The Lazy Ballerina Bistro

Went for a lunch date with my husband. I forgot my purse on a chair. My phone number wasn’t listed anywhere inside, so the server dropped it at my house! They are a bunch of angels.

Waited for the hostest to seat me then after my guest arrived it took about 15 minutes for the waitress to come take our drink orders, then another 15 for the drinks to arrive. The chicken in the chicken salad sandwich was tough. It seemed like they were hosting a lunch event and didn't properly staff to accommodate.

Cute place. Food is just ok. Small portion sizes leaves you hungry and this is coming from a woman that doesn’t eat a lot. You get like 7 fries haha

We went for lunch. The food was ok. Didn't care for warm ice tea that immediately melted the ice cubes. Our biggest complaint was the noise. My god. We heard 3 different conversations at once. The decor was a surprise. We expected a more charming intimate atmosphere. Institutional cold white walls and hotel art made for a very uninspired and lackluster interior. Little glass vases on the table held what appeared to be a single stem of Dollar Tree plastic flower. There really is no theme or cohesiveness to the decor. We would order takeout, but the noise and the atmosphere will keep us from returning.

Food was AMAZING, but the service was definitely slow. Our party didn’t mind, as the food truly made up for it, and the staff was very kind; but it isn’t a place i’d recommend for a quick meal experience. The chicken pot pie was so good!!! I would definitely go again, but maybe at a dead hour lol.

Loved our service , meal and admired the beautiful decor. Great dining experience! I will be back soon !

My husband and I have had dinner at The Lazy Ballerina twice and we were delighted both times. The atmosphere is charming and the entrees were an enjoyable epicurean experience. The pièce de résistance however, was the house made Pistachio cake with blueberry cheesecake filling and lemon buttercream frosting that we had on our second visit! Very seldom does a cake taste as good as it looks, but in this case, the flavor far surpassed the artful presentation! We practically had a fork fight over the last few morsels! We will definitely return, but we will try to go off peak, because every little sound is amplified by the wood floors, walls and hard ceiling in a relatively small space, making it very difficult to have a relaxed conversation when the place is packed, although we were told that the owner is taking steps to get the noise under control.

Were from out of town. Went there tonight for dinner. Loved the place. Very charming atmosphere. Our server Kristen was amazing. Gave us great food recommendations and had a great personality. We ended up taking home 3 deserts. The bread pudding was fire! Will be back next time we're in town.

they close the kitchen early, like 9pm on Friday night
weak!

A friend and I tried this place for the first time today. Atmosphere was lovely however one of the waitresses runs through the restaurant constantly which makes the floor shake every time she came running past. Kristen our waitress was very pleasant! The food was presented very nice and it was good just a bit under seasoned for southern fried chicken. Would recommend giving it a try just for the atmosphere.
