Excellent dinner. Service was a bit slow but the food was great. I had a very good Caesar salad with roasted garlic, and the tuna on crawfish risotto was very flavorful. I'll go back. read more

While the Yelp reviews appeared mixed, this was our top dining experience over a long weekend in Roanoke. Creative plating, quantity with quality, excellent wine list, and attentive service. The dining room is contemporary in style and lighting, and good table arrangement. The three of started with a charcuterie plate, amazingly well done, slices of smoked duck with chorizo, two cheeses, and centered with a homemade pimento cheese; it came with three pickled condiments the chef made himself, a nice touch and very good. Along with this we split salads (thank you kitchen for splitting) and had the appetizer special, oxtail ravioli; sublime. Entrees: I had the duck two ways, the ladies both had the ahi tuna with a cajun-esque risotto that had crawfish and andouille sausage. All was outstanding, and a two different creme brulee for desert. The entire experience was excellent, thank you! We look forward to returning to town for another visit. read more

I loved this place. Was visiting from CA for a few days and was lucky that a local took me here. Loved everything - the service, the ambiance and oh the food . . . everything was great. I might have to fly out just to have the Herb baked goat cheese salad with spiced pecans, apple, and dried cherries. read more

I have had a mixed bag of experiences at Table 50 from great food and service to so-so. After being unimpressed about 2 years ago, we decided to give it a go and made reservations on Open Table. We waited in the hostess area for nearly 10 minutes before we were greeted for our reservation. The woman said she was setting up our table and would be right back. She never apologized for the wait or asked us if we wanted to go to the bar. Once we sat, we waited at least 5 minutes before we were greated with water, but no drink order. We were told our server would be by soon, but no such luck. After 20 minutes from our reservation time had passed, we decided to leave. The manager was unapologetic and while she did offer to buy us drinks, her attitude and excuses didn't make us want to stay for dinner or return in the future. read more

Business dinner in Roanoke. Goos service with a plentiful wine list and good beer selection. Everyone at my table enjoyed their meal. Good decor and service. Liked the charcuterie and pork belly. If your in town i recommend this spot. read more

THIS IS A MUST TRY!!!! What a pleasant surprise...in the roanoke area downtown for business and stumbled upon this place. When walking in it had the feel of down to earth upscale (if you can imagine such a thing). I was immediately greeted at my table by a wonderful server named Kelly. He was such a delight. He let me know that if I wanted a different side than what was listed they could make that change. I ended up ordering the blackened tuna with anduoilli sausage and crawfish for my meal along with sweet potato gnocci for my appetizer. Also, I eat my tuna well done and they were happy to oblige. When i tell you this food was fantastic...no joke. Well worth the price! I wish I was going to be in the area longer so I could go back and try more. Just not at all what i was expecting being out in this area of Virginia. Please give this place a try. read more

We have been dining at Table 50 for years and have always had perfectly prepared, delicious meals. The 14oz. ribeye is my husbands favorite. The shrimp & grits, shrimp scampi, fried oysters and lamp chops are all my favorites. The servers are friendly and efficient. Table 50 is fine dining at it's best. read more

The atmosphere and service were very good. The crab bisque was also good, although minimal crab and a touch salty. My wife had the grouper which was fresh but tasteless. I had the ahi tuna which was tender and well done. The tuna also was salty. I'm guessing there are better options in town. read more

Very nice bartender who seems very current with activities and entertainment in the area! We had drinks and dessert. The drink she recommended was an expresso martini and was excellent. The peach cobbler and ice cream were just as good! read more

