Restaurants near Martinsville Speedway

A tradition for our family is to enjoy Christmas Eve dinner in a nice restaurant. Lucky 32 has been a family favorite since my son and daughter were kids. Now married with their own children, we are continuing that with the next generation. The food was delicious and service is always top notch.

The Green Valley Grill is just wonderful! We stopped by on our way back to Durham after visiting the Christmas light show at Kersey Valley Farms. I had been wanting to take my husband there after eating lunch with friends on a Greensboro day trip. The food did not disappoint, and the cocktails were some of the best we've ever had. We enjoyed a selection of small plates, and the crab-spinach dip was especially good, with the lovely sharp cheese balancing the slightly sweet crab and fresh spinach. The only hitch is that it was VERY BUSY when we arrived, and we were seated in a remote corner of the bar instead of the main dining room, despite having reservations. No biggie, I've worked in the food industry, so I get it. Our server overlooked us for about 15 minutes, and we got pretty hungry. So, my husband spoke briefly to the GM about getting some food, and then they overwhelmed us with attention and gave us one of the small plates at no charge. This is how you turn customers into loyal patrons. We would drive to Greensboro just to have dinner here -- it's that good!

Claire, our server, was lovely and took excellent care of our party of 7. We chose a variety of teas and treats, and she presented and explained each with care. Everything was delicious. What a wonderful holiday offering!

Food is delicious. Large wine/champagne menu with “by the glass” or bottle options. Adorable ambiance inside with available outdoor seating when weather permits. Cost is very reasonable. Employees are warm, welcoming and knowledgeable.

As always the food and service were amazing! Kim and her staff are good people!
