    Order the charc board. You will thank me. Served four with leftovers. Very good variety of meat, cheeses, olives, cornichons, raspberries (only 3, come on folks) and crusty bread. $17.00 (Plate) | $30.00 (Board). Had we realized how big it was we would have skipped the entrees and added a bottle of wine. That good! Also on our table was a beet and goat cheese salad. I loved it! But after the charc board which we got as an appetizer I had no chance of finishing it; the french kiss sandwich (Country sprouted white bread, brie spread, grilled chicken, Granny Smith apples, parmesan cheese, pickle spear, chips) that came to the table looking underwhelming but turned out to be very impressive; and the Star City Flatbread (Artisan crust, organic pesto, Alfredo sauce, Granny Smith apples, caramelized onions, goat cheese, Swiss cheese, garnished with red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese) that was really great tasting but we couldn't do it justice after the Board. Service was good. Only one person in the dining room at lunch but she handled it well. She may have been working the kitchen as well, not sure. Restrooms were large and clean and well appointed.

    Beef Short Rib

    The ambiance is great, but the service is mediocre. The food is super super overpriced and always prepared poorly. I've tried three times to enjoy brunch here, and each time was more disappointing than the last. Last time I spent $26 for a meal that tasted like it came out of a can and was overly cooked. The beef short rib was dry and bland, the serving was tiny, and the poached eggs were overcooked. Never again.

    This place was cute. A fun stop before you get your night started, or if you want to have a chill outing. The food was cool, although I wouldn't come here for the food; it's definitely to maintain you while drinking. While we were there, they also had a cute ticketed event (wreath making), and they seem to do random fun events often. I did a flight and enjoyed most of the wines in the flight. They have a standard variety of wines to try. It's definitely a go-to place in Roanoke.

    After the not so good experience I had last time I ate here, because of the quality of the ribeye, that was tough, chewy, and overcooked, I decided to give it another try. I arrived on time for my 5:00pm reservation. A young lady greeted me and walked me to a table that was next to the front window. One of the reasons I enjoyed the ambiance of this place is for their open space and wonderful light coming in from outdoors through the many windows. Even though I liked my table, my chair design and the material it was made was somewhat uncomfortable. The host doubled as my server and asked what I would like to drink. I asked if they had any Mocktails and she told me they didn't and offered me a bottle Coke made in Mexico as the only alternative, not even mentioning that they had Iced Tea. As appetizer I asked her about the Portabello Fries. She replied that even though she didn't like mushrooms, the item has been so popular that they always have it in the menu. I replied back that I did love Portobello mushrooms and ordered it. I mentioned to her about the problem with my ribeye last time I dined there and ordered the Surf and Turf once again. It included a ribeye steak and two scallops with a side of broccoli. I asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare. When it arrived, it was better than last time but still not the best quality, and the broccoli was lukewarm and not fresh. It was like frozen and reheated. I also noticed that the place was not too crowded and yet my server didn't offer me the peanuts that last time I was offered by my server. When other customers started arriving it was a bit difficult to capture the attention of my server to ask to see a dessert menu and order a dessert. I finally was able to and ordered a Butterscotch Mousse for dessert. The dessert was delicious. Consistency is very important in a restaurant. Last time it was the excellent customer service that I received that was able to get me to come back and give it another try. This time, even though the meat quality had improved, my high expectation for excellent customer service was upsetting. I hope management reads my constructive criticism in this review and takes action to see that it is corrected.

    Last leg of our trip to Asheville didn't disappoint. From the divine wine blushes, to the Eggplat Fries, to the Short Rib Hash everything was top notch, including the service. Fantastic spot for brunch!

    What a fun surprise!! We had dinner and were walking by so we stopped in for a drink! The staff was nice the service was great the merch was hilarious but the wine was pretty good!

    We stopped by because of the name, and then stuck around for the food, wine, and merchandise. We were on a long road trip on a Sunday and needed some grub (the wine was a bonus). After sitting all day in the car, we appreciated the option to sit (more like stand in our case) at a bar top table in the corner. Our server was super friendly and helpful. The three of us each did wine flights. I wish there was an option to build your own flight but you instead have to select from pre-made sets. I was able to swap out one of the wines for another but only for a wine of lever value. The wines were alright but nothing to write home about. The food was great. We got a couple of apps and entrees. I was tempted by a lot of the merchandise but opted for an apron. We'd absolutely stop by again if we're in the area!

