Restaurants near Keswick

“Our wedding day at Keswick Vineyards was perfect from start to finish - not an exaggeration. Everyone on staff made the entire day seamless, so we were able to truly just arrive and enjoy the day. When weather caused a hiccup in our day, our cocktail hour was moved under the tent no problem, drinks were brought to the wedding party while we waited out the storm, and we were able to keep to our schedule due to Cindy and team's fantastic planning. The venue itself was beautiful - the pool, house, and vineyard made the perfect photo backdrop, the carriage house where we got ready was the perfect secluded spot for our wedding parties, and I just truly didn't have to think of a single thing. The inclusions to the venue rental (tent, chairs, tables, etc.) made planning that much easier, along with vendor recommendations, and Cindy and team are true professionals who know what they're doing and will ensure your day is just about you and your love story. We were also lucky to have Cindy as our month of coordinator, which if you're lucky enough to snag one of her limited spots, DO IT! Going into our wedding, I truly felt so stress-free and like everything was out of my hands and handled. I truly cannot recommend getting married here enough, and it makes me so happy that we'll be able to share a bottle of Keswick wine together each anniversary. Just truly can't fit how wonderful this whole team and venue is in a single review. I am so grateful our wedding day was so special and perfect thanks to this place. This is a dream venue.”

“Guacamole was amazing! Everything is so fresh.”

“I recently attended a wedding at Castle Hill Cider in Keswick, and it was absolutely spectacular—even when nature had other plans! A fierce Virginia thunderstorm rolled in, complete with lightning and heavy rain, but thanks to the venue’s excellent planning and back-up indoor spaces, everyone stayed completely dry and comfortable. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines scenic charm, excellent event infrastructure, and a team ready to handle anything—even Mother Nature—Castle Hill Cider is an absolute winner!”

“The new manager/chef at Marigold's has knocked it out of the park! The meal was impeccably prepared, and every dish our group tried was exquisite, without exception. Service was attentive and gracious, reflecting the kind of training seen at only the very best of restaurants. I think Marigold has just jumped far ahead of any of the other local "best" restaurants. Along with the beautiful setting, this is the place to come for an amazing dining experience with unparalleled flavors and delights. I will be bringing many others back, and recommend it highly to anyone who wants to experience the best that today's chefs can offer.”

“Delicious food, professional staff with personal attention. Quaint, romantic atmosphere.”

“Jacob, Fairie, and I went to Smyrna tonight and it was exceptional. Our server, David was welcoming, attentive, and down to earth. He knows a good bit about Cville music history which was a plus for us! Orhun is also a music lover and is the reason we had to check out this amazing spot. His and the team’s hospitality is top of the line. Everything we had was great and full of flavor that would include the Meze Trio, the Charred Octopus , the Market Greens and even the carrots were outstanding. Don’t sleep on this gem, Cville.”

“Chef Yoder is incredibly talented. Unexpected food combinations that blew us away. Amazing wait staff and don’t skip the beverage pairing! Highly educated sommeliers on staff! It was just dinner, it was an experience that I haven’t stopped talking about weeks later!”

“This place is a must visit if you enjoy Korean food or if you are new to it and would like to try it for the first time. Excellent service provided by an amazing staff. The food is absolutely delicious! The kimchi is the best I’ve had and the menu is varied to please everyone’s taste. I definitely recommend Bulpan for an excellent meal and experience.”

“Clean. Fresh. Friendly. Try the Shrimp! 🍤 and Brisket! Both are delicious.

If you want a small bowl to try a taste, you can get one for only $6.95!
I got:
White rice, shrimp, regular queso, cilantro, mild corn salsa, salsa verde(green salsa), pico (mild tomato salsa), guacamole, chili creme salsa (kind of a creamy orange color)

It was a good flavor balance.

Vegetarian options: I love that this restaurant offers fresh cilantro as a topping and so many sauce/salsa options!

Veggies on the bar: black beans, pinto beans, Fajitas, regular queso and spicy queso, lettuce, pico, tomatillo salsa, mild corn salsa, chili creme salsa, (cilantro), guacamole, hot salsa, Parmesan cheeses, pickled onions, sliced jalapeños, tortilla chip strips, spicy ranch, and a few more.
•You can get toppings on a flour tortilla burrito 🌯 or a bowl of rice 🍚 or a salad 🥗 or a quesadilla, nachos.

Dietary restrictions: Everything is super clean, always being wiped down, & guards against cross-contamination.

The staff offered to change their gloves between making my spicy burrito and my mom's mild bowl.

Some hot salsa got on her gloves and my mom does not like spicy food.

I appreciated that because it is that level of thoughtfulness and respect that you do not always find at every restaurant you go to.

They have two different rice options: white rice with lime and cilantro and brown Spanish-style rice

Parking: Parking on the strip in front of the rest as well as additional parking in front of BJ's restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs available.

You can get salsas and queso's and different "new" ingredients on the side, so they can be tried for flavor and spice level without ruining the entire entree.

Wheelchair accessibility: Decent amount of distance between indoor and outdoor tables.

Space at round tables to have a wheelchair ♿️ between the curved bench seating.

Exterior entry and exit

Ramp from parking lot at the front door.”

“Thank you. Absolute perfection.”

“Great food, fair pricing & excellent service. It was my first visit, but I’ll be back.”

