We sat in the basement bar area which was fine but steps going down there could be tricky to navigate for some. Food was good (crab cakes and chicken sandwich with homemade bread). Service was okay but only because one server was trying to handle too many tables until after we ordered then it got better (slow initially).Would recommend to others.

A definite "Go To" place for dinner. The specials are always fresh and delightful. The onion rings are the best in town!5/22/2023 - Dahlia always has excellent specials, and the amberjack today was terrific.
Food and service were excellent! We had a reservation on Valentines and got right in without any delays

Atmosphere was nice but food was mediocre and not great. Disappointing. Service was slow. This restaurant was recommended but we were not impressed.

I wish I would have found this place sooner. I've been looking for a place having three seafood, steak, and chicken options for very reasonable prices for a long time.The raw oysters and Krab meat dip appetizers were great. Fish and chips was not greasy and the fish was very fresh. My wife had the impossible burger and loved it.

First time I ever set foot in Lynchburg, apartment hunting for son. Very modest expectations. After viewing the last spot of the day we googled restaurants in the area and Dahlia was literally a block away. We were early so the place was deserted but reservations were called for, we were told. As we were drop-ins, we were graciously given a spot downstairs next to a gas fire place. We were the only patrons downstairs for our entire meal. Ashley, our waitress, dotted on us. She was fantastic. The food was first rate. I cringe sometimes at reviews in which the commentator recites their bona fides, so I will limit my resume to this: as a (former) globe-trotting lawyer, I have eaten at some of the world's most renown places - on the Company tab. Dahlia is in what I would call "tier1" - fresh, well-prepared, delicious "normal" food. Reminds me of one of my former favorite places in Old Town Alexandria - Vermillion. We started with the fried pickles (wife's idea) and they were Arkansas good. Whole, big pickles with a light batter. More than 3 of us could finish. I had the crab cakes, two in number, smallish, but containing lump crab and seasoned just right to my taste. Grilled asparagus was wonderful - not too much garlic. Better than anything I can get in Virginia Beach at the moment. Son had Faroe Island Salmon cooked perfectly with crisp, blackened skin and sides of broccoli and grits. Wife had a grilled chicken breast with fries. Simple and satisfying. The final, pleasant, surprise was that the entire tab for everything was less than $90. I've had lunches for 2 in Va Beach for close to $70. Upon leaving, I walked payment upstairs to Ashley, and the place was jammed! A very lively crowd of what I assume were locals on this chilly Tuesday afternoon. The main dining area was relatively small but loaded with ambiance - and a well-stocked bar. I am not sure about Lynchburg per se, but this restaurant will be a "don't miss" spot on return visits.
