    What an amazing spot!!! Husband and I were in Roanoke for dinner and decided to have cocktails before hand and found this little gem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great food. But most of all was blown away and totally impressed by Chandler the bartender. His drinks were spot on!! Definitely will be back!! And highly recommended!!

    Fun little spot to grab a drink and snack. Very chill atmosphere with Vegas like decor. We ordered drinks and a flat bread. We enjoyed the tomato basil flat bread, but the tomato was not roasted as per menu, instead a fresh slice on top, which we liked. It did need salt and pepper, but neither on the tables. They were out of Prosecco:( Odd, go down to the store and buy a bunch. It was Friday night and early in the evening. My only complaint was that the music didn't match the mood, vibe or relaxed atmosphere. It was too loud and not the right style. I loved the music, it was the type I grew up with (70's/80's) but just out of place.

    My mule was delicious

    Love this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Went for the first time on a cold Saturday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would recommend making a reservation for a table because there aren't that many drinks were very good [[HIGHLIGHT]]atmosphere was fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy. Definitely recommend for a cozy cute cocktail hour.

    Menu - from their website

    We popped in during the Fall Festival just to check this place out. It is gorgeous with many seating areas and options. Intimate sophisticated ambiance. Would be perfect for happy hour or a date night! The staff were welcoming and friendly. We will be back to try out some drinks & eats when we don't have the littles with us! Glad to have you in Roanoke!

    What a show stopper! This place is beautifully made and so inviting! Every single drink and small bite we ordered was delicious. Gordon, the host with the most, is super accommodating and excited for newcomers checking out their brand spanking new martini bar. We will be back with other friends and a deck of cards. Thanks for opening in Roanoke! (standing applause) :)

    This was such a pleasant surprise!!!! From the moment we entered Ro On Oak, we were greeted with such warmth and hospitality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is cozy and great for a romantic moment over some great mixology options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is small but really good. We had the flat bread and the meatballs. It was all really good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also noticed the beautiful bar with about 6-8 high chairs available for seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small restaurant but classy and quaint at the same time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend making reservations for best seating options. Lastly, our server was awesome. He was attentive, kind and genuine. I'll be back!

    This place is AMAZING!!!! I will definitely be back! The vibe is sooo cool and you can't help but stare at everything around you. It's decorated so well. The drinks were top notch and the service was phenomenal.

Atmosphere is nice and open with plenty of bar seats as well as communal high tops and standalone tables. Nice outdoor patio when Texas weather permits! Tried a couple of their beers: Miso Smooth (Japanese rice lager - 5.5% ABV) and Soul Fire Ultra Light (American Light Lager - 3.7 ABV / 15 IBU). Both decent enough for what they were, the latter being helped by the fact it was only $3 a pint. For food, tried the newly opened Zaep Zaep Thai joint. Had the Thai Basil Combo Fried Rice and an order of Spring Rolls. Seriously good stuff! Unexpected quality for a food court! The chef (owner?) also came into the bar to check to see if our food was to our liking. Definitely a nice touch and I wish him much success. Olivia's Scratch Kitchen serving African cuisine was the only other option open. Was a tough decision and hopefully will be back soon to try their offerings! There was also a cupcake place (Kid Kakes) that seems to get great reviews, but with Oak St Pie Company just a few doors down... well... sorry Kid Kakes! At only 20 years old, the bartender did a great job serving us and was more genuinely personable than many who have done the similar job for years. All-in-all a great impulse decision after The Original Roy Hutchins BBQ line ended up being far too long to wait in!

When we arrived, we were told our only immediate option was to sit outside in 99-degree heat. Otherwise, we would have to wait another 20-25 minutes for an indoor table. That completely defeated the purpose of making a reservation. It was embarrassing because I had planned this celebration, expecting the reservation to ensure the seating I requested. If indoor seating wasn't actually available, that should have been communicated before we arrived so we could have made other plans. To make matters worse, the dark-haired hostess was dismissive and offered very little help. The blonde hostess at least seemed to understand our frustration and showed some empathy, which I appreciated. A reservation should mean something or if standard does not mean indoor, there should be an explanation. The hostess stated they can't see what you select as far as seating which doesn't seem to make sense. Unfortunately, this experience left us disappointed before our celebration even began. You lost 6 customers today!
