“Another gourmet dinner and pleasant experience. We split the scallops starter, steak Nicoise with sides of beets and mushrooms. All were cooked perfectly with interesting sauces and flavors(like horseradish sauce cream sauce on the beets). Our friends came to C&O for the first time and loved it.“
“We chose this place because it was new to us and it was our 16th anniversary dinner. Not only were we pleasantly surprised by the hospitality from beginning to end but also by the ambience and delicious foods. Our server , Cecelia was beyond delightful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She and Michael made our meal that much better of an already delightful experience. The chef, kitchen and experienced beverage team catered to our dietary and beverage needs without a problem and pivoted seamlessly. We appreciated the culinary experience and will recommend Broadcloth to everyone. We will absolutely be back !“
“This place is ridiculous in the best definition. When was the last time you had a *new* inventive, delicious sandwich on bread that is so amazing you can't believe it's real!? Well come here and you will. The restaurant is bright, modern yet homie, with lovely staff. And above all *clean* which is hard to find these days.“
“10/10 absolutely recommendThis was one of the best buffet experiences I've had ever. The food was amazing, hot, flavorful, and fresh. Our waiter kept the drinks full constantly and made sure we were taken care of. The only thing I would say wasn't top tier was the amount of people there were in the buffet. But that's just the introvert in me.“
“Awesome place to have lunch! They have a nice buffet of Chicken, biscuits, corn bread, and lots of other country style foods. The food and workers all together were very friendly. There is also a nice place to take a walk to the general store.“
“Best burgers in town, served by the sassiest elderly women alive who are over your shit and will let you know it. This is such a vibe, and if you grew up in the south, it'll feel like a little slice of home served with a side of fried pickles, which are also incredible.“
“A small gem in cville! The bread pudding is to die for and I never leave google reviews but the food at this place is so tasty and well seasoned it’s insane. I recommend the crispy Brussels sprouts as an app and obviously the bread pudding. Love this little place!“
“The facility speaks of elegance, and the menu covers most tastes. Food is well prepared and presented. The food temperature was very good except for broccoli - it was cold. The waiter could have been more attentive - eventually, another waiter came and cleared our table. This is a great restaurant. It just needs a few tweets to make it top shelf.“
“Mom & Pop upscale diner, very quaint. What disappointed me was the French toast. French toast was not soaked in the egg batter then was cooked at low temp. Result was white bread that barely tasted like French toast and a soggy exterior. Eggs & sausage were good. Pecan pancakes were good. Country ham was very salty. Coffee was just ok. Great server Bev H.“
“While visiting Charlottesville, we stopped in at Pico Wrap for breakfast and lunch. The selections we had were great. The service was excellent and our favorite dessert is the banana bread. We loved it so much that we ordered a whole loaf to be ready for pick up on the day we were to leave. This is a made from scratch dessert.But, again, everything we tried was great. They will definitely be a stop the next time we visit the area.“
“In recent years, each Easter has wound up taking on a theme based on whatever core activity Mom and I have chosen to participate in. “Casual elegance” and “I trust” certainly summed up this year. It may initially seem like an impossible contradiction, but from the moment you arrive at The Clifton, you find that not only is “casual elegance” is very achievable but that the ability to achieve that balance is core to the venue's charm. It's about finery being presented in a genuinely warm, inviting way. It's like being greeted after a long journey, shown to a cozy library where you can relax and warm yourself by the fire, while being excitedly told "Wait until you see what we have prepared for you today! We really hope you'll like it!" From the moment I saw that The Clifton was hosting a curated 3-course meal, I knew that was my first choice for how to spend the day and glad when that matched the tone Mom was in the mood for as well. That is where "I trust" came into play. I didn't know exactly what we'd be eating but I wasn't the least bit concerned about it. Having already witnessed how exceptional even "burger and fries" produced in Chef Matthew's kitchen was, I knew to trust that whatever was presented before me, I was not going to be disappointed. That trust was once again validated on Sunday. Not only was everything that Mom and I ordered amazing, but it also disproved the notion that "fine dining" means you must leave the table hungry. There is a very logical nature to the menu options in each category. Mom ordered the oysters and shrimp choices ... I ordered the smoked salmon waffles and leg of lamb ... and, in both approaches, the portion sizes were exactly what we wanted. Both of us got exactly what we wanted and got exactly as much food as we wanted overall. The fact this was so easy to achieve is yet another demonstration of Chef Matthew's expertise in achieving a wonderfully balanced experience for a variety of people and appetites.“
“Food was DELICIOUS. I had scrambled eggs and potatoes. What can you do to make this taste so good? I have no idea but they do it! Reasonable prices, awesome staff, fun environment. My friend had the breakfast sandwich and was equally impressed with the taste. Definitely visit this place for breakfast!“
