    I have been to Roanoke numerous times before and have always had a great experience, however this experience was not the same. The food and drinks were great as always, but our server Paola was not. One of our guests asked if she could substitute the potatoes her meal came with with something else, and Paola said that there are no substitutions. Two people in our party were splitting an entree salad and asked if the kitchen would be able to split it to two plates for them, and Paola said no. They then asked for an extra plate to be brought when the food came, and one wasn’t brought. Finally, when the bill came, we asked to split the check with a few different cards, and she said that it couldn’t be done. We asked if Paola could ask the supervisor for permission, and she just doubled down and said that it couldn’t be done. There was no effort to try to make the experience enjoyable, and Paola just told us no to every question we had. We enjoy coming to Roanoke before shows, however this experience has soured us from potentially coming back.
