Long time readers of the blog will know that the restaurant scene here at Smith Mountain Lake changes monthly…if not weekly. It’s been a while since a restaurant update so this will be brief and we will go in depth on some of the new ones when I’ve had a chance to sample!
At Lakewatch, no new restaurants but El Torito is now El Toreno with the same management…just a new name. Joanthan’s closed for awhile over the winter and remodeled its interior and its menu and is now reopened.
Poppy’s has opened in the old Fallon’s space (which long timers will remember as the old Pilot House space).
Waller’s has opened in the old Fins space at Crystal Shores Marina. This is owned by the same folks that used to run Small Plates.
And for all you beer lovers out there, all permits appear to be in place for a late summer groundbreaking for the new brewery on 122 in Westlake (by the cinema)!
