Stepping into Pollock Dining Room feels like entering a culinary retreat where each dish is a story—and I was lucky enough to indulge in the full narrative.
Let’s start with the sweet finale (because dessert always deserves top billing). The Flourless Chocolate Torte is a rich, indulgent masterpiece—dense, deeply chocolaty, and unapologetically bold. If you lean toward something lighter yet equally elegant, the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake is a stunner, blending creamy textures with that satisfying caramelized top. For something wholesome yet delightful, the Blue Ridge Parfait layers fresh, tangy yogurt with granola and berries—perfectly balanced and beautifully presented.
Morning adventurers will love the Hiker’s Power Breakfast, a hearty, energizing plate that fuels both body and soul. It’s wholesome without compromising on flavor. And don’t sleep on the warm, comforting Oatmeal, a classic done right—simple, satisfying, and subtly sweet.
The wine list is where Pollock Dining Room truly shines. Their Private Label Shenandoah Series is poetic: the Viognier Sunset is bright and floral, perfect for early evening; the Dry Rosé Daybreak offers a crisp, refreshing start to any meal; and the Cab Franc Night Sky is moody and complex—ideal for winding down. Don’t miss the Shenandoah Rapidan Blackberry or Shenandoah Apple for fruit-forward, local flavors that sing.
Among whites, the Barboursville and Wente Chardonnays bring creamy notes and oak-kissed elegance, while the Seaglass Sauvignon Blanc is zippy and citrusy. Fans of lighter wines will appreciate the Barboursville Pinot Grigio and Rockbridge Tuscaroa White for their easy-drinking charm.
Top it all off with a glass of Capasaldo Prosecco—bubbly, celebratory, and as sparkling as the experience itself. Dining at Pollock isn't just a meal, it's a memory.
