Restaurants near Lynchburg Covered Bridge

We have a lovely server Katelyn (hopefully I spelled it right) dinner and Christmas atmosphere were amazing! We sat by the server entrance though to the dining room and there must have been an expo or chef that was trying to entertain. He was very loud and you could hear every conversation he had. Didn’t ruin the experience but it disrupted the atmosphere a bit. We will be back because we love our Christmas and birthday tradition, we will just try and request a table away from that area

The food and service were amazing! The history of the building was so interesting. We did have to wait a little bit while to be seated after our reservation time. It is to be expected during the holiday season. It was crowded, so it was somewhat difficult to hear the rest of my party , but that shows how everyone was enjoying their evening. It was a memorable way to celebrate our 25th anniversary. UPDATE: Management reached out immediately and apologized for the additional wait time again. I really appreciate the customer service and quick response. It is a good choice for those special occasions.

My 4 colleagues and I met for lunch for our annual Christmas lunch. We wanted to go to someplace new so chose Cooper's Hawk. We were promptly seated in a comfortable booth and our server was very attentive and totally on top of everything! We ordered several appetizers; the Candied Bacon and Artisan Cheese Plate was yummy (especially the 2 goat cheese offerings) and the Sweet Chili Calamari was deliciously different than any other calamari I've had (they're typically breaded, deep fried and served very crispy like onion rings) . These were huge calamari (very tender, not chewy), lightly battered, and liberally blanketed with a medium-spice sweet chili sauce and served with a Sesame-Sriracha Aioli. Highly recommended! I also ordered a cup of the Seafood Bisque which was rich, creamy and included a generous amount of crab, shrimp and lobster; I shared it with 2 colleagues who also gave it a thumbs up. Two colleagues shared a white wine flight and a red wine flight; they expected small tasting-sized glasses so were surprised when 8 almost regular-sized glasses of wine (4 white, 4 red) were brought to the table. Two other colleagues each had an individual glass of the Pinot Gris and did a refilll halfway through their meals. Our entrees were a mixed bag... my Shrimp and Scallop Risotto with peas, asparagus, corn and spinach was underwhelming; I ate about half, brought the rest home but doubt I'll finish it. One colleague had a Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese sandwich with Fries and a side of Tomato Soup; he only ate half (too much cheese, not enough meat). One colleague had the Baked Parmesan Shrimp Scampi and said the shrimp was tough. Two other colleagues ordered the Dana's Parmesan-Crusted Chicken and both cleaned their plates. Several us of decided to split the Banofee Pie for dessert. While we were waiting, our server brought us 5 small glasses of a fruity dessert wine (didn't catch the name) and it was a delicious. The Banofee Pie was oustanding.

We went to lunch to celebrate my wife’s birthday and were immediately impressed by our server, Chrissy, and her knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. The ambiance was intimate and soft at the beginning, but between the house music and the increasing number of patrons, it became quite loud. Still, the food and attention to detail were the stars of the show. The eggplant parmigiana, tagliatelle al prosciutto, and the Italian Stallion cocktail were among the best of the afternoon. To finish, a complimentary donut served with a delicate salted caramel sauce brought the birthday celebration to a special level. We highly recommend and we will return for another great experience!

We made reservations just in case but got there and got sat right away. Waitress was very pleasant. Bar service was slow. We had our appetizers before our bar drinks came. Food was cooked well and had good flavor. They were just setting up for live music when we were finishing.