Hubby & I drove up from Abingdon, VA (about 2 hours south), for his 58th birthday. Great location, and the restaurant itself is quite charming. The hostess was initially very friendly, and informed us we had the "best seats in the house", then proceeded to seat us at a 4-top right by the front window... lovely! While we were perusing the menu & extensive wine list, the hostess returned and informed us she had made a mistake; she motioned to a very small table, right up against the wall, and next to the (noisy) bar, and indicated that was actually our table. She stated that our current table had been specially requested by another party, and while the mistake had been hers, the small, unfortunately-located table should have been ours. Huge "strike one". Nonetheless, we relocated to the tiny wall-side table, and our waiter appeared shortly thereafter. We ordered drinks (a margarita for hubby and a pineapple martini for me), as well as a goat-cheese salad and a bowl of clam chowder. The drinks were excellent, the salad was simple but beautifully-plated, fresh and tasty, and the chowder was fabulous. The noise from the bar (directly at my husband's back; the patron at the end of the bar kept leaning back in his chair and brushing up against hubby) was plentiful, and made normal-level conversation difficult at best. Our waiter returned and presented us with a small basket of stale-tasting bread, then took our orders. I chose the filet with asparagus and a gruyere potato cake; hubby ordered the special (a NY strip, I believe), smashed potatoes and a side of mac-n-cheese. The noise continued to be an annoyance, as did the obviously-intoxicated man at the end of the bar. Our meals arrived after about 20 minutes, and again, were beautifully-plated. The mac-n-cheese was missing, and though there are only 3 tables out front, we were unsuccessful in getting our waiter's attention. Hubby finally alerted the hostess, who then went to the back of the restaurant, returning to her station about two minutes later. Both steaks were very good, though I had ordered mine medium-well (I know, I know... but that's how I like it!), and it was definitely more medium-rare. Perhaps I should have said something, but since it actually tasted great anyway, I just let it go... and tried not to look at it as I ate. ;-) The potato cake and the smashed potatoes were bland, and very pedestrian... more like something you'd expect from your local Cracker Barrel. The mac-n-cheese was finally delivered (without apology or excuse) about 10 minutes later, and was little more than a yellow-orange greasy blob. I didn't try it, but hubby had one bite and declared it unfit for consumption. Our waiter spent plenty of time at the table with three ladies, never bothering to check back with us even once to inquire about our meal. Meanwhile, the party who had purportedly requested the table where we had first been seated took their places there; two of that party of four just happened to be the very loud and inebriated couple who had been seated at the end of the bar (behind hubby). Oh, yay. The waiter finally appeared again, cleared our table, and brought our check, along with a piece of chocolate torte on a plate that read, "Happy Birthday". We each sampled the torte as we waited for the server to return with our card; it was quite good... but still did little to make up for an overall less-than-pleasant dining experience at Table 50. There are several great places to eat in Roanoke... sadly, we don't consider Table 50 to be one of them, and definitely will not return. read more

I was really disapointed with Table 50. Had heard good things but went with some friends to celebrate a birthday and the service was terrible. Waitress was very rude and even more rude when we politely asked for our check. One of the waiters even dropped a dirty utensil on my friend's dress and expressed no sympathy. Food was so-so but could have gone to a much cheaper place with better service. The wait staff definitely needs work. read more

Heard mixed reviews from friends, but went here and was really impressed. Their crab bisque is really good, and there steak was cooked just right. Also, their Mac n cheese was one of the best I have ever had anywhere outside of being home cooked. read more

TAPAS! Roanoke is pretty much devoid of any tapas restaurants, but Table 50 has a great selection and enough variety of starters to whet the appetite. We had the app special of the night; kobe sliders, with crab dip, and sweet potato gnocchi. Everything was cooked well and service was friendly and attentive. Speaking with the staff I get the impression the restaurant is continually tweaking the menu and looking for creative additions to the dining experience. We will definitely be returning. read more

Meh...bad service, average food and pricey. Ordered a filet medium rare + and it came out medium well. Awesome. I was never asked if my $36, 8 oz. filet was cooked to my liking. Was not even offered desert. Has to be a better place to eat in Roanoke. read more

Great atmosphere, okay food. I wish they had more vegetarian options on the menu. The candle lit decor is very romantic for dates.

Well, I have say first Tiffany, our server was wonderful. The food was equal to her service. Wedge salad with the best blue cheese We have had in a long time. Crab bisque, fried oysters and the icing on the cake was the scallops . A+ meal, which I have only given 2 others in my day, I am over 60, a lot of days. Lol read more

We took a family member there for her birthday and wanted it to be a treat. We made reservations even though they were not busy on this mid-week evening. Our party of 10 was seated quickly and the staff met most expectations as we were seated and placed our order. But it went downhill from there. Overall it was terrible experience, mostly due to the poor food. We all left thinking we would not return. Each person said their food was barely edible...really, that bad. For example, I had the steak special and it was extremely tough and lacked flavor. Another person at our table had the same steak special and had a similar experience. The birthday girl tried to be gracious, but even she eventually admitted it was bad. There are too many good places nearby. Skip this one until they get their act together. read more

3 course meal portions were tiny, server barely came to our table to serve us and I had to ask multiple times for my order, and I asked for an extra side of bread (only gave us one between 8 people) and they said they didn't have any extra to give us. Won't be coming back. read more

The drinks here are fabulous. The atmosphere is very relaxing. The food is also very very good. Friendly service. I love this place!

