Our family loved our first visit to Blue Ridge Grill! We were there at 5pm on a Sunday night and it was great because there were other people there, but it didn't feel overcrowded or loud (we are a family of introverts, so we appreciated this). The restaurant has a great feeling of having your own space to talk, with the music just loud enough to feel like you can't hear everyone else's conversations.
The service was fantastic! Our server was friendly and attentive and never rushed us.
The food? Wow, it was good!! My husband had one of the specials, and it was a seafood linguini with a lime cream sauce, and he devoured it! He said the seafood was perfectly cooked. My daughter had the NY strip steak with mashed potatoes (I sampled and they were amazingly good, a perfectly executed classic mashed potato) and creamed spinach (you actually only get one side, but we okayed the upcharge and I appreciated that the server let us know). She loved everything! Just a note, she asked for her steak medium well, and it was still plenty pink inside as you would expect at a steak house type restaurant. I had the Brentwood salad with grilled chicken and no croutons from the Gluten Free menu. It was one of the best salads I have ever had!!!!
Seriously, a great restaurant with a decent gluten free menu is hard to find. This place is a gem and we will be back!
