An all-around extraordinary experience! Unbelievably flavorful, creative and gorgeously plated dishes; [[HIGHLIGHT]]a relaxing, modern, tasteful dining room;[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the most gracious and hospitable service (our server Reem was lovely, effervescent and adorable). We are frequent fine dining Manhattanites, and Broadcloth could compete with the best. read more

We had the absolute fortune of being served by Cecilia and had a wonderful four course meal! Cecilia had great suggestions as this was our first time and everything was an absolute hit. There is an extensive beverage menu as well and Cecilia was very helpful for selecting a drink (highly recommend the sans-gria for any fellow N/A drinkers out there!). The European sized dishes came together for a very lovely dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The chefs know what they're doing, the front of house is fabulous, and the ambience is warm and cozy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Holy moly how is this not a Michelin list?! We came on a Sunday, all meals are al la carte. I do desperately wished we were here during the chef menu. Nonetheless,. We ordered the beet salad, tartare, scallops, ribeye & duck. Orion, yes-- the same as the constellation, was an amazing host. He guided us through the menu and was very attentive to detail, refilling water even after 1 sip! The flavor & complexity was absolutely divine. I wish we lived closer to come back again and again. The staff and the food made my boyfriend's birthday weekend an unforgettable vacation. Here's a tip: close your eyes when you take a bite here. It's amazing. The old fashioned was recommended, and definitely beautiful as a started drink but skip to the pigs in a blanket! The fat washed whiskey was to die for!!! I ordered the aspara-hanky which was a nice blend between earthy + clean. 10/10 would 1000% recommend. read more

I don't live in the Charlottesville area, but if I did, I'd definitely be a regular at Broadcloth, where Chef Tucker is really doing something special at the most unassuming building you can possibly imagine. Open only 4 days a week, the menu changes each week. If you sit in the lounge or at the bar, you can do a la carte, or there are options for multi-course tasting menus where you can choose your courses for most of them. We most recently visited for our anniversary weekend, sat at the bar with Michael, and everything was just excellent. Great portions, seasoning, protein temperatures, dish compositions...you name it, we enjoyed it. I also really, really appreciate their beverage program and wine list. Their wines by the glass list is pretty extensive, and they not only feature a really good selection from around the world, but also VA wines, especially the ones they feature from their own label, made by Joy Ting. I haven't had a wine of hers I haven't liked, but we chose our own adventure this time around by choosing different wines and splitting most dishes so we could try the majority of the menu. It's a 1-2x a year place for me just because we're not local, but it's definitely worth the drive. read more

Amazing as usual. We have never had a bad dish here. The bar staff has always been particularly helpful.

Broadcloth continues to be my favorite restaurant in Charlottesville. I've been able to have a few meals here now and each one is amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I recently learned their outside seating/patio is dog friendly (dog cannot be in your lap), which I love even more.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't wait to eat here again! read more

The service was phenomenal at this restaurant. Everything from the hostess's genuine welcome to the bartender and server reading our needs, we were very happy with all the staff. The food was just ok though. Everything we ordered was super fresh--but almost too fresh. As in, it tasted like it was just plucked out of a garden, put on a plate, and served. Not a whole lot of flavoring or sauces. A few of my dishes I was quite sure were just small tomatoes chopped into quarters and served, maybe with one other ingredient to differentiate them. The dessert, similarly, seemed as if it was just chopped up peaches with some broken up crunchy biscuits from the grocery store. The wines and cocktails were just ok. I'm glad we came, to try it, but I will not go back. read more

Delicious food and attentive service! It was fun trying so many different dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was the perfect spot for our date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We had reservations here for Sunday night, and we were one of the only two tables occupied. Service was very nice, but a mistake was made in taking our orders. We were disappointed that they were out of one of the two starters and had no ice tea or decaffeinated coffee. The mountaineer cheese toast was tasty, as was the scallops. The rainbow trout and ribeye were very good. The pork tenderloin (substituted by the restaurant for the pork belly) was extremely dry and even hard to cut. Coke refills were not free at $4 each and, unfortunately, we were served the wrong wine with dinner but it wasn't worth bringing up. The only other table besides us had order issues with their desserts, as well. Although I'd read great reviews, I wasn't that impressed with our evening at this restaurant. Maybe they just had a bad night? read more

