The Dahlia

Absolutely fantastic lunch outing! I had the salmon with steamed broccoli and cheesy grits. Hubby had the burger with sweet potato fries. The grits were amazing, so glad I tried grits for the first time. Hubby said his food was great. Glad we stopped here on our trip today.

The atmosphere was perfect for a laid back date night in our stay in lynchburg. We did get a few drinks, fried pickles (that were amazing), dinner of course, and two desserts to go! Our server Alexis was awesome and made incredible margaritas!!!

Had the steak and my husband had the scallops. We also had the Cajun crab dip appetizer. Everything was good and had enough to take home.

We came in for a nice, mid-level dinner. We thought the place had a pretty cool, lightly upscale atmosphere. A bit casual. Our dinner was phenomenal. We shared the Pair Flat Irons, mashed potatoes, and Caesar salad. Our waiter, who was also bar tending at that time, was great.

First visit to The Dahlia. It's a little off the beaten path and over an hour drive for me. Parking is mainly street parking, but not a huge issue. There is a small outdoor dining area in front, and the small main dining area on the top level. We made reservations for the "Cellar", but honestly were not needed on this particular Saturday night. The Cellar has a nice tavern vibe to it, adjacent to the downstairs bar. I got the seared Wahoo over mushroom asparagus risotto tomato beurre blanc. The title alone was a mouthful, and so very tasty. Very generous portions of Wahoo, which is hard to find in most restaurants I frequent. The risotto was creamy and not dry at all. My wife got the Grilled Chicken Tacos. Loaded with chicken and excellent flavors. We split the Molasses Cake with cream che
