   Really a special place. Loved the small and intimate setting and rustic atmosphere. Attentive but discreet service and the meal itself had zero defects. We shared two great starters while the red from Puglia was opened — the lamb in pastry and fabulous steak tartare (generous). Two more pieces of bread asked for came immediately to finish that off. The steak chinois was good if a little heavily sauced. Not sure where the moniker comes from. Afterwards we descended to the cellar bar with a stunning array of cordials too many to describe and a knowledgeable bartender who was generous in guiding us to The Fixer cocktail as he deconstructed its ingredients. A great experience overall and will be back.

   Great food! Great service our waitress was superb! Bartender could be less chatty with the female customers. I had to get up and go to the bar to hurry things along.

   A quaint place that is much bigger than it first appears. It's cozy and warm, and yet spacious. The food is incredible from start to finish. I had the scallops as an appetizer and the celery root tagliatelle as my entrée, and my spouse had pear and pecorino ravioli as his appetizer and the duck breast for an entrée. Everything was delicious, well-seasoned, and plated beautifully. We had the vanilla raspberry crème brulee which was perfection. Our server was attentive and kind, and gave us space to enjoy our date.

   We were in Charlottesville for our wedding anniversary and babymoon trip. We were looking forward to C&O to celebrate both occasions after reading all the great reviews. Unfortunately our experience wasn’t up to par or frankly worth the price. Ambiance was very cozy and romantic but we were seated next to a very loud couple that made it very difficult to focus on our own conversation (bad luck, not the restaurant’s fault-but something to keep in mind because it is tiny). Service was friendly and professional but took forever to take our drink order. Ordered our entrees after we finally received our drinks and then proceeded to receive the food barely 5 min later. The salmon was tasty but almost room temperature despite it coming out so fast. The NY strip was also tasty but smaller and didn’t reflect its price. Overall we were all done and paid for within 45 minutes which was disappointing considering the special occasion and we thought this dinner would be the highlight of our trip.

    Just love it when your server says Welcome Back even though we’ve never met him. They just know. It’s that attention to detail that compliments the terrific menu with well-thought out flavors and ingredients. Tip top wines and cocktails add to the mix for a great dining experience.

    Su and I got together with a couple who are long time friends. We were seated as requested in the bar room. The waiter was very accommodating, and worked with the chef to be sure that what I ordered would not trigger my alpha gal syndrome response. The extra effort for that, plus the usual excellent food, wine list, and environment at the C&O made for a great night out with friends!! Thank you!!

    Appetizer and dessert were good. Cocktails were solid. Steak entrees were not that great. Pretty tough for a prime grade cut and the crust wasn’t finished hot enough to melt the compound butter so they just stayed solid and cold. Writing a review so hopefully no one else wastes $50 each on that entree.

    All wonderful but this is the second time in recent memory where delicious food was served on cold plates at lukewarm to room temperatures. No fuss was made due to having guests, but this is the only repeated flaw in what otherwise is always a wonderful dining experience. Our waiter was outstanding in every way. Thank you, John McLarty

    my friend and i ordered the scallops and fettucine as appetizers, the salmon and lamb confit gnocchi for our mains, and finished it out with the coup and the sticky toffee pudding. our server was so helpful and chose a really good wine pairing for the meal. i felt glutinous in the best possible way - the food was rich and flavorful and well executed, and i wanted to scrape every morsel.

    Appetizer portion sizes were generous, of good value and delicious . Entrees are quite pricey ($45 for 10-12 small slices of flank steak - great sauce though) and except for the salmon, on the small side. The salmon was a bit too rare for medium rare...and far from hot! The server was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The ambiance is old country inn - very nice. Go for the appetizers - great selection and better value.
