“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!!!”

“Every time I come here they get it right. I often get curbside service or drive thru, and I use the app which makes it super simple, easy to customize, and prepaid in a click. The $5 meal deal is a welcome return to high value, but the app makes it easy to eat for less than $8, especially with points. Service is always kind. Although I don't think I've been inside it looks clean and inviting, and the lot seems clean and straight every time I go. I wish they still had salads. ??

Parking: Well swept lot and maintained grounds.”

“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!”

“We had our rehearsal dinner at Blue Mountain Barrel House, and it was such a fun time! They hosted us in the back room among the brewing equipment, and it was a really unique experience. 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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”
