sit I said doesn't matter just not in the entry way. Server was good. Drinks were horrible, they put ice all the way to the top of the glass. Barely any soda or water in the glass. Drinks are the cheapest part of the meal WHY skimp on them? We both ordered 12oz ribeye's medium. Steaks came out well done, very dry and tough. For $35.00 per steak it should come out the way it was ordered.

We ate dinner there on 4\11\2026. We had the pretzel and beer cheese appetizer. Pretzels were…read morecrispy, tender. The beer cheese was delicious. My wife had the lasagna rolls. The sauce was tasty, the filling was delicious. Pasta was tender. The dish was three lasagna rolls, covered in sauce and cheese. She loved it but she said it was too much sauce but very tasty. I had the Chicken pesto pasta. The pesto was very tasty. Chicken was overcooked. Pasta was slightly overcooked. Overall it was a very tasty dish. My primary complaint is the portion size. I ordered large but my bowl was only about half full. There wasn't alot of chicken in my dish. My daughter inlaw had the smash burger. She loved it but the patties needed seasoning. The smash burger was assembled nicely and overall very tasty. Fries were nice and crunchy. Overall a good meal and pleasant dining experience.

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!

Our waitress, I believe her name was Emily, was so sweet and very helpful when it came to deciding what to order. She was very personable, and we chatted with her about all kinds of things whenever she'd come by the table. This place had comfortable booths, and a lovely bar. They have a great happy hour menu, which we ordered from. Do not miss the truffle popcorn. I am still dreaming of this! Truffle oil and parmesan cheese on perfectly popped and salted popcorn. We also had the hot honey and Parmesan chicken wings which were crisp and delicious, and a harvest salad. So good. We would be here all the time if we lived close. Do not miss this place if you are in town!

We had the opportunity to enjoy Easter brunch here, and it delivered the kind of experience you…read morehope for on a holiday morning. The atmosphere struck the right balance. Upscale without being stiff, comfortable without losing that polished feel. I ordered the jambalaya, and it was a standout. Well layered flavor, not overly heavy, with a nice balance of spice and richness. The proteins were cooked properly and the vegetables still had structure, which matters in a dish like that. It felt intentional, not just thrown together for a brunch menu. Across the table, the Eggs Benedict was equally strong. The hollandaise was smooth and properly seasoned, not overly lemony or thick, and the eggs were cooked right where they should be. That is often where places miss, but this one didn't. Dessert was where things really elevated. The strawberry cheesecake was clean, bright, and not overly sweet, with a good texture that held together without being dense. The chocolate Rasberry glutin-free dessert torte, was rich in the right way. Deep chocolate flavor without crossing into heavy or overwhelming. Service was attentive without hovering, and timing between courses was well paced, which is not easy on a busy holiday like Easter. Overall, this is a place that clearly pays attention to execution. Not just presentation, but flavor, balance, and consistency. That is what separates a good brunch from one you remember. We will be back.

First time going to Tori Blue at The Bella Vista Hotel across the mall…read more We went Sunday after church, but before 11:00am. Pretty much empty, but if you don't like crowds, very welcoming. The decor is very nice, casual setting. Brunch menu available. My son and our daughter-in-law and my 18 month old grandson. Immediately given the choice of table with added highchair. 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. Recommend going and checking it out. Lots of other plates in the brunch menu.

The…read moregirls at the hostess station were distracted so we kind of stood there waiting to be seated for an unnecessary amount of time. Annoyed me slightly! This place also had an odd smell. 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. The Neighbors Place is a great family friendly restaurant. I was very impressed with their overall food and drink menu options. My only regret is not coming here sooner. Highly recommend!

Well, looking at all the reviews provided we decided to try out Benjamin's. We really wanted a…read moresteak, but recent rating on another steakhouse recommended caused us to look elsewhere--so we picked Benjamins. It was a pleasant experience, rustic look, casual--we had only been there one time before We had a shrimp appetizer, it was fantastic, huge shrimp, recommend asking for extra O'Bay spices if you order this. Then, we had a surf and turf with baked potato, steak was excellent (tender, good flavor), crab cake was acceptable but could have been better (estimate 6.5 out of 10). I ordered a seafood trio with salmon, crab cake, and crab legs. Crab Legs came with one cluster of snow crabs (they were not warm by the time I got to them and had been dried out (maybe overcooked?) and I would score them about a 4.5 on a score of 1-10). The amazing part of the meal was the Brussel Sprouts (wow, so tasty). salmon was ok, small portion, and cole slow was good. So it may sound as if I am critical of some of the food, but overall I say it was a great experience. Service was great, The thing I noticed about the clientele and ambiance is there were many people that come here regularly on Friday evenings--many of the people seemed to know each other and they were enjoying the evening--again great place!

Nothing overworked or trying too hard. It came out the way a burger should. That alone puts it ahead of a lot of places. Portion and price lined up well. No stretch there. Food: **SERVICE** Staff handled things well. When asked about the menu, they gave clear recommendations without dragging it out or pushing anything. Food came out in a reasonable time, no confusion, no missed steps. It was a lighter crowd, so it's not a stress test, but what was there was handled cleanly. Service: **AMBIENCE** The space is clean and comfortable. Nothing distracting, nothing out of place. There's a bit of a modern quiet to it. A few groups sitting together, all on their phones. Not the restaurant's fault, but it does change the feel of the room. Two people in the whole place actually looking up from their tables. That stood out more than anything else. **CLOSING** This is a place that does the basics right. Good burger, fair price, solid service, clean environment. Nothing flashy, but nothing falling apart either. That's usually what keeps a place in rotation. **RATINGS** Food: **** Service: **** Ambiance: **** Overall: **** Personal Disclaimer: I value small, independent restaurants and want them to succeed.

I've worked as an executive chef, restaurant manager, and owner. I tend to hold places to a higher standard. Execution matters. Freshness matters. Effort shows. Cutting corners usually does too.

I ordered a Philly cheesesteak (they have other variations,like chicken cheesesteak). My sandwich came with hot well seasoned fries.( you get a choice of onion rings or fries). Now my sandwich was full of tender meat and lots of gooey cheese. The meat was well seasoned and the meat and cheese went the whole length of the roll. The rolls were soft and chewy but stood up to the weight of the meat and cheese. I added mushrooms and onions and was not disappointed with this delicious sandwich. This place will definitely see me again. My search is over looking for a worthy cheesesteak in Lynchburg. I highly recommend this place.
