The Blue Raven - Pikeville

Nice, quaint little local restaurant in downtown Pikeville. We come here pretty regularly when we want a nicer, more upscale, local dining experience....

The Blue Raven is great! It's one of my favorite spots to dine in the Pikeville area. I have only had a chance to visit a couple of times, but I look...

This is a great place right in the heart of downtown Pikeville. The restaurant is beautiful and has such a trendy vibe. The menu is fantastic as well, and...

The best lunch I've had for a long time! We stopped shopping in the car and found a new Fave! My husband had the Catfish-Tacos, I had the Spicy-Rindschleuse and we separated a goat cheese salad. The salad is in the top 3 of all time. Very fresh ingredients, no brown spots on one of the green, pistachio honey dressing and 2 softball size delicate blink fried goat cheese balls. Large beer selection and very nice people. Very impressed by how clean the toilet was. Will definitely come back!

This kind of restaurant wasn't what I expected to find locally, but I'm glad I found it. I saw some reviews before I gave the place some pretty good marks, and I can see why. For the food I decided to be a little adventurous with my order, and they had lobster bisque with crab salad as a seasonal dish. It was worth it. I'm sure the cook's cool. I would try to get it back if it wasn't for the shop windows of other things I would have tried. The atmosphere was very cozy. Nice, clean place with private feeling - even with a party of six. The staff was friendly. Our waiter doesn't like entertainment. The only thing that's worth caution is the price. Think Steakhouse dinner and not fast food price. It wasn't a bankrupt, but it's pricier than most places. My meal was about $15 for the record alone (probably more after the rest of the charges, although a friend of mine had an invoice of about $50 on Filet mignon. It doesn't cost a point here. The restaurant is definitely higher than most places I was on site. There is a bar here, although I cannot speak for the quality of mixed drinks. (I don't drink for religious reasons. A friend of mine seemed to enjoy one of his. The seat was available in another room away from the bar, so if you have a dislike of alcohol, you can have suitable seating. In short, this place is worth it if you are up in the mood for something or if you need something with this atmosphere. I would give him another way and recommend a try.
