I visited during the Christmas parade and watched it from the Roof Top. The waitress was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as we were waiting for the parade to start. I bought the parade ticket which included a burger and fries, which were very good. read more

Gorgeous views of the mountains and hillsides, and equally delicious food! The bar seating was uncomfortable, but thats really my only complaint. I had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and the scallops entree, both delicious. Bar service was attentive and polite. I'd go again and recommend to anyone. read more

Take a walk up the levels and levels of stairs for a pre meal workout. The views are so worth it, or be lazy and take the elevator. Great views and ambiance. Sensational food and adult beverages. read more

The list of wines this place has is definitely a major plus! Thoroughly enjoyed my time here with my partner, will definitely come back. Service was great and place was clean! read more

Grew up in Abingdon but left too many years to count. To say that this town has changed would be an understatement. The level of restaurants that call it home is truly respectable. On this visit we tried to get into The Tavern but alias, we could not. After having great drinks there at the bar we walked across the street to try out The Summer and the Cellar and although Tavern would always be my first choice, this establishment runs a very close second. Let's break it down: Atmosphere 4 Stars: we found the name was very fitting to the vibe in a very good way. It's a small intimate experience that exceeds expectations. The amount of work that must have been done to make this a viable and outstanding place to dine shows itself throughout. Service 5 Stars: our waiter waisted no time to make us feel at home. He was very attentive to my wife's wine needs and allowed her to taste several before committing. He was involved without being suffocating. His knowledge of the menu was spot on. Food 4 Stars: they excelled. We started with the bread which I would strongly recommend. My only "ask" is that they provide olive oil. We had the wedge which was very fresh. Main course was the NY Strip. Cooked to perfection and very flavorful. We did not have desert. Selection seemed uninspiring and limited but after that meal, we were cool with that. Value 5 Stars: all this for $110 plus tip. In nashville it would have easily would have stung the wallet for over $150 or more. Overall we were very satisfied wirh the entire experience. Plus there is the bonus of the roof top which we indulged for drinks before dinner. I have definitely aged and matured in the years since living here and it's great to see that this wonderful town has done so with grace and style. read more

My wife and I got to eat our last meal at Summers Rooftop. When we made reservations they did not mention that it was the last day for the public. This company was going private. Catering only! This is a big disappointment. The best place is Abingdon if not in SW Virginia to eat a good meal. Very disappointed. It was alway a great place, great people working and great atmosphere. Sorry to see this go!!!! read more

We finally had time to go to Summers Roof and I was pleasantly surprised. It was sunset so the view was stunning! The food was better than I expected, though my husband thought his serving of seabass was rather small I thought the plate looked nice. My wedge salad was great and our cocktails were good. Our server was a sweet young woman and considering they had two parties of 12 the service was good. I would recommend the roof if you want time to relax and enjoy a cocktail! read more

Everything we ordered was amazing from the Chardonnay to the old fashion family of 4 for dinner. Our server was very informed and kind. The view from the roof was stunning. The restroom was huge and be clean. We arrived only one other table by the Time we left the Roof was full so Come early Or Make Reservations. fyi we had 2 cheese burgers, shrimp and grits(to die forAnd a sirloin steak all was fabulous because we shared bites Yumm thank you , we will be back. Great place to mingle too. Sunni Johnson Meadowview read more

Nice setting in downtown Abingdon. Excellent wine list and the Eyre Pinot Noir was fabulous. The blackened pork chop with puréed sweet potatoes and micro greens was excellent. Will definitely go again when we're in Abingdon. read more

While in town we heard about the great wines served here and decided to stop by for appetizers that turned into dinner. The Beet Carpaccio was to die for - beautifully plated and a tasty balance of sweet, tart, savory and nutty flavors. I chose to pair it with a glass of Sangiovese. The ambiance was great sitting at the bar, beautiful brass rails and granite from a rooftop bar. The bartenders were fun to chat with and attentive to their guests. We ended up adding burgers to our order after seeing other customers bite into the bacon jam covered massive patty... and we were not disappointed! Overall great experience. read more

