Took my wife here for her birthday dinner, the service from Chelsea was great, the food was great, and they had a great list of non alcoholic drinks which was a pleasant surprise! This was the first time I’d been to their new location and what a beautiful job they did with the renovations. R&V has been a Morganton staple for 15 years and I hope to see their continued success for many years to come!

My son and Daughter-in-law took me there for dinner on the Saturday after Mother's Day. We went early, around 5-5:30. We were seated immediately and the waiter took our drink order. I drink Martinis and I like one the way I make it. I told the aiter and when I got it, it was JUST as I had ordered. The food was OUTRAGEOUS. We has a small plate of deep fried Mozzerella topped with balsamic marinated Heirlooom Tomatoes and pesto sauce. It was really small but so flavorful. We shared that. I had Salmon as did my son and my DIL had the Brick Oven Pizza, Puttenesca. She sais it was great. Even the crust was good. The salmon came our with CRISPY skin and moist, flavorful "meat". It was served with saffron rissoto, tri colored cauliflower and watermelon slaw. It was to die for! We were stuffed but the desserts sounded so good that we had them too. The cheesecake was so nice and light aand flavorful and my son said the Bacon Brownie was sinfully delishous. It is 3 minutes from my home and I look forward to going again. SOON!

Such a delightful evening! It began with our greeting at the front door and continued to our departure! Great staff interactions, fantastic atmosphere, and delicious food! Our server was fairly new, and the subtle training opportunities offered to her by senior staff during our dining experience were amazing and on point! Will visit again!!!

We enjoyed a great evening with friends and had the great pleasure of having Kevin as our waiter! He was super attentive, always topping off our waters and checking in frequently! The cocktails were very good and the desserts were amazing! Highly recommend and encourage you to ask for Kevin!

This restaurant was recommended by a neighbor and it didn't disappoint. They have a variety of seating options. You can sit in the main entrance, the bar, formal dining room or out on the patio. The mixed drinks were perfect. We ordered the naked Airline Chicken and the Bianca Wood fired pizza. Everything was delicious. We didn't leave room for dessert but had to get a piece of the blueberry cheesecake to go. Great restaurant we will for sure be back.

What a gem in the heary of Downtown Morganton! Great beer and wine selection alongside their seasonal and thoughtful cocktail menu! The food ranges from artisan pizzas to gourmet meat dishes. I recommend the PEI mussels! The atmosphere is so cute and welcoming. We enjoyed the mural on the outside! Plenty of parking. Walkable to downtown. Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful place to do dinner on a girl's night! Super cute vibes inside, loved the little lamp on the tables. The ribeye was delicious, and so were the drinks!
