We were excited to stay at the Weyanoke hotel in Fsrmville, however we were immediately let down upon arrival. The host/receptionist that checked us in was dismissive and rude, she acted as if we were a nuisance just for being there. Dinner was good and the waitress and bartender were pleasant. When we went back to the room our daughter’s room was very cold. We tried to adjust the temperature but the remote wasn’t working. My husband went to check the thermostat sensor on the wall, barely touched it and it fell into the wall. He called to see how we could fix it and she said because that had happened we would need to switch rooms, then she suggested our kids would have to just share a room with us even though we paid for 2 separate rooms. Then she said she wasn’t sure if the maintenance guy was on schedule tonight, which was understandable b/c it was the night after Thanksgiving. She also told us that it may take over an hour for the maintenance guy to get there. She reluctantly called the maintenance guy and he arrived within 10 minutes. The maintenance guy, Josh, was AMAZING. Rather then making us feel like WE were the problem he just helped to resolve the problem He immediately identified what was wrong and quickly fixed it. The front desk woman is in the WRONG position and should not be working with customers. We vote for JOSH to be in charge of customer service. He was very kind, empathetic, understanding and willing to help us fix the problem. We would have voted atmosphere as a 5 based on aesthetics but considering service has so much to do with the whole experience we put it as a 3 star as well.

I was to preface this review with we ate here 2 years ago for our Ann and it was outstanding!
Unfortunately our date night was not as expected due to a sad dinner experience- my husband and I were throughly disappointed in the meal we were served. I ordered the torched Brie and stone fruit salad to start- the menu description was not what I was served- no arugula no wild berries- it was an over dressed spinach salad with raisins and dried apricots- I then ordered the bistro steak medium rare and it was not only over cooked the meat tasted rancid- they took it off the bill before I could complete my explanation- the green beans did not have shallot but chunky white onion pieces- I expect the menu description to match the meal- it also said it came with a Chesapeake potato croquet but I got what I would consider an over fried crab ball- (there was nothing that said shell fish on this plate) good thing I don’t have a shellfish allergy. My husband got the salmon- he ate his fish - it was cold- the whipped potatoes were water and his green beans were also full of chunky white onion and cold-. We were very disappointed with the entire experience. We were really looking forward to a fine dining experience and got a sub par poorly prepared meal. The service was fine- but the turnover in the kitchen is very obvious based on the quality of food. We will not be back-

!!!!!!!!! Musicians beware!!!!!!!!!!
If you’re a musician or band and looking to gig in Farmville, stay away from taproot tavern and hotel, we played a show and they changed details on pay after we setup and we still haven’t been paid after sending us through hoops. It’s been almost a month. Do better taproot tavern. Taproot Tavern, owned by Taylor Hospitality CEO Sean Taylor. Sean is also the guy that held us up and changed details. Very non professional!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The food was great. Wood plank salmon over rice and asparagus, porter house 1 1/2” thick pork chop over mashed redskin potato’s. Quiet low light, cloth napkins eclectic decor.

Best food in town! Had dinner there twice and everyone ordered different food - and all of it was delicious. The drinks were fantastic and the service was more than accommodating to our large groups. Will definitely be back.

Two of us went to Taproot the Friday before Christmas. We shared the brussel sprouts which were delicious. We each got a sandwich which was rather pricey for what we received. Not impressed with the meal. Unfortunately the place is not what it was before August 2023. Probably won't be back.

Fantastic food with over the top service. Have Sarah serve you, she will not let you down. Grade A souffle chef in the kitchen!! ?
Lack of adequate ans or trained staff. Service was poor. Food was ok........
Parking: Town of Farmville lacks adequate parking, and has for years. Growth seems to continue, however no attention to lack of necessary parking, which proposes a safety concern.
Chartruteri board was horrible for $18, the cheese was sliced cheese from a variety pack you get at Costco.

Let me start by saying I hate brussels sprouts! Well- that was until dinner tonight. While in Farmville for work, a co-worker and I was exhausted from a day full of training and meetings so we decided take advantage of the onsite restaurant at our hotel (Ascend Hotel Weyanoke). After ordering our drinks at the bar, I noticed that the lady next to me had ordered brussels sprouts and they surprisingly looked delicious for something that looked like mini heads of cabbage. They did not disappoint! They were delicious! And the portion was way more than I could eat alone! After the appetizer came my main course of lemon herbed chicken (very tender I might add) with crisp green beans and I opted to substitute french fries for the risotto. Thinking I couldn't stomach another bite, I opted to try the carrot cake, I mean...why not? Pure Heaven on a plate! The quality of food, quality of service, exceptional! The bartender, Beth, was super sweet and I enjoyed chatting with her. I cannot wait to visit the area again because I know where I will be eating! I highly recommend Taproot.

The food is good but abit on the expensive side. The reason we chose to eat here was because it was attached to the hotel Weyanoke and we didnt have to go drive anywhere..
Mark P Goodman
The food was excellent! The service was just so-so. One of the women serving us didn't exude any warmth. I asked her for a straw for my ice tea. Never got it. I went to the bar and got it myself. The noise level was horrendous.
Very quant place nice service nice people
