Spottswood Dining Room

Absolutely fantastic. I’m not sure how anyone cannot love this food and this place. The mushroom ravioli and the pasta carbonara are both incredible. Love sitting in an historic room with a wonderful fire. Ashley,our wait staff, was delightful. A gem of a place in our National Park.

Beautiful views from a rustic dining hall. Any and all may eat here, not only those renting rooms. The menu is a little limited, but the food is good. Come enjoy the area, gift shop, hiking trails, and striking views.

Not a good place to be if you’re in a rush (though its unlikely you are, when enjoying this area).

We ate here three times. The location is wonderful if you're staying in Shenandoah National Park. Our first night there, my daughter and I split mushroom ravioli, which came with five ravioli drowned in cream sauce, thankfully with lots of fresh mushrooms. The flavor was pretty good, but for the price I would not order it again. Five small, mediocre hush puppies for $10 were a waste of money. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, but the cost for so-so food was a let down. For breakfast the next morning, the hostess was MIA so a random person from the lodge's staff seated us. It took over ten minutes to get waited on and another 25 minutes for coffee and water to be delivered to the table. The coffee was full of grounds (as was the refill!) and only half full.
