We were looking for a nice atmosphere and good food after a funeral this Day. My niece recommended this spot and mentioned the exceptional food she experienced here. She was a truth teller for sure, there were 6 of us and all ordered something different and there were no complaints surprisingly. We had the Jambalaya, Steak Pasta, Crab Cake topped Burger, lunch portion of Salmon and the Chicken Fettuccine, we did also have two orders of Cheesecake w/warm Chocolate drizzled on top and they were voth heavenly. I asked everyone if they would order that same dish again and all confirmed. The restaurant is located in what I would describe as a industrial area of town, the restaurant however is top notch, dark wooded interior, dimmed lights, our waitress was friendly and professional. I did not mind the 20% tip which is automatically added to each billing, this is posted at every table. Total bill w/20% tip was only 150, and for me, it was worth my money!!

I absolutely love the restaurant every time I go. Went back with my mother as a post Mother's Day lunch/early dinner, and wasn't at all disappointed. This time I had an appetizer for my meal, and I was so happy with it! The Funnel Cake Sliders, they were absolute perfection. Just sweet enough to where I didn't feel the need for a dessert after dinner, which I'd wanted... But still, not disappointed. I tried the Lavender Lemonade with my meal an, honestly, I could easily drink that all through the summer and be content! My mother had the Mahi Oscar and Cucumber Salad, and she said it was absolute perfection. Oh, and as always, we had the Calamari for our appetizer, and, as always, we comment that we wish we could fix it the way they do at home. The serving staff was really friendly and helpful with any inquiries we had on drinks we wanted to try, and it was just an overall great experience. ....One thing, the pillars in the place need a little dusting... Otherwise, no complaints.

The crabby patty burger & thia brussel sprouts were absolutely delicious. Served piping hot & with a smile from Taylor. House white wine was a perfect addition to an early dinner.

Very generous portions of food that was excellent. They add a service fee that covers tips, that's fine. Had lumberjack French toast, pork chops, poached eggs w/ salmon entries, etc. All at brunch .

In town for my daughter's graduation and we had lunch here afterwards. There were so many good choices to choose from! We ordered a burger, Crabby Patty and Jambalaya; all great portions! We also ordered the Cajun Bites for an appetizer and tried the Funnel Cake burger. Everything was delicious!! The servers were attentive and extremely nice. I would definitely dine here again if I'm in the area.

Without a doubt, one of the top 3 places to eat in Lynchburg! Server was friendly, courteous, professional, and attentive. The food was perfect. This will be a regular stop for us!

Great food and service! One of the best burgers I've ever had and the portions were very generous. Our waitress Kelly was outstanding. The restaurant has a cool industrial vibe, my only complaint is that the temperature was too cold inside. Would definitely go back to RA next time I'm passing through Lynchburg. Highly recommend!

We had great food and service. The parking has expanded, which was so convenient. I definitely recommend the queso corn dip and the seafood mac! (I do wish I’d known it had tomatoes in it though). Melvin was a fantastic server, fun and attentive.