My wife and I had an incredible dining experience at Broadcloth last night to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we arrived to a genuine greeting by the hostess until we finished our last bite, the service was outstanding. Orion was our lead server and was terrific. We had at least five staff at our table throughout the evening and everyone worked as a team....the true definition of a well oiled machine. We had the six course meal and every dish was special. So many different flavors and textures. Although every course was great, the scallops were star of the show! Broadcloth is truly an outstanding restaurant.....one you need to visit and a place we will definitely be back to for our next special occasion. read more

Imaginative and delicious pre-fix menu changes every week and is based on seasonal ingredients. The 4 plates ($60) were plenty for me, for a real experience there is a 6 plate option and a 10 plate tasting menu ($120). Prices are reasonable given the quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spacious and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The out of the way location in the Wool Mills means few people have discovered this gem; I hope more do so it stays around! I rate this the best gourmet experience in Charlottesville. read more

We have eaten several times in past years at Broadcloth and loved it. Expensive but well worth it. But went two days ago and had very disappointing experience. Wrong dish came. Hot food was not hot. Two beers on menu and one gone. No coffee with desert. Mediocre taste on several dishes. Not what we expected. Might be worth a 3 if prices were less. But for what they charge and what we expected I would only give them a 1. If I was generous I might excuse them because they had a 200 person special event they were catering next door and perhaps their attention was diverted from us. But bad excuse even if true. We will in future find fine dining elsewhere. read more

Everything about this meal was great! We both did the 4-course dinner. The Confit Pork Coppa was excellent. As always, the Dark Chocolate Crémeux is an outstanding finish. Kudos to Cecelia. She made the whole meal pleasant. read more

Incredible dinner! I had been wanting to try this place for a while now, but only just now got around to it (you have to book reservations well in advance). My husband and I did the four course option. The menu has some natural options, such as veggies, seafood, main proteins, and dessert - ours had 12 options total. We decided to select 4 different dishes each and share all of them so we could try the majority of the menu. You didn't have to stick to the categories (you could even double up on say the ribeye if you wanted to) but we did and were SO full, I'm glad we didn't try to add in another main or go for the six course instead of the four. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. Because I'm pregnant we did not do the drink pairing, but the mocktails were fantastic. The location was on the smaller side which made it feel cozy and welcoming, and the waitstaff never made us feel rushed in any way. I would absolutely done here again! I think it's been my favorite fine dining experience we have had in Charlottesville. read more

Broadcloth was suggested to us by family and we were hooked even before walking in the doors. The staff was exceptional and the food was everything promised. Topped off with the wit and presentation of Cecelia, our brilliant server. Before arriving we were told to try the chef's tasting menu with accompanying drink pairing, which we rudely cut off Cecelia and ordered before she finished explaining the best Broadcloth had to offer. Course after course was beyond expectations and the concept of weekly changing menus was not lost on our foodie pallets. Every dish had us bragging to staff that this was in fact our favorite, only to be humbled by the next plate. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will be repeat customers. Thank you for proving small towns can provide an amazing culinary experience worth of big city residency. read more

A Sunday dinner filled with perfection! From the food to the cocktails to the staff, everything was amazing. Each ingredient, plate, flavor profile is obviously crafted with such care. This was a meal to be savored, and boy did we do that! We enjoyed the grilled cheese as a starter; an elevated deliciousness with a really lovely herb salad. We additionally tried the scallops and the steelhead trout - both of which were amazing. The scallops were cooked to perfection, essentially melted in your mouth. For dessert we enjoyed the dark chocolate cremeaux which had a kumquat crème. Delightful. The drinks were well balanced, strong, and artfully done. Sweater Weather was one of our favorites, but we also enjoyed their take on an espresso martini - much lighter, more complex, well done. We will be back!!! read more

Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion. The food was delicious and unique, I love the creativity and depth of all the dishes! The staff were lovely and attentive without being over the top. We loved our server, Cecelia, she was incredibly nice and took great care of us!! A gem, we will be back. read more

Fabulous meal and dining experience! We all had the four course fixed price meal with tastings. Such a unique experience. I'm already looking for other friends to join me next time and hopefully soon! read more