We have been frequent diners here, but no longer. We had a less than desirable experience here last Thursday night, celebrating a birthday of a dear friend and there were six of us, with a reservation for one of the igloos on the roof. That part of the experience is hard to beat. However, service was very slow, the menu on the roof is now different than the cellar, what a mistake on their part. They were out of the one steak on the menu, replaced by a tough piece of T-bone steak. I ate a burger, not the kind of place we frequent to have a hamburger. Overall, very disappointing! We have a reservation for the rooftop again in January, but cancelling that today. This was absolutely our favorite place to dine, but we are done now, a very embarrassing experience with our friends. Their first and last time there as well! Good luck! read more

Fun atmosphere! We sat at the bar and had cocktails. The bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend.

Had dinner tonight at Summers Cellar. Overall it was one of the best meals I have had recently in our area. We had two small plates, my wife had the French Onion soup as her main and I had the pasta. Every dish was delicious. My pasta was perfectly cooked with a light tomato sauce over fresh pasta with wild mushrooms and Italian sausage. John was our server and he was a consummate professional. Being a cellar it is cozy with a lovely jazz musical sound track. read more

We had the loveliest anniversary dinner here. We thought we wanted to be on the roof, but when we saw the cellar that had to be the place! Wonderful hostess who tolerated our indecision most graciously and had champagne brought to us as a pleasant surprise. We sat where we could see the kitchen and that was a show in itself. So many folks working so quickly in such a small space, but all knowing what to do when to produce delicious, interesting food. That chef certainly knows what he's doing! But before the food, I must mention the wine list, I mean wine BOOK! If you're a wine lover, this is the place for you. You are sitting in the wine cellar, surrounded by bottles, reading about wine from all around the world. The food...where to start? Great server who handled our questions expertly. We started with the vegetable tempura. So light and even radishes were delicious. Three kinds of bread with olive oil and an herb oil too. We each had a salad and enjoyed both the house salad and wedge. My husband had the chocolate pork chop. Really quite delicious with good sides to bring it all together. I had scallops. A very generous portion with a light sauce and a mixture of greens and nuts and a tiny bean in the middle. Perfect with the scallops. And of course we had to split strawberry crumble with elderberry ice cream. Totally delightful evening. We were glad we had a few blocks to walk to the Barter Theater! read more

Our food was overpriced and underwhelming. However, our server was very good. We were seated at our table at 8pm, the indoor roof area was very loud. I was sitting two feet across from my husband and we could barely hear each other speaking. My husband's $48 ribeye was overcooked and his truffle fries had no truffle, nor even a hint of truffle oil. We don't see any reason to return. read more

Summers Roof & Cellar - This is my 5 unseasoned scallops for $44 (the "crispy prosciutto" was merely dried-out, cold, and hard prosciutto) - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Abingdon, Virginia

We had table of 10. Two of us ordered pork chop which melted in my mouth. Next couple ordered sea bass which was awesome. Truly enjoyed the atmosphere in the cellar. Prices were right. The pork chop was taken home for an awesome sandwich. I would set this for special night out. read more

Had dinner before a show at the Barter. The service was fantastic. Our server was on it and helpful. The disappointing part is the food. Limited menu, high prices and small portions. The food tasted good but not great and all 4 of us had the same feeling. Just not enough value for the top dollar spent. Wish we went somewhere else. read more

This place has an extensive wine list. Only had wine there but rooftop was great!! I would definitely recommend it

Modern restaurant with both air conditioned space and open space. Food was good. Nice bar. Had a romantic dinner after the theater.

