Multiple layers of flavor and all the right textures. Visually appealing on the plate as well. Solid cocktail list here. I'm a big fan that they go old school with a hot toddy. The applejack brandy added to that is a nice touch. Service is excellent here. Prices reasonable given the quality of the dishes. Will be back the next time I'm in town for sure.

Walking up this place has great ambiance, perfect for a first date. The indoor seating was closed…read morebut the outdoor seating was great. The menu was quite promising. Ordered a cucumber chamomile gin and tonic, which left something to be desired. We started with the blackberry salad which on the menu said it also included avocado but there was none on the salad-despite this the salad was great. Our mains were good but not great. The biggest issue I found here was despite our server being very nice while ordering she NEVER checked in on us after anything arrived, never refilled waters either. So although she was nice the service was not good as there were times we wanted to order something else and one of the entrees didn't arrive as it was ordered but our server never checked in. All things considered I think I would only come here to grab a salad or appetizer.

Such a great spot!! We came here for a graduation lunch and I can't recommend this enough! The…read morestaff was so kind and attentive. The menu had lots of really yummy options and everyone is bound to find something they like. Their spinach& artichoke dip is a borderline life changing experience - you have to get this as an appetizer. They do it like it's never been done before! The firecracker shrimp was really generous and delicious, I was really impressed. No tiny skimping shrimp here. We came for brunch on a weekend so I got the Croque Madame and it sounds like kinda a novel entree but WOWWW it's so tasty and filling, but not heavy. Loved that I could sub the side for fruit too, that was very fresh. We got a bread appetizer too which was really elegantly presented. We had a gluten free guest and they did a wonderful job providing a gluten free plate to her as well. That thoughtfulness was appreciated

We recently visited this restaurant for my daughter-in-law's birthday and unfortunately left very…read moredisappointed. The wait staff was extremely slow and did not seem familiar with the menu. Several of the kids' meals came out with incorrect sides, which should have been a simple detail to get right. The calamari was very greasy, and two of us ordered steaks with the bone marrow butter. We could not taste any bone marrow flavor whatsoever, and both steaks were overcooked. My daughter-in-law ordered the lobster roll at market price, which ended up being around $38. For the price, the portion was very small and the flavor was underwhelming. Overall, the food and service did not meet expectations, especially for what we paid. Sadly, this was not the enjoyable birthday dinner we had hoped for.

For dinner we had the mountain trout and honestly it was the best trout I've ever had, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The angus steak was also absolutely mouthwatering. By the time dessert came we were already full, but still couldn't resist the sticky toffee cake and the chocolate bread pudding, and I'm glad we didn't skip them because both were amazing. Everything was rich and satisfying without feeling overly heavy or leaving us bloated afterward, which I really appreciated. Our server was so sweet and attentive the entire night, and the interior of the restaurant is cozy, charming, and just really inviting. Definitely recommend and we'll absolutely be back every time we're in town.

The fried green tomatoes were crispy and dressed with an awesome spinach and corn salad. A whole meal themselves. We ordered shrimp po boy sliders that were a little spicy and sweet with Cole slaw. I'd get them again any day! Butter biscuits and then shrimp and grits were also delicious. However, we needed to invite 2 more people because the portions were so generous. It's just too bad they are not located in our neighborhood in Florida!

We got the fish sandwich, tail of two fish and wharf scramble. My fish sandwich looks substantial at first but there were more batter than fish. Every bite I am just eating the crunchy batter. The accompanying tartar sauce was delicious. Their no cost substitute is nice touch. I would say it was a decent experience but really not sure if I would go back given there are many restaurants with similar menu. Our waitress was working incredibly hard. She seems to be the only one waiter serving all the indoor tables. It was late afternoon but still. I've been to restaurants where there were 3 handling same amount of tables and not getting services.

In case you have never been they offer steaks that are cooked in a brick fire oven. AMAZING I ordered the VA sirloin which was cooked to perfection (medium rare) with creamed spinach and potatoes. The creamed spinach and the potatoes were very delicious and flavorful. I also ordered the fried oysters which were great. Not overly fried and still maintained the texture and flavor of a typical oyster. The service was impeccable. Our waitress was very entertaining and helpful. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She ensured that wanted for nothing. The ambiance was great. I loved the cow theme as well as the signage that stated "no well done steaks". It was a great touch. Overall, I had a great experience. If I am in Charlottesville again I will definitely visit.

We are in a booth in the bar area this time. The sound was chill with guests relaxing at the bar engaging in conversations. We arrived before 6 pm and were able to order the $20 fried chicken dinner. It was like a country fried chicken with ham gravy and two sides. Very tasty and definitely a full size meal. We also had the trout, which was the thickest piece of trout I've ever had, and it was perfectly prepared. It also came with two sides, and I ordered the shaved brussel sprouts and roasted fingerling potatoes. Terrific!! Maya is a must do.

I wished there were slightly more carrots on the heirloom carrots appetizer but I liked it overall. For entree, I got the cornmeal crusted fried oysters with my choice of 2 sides (Brussels sprouts and broccoli) - it was exactly what I wanted after a days hike at Shenandoah. The waitstaff were friendly and we were able to sit out on the patio since it waa nice early summer day. If I'm ever in Charlottesville Virginia again, I can't wait to come back here!
