“The intimate setting with incredible views of the Blueridge Mountains. The incredible, friendly staff that takes care of you and makes you feel at home. The wines are wonderful, good selection, and they make a delicious charcuterie board! Take your 4 wheel drive and head up to the ridge, where additional views are incredible. Ankida is our go-to winery!!!”

“If you are new to town (even if you're not!) you have to check this place out. I feel like it's the heart of Amherst and the local community. It's always clean, the staff is always friendly, and you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. (They have the BEST hot chocolate!!) They let you host birthday parties and meetings there, they have games for kids, karaoke nights...it's just the best of what "community" truly means.”

Great place to visit!!!”

“What a beautiful experience! my family and I were in town for the Monacan Nation Pow Wow and exploration of the Natural Bridge. On the way back from driving the sights, I missed my turn, and stumbled across this GEM! With my three children exploring the realm of coffee like their mama, we try around with different steamer and decaf latte flavor combinations-- Belle Vie did not disappoint! We tried Decaf Cinnamon Bun Lattes, in which were made blue!!! What a great touch for a kid's drink! Strawberry Chai-- Kid approved! And I did a delicious Iced Orange Dity Chai. The cutest heart shaped straws just made you feel the love of the lovely owner herself. Outstanding customer service and fair prices. Also, what great conversation and advice for our youngsters in regards to their money-- 'When placing money in your wallet, keep the bills face up for good luck!' For sure cannot wait to return on our next trip!”

“Definitely recommend ❤️ Really good work on the food, good prices, and nice people..”

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!”

There was plenty of food, and the servers did a great job keeping up with beer orders. Kevin was super responsive to all of our email and phone communications and made the whole night a breeze.”

“I take my grandson by here several times a month to get his favorite ice cream (vanilla with a little bit of chocolate fudge and sprinkles) and the staff never disappoints. They are always very friendly and polite no matter the day or time. There is one employee (Andrea) that always has a smile on her face and makes it a point to say thank you and always makes my grandson laugh (he is 15 months). This has become our favorite time together and the little tables are absolutely perfect for kids his size. Thank you for always providing the best ice cream around.”

“Fast, tasty, and lots of room. They seemed to handle a high volume of to go and pick up orders.

The dining room is spacious with many booths available as well as high chairs and a booster seat.

We had the filet mignon and shrimp hibachi and an order of six gyoza. Everything tasted great. They also give a generous portion of yum yummy sauce—at least 1/3 if not a 1/2 cup or more.”

“Why did we wait so long to try Jed’s? We’ve been twice over the past few weeks. Two out of two, no misses.”

“I got the shrimp with vegetables and it was not good at all. Not sure what I was expecting so that's on me, but not worth the price I paid. Now, hubby got the pepper steak, and he said it was some of the best he's ever gotten. I would go back, but NOT get the shrimp next time.”

“I don't know how I'd get through the work day without my morning lotus energy drink-- which is delicious. customer service is also top tier!”
