Restaurants near Smith Mountain Lake

Food was delicious and service was outstanding! Very attentive and attention to details. Highly recommend.

This was my third time at Six and Sky. As usual, the food was delicious and well plated. Unfortunately, changes continue. I’m used to seasonal menu changes at nice restaurants, but what changes here is either taking items away and/or raising prices. On my second visit, just two weeks after my first visit, the price of cocktails raised by $3 and $5 for a martini. When I asked, they claimed they increased the amount of vodka in a martini, but it was the same size as the last time. The $5 up charge for a martini is a bit much. This third time, they said they reworked the menu. For one of our favorite items, the seafood steamer, the increased the price by $4 yet removed the scallops and clams from the dish. They claimed they increased the size. They did not. The same two shrimp. There were 8 mussels…that might be two more than before. It was basically a bowl of calamari. If this were a truly brand new restaurant, I could almost understand. But this is a restaurant group that should already know portions and pricing. The food is still so delicious, so I will try again. I’m just hoping they don’t decrease the portions and the items we like.

This was our first visit but we will be back. Excellent food, drinks and service.

Overall Lucky is a GEM! We visited on the Monday before Christmas. While many restaurants were closed - because it was Monday, leadership at Lucky made the wise decision to be open. It was a busy night in downtown Roanoke and the restaurant was pretty full as a result. To my thinking it also gave the employees a chance to make some good Christmas tips. I suspect that the restaurants that were closed will be also be closed Tuesday and Wednesday as well because of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day respectively. That leaves the employees with 3 days with no pay or tips. Good job Lucky! With respect to food and service: The food and drink menus are inventive and inspiring. I was impressed by the quality, taste and presentation of the food. I think the prices are a smidge high but the quality, SERVICE, and ambiance certainly make up for it. Based on our one visit, I will say that Lucky seems to be a GEM in the Roanoke restaurant scene.

The Regency Room was an elegant eating experience for the holidays! The food was excellent with a variety of breakfast and brunch options. What made it even more of an “over the top” experience was the piano music!! Loved, loved, loved this special dining experience!