    So, I guess I expected more of a coffee bar when there was only two carafes of coffee to pump it out. To go through the (what I'm sure is an) arduous task of infusing wine in coffee beans I expected the coffee to be served that way. Even if we took it to go. The ladies were happy to brew us a fresh hot pot but I think they rushed as the coffee came back hot and pretty weak. I purchased a bag to home brew and I'm sure it will be fantastic. The Hub used local honey ($.50 extra) but worth it because it brought out the taste amazingly. If it was stronger I'm sure my milk and tad of sugar would have wowed me. This coffee could really be a destination spot for coffee snobs if marketed right. No logo on the coffee cups??? but on everything else including the peanuts, which were yummy. Lovely clean, airy and modern space and decor. Will dine here next time I'm in Roanoke.

    Caprese salad
    Alison M.

    Yum! What a treat. They had live music when we arrived that was def. too small for the space (need to turn that down just a bit), her voice was lovely but the speakers were so loud you could not possibly speak to anyone even sitting beside you and enjoy a meal.... easy to fix by just lowering the volume a touch so it's a nice addition but not something where you can't talk at all... Fortunately, she wrapped up about 10 minutes into our meal and was done by the time our appetizer arrived. We chose to do the charcuterie plate (smaller version of the board) and it was plenty for 4 to share. We loved the bacon jam, tomatoes and bread and cheeses... yum! Def. worth it. I chose the Mango Chicken with rice and veggies and it was a huge portion with two chicken breasts, a decent amount of rice and loads of veggies. The mango slaw was yummy but a little too much sweet sauce overpowered the rice and drowned it - all-in-all a solid plate and huge portion. I also had the Cesar Salad which had some yummy fried/toasted parmesan cheese straws and fusilli pasta salad in the bottom. A different take but a great portion size and really yummy! My mom and her sister chose the Caprese Salad but it wasn't really a Caprese like I expected - tons of greens and a little cheese and tomato so it's not a traditional Caprese if that's what you're expecting. Our waitress was great but harried and did not want to bring us Splenda for our teas - after my mom pushed she went and got it. They have a pastry chef and the desserts always rotate. Our meal was fabulous and the food was great, ambiance nice, and location easy and right across from the Mast General store and a bunch of other cute walkable things. They have a cute amount of branded merchandise for sale and some cute mugs that say "Well Hung" which is kind'a cheeky. Bathrooms were spotless and decorated really cute. Parking is garage or street (free at night and weekends) and we had no trouble at all.

    Charcuterie plate. Was a ton of food for two.
    John T.

    Quiet to moderate noise levels ,service was fast, clean, and not as expensive as I thought. The food was good sized portions with lots of flavor and beautiful presentation. Would definitely come back to try more of the appetizers and different entrees. My only down about the entire visit was the soda situation, they use bottles not fountain. For a person that drinks a lot of soda with dinner that can get expensive. But water is free so I just drank water instead.

    Bottle of wine
    Rodger L.

    Bought a bottle of a red wine blend. My wife and I really enjoyed it. The staff was nice. Good wine from the region.

    Charcuterie.... good selection!
    Jeneane B.

    A weekend night in the summer makes it hard to get a table, even a table for two. Instead of a traditional dinne, my sister and I decided to come here for some wine and see if we could fill our bellies with some small plates. (This was after a day of hiking, so satisfying our appetite was a tall order.) We got two wine flights - one for each of us. Then we ordered the charcuterie plate and the pesto pasta. Everything was delicious.... and we definitely didn't leave hungry!

    Oysters, cheese board, mimosas.

