    Great service, great music, incredible ambience. Drinks are delicious and unique, food was delicious and came out quick too! Will be back. What a great addition to Roanoke!

    My mule was delicious

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

    What an amazing spot!!! Husband and I were in Roanoke for dinner and decided to have cocktails before hand and found this little gem. Cool vibe. 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.

    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!

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

    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 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.

    I wanted to find a unique place to enjoy a craft cocktail and a small bite after a very long day visiting customers. The Ro On Oak was just perfect! While not at all hidden, it's right in the corner, the entrance certainly has a speakeasy feel with the plush velvet curtain. Once inside the ambience is so relaxing and enjoyable. I sat at the bar and ordered a cocktail called Ramble On and the tomato mozzarella flatbread (basically a margherita pizza). Both were delicious! Chandler was my bartender - he was kind, made helpful suggestions, and very attentive to everyone.

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!

We had a reservation, which I'd definitely recommend because it gets busy especially on a Friday and parking is limited. Once we were seated, the server gave us a nice rundown of the menu. We started with the hand rolls, the Masu Tartare and Toro Tartare and both were delicious. I personally loved the Masu more, but you really can't go wrong with either. We also ordered calamari, which arrived a bit later. It was okay, nothing spectacular, not as crispy as I hoped but the rest of the meal more than made up for it. For sushi, I had the Spicy Atlantic Salmon and the Kani Koi. I absolutely loved the Spicy Atlantic Salmon...it was definitely a favorite but my fiancé preferred the Kanikoi, so everyone wins. We also tried the Kamasu - Barracuda, which was just as delicious. Overall, everything was perfect, and I can't wait to come back to try more hand rolls and a few other dishes.

I am a Sushi novice to say the least, but my grandson and daughter wanted to introduce me to his new favorite restaurant, he's 15 so I had to see what he was raving about! The only reason I gave 4 stars is, cuz I am not educated on all things sushi and the extensive menu didn't really break down what each category really meant, the place was packed so clearly it's a newbie issue. I mentioned to our server Cameron, who was so polite and professional by the way, that it might be fun to host a monthly Sushi 101, where people could make reservations and for a flat rate the attendees could learn the difference between sashimi, sushi and all the other preparations for the cuisine. People could taste and sample each type and learn a little bit, giving them confidence to put Hush in their local food rotation. I really enjoyed my experience, and will do some research on the different options so I can try some new foods, I have no doubt I can ask my server, but that would have made me uncomfortable making the rest of my party wait while I learn, this was a spur of the moment invite so I didn't have time to do research, totally my problem. I will be going back once I learn more! I enjoyed my food, the Tempura Shrimp roll, we also really liked the smoked salmon roll, the crab rangoon, and shrimp fried rice, all was delicious! Very nice place for a date night, if you like sushi you won't be disappointed!

Bartender/Manager(?) took our drink order and brought garlic knots to snack on. Nice touch, guess this is like offering dinner rolls...? Either way, they were good and much appreciated. Decent selection of beers and even a few craft options avaliable too. Bar area was buzzing during our visit and it appears they have some drink specials throughout the week. They were showing the NFL game, so good spot to catch a game too. Seating is a mix of tables and booths, and a bar in the back corner. We ordered 2 personal pizza options (4 slices, 8 inch), 1 was a custom order and other was their menu offering with spicy marinara, sausage, jalapenos and pepper jack cheese. Pizzas arrived pretty quickly. The crust was larger than expected and was a little more doughy than expected. Not bad, just not what we were expecting for hand-tossed crust options. Toppings were appropriate, so no concerns there. The pizza was good, not great, no complaints...just average pizza, similar to what you might get from a delivery pizza place. The server was really good and seemed to be covering the entire place, and yet she stopped by multiple times to check on us and refill glasses. I think I'd like to give the location another try again in the future.
