Molasses Grill is to die for y'all. Everything from the service to atmosphere to food was beyond top notch. We went on a Thursday and thankfully they were not insanely busy and had a table. Reservations are recommend. As soon as we were seated we had a server that took the best care of us. We placed our drink orders, I had the Persephone(think spicy Pomegranate) and he had a pilsner out of Danville. We almost never get an appetizer but got the Hickory Oysters which were absolutely amazing with Tabasco and Shallot butter. The lemon sprinkled on top added to the best flavor. I am not an oyster person but these were so good. For our entrees I had the sweet potato gnocchi. All of the ingredients made a perfect pairing. The gnocchi was pillowy soft and the pearl onions, collard greens, butter

Fantastic dinner, second visit after two year absence! Great service provided by Myles. Tried the specials onion soup and fried flounder. Also tried grilled oysters and pork chop from menu. All very good. Chef Steve stopped by to check on us. Generous portions so took coconut cake togo. Highly recommended!

We've driven by this place in the way to visit my parents for 20 years. I've always heard great things. Pictures looked wonderful but we could never make it work. We finally made it last minute on the drive to Lynchburg from Durham and will definitely be back. The interior is warm and inviting. Casual elegance (is that even a term?😂) Menu had a nice selection without being overwhelming and i think this allows them to do what they do well.

This is a wonderful place to eat. The atmosphere was great, the food was phenomenal... I highly recommend the calamari. Two thumbs waaay up on that. The main course was great and we went all out and got dessert as well. The cheesecake and the coconut cake were just as good as anything else we had. Zero complaints. But the absolute best part of our dining experience was our waitress. Huge shout out to Christina for being a true professional. She was probably the best waitress I've ever had. She was always on point with any and everything we asked her for. Even down to which beers to get and how each one would pair with our dinner. Absolutely one of the best in her profession! So if you have read this and you want the absolute best experience there... just ask for Christina and I promise yo

My family and I went here last night for a birthday dinner. The food was amazing, the calamari was the best I have ever had. Its worth going back just for that. Everything from the salmon to the ribeye, and the linguine was superb. The desserts are also top tier. Sabrina our waitress was so sweet an attentive. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. The place itself is beautiful. I recommend calling ahead for reservations. My family and I will definitely be returning guest.