Absolute cutest place to eat! The cellar was gorgeous and the rooftop bar was beautiful and fun. Drinks were amazing and well crafted. The menu did not have vegan food options, but our bartender called down to the kitchen and the chef created a custom vegan dinner for us that was one of the best meals I have ever had. Don't skip this gem! read more

Just dined at the roof restaurant. The food was good but not outstanding. I had the salmon which was well prepared and flavored but there was a triangle of what was supposed to be cornbread but was so dry it was inedible. Tempura vegetables well flavored and dipping sauces very good but batter not the smooth Japanese batter you would expect but very good. Like most other places, there is a dirth of servers but the two there were hustling and doing a good job. The roof has a wonderful view of Abingdon and environs and the the decor was pleasant but sparse - I liked it!. Once the music was turned down and you could hear your dining companions it was a pleasant atmosphere. Try it, you may like it. read more

My husband and I visited Abingdon a couple of weeks ago, and we had the pleasure of dining at Summers in the cellar. We were fortunate enough to come right after the new menu was launched and were excited to try several of the smaller plates, along with our entrees. Everything was absolutely outstanding, and service was perfect! We can't wait to return to Abingdon, and Summers Roof & Cellar on our next trip! Below are just a few of the items we had. read more

Good food, great bar!! Get the beet carpaccio salad- red beets, goat cheese and pickled onions. You will not regret it. We also tried the buffalo cauliflower with blue cheese dressing. Delicious. The swiv burger was outstanding. Oh so good!!! read more

We had such a great time here! We reserved one of the bubbles and it was warm and private in there the whole time. The food was good and so were the drinks. read more

Most of the food for our party (6) was great. But the tomato soup and homemade catchup were way way too spicy, and the lobster mac n cheese was too salty. Also, it took almost two hours from seating to check - unacceptable. Great view from the top of the Summer Building, but they need blinds or awnings to block the evening sun. read more

This was my top 2 place to have a nice dinner. Went two weeks ago, got up and left without ordering. The new menu is not great! Just had a glass of wine and left. I have had numerous people agree, also the first time I had been there that is wasn't packed!! Please fix! :) read more

This restaurant is amazing. They have done a great job with the ambiance of both the cellar and the roof. The roof has a beautiful view of the town. Charlie is fantastic at advising the best wines for your meal.

We had a fantastic celebration on the beautiful rooftop patio! This place is a must stop in charming Abingdon. Such a personable atmosphere, and we were so happy to meet the chef and owner! The new menu items are fresh and thoughtful - what a treat! We will be back for sure! read more

Loved the atmosphere here so much! Such a cute spot and the drinks were great as well! I was unsure if I would need reservations as the website leads to a reservations page but as I did not eat dinner there, I was able to go have a drink on the roof without a reservation. Would definitely recommend and will be back. read more

Everything about our experience at Summers was exceptional! From the service, to the gorgeous view on the roof top, top notch wine selection and the INCREDIBLE food!! We were truly blown away by the new menu. There are so many great options for everyone! Everything we ordered was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. We can't wait to go back! read more

Went there to celebrate an engagement! They were very accommodating getting us rooftop seating. The drinks were delicious, however, they were served one at a time. We ordered appetizers, finished them, and waited a long time for our food to arrive! Everything was good, but pricey. If you plan to charge these prices, you need to step up your service! The view from the rooftop is wonderful but you need to install some heaters....it got very cold up there! read more

What a wonderful addition to the Abingdon, Va. dining scene. Restaurant has a rooftop bar/restaurant along with dining in the wine cellar and kitchen area in the basement. Both have a great feel. We chose to have a cocktail upstairs and dinner in the cellar. Food is excellent and the service very friendly and welcoming. A must try! read more

Summers has great ambiance in the both the cellar and rooftop. Fun place to eat with good potential. We were disappointed in the service. Our party of four ordered appetizers and salads along with our entrees. Unfortunately, all the the food was delivered all at once. A fine dining establishment of this nature should have trained staff which understands the proper pace of food delivery. read more

We celebrated our anniversary last Saturday and had just a wonderful dinner on the roof. Perfect cocktails, delicious mussels for an app and perfect scallops for the main course. To top it off they treated us to a couple of glasses of champagne. Devon was our waiter and he couldn't have taken better care of us. read more