“My husband and I were just here the other and were thoroughly impressed! It was wonderful to eat somewhere where I could be accommodated safely with my food allergy. Our server, Jen, was extremely attentive and the food was phenomenal. I have recommended it to several friends already and we will definitely be back soon!!“
“A go-to recommendation for larger parties (6-8), vegetarians, or parties with a variety of tastes and preferences. You'll get high-minded flavors in a relatively casual setting with excellent service. Oakhart has some of the best vegetable dishes in the city (beets or charred carrots), while also offering excellent pizzas. The cocktails are creative and affordable ($13). Consistently a five star experience.“

“Staff were very attentive and helpful with our food and beverage selection. When it got crowded, it got a little loud but you could still hold a conversation. T-shirts and goodies were cheap!!!! Parking was good. I'll go back when I visit!!“
“Busy Saturday morning in Charlottesville! Sat at the bar for breakfast. Gordon (bar manager) was amazing! He was extremely busy mixing unusual and intriguing cocktails while taking care of a steady flow of customers eating at the bar. He was consistently kind, calm, enthusiastic, extraordinarily attentive and fun! It's wonderful to have such great service at a restaurant - often rare - and Gordon's demeanor and efficiency were top-notch! (Oh, the breakfast food was great, too!) Happy customer!“
“Don't let the outside fool you, this is a great little place. Support local. Excellent burger and fries. Onion rings were delicious as were the fried pickles. Definitely will go back when in the area. Oh and correctly priced beer is a plus too.“
“I was visiting the area for a concert, and my friend and I stumbled upon this place. It had an excellent selection of beer and the bartenders were very informative and helpful when choosing the right beer for us. I was not hungry, but my friend got a huge chicken sandwich that smelled and looked delicious. Additionally, they have a bookshelf of games, so my friend and I were able to drink beer, have some food, and play some cards games, too. Overall, atmosphere is a busy yet casual beer hall. I will definitely return to this place next time I am in the area.“
“Cute and intimate cocktail bar with sophisticated seasonal / local sourced inspired fare. We had fried fingerling potatoes sprinkled with cayenne pepper and a lemony aioli that was the perfect starter, then a fancy potato bisque drizzled with olive oil and pickled onions, and a snack board of our choice that did not disappoint. Crunchy grilled bread, roasted red pepper or butter and shallot spreads, fancy vinegar based deviled eggs with garlic chips, pickled red beets.. all so good. Capped off with our favorite drinks. This would be a great first date destination.Fall in love at the Tonic❤️“
“Came in for breakfast… and Sam’s knocked it out of the park! Friendly, attentive and timely service. I ordered eggs and sausage with a side of home fries. I don’t take for granted when things are done right - and everything was perfect. Strongly recommend a stop here for breakfast!“
“Service and food were impeccable! The food had the best flavor and melted in your mouth. Never had to wait on a server to get a refill or food order as they consistently checked back but without being over bearing. Just all around amazing, would highly recommend and will definitely revisit if I am in the area again as I was just in town visiting.“
“Servers are kind but it seemed a little understaffed. The lobster bisque was overrated and overpriced for my taste. Didn't try anything else on the menu. The music was great, but then again I was one of the ones performing, so does that invalidate my review? ?“
“We ate at Broadcloth. It was excellent! The four of us each had the four-course selection. Scallops, pork confit, spinalis dorsi tartare, rib-eye, and dark chocolate crémeux were all to die for. Service was also top notch. Other places in C-ville should take lessons from this place.“
“We can’t say enough good things about our experience at Duner’s! We had mixed drinks, appetizers, entrees, salads, soups and dessert. There were 6 of us and we all agreed EVERYTHING was delicious! Usually at most restaurants there’s at least one thing that isn’t as great when that much is ordered, but that definitely wasn’t our experience! We each tried a bite (or more) of everything that was ordered and we couldn’t have been more impressed! The only downside is the noise level, which unfortunately we contributed to a good bit, but the staff handled our larger party with grace and patience! The excellent food and service more than makes up for the noise. Highly recommend!!“
“Went for lunch on a weekday. They weren't too busy and we were able to get a table and get our food without too much wait. We both ordered a pick two. I had a ham and brie wrap which was really good and a ceasar salad which was just okay. Overall the restaurant was neat and I will probably go again, but will not be ordering the salad again.Wheelchair accessibility: This is in a basement down some steps.“
“The food was delicious and there was something for everyone in our party of 5. Including 2 vegetarians and a picky 6 year old! The ambience is absolutely perfect, it just felt cool to be there. Our server, Ephraim, was truly awesome. He made us feel welcomed right away, he was efficient and quick and friendly and our food was perfect and all of us were in agreement that this experience was absolutely perfect. We will return and encourage others to do the same!!! 10/10!!“