“Taste of Paris! Confused? Buenos Aires, Argentina, is known as the Paris of the Americas. These brothers have brought their home to us. Enjoy!!!”

“Charcuterie Board! Very tasty with 3 cheeses and 2 meats. Great price. Service was excellent. Yummy baguette, very good crust. Thank you!”

“Super tasty, lovely space in great location, friendly staff. Always a great visit!”

“Had a birthday lunch here…..had a bowl with many items ALL of which were absolutely delicious! Will come back whenever back in Cville…wish they were near where I live!!!”

“This store is so clean. I love their cookies. The cookies are beautiful. The only reason I didn’t put five stars is because they are about 15 minutes away from my house and I specifically went to get cheesecake without knowing that the cookies change every week. I tend to fall in love with particular treats and if it leaves me, I will be sad. Don’t get my taste buds ready for something new every time y’all are too far away for that. But I guess the app can help me now I can see what they have and don’t have. It’s not even their fault my knowledge based on their Company wasn’t Up to par. But I know for next time because there’s definitely gonna be a next time”

“I'm a huge fan of Oaxacan cuisine and CONMOLE did not disappoint! The mole guajillo with pork ribs was excellent. My only suggestion would be: if mole is the pride and namesake of the restaurant and serving as a gateway into tasting more of Oaxaca, why isn't mole even more of a star? What is mole, what makes it so complex, and why is it so special to Oaxaca? I know how much work it must take to make your mole pastes - I think there's even more of an opportunity here to share and show off. Could you offer an appetizer tasting flight of your house moles, maybe with some warm tortillas and a quick run-through by the waiter of the key ingredients of each/what they are tradionally served with? I would have ordered that in a heartbeat. Hopefully next time I'm in town, I can try your delicious barbacoa. Thank you so much!”

“It’s hard to find restaurant food that’s not super salty but everything here tastes like it’s homemade! I was so impressed by the flavor of the chicken and all the seasonal side dishes. A wonderful dinner experience!”

“We have lived in Charlottesville for 7 years. While we have only eaten at Petit Pois 4 times, it was the first restaurant we at at when we came up to initially look for places to live and it was the most recent place we have dine out, last night for NYE. It is small and cramped. They can't do anything about that. The service has always been top notch, warm, hospitable, engaging and friendly without being over the top. While nothing we have ever eaten there has been memorable; that isn't a slight. Everything has always been good and of the value that we have paid. A place like this with its' price point need to make good food that is better than what I can do at home and better than a chain or corporate "faux" bistro. Along with the good food and the exceptional service they always hit the mark. Last night was the 2nd time we have come in for a New Years Eve meal. We live within walking distance to the downtown mall and we aren't party animals so we typically don't make NYE reservations and just walk down to the strip and see if we can saddle up at a bar somewhere. Last week my fiancee mentioned that this year she would like to make reservations and go out. I searched everywhere in Charlottesville and the surrounding area and all reservations were booked up. Bummer. So, we decided to do our regular routine, put on decent clothes and walk and see if we could slide in somewhere----our first choice as Petit Pois. We go there and talked to the host to see if there was anything possible available, knowing the probability was low and we were OK with that. The host checked, talked to his folks, came out and showed us to a table. Yes, it was small and it was cramped but THEY MADE IT HAPPEN FOR US. Everything was what we expected. The food was good, the service as great, and the price was reasonable, and we had a nice meal and got home in time to watch the ball drop. Thanks Petit Pois. We will see you next New Years.”

“I love KJ, Liv, and Dex! I really wish there was karaoke!”

“The food was deliciously spiced to perfection and allowed the natural flavors to shine. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Great quality of food for the price point.”

“Great food and atmosphere!”

“We are repeat customers. The food is always great with innovative twists on southern comfort food. The friendliest staff in Cville.”

“Best barbecue in Charlottesville!”

“This place is owned by two chefs. The food is great! The coffee is good.”

“Such nice people and delicious ice cream and milkshakes with an awesome selection.”

“Incredible! Everyone loved their food. We had the whole tilapia (my husband finished it and said it was the best he’s had), a ribeye, the chicken breast, and half rack of lamb. Everything was delicious! We also had guacamole and arepita chips with white cheese. A perfect starter! I also got lemonade and it was some of the best lemonade I’ve ever had! Go eat here ASAP!”

“Food Review: Royalty Eats Catering – A Soulful Delight at Our Block Party We had the absolute pleasure of working with Royalty Eats for our recent block party, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the service was nothing short of exceptional. Nakesha and her team went above and beyond. They worked with us to create a customized menu that perfectly matched the vibe of our event, and every dish was prepared with obvious care and love. It’s rare to find a catering team that not only delivers on taste but also on professionalism, punctuality, and genuine warmth. Now let’s talk about the food — simply delicious. Every bite was bursting with flavor, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the rich, comforting sides. It’s clear that Royalty Eats brings real soul to their soul food. If you're looking for top-tier catering with heart, flavor, and flawless execution, Royalty Eats is it. We’ll definitely be calling them again for future events!”

“I’m usually a fan of moge tea and this location was no exception. They had lots of fun holiday drinks and happy hour deals for mochi donuts. Spacious interior with lots of seating”

“The food is delicious and if you're looking for the best Cuban coffee in CVille, this is your place!”
