My first time to The Dining Room and definitely won't be my last. Food was delightful. The portion sizes compared to the prices were a steal. So many wonderful selections it will take several trips to sample them all. The service was top notch. The servers were very attentive and extremely knowledgable about the area. All around the experience was... more

The service was very good and the cocoa dusted scallops were excellent. But the Filet Mignon, was definitely not filet. It was done the way I like, medium with a little pink, but there is no way it was a filet. It was very chewy and I got the feeling they were trying to pass off another cheaper quality of... more

This place is absolutely beautiful on the inside, fine dining, food was incredible i strongly recommend the BBQ and Apple Tinnies! If you are in Staunton Virginia and tired of the same ol' same old Fridays, Ruby Tuesday's, Red Lobster and such then this is the very best place to go! The owner is such a part of the action... more

We have been going to the Dining Room for many years and it has ALWAYS been great food, awesome service and a very relaxing atmosphere. I especially like the changes they have made every now and then to the menu and the decor. If I wanted the same thing each time I went out I'd use a drive thru. So... more

Uneven food quality and service. It can be spectacular, then disappointing. One water was superb, then ours was terrible. My wife ate three times and every time it was the wrong meal. Mine was perfect and excellent. It seemed like the management changed again a few months ago. It was excellent for the prior year. We thought the Sunday brunch... more

The Dining Room used to be a really nice restaurant, but with the new ownership it seems to have gone downhill. The place was almost empty, yet our waiter was still not very attentive/available and tried to seat us right by the door (in one of the coldest parts of the restaurant). The staff at the bar were singing loudly... more

What a fun place! Warm brick walls, cozy size, beautiful bar (with yummy fresh squeezed appletinis!) And the menu is really varied and full of all sorts of comfort food. Our favorites were the shrimp and grits, the short rib, the fried calamari, and the steamed shrimp, but there's something for everybody, and they even have a children's menu. We... more

My husband decided to take me out for Valentines Day and we were very excited to try The Dining Room. I was very upset to find out that they had a limited menu and you could only do the $85 option which was a 3 course meal consisting of 2 shrimp, a cup of soup, and an entree... no wine/drinks... more

While visiting Staunton this weekend had one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The food was great - Had bacon wrapped scallops along with Cream of Crab soup. The service was also great. Nice fairly quiet atmosphere. Would definitely go back when I am town again. They also have a discount voucher on Restaurants.com. more
