The name is appropriate, in the middle of town perched at the peak of a fairly high hill , driveway would be tricky in the snow so they close a bit in the winter. Its in a large classic Victorian home, tables are well spaced so that the noise level is low, the service was very prompt , friendly and polite. The dishes we had were very good, particularly for the price.

Wonderful food and very good service. We always have an overall exceptionally nice dining experience.
Matt
The foundation of the historic home is a nice start. Some of the internal design and decor leave something to be desired. The food on average with our group was fine. A couple of people ate very little of their dish, but they did all get the same thing. The clams and pasta. Disappointing to find that they didn't have any liquor or cocktail drinks available. Server was very nice and professional.

The food is always amazing!!! The service however didn't match the ambiance. Only one server could serve alcohol, kitchen was backed up and slow. waitress didn't understand menu. But the food is always amazing.

The restaurant is located in a Victorian home, which requires onging maintenance, which was sadly lacking. The furniture felt like it was from the original owners! The food as just okay, with some of the offerings well below par! Our server was very efficient, and charming which is only complementary thing we could say!
Amy
Good food, parking is awful and the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. We sat outside on the porch which was nice.

The food was fantastic. Great menu selections excellently prepared. My problem was with the service. While our waiter was very attentive, service was ridiculously slow. I enjoy a leisurely dinner, but 20 minutes to get wine? Forty minutes to get bread and a salad? Plan on at least two hours for dinner, more if you opt for dessert, which we did not. Not that they were overly busy, there were only eight of us in the entire restaurant. While a beautiful setting, the ambience was less than great due to several young children running up and down the main hallway shouting. Since none of the diners came in with children I assume they were related to the staff. While it was a great meal, I would never eat here again and can't recommend.

I never been to any restaurant like this one. It's very fancy dining so bring your best cloths. It perfect for dates, and any celebrations like anniversarys and so on. Matt was such a wonderful server. I recommend this place to everyone visiting or living in Virginia. Virginia is for lovers and this is the perfect place to show your love. Absolutely gorgeous and marvelous. The also have very good wine. The food is cooked perfectly. You must make reservations. I did not take pics of the food because of how expensive and classy the restraunt is. Beautiful mansion.

The food was excellent with a solid menu. Service was attentive but very slow. I enjoy a relaxed dining experience but waiting 40 minutes for bread and salad seems unnecessary. Plan on at least two hours for you dinner.

I went to Summit Restaurant with my family and a friend, and it honestly felt like the right choice from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is calm, quiet, and welcoming — the kind of place where you can actually enjoy a meal and conversation without distractions. The food was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care, which really set the tone for a great night.
What really made the experience stand out was our waiter, Matt. He carried himself with true professionalism but also had that genuine kindness that makes you feel looked after rather than just served. He was attentive without hovering, and his timing and approach made everything smooth and enjoyable. Service like that is rare these days, and it left a strong impression.
Summit has that combination of good food, a comfortable setting, and service that makes you want to come back again.
This place is absolutely incredible! We’ve had the pleasure to eat at many wonderful restaurants through the years and it’s rare to find a place that every dish at the table, tonight there was 9 of us, is so delicious. The appetizers, the meals, the desserts, everything was so good we kept making each other try each others dishes. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy another beautiful evening.

Beautiful Victorian setting with three charming dining rooms, refined New American dishes, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Matt was an exceptional server: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Truly a memorable dining experience!

Excellent food and service had crab cakes and Grouper very well prepared

The food was expensive. Portions were small. Long wait time to be seated even though there were many empty tables. Too long between getting drinks, appetizers, soup/salad, and meal. Was told there was a large party in another room. Recommend having separate servers for large parties so that other guests don't feel neglected or forgotten. Limited parking available.
