Had dinner reservations for my husbands birthday as we were staying at The Draftsman for the weekend. We had early reservations - 6 pm to take advantage of the happy hour - and we were only the second table with guests in the whole restaurant. The host was nice and seated us immediately. Our server did not mention any specials - regular or with regard to happy hour - and she simply did not keep our water glasses filled. I watched her chat with a coworker and drink from her mug before pouring the glass of Prosecco that I ordered. Although I have never had shrimp & grits with fried shrimp, it was good. Husband had the Crunchy Gentleman and a Caesar salad, it was okay. Chose the cinnamon beignets for dessert - a waste. They are not beignets but rather fried dough balls tossed in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with a sauce. Overall the ambiance was the best part of Renewal. There are plenty of other delicious eateries to visit in Charlottesville!

I don't know if it was because of the concert in town, but despite the fact that I had a reservation for 2 at 5:45, we were there 2 hours and were not served our food for at least an hour. The food was good, but a little too salty.

The food was solid, but not sure it was worth the disorganized, sloppy service. They were seriously a mess. No one knew who was doing what despite having around 8 to 10 employees on the floor and maybe 6 tables of guests.

Food had to much salt and sauce. Steak was good but my side was greens with French fries on top and had to much olive oil on it. There was gravy type of sauce that was good ut I didnt need a full plate of it.

Went to Renewal for its restaurant week offering and was not disappointed. My friend and I shared two large starters, charred brussel sprouts and pork belly with cheesy grits, basil pesto and a poached egg, both delicious. Only downside was that the pork belly and grits was lukewarm instead of hot, which would have made it better. Our entrees were sliced sirloin with shoestring fries and crispy swiss chard, and boneless pork with crispy fried polenta and kale, both solid dishes. For dessert, we had bananas foster bread pudding and a coffee chocolate torte, which went quickly. Got there early for happy hour beer priced at $4 and house wine priced at $6. Overall, we were satisfied with the food, service and value.

Restaurant week pricing makes it a great deal. The food was excellent and I’m already craving it again. Comfort food with a modern twist, but so delicious!

We went for restaurant week. The Brussels sprouts were so good I’ll be back to have moor. We had the fried green tomatoes, boneless pork chop and beyond meat brat, finishing with the flourless chocolate tort. All excellent. They sat us early even though they were not officially open for dinner yet. The drinks were the best.

I got the steak dish. It was good but the sauce was a little too spicy for me and it was drizzled on everything, even the fries. Next time I would ask for the sauce on the side.
