Lightfoot Restaurant

"I had an amazing dining experience at Light Foot Restaurant in Leesburg! From the impeccable service to the delicious food and inviting ambiance, every moment spent there was truly enjoyable. Highly recommend for a memorable dinner with friends or colleagues!"

"This started as a bizarre experience. We had reservations. As soon as we entered the door and walked to the host stand, we were ignored by the man standing there. He eventually said he’ll be right with us, without ever looking up from what he was working on. Instead of asking how he could help us when he was done whatever he was doing, he just stared at us. Keeping with the uncomfortable feeling and wanting to be treated as a human, I just stared back. After several moments of awkward silence, he finally opened his mouth and asked what he could do for us. We were seated in the corner of the restaurant next to a freezing cold window. I made reservations here because I have heard of how lovely it’s decorated for Christmas. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any of that where we were seated. On the flip side, our food was great. The portions were healthy and everything tasted great. Our server was attentive as she could be with the number of tables she had. Overall, we won’t be back. We didn’t feel welcomed or wanted and will take our business elsewhere."

"We had a party of 6 for a lovely work Christmas party dinner. The restaurant is decorated beautifully. Tony was our server and was phenomenal. We had wonderful food and service. And will definitely be back!"

"We came here to celebrate a special occasion. We had heard great things about the restaurant so thought this would be a great reason to check it out. When we arrived for our reservation we entered and was just intrigued by the atmosphere and decor. It's apparently an old bank where remnants of the old decor are still visible from the vault door, wood ceiling tiles, and the chandeliers. There was even a table that caught our eye and we asked if it was possible to be seated there. We were told it wasn't available due to a valid reason. But as we were waiting for our table they actually informed us that they were going to make it happen and get us that table!!! For them to go above and beyond was quite touching as it made our celebration more special ... an extra thank you to the staff for going out of the way! Food was impeccable! Appetizers: We started with the honey ham biscuits (total of 4). The biscuits were so fluffy. I thought at first the thickness of the biscuit would overpower the ham, but it was actually a perfect balance of flavors, with the honey being a nice addition to the overall bite. These were so good, we ordered a second order! Deviled Eggs (total of 4) were good. My first bite was a tad salty but then the pickle it sits atop kicked in and a sweetness took away some of the saltiness. Crab Bisque - if you like she crab soup, you will enjoy the flavors here. Plus there are a good bit of crab chunks within the soup (which is pretty rare now, especially with increasing costs). Lobster Bisque (this was a special for the day) - I didn't really try this one but the person who did Loved it and said there were chunks of lobster in the soup. Entrees: I asked for suggestions from Remi our server, and he stated one of his favorites is the Shrimp & Lobster Pasta Entree. I opted for this one and was not disappointed. It's served with a cream sauce but it wasn't heavy at all, over a bed of angel hair. My first bite provided a burst of flavor that makes my mouth water just thinking of it - one with a light smoky flavor, blended with perfectly cooked shrimp, and the sauce providing a perfect compliment. Cheeseburger - we were told the ground beef was from the parts of the tenderloin steak they don't use. That was enough to sell us on it. Person loved it! Tenderloin and Crabcake Special - Tenderloin was tender and cooked perfectly to the medium rare request. Crabcake was full of lump crab. Served with housemade mashed potatoes and asparagus. Another great option. Dessert: Pumpkin Brownie with vanilla ice cream. The brownie is a generous serving and provides plenty to share. Bathroom: Bathroom is still the old-school metal stalls. There are a total of three stalls, one being the wheelchair accessible. I don't recall a changing station but perhaps it's in the larger stall. It was also a nice addition that they offer different lotions - especially nice during the cold winter days. Highly suggest when you're looking for a nice place to celebrate a special occasion!"

"We held our daughter's wedding luncheon in the Marshall room upstairs. Everything was perfect. We scaled down the menu to 8 entrees and at least one person ordered each of the entrees. We also ordered several appetizers. Everyone cleaned their plate which is a good testimonial to quality and taste of the food. We decorated the room and tables ourselves. Carrie (co-owner) was very helpful in helping us pick menu items and allowing us in the room early to decorate. We were very glade we picked a private room vs. just reserving 14 places in the main dinning room. The small room fee was well worth the money to have a private get together. Remmy (our server) did a great job of keeping on top of drink orders and getting all the entrees delivered to the right people. Our daughter and new son-in-law were very happy will all the food and arrangements."
