I have eaten at Roanoke at least 1/2 dozen times over the past few years. the food has always been delicious, and the service attentive but not overbearing. The ambiance varies depending on the day/time of the week. It’s a little noisier after work/pre-theater, and quieter on Sunday dinnertime. But the noise level has never gotten overwhelming when I’ve been there. I’ve taken 3 different groups of friends there, and all enjoyed it and said they would definitely dine there again.
