Best Historic Restaurants in Charlottesville

Best choice for a memorable anniversary dinner. Thank you for making our evening special in so many ways.

Wonderfull place, fantastic ambiance, great history, beautiful grounds, great service, and very accommodating for allergies. Cooked in olive oil for us to avoid seed oils, though heating olive oil is not ideal. Only ask would be capability to cook in Ghee, Tallow, or Coconut oil. Awesome that they do farm to table, right from their organic garden!!

Always a great experience The service, food and presentation are all consistently excellent

Excellent experience from start to finish. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We were greeted so lively and seated right away. Service was perfect also. Food was excellent. Gnocchi was amazing and burger was very good. Spicy shrimp appetizer was also great. Brownie sundae was huge. Overall a great experience.

Excellent cuisine in a quiet and civilized setting. We had the soft shell crab appetizer, a salad, the bavet steak special and duck confit with gnocchi. The desserts were sticky toffee pudding and a house mocha coupe (sundae). All the food was excellent with huge props to the chef on the expertly cooked and very large soft shell crab. The gnocchi were also amazing pillows of delight! Our server was solicitous and quietly friendly --she helped on the wine selection and made sure the kitchen got us out and done in time for our concert. We enjoyed every moment at the outstanding gem of a restaurant!
