Robert E. Lee Hotel- Lexington Virginia
So, we were in Lexington Virginia... Stopping by the Robert E. Lee Hotel seemed appropriate.
We strolled through and checked things out. The place looked like a wonderful old hotel... Which it is.
We had a great lunch in their restaurant, Rocca Bar Ristorante, which does not sound like the name of a restaurant inside of a hotel named after the Civil War General. The name sounds a little out of place.
BUT, we went in and gave this place a try and we loved it! I had an Italian sandwich that was VERY different. It had a little more of a kick than I am used to, but it wasn't overwhelming. I think they put pepper seeds on it, and it really gave it something extra. We had a great waitress too, who was all over the place.
We figured we would enjoy the food here, but we really liked it. Everyone was happy with what they had ordered. We were expecting good, but we got exceptional.
AND, as I said before, we had a lot of great meals in Lexington......