It feels super exclusive once you're able to get a reservation here. We made ours almost a month in advance for a Saturday night. I was very impressed with the service, they definitely know what they're doing. We opted for the 6 course menu, so we could try all 12 items. In addition to the dinner course, we were also offered an amuse bouche and bread service. In total with a bottle of wine, our total with tip was just under $300 for 2 people. The price, though expensive, was worth the experience. None of the food dishes wowed us however- our favorite was the ribeye which was tender and flavorful, and the pork a close second. The crab cake salad was incredibly salty and the lamb was surprisingly bland. The desserts were unique. All the dishes were appropriate portions, we left quite full! read more

Cecelia is the bomb. She has all the energy and absolutely made our night. We had an amazing dinner with family and friends. The chef's tasting was worth it. The wine pairings were def worth the extra dollars. The group decided that the ribeye, the salads, the kale salad, and the scallops were the best, but nothing was bad. Highly recommend for the food, the service, and the ambiance. Not a bad cocktail in the house either! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We went to Broadcloth tonight and had a really special, warm, and cozy time with delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The flavors were fresh and creative, and the dishes were hearty and satisfying without feeling heavy. I did the drink pairing which was an extra layer of fun, and my husband got some cocktails which were both fantastic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it was a great balance of feeling special and unique, while also relaxed and easy-going.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely go back! read more

It is crazy that this restaurant is not packed at all times. $65 for a filling and delicious and unusual four course meal where you can choose any of the courses on the menu to come in any order is a really good deal. The wait staff are fabulous, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]you can hear yourself talk.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And hey, we were sitting next to uva basketball coach Tony Bennett, so in fine dining company-but everyone gave him his The seasonal vegetable salad starter is always amazing and a flourless chocolate dessert was to die for.

Good was amazing, [[HIGHLIGHT]]atmosphere was ok[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], services was amazing. The price is high. Great for a special occasion. The only bad thing is they include (already on the bill) a 18% tip. So instead of getting 20-25% tip, I went with 18. No restaurant should ever add a tip. read more

can't say enough good things about this restaurant. the food, drinks, service, etc. All was excellent! Cecelia made our experience even better... she was attentive, knowledgeable, and just so much fun all around! 10/10! read more

An extremely impressive meal from Chef Tucker and Broadcloth's incredibly talented staff. My husband and I opted for the Chef's Tasting Menu, and thoroughly enjoyed eating our way through each offering. We loved the unpredictability of not knowing what was going to come next. The service was top notch, the presentation of each dish was beautiful, and above all the taste was *chefs kiss*. The tasting menu offered a wide variety of flavors and introduced us to new combinations along the way. It was a perfect date night out to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Cecilia, our server, was excellent and friendly. We loved the choose-your-own-adventure coursing style. I did the drink pairing with my four courses and it was on point. The flavors in each dish were unique, seasonal and well-rounded. Thoughtful decisions were made to accommodate allergies/dietary restrictions etc. The overall vibe is quiet and lovely. read more

The best experience! All the food was delicious & impeccable service. Cecelia was our server & we had the best time with her. We came from out of town but worth the trip to come back! read more

Wife and I visited for our anniversary. We did the 6 course meal, and ordered a few cocktails along the way. They treated us to a glass of Champaign (though not Champaign because it's not from France, the server told us lol). Just about every item we ate was somehow out of our normal comfort zone, but the standouts in terms of amazing cuisine was the "grilled cheese" and the braised lamb over spaghetti squash. Nothing missed. Everything was good. The sourdough did DESTROY the roof of my mouth though. Amazing experience. Staff was great. Cocktails were great. 10 out of 10 recommend. read more

Nestled inside an old wool mill, string lights and exposed brick frame this memorable dining experience - the four courses my Wife and I enjoyed challenged our preconceived notions of what flavors and foods really go together. The service was excellent as well; Cecelia helped us navigate the menu and took the time to provide insightful comments on tasting notes for each dish. We will be back! read more

This is true haute cuisine in Charlottesville and while expensive it is truly worth the experience. We chose the 8-10 course chef selection and highly recommend it. The food is amazing and while we chose to not participate in the wine pairing the wine specialist and head bartender chose an amazing bottle of wine to go with the entirety of our meal. Stags Leap (2018) petite syrah. Enjoy your time as I highly recommend!!! read more
