    This is a great, hole in the wall restaurant and bar. The place has ample seating along with a small bar. My fiancé got the fried chicken and it was so good. I got the fricken chicken sandwich and it was just OK. We both got two pieces of pie/cake and omg, all of it was AMAZING. Our server, Finn, was so nice and attentive. Lastly, as someone who does not drink, I was impressed and happy they had a non-alcoholic beer option. We highly recommend stopping by!

    Nice people and very welcome. Visit these place if you're around and the food is delicious not to forget a drink to top up the meal. And by the way they sell liquor, beer and wine

    Mixed feelings with my initial visit. There were hardly any people in the restaurant after the lunch rush but it took an extremely long time for food to come out - 40 minutes or so? I asked for the Smokehouse burger and, while it was delicious, it didn't come with the sauce the menu said it would have. I should have said something when I got it (a fault on my part) but part of me also saw the burger as like a signature item; the description on the menu was what I expected, so I'm not sure where something went wrong. Their fries were amazing. The turtle cheesecake was the bomb, as well. I feel like this could have been a really good experience (probably 4 stars) but between the long wait and not technically getting what I ordered, I feel like something was kinda lost.

    This is such a great place. Honestly I was skeptical was it was kind of in the middle of nowhere, hence the "lost river" I guess but anyway. The staff was friendly, the food was incredible. I had the honey garlic pork chops and my hubs had the liver and onions and they were both phenomenal. The drinks were great too. We are in the bar area but the restaurant part looked nice too. I highly recommend this place if you are ever in Lost City, WV. If I could give more stars I would.

    The boxed mashed potatoes

    My son really enjoyed his meal of meatloaf, mashed potatoes (kinda) and green beans. I also got him a cheesecake which he enjoyed. I did like my side salad with the balsamic vinaigrette. I order a sirloin rare. Not only did I get medium well someone even cut into it to look inside. Apparently they put the wrong steak in the wrong to go container. The green beans are salt overload. The mashed potatoes is the part that gets me the most. The are instant mashed potatoes. If you are gonna make someone pay that much they damn well better be fresh mashed potatoes. This is a meal my teenage kids would have put together. I'm eating it because I'm hungry and I'm from out of town so this is all I have for dinner and they are too far down this winding mountain. But damn is it disappointing. I would have given it one star if it wasn't for the fact my 12 year old liked his.

    pesto torteilini

    We stopped in because we were in the area. This is amazing. Staff was so friendly. Salad was so fresh. Everything looked good. The tortellini with pesto was perfect. Sat on the screened porch was so nice end of day. Definitely make this a stop if you are going through this part of the country.

    Another gem we discovered through friends. Excellent food and service. 30 minute drive from Bryce to Lost River. Well worth the trip.

A group of 16 of us booked for the weekend and I honestly can't think of enough great things to say. Seriously, everything about this place was AMAZING! I organized the trip, so I got to work with one of the owners, Jesse, to get everything set up. He was helpful, responsive, accommodating, and really kind. I organize a lot for my friends and myself, and this was one of the easiest. Upon arrival we were checked in by the other owner, Gary, who immediately made us feel like we were at home. He gave us a wonderful tour of the property and told us everything we needed to know for a wonderful stay. This property is nestled in the hills of WV and the views are STUNNING! Every space and room is beautifully appointed, really leaning into the upscale rustic vibe you'd expect in a mountain retreat. So many beautiful nooks and crannies to sit and read or play games or just nap. The pool and hot tub are gorgeous and Logan at the pool bar will take amazing care of you! They provide a complimentary breakfast of freshly cooked eggs, meats, and biscuits/scones. The lunch and dinner menus are varied and everything we had was delicious. Our servers, Rain (spelling ??) and Angie were stellar and the ambience was just perfect. Every single one of us left feeling refreshed and we were all sad to leave. Do yourself a favor and make the trek out to Lost River and treat yourself. This place is amazing and I'm already planning my next trip here with my partner.

A winding road through a rocky valley with a mountain stream that flows to the Lost River. Then you turn into the Guesthouse and the stunning main building and cute cabins are so perfectly placed on the property with lovely landscaping. Walk into the main lobby to be greeted by Gary, one of the owners. He was super pleasant and took us on a tour of the property pointing out the dining room, bar, pool (although it was still closed for winter), hot tub and sauna, gym, multiple media rooms, game rooms and lounge areas, and then our room in the Hobson Cabin. The room was well appointed and clean. The shower was beautiful and had great water pressure and temperature. The balcony had wonderful views of the parks close by. A country breakfast is served daily at 9 and is a great start to the day. The dining room is open in the evening for drinks and dinner with a menu for anyone! Gary and Jesse are always close by if you ever need anything and make you feel most welcome. We can't wait to visit again in the summer so we can make full use of the pool and enjoy some nearby hiking!

I brought my mother for tea as a special birthday treat. A few days before our reservation, staff from the Inn reached out to confirm the reservation and ask if we were celebrating any occasion and I told them about my mother's birthday. We arrived at the Inn a little before 2pm and were told they couldn't seat us until right at 2pm for tea. However, at 2pm, when we were lead to the conservatory for tea, there were already people seated. I'm fine with rules like this, but then they need to be the same for all parties. They started us off with a version of an Aperol that was refreshing and the selection of teas was very nice. The food was brought out on a small serving tower with three savory and three sweet items for each of us. We loved the lemon tarts and lobster rolls, but the scones were undercooked and doughy inside. While this was less food than we expected (especially for the $114 per person price point), they did ask if we'd like another of any of our favorite items and then brought us out more of those. This was a thoughtful way of keeping the number of items low, but giving guests more of what they loved. We stayed for about an hour and they began clearing plates and teapots, etc. At no point did anyone acknowledge my mother's birthday or tell us that service had concluded. We walked out of the dining room and while my mother was getting the car from the valet I asked about her birthday recognition with the team. They apologized profusely and offered us complimentary breakfast the next day. As we had driven 2 hours for tea, that was not in the cards. Instead, they refunded the ENTIRE MEAL. I certainly did not ask that they do that, but it was a considerable gesture on their part. I love the Inn at Little Washington and have had amazing meals there, but I would not recommend it for Afternoon Tea. The staff just doesn't seem to have a grip on how to do it for guests who aren't staying overnight at the Inn. Maybe they'll figure it out in a couple months, but I'll take my teas elsewhere.

If you're planning to come during peak dinner hours, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because it started filling up quickly. We had spent the day hiking, so we were dressed much more casually than many of the other diners. The restaurant has a more upscale feel, but no one made us feel out of place. The staff was welcoming, seated us immediately, and made us feel comfortable from the start. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the cocktails were well made. The food was the real highlight. The burgers were cooked perfectly, the beef tasted fresh and flavorful, and the garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. We also really enjoyed the soup of the day and the hummus of the day. The only thing that didn't completely wow us was the steak. It certainly wasn't bad but we just happen to be very particular when it comes to steak. Overall, this was an excellent meal with great service in a welcoming atmosphere. We'd happily return the next time we're in Luray.
