The Bistro At Acorn Hill — Restaurant in Lynchburg

We went to Acorn Hill Bistro today. We were greatly disappointed. We had a reservation for four. The hostess told us she had to clear a table while there were several tables that were empty. After more than 15 minutes we had to remind her that we were still waiting for our table. We had to give her our names again and she said oh your table is over there. While we were waiting to be seated she sat a table of 8. After waiting for at least another 15 minutes I had to go ask for menus. We only got 3 menus for the four of us. It was at least 30 minutes after that we finally saw a waitress. Once we finally put in our drink order we waiting another 15 minutes. Our waitress was so inattentive that we had to wait to flag someone down so that we could get straws for our drinks. When our food finally came, only half of the table was served. The rest of the food sat in the serving window. We had to ask for the one side that was never served. The food was mediocre. The eggs Benedict were good. However the potatoes were not cooked enough and were so hard they were not edible. Our waitress never returned to our table except to bring the bill. She had a bit of an attitude with us and just didn’t seem to care a bit. Definitely did not deserve a tip. The table of eight that was seated before us after 1 1/2 hours still hadn’t gotten their food. For a Mother’s Day brunch they severely let us down. Worst service I have ever experienced. Needless to say we will not eat there again. Such a...

The food here is alright. The menu is quite small and specialized, which at most restaurants is generally a good thing, but unfortunately this restaurant hasn’t really mastered any of the ones we tried.

On the menu, the breakfasts quesadilla’s contents are well explained. However, eggs came in my quesadillas which were not supposed to be based off of the menu’ description. This would be fine for most people, but I happen to not like eggs (which is why I ordered the quesadillas. I thought there would be no eggs).

Their specialty pancakes were better. We got chocolate caramel pecan pancakes. The pancakes were done well, but the sauces taste like they are store bought or just poorly made.

On both plates we ordered that had poached eggs, the eggs were over cooked and not poached.

Also some of the dishes were supposed to have dressed side salads, but they were just pieces of spinach topped with a single slice of strawberry.

The hot chocolate I ordered also came out ironically tepid, with clumps of the hot chocolate mix still floating in it, giving away the fact that it was just boxed hot chocolate.

We did tell our server about some of these issues and she did allow us to swap out some of our meals for new ones, and she did give us a discount for...

I was really excited to visit this charming, quaint spot after winning a Mother’s Day brunch here. The atmosphere is cozy, and was super cute! Unfortunately, the breakfast didn’t quite live up to expectations in terms of flavor, and the service felt a bit lacking. I had the eggs Benedict. After we finished our meal, no one came back to check on us, so we weren’t sure when or how to leave. I also noticed some cleanliness issues, like dust and dead bugs on the windowsill, which took away from the overall experience. That said, I think with a bit more attention to detail, this place could be great. I think it would be really cool to have a print out of the history of acorn hill at the tables because I’d love to know more about the history! Still, I’m grateful for the chance to...
