We have enjoyed dinner at Rain several times when visiting picturesque Abingdon. Tonight, we enjoyed dinner on the lovely patio with Zach doing a good job as our server. The beverages were good with generous portions. The oysters Rockefeller and the tuna were delicious as was the squash soup. The pepper encrusted steak was flavorful and medium rare as requested.
One of the recommended specials was the crab cakes. I was expecting a lightly sautéed presentation. Unfortunately, the crab cakes were fried, deep brown, dry and firm. I mentioned to our server, Zach, that they were over cooked, and he passed it along to the chef who passed it along to his cook. As we were attending a show, there was not sufficient time to send them back and order something else. Hopefully the feedback will beneficial.

Great food and great vibes! We had Connor as our serve and he was the best, very attentive and made sure we were taken care of at all times! Ask for him if you can!

This was a pretty little restaurant. We loved the fried calamari, and an order of Rockefeller oysters. The chicken Parmigiano with vodka sauce was really just average in taste and texture. The cocktails were good but need to work out how to make a Manhattan!

We came to rain for my grandmother’s 80 birthday (7A, 2K). It was awful. I made this reservation over a month ago and did tell the restaurant at the time I had 2 small children. When we get there, they did have 2 high chairs as requested but no coloring books and crayons, when I inquired, we got expo markers and the back of an old menu, fine, I’ll make it work. On to the next… Our server didn’t even come over once in 15 minutes since we sat down, seemed really new at his job as he didn’t offer us drinks, appetizers or anything, we had to tell him. The service from the get-go was very slow. It took about 30 minutes for appetizers, salad another 15 after that, then another 30 for entrees, all with little interaction from our server and no offers for additional drinks. We did flag down the manager multiple times who was extremely rude and snarky towards, myself, my elderly grandparents and my mother, totally uncalled for as we were polite. Now, my toddler did cry at bit at the extended wait times. She was tired and done and food still hadn’t shown up. My husband took her for a walk and not even 2 minutes after he returned with her, she cried because she had to sit down again. This lasted for 2 minutes, the chef/owner comes barging out the back and screamed across the back of the restaurant at my elderly grandparents to “take the kid outside”. We were all taken aback as she had already stopped by the time he came out. He could have politely come over to us, pulled us aside something, no he screamed at us. When we complained.. We were told by the manager to “read the room” and calm the kid down. She was totally calm and coloring at this point. Needless to say, service wise they really sucked. On to the food… The food was good but WAY salty. The salmon my grandmother ordered was dry and overcooked although it had good flavor, maybe the chef let it overcook when he was yelling at us. Only highlight was that the wine was cheap.
For a $500 dinner, I expected better and I’m extremely disappointed.

Food is delicious and on point every time but the service is super slow depending on who you get as a server. It's also so incredibly loud you can't hold a conversation with others at your own table. Make a reservation.

A wonderful dining experience
Delicious food, creatively prepared in a neat setting service was wonderful! Definitely will be back!
Great restaurant with a focused menu. We will certainly return!
Food was delicious! Definitely a must try!
All entrees are excellent. Once again the butternut squash soup was out of this world. The tuna was ok but not as good as the salmon.
