“Recommendations:- Cocktails (possibly the best in town)- Hamachi crudo (beautifully complex)- Market fish entrée (amazing broth)- Raki (so hard to find!)Concerns:- Salt levels often very high- Charred octopus was very tough (overcooked before charring)Overall a lovely atmosphere and excellent service. A great place for a social upscale dinner, few places like it in Cville. The RAKI is served traditional style and this is the only place you can find it in Cville - it is strong and for some an acquired taste but I highly recommend.“

“Visited on a Wednesday during Happy Hour. It was nearly empty so our food was ready pretty quickly. I was glad to see many flavors of Bold Rock, including the seasonal ones. It's Charlottesville so that's unsurprising but nice nonetheless. Food-wise, I ordered the steak Ottobun, rosemary fries, and baklava. My guest order brussel sprouts but to my advantage started to get full so I commandeered them. Everything was tasty and flavorful. I see why this place is so popular. My only gripe is the steak itself wasn't as hot as I would've liked. It was lukewarm at best. After I finished dining, I noticed the happy hour discounts hadn't been applied, but they apologized and promptly refunded me for the difference.“

The food was very well prepared and enjoyable. Overall, a great experience and if I was in the area again, I would definitely make a point to stop here again.“

“The only place in dairy market we are excited to eat at. Have eaten there twice and also ordered them to cater a small event. I love everything I've had. The lamb gyro has more depth of flavor than others I've had and the falafel is also very good. Enjoyed the sides too. Very helpful service!“
