Small Plates, BIG Taste in Huddleston, VA

There is a new restaurant on Smith Mountain Lake, offering a new kind of dining experience; tapas-style dining. The Small Plates Restaurant offers small plates with BIG taste in Huddleston, VA. Located in Sportsman Marina, the restaurant opened on Memorial Day, and is going strong.




Tapas-style dining is very popular and usually can only be found in larger cities. The concept of this type of dining is to try various small, appetizer-sized dishes so you can enjoy several different flavors and foods at one time. Sharing tapas with a friend is highly encouraged! It allows the diner to experience new foods without fear. It is a great way to expand your culinary experience!



Small Plates also has both indoor and outdoor bars. The Dam Bar is located below the main dining area. Guests can enjoy music and dancing on Friday and Saturday evenings. The outdoor R11 Tiki Bar is on the shoreline, and serves lunch and dinner all week. The Tiki Bar is popular among boaters. It also has live music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.



The menu ranges from beef and poultry dishes, to seafood. Small Plates Chef Justin Fada, has been receiving rave reviews from customers. Owner Waller Perrow is also known to add his own dishes to the menu. He also has a culinary degree and has owned restaurants and bars before. He plans to keep the bar open year-round, adding holiday events to the calendar.



You can find some great food on Smith Mountain Lake. Being able to take the sailboat out to get dinner is one of the perks of living on the lake. If you want to relocate to Smith Mountain Lake area, call Vicki Millehan! She is a long-time resident, and your local real estate resource.
