Best Restaurants in Charlottesville

The Melting Pot is my (and my husband's) favorite restaurant. We've been to multiple location and we've loved them all - the one in C-ville did not disappoint! I took my husband there for his birthday and we have such great time! The staff was very friendly and recognized my husbands birthday, our waiter was very kind,, professional, and personal. The ambiance was perfect as always (aside from a really annoying couple that sat at the table next to us and used there PHONE ALARM TIMER every time they cooked something in their fondue pot!! Seriously folks, please do not be THAT person....But that's the first time we've witnessed something that annoying and it's definitely not the restaurant's fault obviously). The Melting Pot offers a wonderful variety and my husband and I always leave there feeling great in every way. This is a wonderful "date night" option and allows you to take your time, eat slowly, and engage in conversation. You will want to allow 2-3 hours for this (but what an amazing 2-3 hours!). Highly recommend. More

It is always the best and my favorite restaurant in Harrisonburg. Living in Sarasota with so much diversity of cuisine, that is saying a lot. Keep up the personnel and great job at food and atmosphere! More
