We've been going to the Classic Cafe for about 10 years. Since we started going we've moved away but make it a point to go back. Francis is incredible and helpful, makes you feel like family. The food is amazing even though they took the duck off the menu. But stop by and enjoy the food. You won't regret it

Great food!!, perfect service, quaint restaurant that felt like eating at grammas house with professional waiters . A bit on the expensive side for what it is but every dish was delicious with a great presentation. The live music was pleasant

One of our favorite date night or special occasion spots! Exceptional experience last night enjoyed the blackberry rambler, bleu cheese and almond stuffed shrimp, cream of poblano soup, grilled lamb chops and topped it off with peach pecan bread pudding. The service and ambiance rival the food quality. Just go there, trust me you won't be disappointed!

Had a wonderful anniversary experience here . Food was very enjoyable. The Beef bourguignon was pretty ok usually the whole dish is in a sauce . This was not . I’ve had much better was not terrible. Dessert was really good . I was most impressed with the staff. Everyone was so nice .

We celebrated a birthday with friends here and the service was amazing. Owner came by many times offering suggestions and jokes. Food was phenomenal. Good wine, delicious desert, and steaks and lamb chops to die for. Will be back

Curtis and team are exceptional! I moved away so this is the first time we’ve dined here in almost 3 years. It is still truly exceptional. I had the salmon and husband had the ribeye. And excellent wine!

My husband and I agree that this is our favorite local date night restaurant – the food is always delicious, the drinks are amazing, and the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing, like an old fashioned country club. Don’t let the modest building dissuade you: this is a five star, high class restaurant with its own garden, wine room, and live music! They even have many farm to table options on the menu, but our favorite is the jagerschnitzel. In fact, we love The Classic so much that when I was in charge of my daughter’s homecoming dinner with 29 of her friends, these 30 high school sophomores came here for their homecoming dinner. They had an amazing experience! The management and waitstaff did a fabulous job! Not only was the food amazing, but the ambiance was divine with live music. Thank you for providing such an amazing dining experience so close to home!

The Classic Cafe at Roanoke is fine dining at its best. Always incredible, never pretentious. The service is always impeccable, and the food never misses. Tonight, the Australian Lamb Chops were amazing, cooked medium rare and full of flavor. We started with the smoked salmon, and a cup of the roasted pablano soup, which started things perfectly. We finished off our meal with the Texas Sheet cake and Creme Brulee which were perfectly prepared. Our server took great care of us and attended to our needs with great detail, banter and politeness. The Classic is a definite goto for a great romantic dinner on that special occasion.
