The Panoramic-View Restaurant In Virginia Is A Must-Visit

A beautiful view isn't required for an amazing dining experience, but it's certainly a plus. We're truly spoiled for choices when it comes to restaurants with a view in Virginia. Today's feature destination is one that will quite literally take your meal to new heights.

The Ridge Room is a rooftop tavern in Harrisonburg, situated atop the Hyatt Place Harrisonburg. Far from your average hotel bar, this elegant, beautifully designed space is a destination in its own right.

A quick elevator ride from the hotel lobby will land you inside this airy dining space, complete with sweeping views of the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. And if you think these views are beautiful, just wait until you see the food!

The restaurant has partnered with local farmers and purveyors to offer a bounty of quality produce, meat, and other goods from the Shenandoah Valley. Some fan favorites include the skillet meatballs, cheese board, Brussels sprouts, and tuna tartare.

As you can see, each dish is nothing short of a work of art. Because the kitchen makes use of seasonal ingredients, no two visits will be exactly alike. The restaurant specializes in snacks, shareable items, flatbreads, and sweets, along with an impressive selection from local breweries and wineries.

Pro tip: When the weather calls for it, head outside to the patio to breathe in that fresh mountain air.

Throughout the year, the Ridge Room offers some really fun events, such as local vineyard wine pairings, live music, Friday oysters on the patio during the summer, and happy hours.

To start your day off right, join for Sunday Brunch, one of the restaurant's most popular offerings. From craft coffees to mimosas, parfaits, and creatively topped toasts, there's no shortage of hearty options to choose from. You'll have all the energy you need to explore downtown Harrisonburg or nearby Shenandoah National Park! (Bearfence Mountain would be one of our recommendations -- it's a quick hike and scramble to the top of a mountain for absolutely breathtaking views).
