Social Profile:

Lightfoot Restaurant is the creation of sisters and co-owners Executive Chef Ingrid Gustavson and General Manager Carrie Gustavson Whitmer. Their vision and good taste have made Lightfoot one of Leesburg’s most beloved restaurants with locals and visitors alike. Lightfoot, named in honor of Francis Lightfoot Lee, a member of the prominent Lee family in colonial Virginia, opened in 1999 after serving as the People’s Bank for a half-century. He moved the colony in the direction of independence and represented Virginia in signing the Declaration of Independence. The Romanesque revival–style building was completely renovated and a large addition was added to the back of the building.

Chandeliers & fireplaces fill this elegant former bank now issuing inventive New American fare.

It’s a restaurant that restored the old bank a long time ago,
so the atmosphere and interior are really beautiful and Elegant.
The better than Maryland crab soup was really delicious.
The wine was also attractive.
But the fillet mignon steak was too dry and tasteless.

The fried oysters were too thick and the seasoning was too strong,
What is worse the liver itself was not tasty.
The oysters inside were not moist either.

The interior is very beautiful, the crab soup was delicious, but it’s a pity that the main menu is not delicious.

What a unique and memorable experience! This restaurant is set inside a beautifully restored old bank, and the atmosphere is just incredible—full of character and charm. You can still see original features like the vault, which adds a fun and historic touch. The food was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and the service was warm and welcoming. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxed meal with a bit of history on the side. Highly recommend checking it out!

Stunning architecture. Restaurant sits inside a former bank. I could look at this place all day. The crab bisque soup, cup, had a HUGE crab cake in the soup! Silky soup full of flavor. Spinach salad with walnuts had a tangy dressing. The au ju sandwich is large enough for 2. Professional service. Nice vibe, lovely spot. Nicest restrooms of any place around. Check out the men’s room, can see the vault. Sit next to the fireplace for ambiance. Highly recommend

Lovely restaurant, good food and good service. The only thing that fail short is their blood orange margarita, it wasn’t freshly squeezed and overly sweetened with syrup. Also lack presentation.

It’s a very nice place and I can see at night it might be a good “date night” location. It’s grand and has lovely bones. The food is also quite good.

Ill cut to the point, if i pay 50 dollars for a dinner plate my fillet better be buttery soft, not a chew toy. And it wasn’t just the fillet, the crab dip was more cheese than crab. My hot date also wasn’t impressed by their pasta dish.

Service was spotty at best, it was V day and I understand they were probably busy. But there wasnt flowers or a candle on our table i had to ask to get these things halfway through the meal because no one noticed. Our server was nice but again not exceptional. The only exceptional thing about this place is the actual dining hall, it is beautiful but again im paying for food and service, not just a pretty sight.

Great old spot across from courthouse and Park in Old Town Leesburg. Apparently used to be a very old bank, not sure what the upstairs veranda was for Food was great and Joe was a perfect server. They split our entree, basically steak frites, which was delicious. Lovely decor and atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

I was so excited to finally eat here and was disappointed immediately. The hostess actually frowned at us when we entered! We were seated after a moment because we had reservations. I had the crab cake with asparagus and mashed potatoes and my husband had the ribeye with broccolini and mashed potatoes. I found shells in my crab cake and my husband’s steak was very tough. The potatoes and vegetables were delicious. Our waiter didn’t come back once to check how our meal was or refill our drinks. We ordered dessert which was delicious. I think if you pay $54 for a ribeye it should melt in your mouth, not have to saw though and a crab cake should not have shells! Very disappointing and overpriced! Also, charging $5 for using a card??? Aren’t the prices inflated enough? First and last for us.

I recently visited Lightfoot for an early dinner and was seated in the back near the bar. While I was looking forward to a quiet meal, the bartender’s talking was quite loud, which prompted us to ask for a different table.
For my meal, I chose the schnitzel, while my dining partner enjoyed the pork, shrimp, and grits. Unfortunately, I found the schnitzel to be underwhelming, although my partner loved their dish. On a positive note, the service throughout the evening was excellent and attentive.
To top off our experience, we discovered a $25 parking ticket on our car from a private company when we left. There was no visible signage indicating that it was pay parking, and the only small sign was positioned so low that it was obstructed by larger vehicles. This unexpected inconvenience really put a damper on the evening.
Overall, while there were some good aspects to the evening, I left feeling a bit disappointed. I might consider returning to Lightfoot in the future, but next time, I think I’ll stick to Tuskie’s.
