My family came here for a pre Christmas meal. Not our first time and we have never been disappointed. The food was delicious and everyone was very kind and helpful. There was a light snow falling outside of the window next to our table making everything that much more memorable and enjoyable.

About the restaurant

The views of Primland’s rolling fairways and verdant forest landscapes could easily distract if the cuisine and generous interiors at Leatherflower did not command your full attention. Savor refined seasonal dishes that highlight native ingredients from Primland’s own farm and greenhouse, as well as the local mills, farms and suppliers. Floral grasscloth wallpaper, wooden beams, an ever-glowing fireplace and intimate seating arrangements with custom upholstered banquettes and chairs capture the spirit of a whimsical Virginia inn while diners partake in an exceptional culinary journey through the tastes of Appalachia.

About the restaurant

A favorite Southwest Virginia landmark, The Farmhouse Restaurant has served the New River Valley since 1963. The authentic farm house, originally part of the Ridinger Estate, was build in the 1800's.

In the early 1970's, an old train caboose was added to provide a unique dining area. During the past decade, a rustic lounge, additional dinner seats, and a spacious 250-seat Banquet Facility have added to the charm of The Farmhouse.

Well anytime we go to Frankie Rowlands we expect to pay top dollar and usually the service, food, and ambience combined make it a great experience and this time was no exception. My wife had the 7oz filet which was cooked to perfection, while I had the Chilean Sea Bass for the first time and it was just outstanding. We also had the crab dip appetizer which without a doubt is the best in Virginia. Place was buzzing being close to the Holidays but the entire staff was at the top of their game. Great experience!!!!

In our first visit to OTH Chophouse, we were very impressed with the presentation, ambience, and preparation of our meal. We both had a signature cocktail. My Smokehouse cocktail had a natural smokiness without being overpowered my the sweet maple - a well executed balance. My entree was the Mahi, which was delicious. I also choose the brussel sprouts, grilled to perfection with yellow raisins within, providing a yummy contrast. All in all, a wonderful experience. We will be back.
