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.

Reviews
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.
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.
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.