This year I happened to go to Table 50, located on Market Street in the heart of Downtown Roanoke. Table 50 is one of those fine-dining restaurants in all the sense of the word. It is known for its upscale, progressive American cuisine that uses locally sourced ingredients from the nearby farmers' market. It offers an elegant atmosphere with features like copper tables and brick walls. Exquisite food like filet mignon. And exceptional customer service. After making my reservation through the OpenTable app, I showed up the following day right on time. A young lady hostess greeted me at the Host's station and after confirming my reservation took me to my table at a corner of the restaurant. My eloquent server Trent came by soon after to give me a warm welcome and take my drink order. I asked him to see if the bartender could make me a Pina Colada Mocktail. When he brought me the Mocktail, he took my food order. As a starter, I ordered the Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops served with a Parmigiano-Reggiano & Brandy Cream Sauce. Followed by a Mixed Green House Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing. And as my main course the Bienville Filet, a Certified Angus Beef 8oz Filet Mignon served with Fried Shrimps, Asparagus, Mashed Potatoes, and a New Orleans style parmesan cream sauce. My server then went to place the order and came back with a rectangular shape plate filled with a sliced baguette and little bowl of whipped butter. I always say that the quality of a restaurant's bread and water is an indication of the quality of its cuisine. My server did an exceptional job at bringing out all my items at the proper pace. And all was amazingly delicious. For the Grand Finale dessert, I asked for the Chocolate Mousse Torte. This is one of my favorites desserts out of all the restaurants around. My server brought it out on.a white plate with the words Happy Birthday written with a chocolate dip. It was delicious, even though this year they didn't include a candle on top. As if this wasn't enough, after paying and going to the restroom to wash my hands, as I was headed towards the door, my server runs by me and opens the door, thanking me for my visit on this special occasion and wishing that I come back soon. What a way to end an outstanding dining experience!

As soon as I arrived, an elegant yet friendly lady greeted and welcomed me, explaining this unique establishment and what it had to offer. I explained how today I came to learn about the place and have dinner with a non-alcoholic drink since I was driving. She served me a glass of water and explained the different items on the menu. The menu included artisanal cheeses, charcuterie boards, house-made dips, and made-to-order paninis, as well as a Cheesecake Flight sweet. I ordered the Peaks of Otter Panini which contained Pulled Pork, Swiss Cheese, Pickles, and Mustard. And was served with kettle fried potato chips. While I waited for my order to be served on one of their beautiful polished walnut tables, I observed how some guests had a Wine Flight paired with a Charcuterie Board. And how their knowledgeable staff and owner guided the guests through unique varietals. When my food was ready it was brought to my table. The Peaks of Otter Panini was amazing. It had fresh, juicy pieces of pork, that together with the Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard tasted more like a gourmet Cuban Sandwich. And the chips were also fresh and crispy. Before leaving I walked around and noticed they had a back dining room as well as an outside dining area. Their wine selection focused on small, boutique wineries, offering a diverse range of local, domestic, and international wines. They also had some shelves full of local artists woodwork items for sale. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and its high-quality food, wines, and products from local artists. On my way out I met with a local couple of friends and remained talking with them for almost an hour. Again, I highly recommend this place and am looking forward to returning with some friends.

