    They did not have my reservation on file. Fish and chips was mediocre. Coconut shrimp was over cooked. Bar did not know how to make a mojito. Charlottesville is a great restaurant town but this just didn't measure up. Don't think I'll be back.

    I brought my family here for Easter brunch and had a phenomenal experience. The food and service were exceptional. If you're debating about it, just go ahead and order the crab cakes! We sat on the porch outside, enjoyed our time, and didn't feel rushed, even on Easter Sunday! However, Rhett's is actually not using OpenTable for reservations. They use yelp, I believe. So when we arrived, we were one of many families who's reservation was not on the books Sunday afternoon. Rhett himself came out, apologized, and then did everything he could to make our reservation an overall positive experience. I would absolutely recommend going to Rhett's, they took great care of us! Just don't book through OpenTable.

    Place is Awesome but not on your Network which put them in a bide when we showed up with no actual reservation, they made it work in style. OpenTable needs to get their act together!!

    Unfortunately they don't except opentable reservations. Only use yelp to take a reservation. Go figure.

    The food and service were excellent as usual. HOWEVER, we went there for Tuesday's All U Can Eat Crablegs and after we were seated were told Rhett's no longer offers that. We were beyond disappointed. We had been going about once a month since it began. We were shocked! Then we find out that only 1 1/2 lb. would be $33 without any sides! We saw the prices rise over the last couple of years but it was a special treat for my grandson and me so even though really pricey (usually $100 after tip) it was worth it. Had we known it was no longer offered we would have gone elsewhere. We really did only go there on Tuesdays. They should at least put a sign on the window or board on Tuesdays to let people know. It was a tradition but sadly no more.☹️

    Sadly I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. We were told we could only order from pages 1 & 3 of the menu, which happened to be the most expensive. For the food we got, it was not worth $55. Small selection and high prices. I won't be back

    Oysters were superb - especially the Oysters Rockefeller! The She Crab soup was awesome! Our bartender was so nice and personable and took great care of us! Will return if ever in the area again!
