Best Casual Restaurants in Roanoke

I went to OpenTable to book a fine steakhouse. Kirby‘s was booked up for three hours, Ferrari‘s Italian, then Bob’s chophouse also full. When my husband came home from work, he said let’s go to Oak And Main. We eat there at least twice a week and the food is very good. They make a wonderful Elderflower Martini with Gin and prime rib only on Sundays, so tonight was perfect. We’ve been going since they first opened. Always a good meal. We’ve tried almost everything on the menu so I ordered their barramundi for the first time. Wonderful!

As always the food was delicious and we also took home some pastries. The service was attentive but our server wasn’t comfortable opening our wine bottle. She sent another gal who broke the cork and then a 3rd server came with a new bottle and he was successful! This last server did check on us after our food came out and we had a laugh or 2 at his mispronunciation of Ricotta. Italians know how their food is pronounced so that won’t fly and we like to drink wine. PS Chef Joey’s Pinot was heavenly.

The hostess was on the phone for a long time before she greeted and seated us.

Our server was excellent. He never rushed us and provided timely check-in. Food was very good but my favorite dish is still the Gnocchi. Inzo's is always a great stop for italian cuisine.

We had a company dinner with a party of 7. We had to change our reservation time at the last minute so we could no longer be in the dining room and they completely accommodated us. They seated us in the bar at a round table so it was perfect for conversation. The service was great! The server projected her voice so we could all clearly hear the specials and other things to know about the menu. The food was outstanding as usual. Yes, its pricey but there's a very good reason for that! The food is great!
