   We met with friends for the weekend at The Lafayette Inn and first night we made reservations for the restaurant. Food was excellent!

   While the Lafayette Inn was short on staff, they did an amazing job of taking care of our large group. The service and food were both superb, and I love the history of the Inn and the beauty of the area. We’ll be back for sure!

   This place has lots of potential. It wouldn't take much to make it excellent, but at our second attempt in 2 years both times the food was nicely presented but needs attention to detail to make it delicious. The setting is nice in pictures (great historic building) but in reality we found the dining room to be dusty, dark (despite huge windows), and needs a coat of paint. It just needs some fine tuning to take it to the next level.

   This was our second time at the Lafayette Inn and Restaurant. Always a wonderful visit and experience, but they are feeling the impacts of the pandemic on their supply chain. Several items were out of stock

    When we arrived and saw the place we weren't sure about it. Having arrived ebout 45 minutes early we went inside and ask if we could get an earlier time. They were most accommodating an seated us right away since they were going to get busier later. Well we had the most delicious meal and great time. Definitely a do over. Do go and enjoy the food!

    This was first visit to Lafayette Inn for a meal. We were pleasantly surprised. Excellent service. A decent choice of wines. My filet steaks were prepared just as ordered. And our shared pineapple upside down dessert was perfect. We will return.

    We had dinner the Friday after Thanksgiving so not too many people were there. For us, in this environment, that was preferred. Food was fantastic - all three of us had great meals. Even though it was cold, two opted for ice cream after dinner. So rich and creamy!

    This is probably the most quaint restaurant and value priced meal I have ever had. There are about 12 tables in an old but not dated dining room. The staff was exceptionally attentive, the food was very very good, and I had a most relaxing meal. The restaurant is part of an inn, parking was easy, and it was easy to get to. Hope to go back sometime!

    Dined here to see if we wanted to use it for our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. The food was excellent and the staff was top notch. Only wish they had a quality plant based entree option and thought the portion on the corn fritter appetizer was a little small. Would certainly recommend to anyone in the Charlottesville area and we will be using them for the rehearsal dinner.

    We love this place! We are steady customers for Sunday brunch (amazing), and our guests that we bring with us for brunch are equally impressed. We have enjoyed their family meals (take home) for both ourselves and for neighbors. Their hamburgers are out of this world delicious, and we love their dinner selections. The Lafayette Inn is a treasure for dining.

    Celebrated our 46th anniversary with dinner at the Lafayette Inn. We enjoyed the filet duo, the chicken special, a wedge salad, and a grits appetizer. The grits were done three ways, with pesto, gouda, and a raspberry sauce. The filet was the perfect temperature and fork tender as usual. No matter how hard I try, I can't recreate the herb butter on the filet or the honey butter that is served with the rolls. The servers were friendly and attentive. I just wished we had saved room for dessert!

    The staff was most accommodating, setting up our group of 10 in a separate, smaller dining room - so it was like a private dining room. Carla our server did an amazing job taking care of us.

    Nice dining experience in an old inn. Excellent selection on dinner menu but quality of meal didn't match what we had read in reviews. It was a special "Cause" night so that may have been a factor. My Atlantic salmon was dry with sticky rice on the side. Nothing special, and my wife's cajun shrimp pasta was seriously over spiced. We both love spicy food but this was over the top. Nonetheless it was for a great cause.

    The history of the hotel is nice but the food was mediocre at best. We (3 of us) had the chicken over linguine and it was siting in a pool of water. Not sure if it was supposed to be the sauce or if they just didn't drain the pasta very well. 2 others in our group had the salmon and said they enjoyed it.
