Altho the restaurant was busy, the service was excellent and the meal arrived within a very reasonable time. The Scottish salmon was the best East Coast salmon I've ever eaten and exemplified the standard of quality all Rain's food. To me, Rain is the best restaurant in Abingdon from every standpoint.

I truly love this Abingdon spot. People from all walks of life come together & enjoy this spot. The food, cocktails & service are beyond awesome. Tonight I thoroughly enjoyed my lobster roll & fancy fries. If you haven't already, check them out, the next thing you know, you'll become a regular.

Recent visit on Friday night was disappointing, and that had nothing to do with the food. The food at Rain is excellent, I had the Yellowfin Tuna Friday night and it might have been the best tasting meal I've had in Abingdon. Unfortunately, the "yum factor" was overriden by service which was unattentive, food was slow (compared to neighboring tables, sat after us who received food more quickly) and one of the most odd explanations I've ever heard for food taking a while (without ever getting an apology for the delay)... "these filets have been stalling and take awhile to cook past medium". Are you a mechanic shop or a restaurant? Honestly, all would have been fine with simply acknowledging the situation and apologizing for the delay. No need to even offer a discount of any kind, just acknowledge it.

This was our first trip to Belize and we were exhausted and starving after a long flight. We stumbled into Rain and were seated at a table with a beautiful view overlooking the ocean. Our waiter was Effraim - a professional, polite and attentive waiter. The food was fresh and delicious and the service impeccable. I highly recommend Rain (and partner restaurant Aqua) and encourage you to ask for Effraim. He will make your dining experience a perfect one. We came back several more times during our trip for the service and quality food. Thank you Effraim!

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a lovely anniversary dinner here and were fully satisfied with every aspect of our experience. The food was amazing, the service was superb, and the pacing was perfect. We’d highly recommend it to anyone and will absolutely be back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten

A local and tourist staple. Right on historic main street with plenty of street parking nearby both in front of the restaurant and behind. The menu is excellent. Big fan of the Scottish salmon and the tuna. Staff’s always kind and pleasant to be around. Comfortable atmosphere.

I've been before and have had a great time, but they need to improve how they do their phones. I tried to call to cancel a reservation (trying to be responsible and communicative, you know), and the line was busy. I called 82 times. I have the screenshot to prove it, although I don't know how to post it. The line was busy every time. Buy a phone with multiple lines.

This is a wonderful place to dine and relax, when one has time. We have dined here several times, as locals and really enjoy the food, atmosphere and service. Always impeccable!Vegetarian options: They are good at customizing options.Parking: Think they have a very small parking lot, but there is lots of street parking. It can be difficult to park at times, but usually find something within a block.
