I spent a week in Blacksburg, VA recently, and found several incredible restaurants, one of them being Gillies. I was having a little bit of a problem deciding which wonderful dish to try, but I finally settled on Bruschetta with Portabello Mushrooms as an appetizer and Foccacia for the main course. (I must have been fixated on bread that day) The Foccacia was alright, nothing special. But the Bruschetta was incredible. I had to go back for lunch a couple days later and the food was excellent then as well. My favorite dish still is the Bruschetta, I would go there and get several orders regularly if I lived near Blacksburg. Gillies specializes in vegetarian, but they also do seafood and sometimes other meats. They have incredible food, a wonderful atmosphere, good prices, and friendly staff.
