Dorothy & Franks

I have never been to a restaurant in its first week of opening and had a more successful meal. It is incredibly impressive to me that a restaurant that is almost full at lunch, which this one was, in their first week of operating was able to manage an entire meal so efficiently and deliciously. We wanted to try this restaurant because it is from the same owner as Bloom, and you can immediately tell when you walk in because the entire design of the restaurant is done with care and detail and that translates to the menu and the food as well. They are just open for lunch right now but if you would like to have high quality food made with care but in a casual lunch setting, this would be the perfect restaurant. We tried several different menu items and the chicken and dumpling soup and the

Stopped by for lunch and the food was fantastic! Super chic and welcoming space, can't wait to go back. The falafel pocket, soup of the day (pumpkin & sweet potato) and chicken salad sandwich were all big hits with our group.

This new restaurant in downtown roanoke is a gem. The moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and seated right away, despite a packed lunch crowd. From the soaring height of the ceiling to the intimate bistro style seating, the ambiance is effortlessly stylish. The service was exceptional—attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu and excited to share their favorites which I personally appreciate. Every interaction felt thoughtful and professional. The food was outstanding. You can immediately taste the quality of the ingredients, and that alot of thought goes into every locally sourced dish. There’s a noticeable attention to detail, from the flavors and presentation to the timing and overall experience. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked. This is the kind of place

The food was out of this world good. As vegetarians we were impressed by how many options were available to us! Also the N.A. Cocktails were amazing and creative! Even the mayor was there! Now, this was one of their first weeks open for dinner I believe, so one thing I hope can improve is the noise level because on a packed night it was extremely loud and hard to have a conversation around the table. Worth it for the food, and I’m sure it’s something that they will figure out soon in time (we really hope)! Staff was amazing, menu was fantastic, and we can’t wait to try for lunch.

As a vegetarian in Roanoke, I often have limited variety in food options at restaurants, so it was refreshing to see multiple veggie-friendly items on this menu. I ordered the falafel pita for take out and it was so delicious that I immediately came here to write a review — highly recommend this dish! I look forward to returning for a dine-in experience and trying the rest of the menu and cocktails.
