With the large amounts of hair, dirt, and other crumbs and debris coupled with the discussio with the large amounts of hair, dirt, and other crumbs and debris coupled with the disgusting state of the workout facilities, the loud noise pollution from rooms directly next to me including snoring, and the fan sounding like an airplane was taking off in my room, I will never stay at this property again.

Went for late dinner (around 9 pm Sat). Were seated right away.Overall service was excellent and the restaurant seemed relatively clean, even after dinner rush.Typical ambiance on par with the likes of Chili's, TGIF, and Applebee's. Food wasn't bad, but was disappointed with the prime rib.Maybe it was late evening but it tasted like it was in the warmer bit too long.Chicken taco was OK and Cobb salad was decidely average.Portions were generous.The food was competent at best but did not wow me.Overall, 3 1/2 stars ...

I would give this place six stars for our recent experience if I could. We attended the local graduation services and had a large group of family members (12). The whole town was extremely crowded and we made reservations via Open Table. With traffic & detours we were a few minutes late and called from the car to explain. The staff said, "No problem" and we were seated as soon as we arrived. Our waitress was very attentive and did an excellent job of servicing us during the entire meal. Even though there were people waiting when we left, we were not rushed in any way. We found the menu to be more than adequate and everyone was pleased with what they ordered. The desserts were awesome and we went away happy. We plan to return if we are back in the area.

We've lived in Lynchburg for almost 5 years, and have never been so we decided to finally try it. They had a sandwich board outside advertising two cocktails.When we were seated, there was a table tent with another featured cocktail. An image of the character, Deadpool holding a martini glass in front of a bottle of Aviation gin, with the text "Shaken, no slurred. Ask your server about our Deadpool cocktail!" I was intrigued, so I did. She was clueless beyond that the drink was made with Aviation gin. Great guest service, Megan. I ordered the "Summer Collins" - featured on the outside board. It was not what I expected. Made with coconut water, and lacking anything to cut that sweetness. Not sure who came up with the recipe, it was a disappointment.We ordered the pimento crab dip appetizer, "Red pepper seasoned cheese dip loaded with lump crab & Louisiana hot sauce, served with flat bread & tortilla chips" - Umm. No lumps of crab (we could taste crab, though), NO hot sauce. Not on top, not mixed in that we could taste. The dip was cheesy, but needed that punch of heat. By the time our server came back around to check on us (so we could request hot sauce) we had finished it - we were hungry.We ordered entrees and waited. Our food took FOREVER, though Megan did stop by to continue to tell us that our food would be right out. Really. Coming right out. In a few minutes.When our meals arrived we were satisfied. All the food looked amazing. The portions were BIG for the price. My trout was an entire large fillet, enough for two people, topped with shrimp, scallops, and a lovely crab cake. My daughter's grilled primavera looked lovely and she was happy with it. Hubby got the BBQ mac and cheese. Also a winner. Our food was wonderful. The start of our meal was a bit rocky with the server issues. All three of us took home leftovers. We will likely return.

You may feel like you're entering a speakeasy through our lower level entrance, but you'll know you're home when you sample our brews and burgers. Enjoy our relaxed, warm, but modern dining area for a weekday dinner or weekend celebration.

Bootleggers is popular for a reason! The food is great! But there's almost always a wait. We try to hit it most times we're in Lynchburg, but unless you have the whole evening to spend, you might want to go in the off-hours.Hey friend, thank you so much for being a big Bootleggers supporter! We appreciate your visits and are so glad you enjoy our food. We are looking forward to your return in the future.

I will say of the 4 dishes we had at our table only 1 seemed to be really enjoyed. I ordered filet with shrimp cream sauce (it was more sirloin quality/either over cooked or not a good cut) the sauce and shrimp was good. Husband ordered seafood platter or whatever and crab cakes were mushy, fish was ok, Brussel sprouts were gross-soggy. Friends had sirloin (was ok but dry) but her husbands meal was good. He had the jerk chicken and ate all of his meal and sides. Filet was very disappointing though. Same price as other places and was not the same quality. Artichoke dip and chips were good though- no photos cause kinda disappointing visit. I will still go again and give another try.

This is our go-to eatery when we are in the Lynchburg area. Over the last few years we have sampled many different pizzas and appetizers, occasionally have room for dessert. Recently we tried a sandwich. For the most part all are quite tasty with only one (recent) disappointment (Mac and Cheesy Pizza - too little Mac and Cheese and just not "there" on the flavor scale).We were at Waterstone three times the last two weekends and each time were disappointed in our service - slow and inattentive. Usually there is a line out the door with a wait for a table, not these times, twice we walked in and were seated right away. Is there something going on we don't know about?Thank you for your review, Melissa! We are thrilled to hear that we are a go-to for when you're visiting Lynchburg! We apologize for the inconsistency in your service over the last couple visits, but we appreciate you writing us about the matter. We'd love to speak with you more personally about your last few experiences with us if you could email us at [email protected]

After a less than stellar first experience a few months ago (reviewed previously), we decided to return for another try. What a difference! The service was excellent and efficient, and the food arrived quickly/accurately and was excellent. It certainly seems (from my limited sample size of two) that things have improved significantly in the last few months. We will certainly be returning!