The service is wonderful, the ambiance is great. I've eaten here several times over the year and the food is just not worth the money you pay. I like the idea of it all, but I wish they would upgrade the quality and taste. Everything else is awesome. Tiffany is an excellent server. read more

I would have liked to have been able to write a stellar review about the restaurant. I tried to call for a reservation and received the phone recording to leave my name, numbers and details of my request and I would receive a return call with a confirmation, or not, whatever the case may be. I did this on 2 separate days. Neither time did a receive a return call, in fact I am still waiting for that call. It may be a good time to review your processes regarding notifying folks in a timely manner. Pretty sure I won't try a third time. read more

Absolutely my favorite place! The prices are good especially because the food (to us anyways) is more upscale, the food is great, the staff is awesome! The variety on the menu is always good and the selection of wine is good! My husband and I have dined here at least 6 times in the past year and a half! We have gone on dates during dinner time, and then brought his parents here while they were in town! We had delicious wine and everyone ordered something different! We liked it so much that we left, and strolled downtown to find some where for a night cap...nothing compared so we went back and shut the place down! All the staff was great and it was a wonderful night! Bravo! read more

Cool menu, ok service, mediocre execution. Three main complaints on execution: -Ingredients: some we're definitely subpar. Arugula in salad tasted like green plastic. Lacked characteristic pepper flavor. Made for a very poor salad. -Seasoning: several instances of too much salt. Salad dressing, Brussels sprout hash, sauce on the lamb dish. I like salt, but this definitely pushed too far. -Flavor layering: several dishes just missed on the flavor combinations. Maybe a product of above two points, but beer salad didn't come off right. Brussels sprout hash felt conflicted: bitter, sweet, salty. Just too much. Like the perfume counter at the mall. Too much. Wasn't awful, but I wouldn't go back. read more

I took my girlfriend there for Valentine's Day and it was amazing. The service was great along with the food. My only complaint would be paying $15 for 2 scallops from the appetizer menu. I felt like that was over priced, but the filet with the blue cheese crust made up for it. We will definitely be returning. read more

My girlfriend took me to table 50 for a romantic dinner. The food was fantastic but the atmosphere was like a cafeteria. There was a table with 4 kids playing video games and talking sometimes yelling and playing hide and seek amongst nearby tables. We called it to waitress's attention who got the manager. The manager apologized and said she would talk to owner who was friends with the people. So we agreed and finished our meal. The chaos continued. We declined the freebie and left. No one ever spoke to the people. For the price of a meal at table 50, we expect an environment where the staff asks people to either control their children or not bring them. Too bad the family was so rude that they couldn't control their children. It was my first and last time to visit table 50 and my girlfriend's last of many visits. read more

Wonderful place for a special occasion! Everything on the menu is excellent! Crab bisque is delicious! I have been in several times. My all time favorite is still the grilled salmon! For dessert, don't leave without the chocolate torte! Yum! read more

Nice little place tucked away on the market. Service is hit or miss and I've never really found anything that tickles my fancy but I wouldn't turn it down if someone invited me. read more

Wonderful cocktails! Try the jalapeño margarita from Jordan. The ribeye special was well seasoned and tender. We had 3 apps that were delicious. We loved the saffron sauce for the mussels. For our anniversary Evan gave us 3 different desserts to try that were amazing. If you want a delicious meal with great service go to Table 50-you won't be disappointed. read more

Two of us went for dinner. We split everything. Sweet potato Gnocchi app was delicious. Great flavor, maybe a little bit on mushy side. Goat cheese salad was excellent. Good service. Made a custom off the menu drink for us and margarita was a generous size. We had the shrimp and grits for the entree. It was pretty good. Not the best grits we've ever had but overall pretty good dish. Ambiance was suggestive of a former bar turned restaurant. Exposed brick walls, trendy copper top tables but old carpet on the floors and sinky banquettes seating. Overall we liked this place and would go back! read more

We were visiting Roanoke and had dinner at this restaurant tonight. There were a few issues. I've got to say, give credit where credit is due, because the wait staff was excellent! Cameron was our waiter and he couldn't have been more attentive. The unfortunate thing is the general manager and the owner both were extremely ugly and rude to us at the end of the night. I have never been treated like that, especially in the service industry. There were nine of us and we spent a lot of money. The owner was screaming at us because of a discrepancy in charging a 25% gratuity to tax as well.He became enraged when questioned about this. The general manager was equally as rude to us. She said it is the law in Virginia to include tax when calculating gratuity, which is not true. She was extremely ugly to us and stormed off to just outside the kitchen doors where she and the owner had a heated discussion about us, while we were sitting right there close by, hearing every word they said. when we were leaving, both he and his general manager were screaming at us to get out! read more

