It’s been a while since we’ve posted about one of our favorite local places here in Lexington, VA! We love this little town so much we just want to share all the charming, hospitable goodness with you! It can be so hard to pick what to share with you, but this week we’re giving you a run down of one of our favorite date night worthy restaurants, Haywood’s Piano Bar!

If the mention of Piano Bar didn’t win you over, the menu certainly will! Haywood’s offers a variety of elegant American fare with great appetizers as well as main courses. Start your evening with a Brand New Classic Cocktails, which offers modern twists on classic drinks you love. You can’t go wrong with Braised Short Rib and Mac and Cheese for the table, or the Autumn Olive Pork Belly! As for the main course, the options make decision making oh so difficult. Iron skillet fried chicken, Maple glazed grilled Salmon, Pan-Seared Shrimp and Grits, and a classic house cut Filet Mignon are some of our very favorites! 

As if the menu wasn’t enough, the atmosphere at Haywood’s cannot be matched! You’ll love the modern design in the historic corner building on main street, where you can admire Lexington from your table while enjoying the talents of various local musicians. Most nights you can here professors enjoying a glass of wine as they debate critical topics in their expertise, admire a couple celebrating a special anniversary (or a night with out the kids!). And not to mention, benefit from the contagious laughter of patrons who wander in to enjoy a drink and music with some sweet friends!