    Roanoke's Historic Grandin Village has many restaurants of all sizes and types but one that stands…read moreout is Rockfish Food & Wine. Founded in 2005 by Olivia and Rocky Byrd, this family-owned and operated fine-dining restaurant was established to bring a high-end yet relaxed seafood and wine dining experience to this area. It offers a seasonal menu and an extensive wine list of over 270 selections. After being ranked 4th among Yelp's Top 50 Most Prolific Elites of 2025, a distinction recognizing my consistent community engagement and high-quality contributions, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants, businesses, and establishments, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to go back and write follow-up reviews on those places that impressed me the most during 2025, and Rockfish Food & Wine located in the heart of Grandin Village, one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example of one of them. After making a 5 o'clock reservation on the Toast platform from the restaurant's website, I did some errands and then proceeded to drive to the restaurant located at 1402 Grandin Road. (This is considered the Main Street of this neighborhood) The restaurant's building is located next to a small 7-Eleven, and doesn't have parking, but I found plenty of on-street parking spaces good for an hour or in some cases two, and free after 5 o'clock. I picked one of them and parked my pearl white Lexus there. When I entered the restaurant, a young, elegant lady greeted and welcomed me behind the Host's station. Soon after she took me to the requested booth, I found out her name was Kayla and she would be my server. While I was reviewing the menu, she brought me a carafe of cold water with a glass, and a small dish with slices of a baguette and butter. She then took my order. To drink, besides the water, I ordered a Strawberry Fields Mocktail. It had just the right taste and was brought to my table by the bartender herself. To dine I started off with a Crispy Oysters appetizer which was delicious. Followed by a Dinner Mixed Green Salad, which was one of the most delicious salads I've ever had at a restaurant. It had many ingredients and tasted amazingly delicious. For my main entrée I had their Ribeye Filet Au Poivre median rare. It came served with roasted mushrooms, green beans, and cheesy mashed potatoes, and was cooked medium-rare just as I ordered it. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the high-quality food. My server provided exceptional customer service, filling my glass with water, and pointing me out the restaurant's owner who was an elegantly dressed, distinguish looking lady with lots of charm and a great personality, who had moved here with her husband and co-owner from California's central coast with a vision of creating a fine-dining restaurant which they felt the local area needed. I also found out through my server that every Thursday the restaurant had live Jazz music to a full house audience, and I would need to make reservations early. Seated at the table next to mine were a distinguished looking couple which I established conversation with and found out that the lady was Dr. Laura Treanor, the fifth president of Virginia Western Community College, who began her term on July 1, 2025. She had succeeded Dr. Robert "Bobby" Sandel, who retired after over two decades of service, and is leading the college with a focus on institutional effectiveness, instructional quality, and student success. For dessert I had their Vanilla Cheesecake with mixed berry sauce, which had missing the fresh berries described on the menu. I had just had such an extraordinary dining experience that I didn't even mention it. Before leaving and after paying the bill with my Harvard Alumni World Mastercard, I had the opportunity of meeting the founder and co-owner of the restaurant, Olivia, and thanking her and her husband for such a wonderful dining experience I had today and always whenever I dine there.

    Based on noticeably high prices we went expecting a high end dining experience and got just the…read moreopposite! The server was friendly and helpful but that is the only positive comment. 1. The Caesar Salad was really small, over-dressed and croutons, dry, hard and not bite-sized. 2. Fried Oysters were greasy, tasteless, overpriced, mostly breading, overly watery. Not an appropriate way to prepare Oysters. 3. The deep-fried Grits were breaded with Panco, not the right product as they are grease sponges and the Grits were mushy, too few and came with no dipping sauce. 4. The Tuna Tacos were the best item but only average at best. Very little tuna tartar and not chopped, not much flavor, served over tiny, raw, corn tortillas that should have been buttered and crisped in a pan. 5. The live Jazz with Lenny Marcus was great but the PA system was poor and one could not understand the vocals. 6. Seated right under a ceiling fan on high and AC set low and was quite uncomfortable.

The menu has sandwiches, pasta and shareable appetizers. The atmosphere is comfy and nice. Our server was on the ball when mistakes were made. We had several hiccups during the meal. The only reason I didn't rate three stars is because the glitches were fixed. The tomato soup is excellent. I orders a grilled cheese & soup. My sister had baked spaghetti. We split the spinach dip. My sister loved the pasta. The spinach dip wasn't hot. The cheese didn't even melt on the dish. I asked our server if the dip could be reheated - not even redone. The server had the dip redone. The second dip was not hot and was still clumpy. It seemed like frozen spinach. I asked if the dish could be redone. The server said she would not charge us for the dip. That was nice, especially since it wasn't that great. The third dip was hot and the best effort of the three. The server made sure we weren't charged. My grilled cheese was only cooked on one side. The cheese wasn't fully melted. The second one was better. This location is perfect to bring company arriving from or going back to the airport.

The hostess was friendly and seated us upon arrival at our request a booth and provided menus. Waitress came in immediately after with drink orders. She smiled and was very friendly. I connected with my son for dinner and he ordered the Cajun chicken pasta. I ordered the 12 ounce ribeye with two sides of sweet potato and steamed broccoli. The restaurant is divided up by bar and bar seating. It's a bit like a sports bar with TV's. To the side is their dining room. Everything was clean including carpets and tables cleared. Within 15 minutes our dishes pushed out looking fabulous. The pasta dis was enormous! My steak after cutting in was proper medium as ordered and yum. The sweet potato with cinnamon butter was over the top scrumptious! Broccoli was fresh and tasty. Our server did a quick check a few minutes later. Close out was prompt and no issues using my card. Left a generous tip of 25% with phenomenal service. Definitely would return.