“I secured reservations well in advance for my bday dinner. I'm so glad I did! It was amazing! Everything we ate was absolutely perfect! We ordered 9 plates for 2 people and took home 4 to-go boxes! We definitely over ordered, but we wanted to try so many things! Tapas sizes are perfect for 2. I even scored a free dessert for my birthday! This place is in my top 3 best restaurants in Charlottesville. Can't wait to go back!The staff was friendly and efficient. Parking can be difficult to find, as it's all street parking.“
“We go to firefly for a drag show. The food is always good but the service can be very hectic. You have to order at the bar and sometimes it's very difficult to get someone to take your order. The drag show is always fun and there are usually some awesome performances. The food is usually good.“
“We were promptly seated when we entered The Fitzroy at 2:30 and we were given a menu. I was not expecting much when I went in The Fitzroy for my first time. I was expecting less when I looked at their limited lunch menu of chicken wings, pretzel, chicken sandwich, burger, vegetarian sandwich, or a Caesar salad. Leaving did cross my mind more than once as I considered the six basic choices for lunch. Then as I looked around I could painly see I was in a bar and not a restaurant. They had two long bars and one row of booths and tables. I decided on a bar burger, which for whatever reason, they called their Fitzroy Burger. According to their menu description, it was just a regular cheeseburger on a brioche bun. We order a pretzel for an appetizer. It came with a sharp cheddar cheese sauce and mustard dip. The pretzel wasn't anything special. It had a good warm taste but I prefer more salt on my pretzel than this one had on arrival. Our main orders of burgers and wings were served to us as soon as possible. The brioche bun on my Fitzroy Burger had been steamed and was still warm. The hamburger was surprisingly delicious, and so were the fries that came with it. One of our burgers was on ciabatta bread. The ciabatta bread was warm and fresh, and without an upcharge. The side Caesar salad was also tasty. Our waitress was very effiecient and she continued to check on us and refill our water glasses. This was an unexpected pleasant lunch experience for me and the others at my table. I am looking forward to returning for another lunch time experience, when I am in need of a bar burger and fries. I did notice a change in their kitchen staff at 3pm. Maybe this was their shift change time for their kitchen staff.“
“Small spot gets a little crazy late night. Good cheap drink on the downtown mall. Supports Browns backers club.Vegetarian options: Buffalo cauliflower is good.Wheelchair accessibility: Basement bar, so you can get in, but tables are all high tops.“
“Wife and I decided to check this place out, pointed out from a coworker. I will say that my search for a great Reuben is over, as this place made the perfect one, reminds me of Jersey style. The service was amazing, and felt enjoyable relaxing meal.“
“Beautiful hotel, home to The Good Sport. Very lively crowd, energized by a U of Virginia televised basketball game and Super Bowl Weekend. From the valet parking staff to the host to the waitress, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The cobb salad was beautifully presented; the smash burger, served with tasty waffle fries, was great. Highly recommended.“
“The food was just ok but it cannot be beat for a quiet place to go with friends. The scenery is beautiful, overlooking the mountains and the golf course. I had the breakfast burrito and was disappointed in the lack of flavors and the way it was made (whole sausage patties and whole slices of bacon, thrown into what tasted like a store-bought tortilla with some eggs that were not really scrambled).“
“We held my sons rehearsal dinner here last night and it was great!! Everyone raved about the food and the service was top notch. Claudia was amazing as she kept everything moving and she took such good care of us. I can’t wait to go back for dinner one night.“
“The best service we have ever had at a restaurant. Ask for Derek as a server if you go. My husband’s tea glass was never more than half empty before it was being refilled. The atmosphere is very calm and romantic. We will definitely be back. Our newest favorite restaurant.“
“My kid and I love this place. In fact, I don't know anyone who doesn't like this place. It's friendly, it's well run, and it's consistent. The food and service are reliably good, the quality is good, and there are lots of monthly specials to keep things fresh.The downside (other than the pricey coffee) is that it gets totally mobbed on weekends. Not their fault, but really, just avoid weekends if you can. Don't be surprised if you show up and they quote you an hour wait. No joke. Come on a weekday. Seriously.“
“We recently moved to the area and were excited to find that Beer Run is also Amazing Food Run. I had one of the best "salads" I've ever had- the Fall Harvest Panzanella. My partner had the Picasso burger, which really was a work of art. We'll be back... probably far too often!“
“After a long drive from NJ to VA it was great to have a relaxing dinner. I had the Root Burger; it was delicious. My husband devoured the fish & chips and my daughter was very pleased that grilled cheese was offered on the kids menu. Kudos to our server Wendy M. who was very professional, attentive, and kind.“
“Been a couple of years since we've been there - not so good ... burgers were way overdone even for a smash burger, dry and no flavor. This time was much better. Nice crusty "lace" on the edges and, although still smashed (but not "crushed,") a tasty, juicy, flavorful burger. Will go back! ( Sidenote : iced tea, instant, not so good ...go for the beer!) Pleasant experience.“
“The service was wonderful with superb attention to detail (than you Jess). The food was spectacular, prepared with imagination and flair. We were especially impressed with how they navigated the obstacles of a Gluten Free diet. There's a lot to like about the Ivy Inn!“