Table 50 in Old Downtown Roanoke VA was a marvelous find. It is walking distance from the Roanoke Hotel where I was staying. While exploring the area I happened to see their specials marquee outside their restaurant and decided to give it a try. I was lucky to get a table on a Monday night. Reservations are probably a good idea! My server was great. Very helpful and attentive without being intrusive. I regret I didn't get her name. First up was a small serving of bread with honey butter, which is always a hit with me. Next was the Crab Bisque, which I loved, followed by The Herb Baked Goat Cheese salad. For an upcharge, had the choice to add 3 fried oysters or 3 fried shrimp. I couldn't decide which to have so my server suggested doing both, two oysters and one shrimp. Great! The special was the Filet Bienville. An 8oz beef filet over a shrimp sauce with mashed potatos and asparagas. The meat was melt in your mouth delicious and the veggies were great. Creamy potatos and perfectly cooked asparagas. I was disappointed that I was too full to try the Chocolate Mousse Torte which looked wonderful. I will have to save room the next time I am there. I will be back. read more

Went back the next night, food and service was beyond expected! The Charcuterie Plate was outstanding, the Wine list is extensive and updated weekly. THE BEST Downtown Restaurant in Roanoke!! read more

My wife and I decided on a very early dinner one evening, and fould ourselves the only couple in the restaurant. Service was quick and orders placed. As we waited on salad, noticed the entire wait staff was at the bar gossiping about daily life. This is not only very taboo but impeccably rude. Never have a seen such expensive food with such rude wait staff. These behaviors continued until 3 or 4 more party's arrived. The appetizer of scallops was delicious, but only 3 scallops arrived and the cost of $15 was more than that of expensive restaurants in Washington DC. My wife ordered fish, overcooked and bland. I took the low road and ordered a steak, medium rare. The meat was again overcooked, at this point i decided to conclude my meal get out of this business. I will not be returning. read more

I was very excited as I just moved to the area and this was my first night out in Roanoke. I only ate the crab dip as an entree, and after just now getting home, I have violently vomited twice within 5 minutes of walking through the door. I wouldn't suggest paying $15 for your own vomit. read more

I just ate an awesome shrimp n scallops pasta dish that was amazing. Bartender was great too. In my best Arnold voice, "I'll be back!"

Table 50, I really wanted to love you. mainly because your menu items sound absolutely amazing and your service was spot on but unfortunately it's just not executed that well. I had the beet salad, bienville steaks which is cooked with a white sauce and served with gouda mashed potates and broccoli. sounded awesome as i love a good cream sauce with bacon and gouda happens to be my absolute fave cheese. the food was just good though. definitely not worth the price and I am someone who has no problem putting down 100 bux for a good meal if at the end I am completely wowed.the beet salad was good being what I expected. the steak was just kind of there, cooked med-rare like I asked but had no flavor whatsoever. I appreciate letting the meat speak for itself but the chef isn't absolved from seasoning and cooking the meat in a way that brings out its flavor just because it's a good cut. the potatoes were good but the gouda wasn't really evident, the brocolli was actually seasoned and cooked well and ended up being the star on the plate. disappointing when you have a steak too...for dessert I went with the creme brulee and i was completely underwhelmed and frankly I can make better at home. the vanilla one was bland the the espresso one just wasn't done well, too much chocolate not enough coffee flavor. our waitress was good and attentive and the place is cute, love the ambiance. but the food is what I really went for and in that department they have some work to do... read more

From start to finish an amazing meal. Started with an x rated lemon drop for my wife and something local on tap for me. Boh excellent. We shared the sweet potato gnocchi as a starter and it was one of the best gnocchi dishes we have had. For mains my wife had the filet and she really enjoyed it. I had the pasta with vodka sauce and sweet Italian sausage - could not have been happier. Great service nice atmosphere. The bread and butter was even outstanding as they added a small amount of honey to the spread which was a great touch. read more

Had reservations here at 830 didn't get seating until 935. Got the Mediterranean pasta and it was completely tasteless. Had creme brulee, was ok but tasted burnt. Over all service was terrible and good was tolerable at best. No where near the worth the cost. read more

Service and drinks were good, but food was very disappointing. For the price food was very cheap; you could have gotten the same thing at a Ruby Tuesday. read more
