I really want to like this place but after our last experience, I just can't. My husband and I were…read moreout on our fist date night in over a year... we were having a great time, our waitress was super sweet... the drinks were flowing .. one old fashioned, two old fashioned ... you get it.. My husband ordered a steak and for the price, wish we were wondering if we should have just gone to Piedmont across the street.... It should be noted that we don't usually EVER dare send anything back .... But I persuaded my husband to send the steak back since he asked for medium rare and it came out well done.. if you're paying close to $60 for a steak, you should enjoy it!! Our waitress is overly apologetic and we tell her it's not her fault, don't worry, we don't mind waiting... we get the new steak and it's perfect! So now for the complaint ... the next old fashioned we get AFTER our new steak gad been cooked.... I kid you not ... it looks like they've taken all the trash from the bar and dumped it into his cup ... there are chewed up orange peels, a balled up straw wrapper, the liquid was cloudy and who knows what else was in it ... it looked absolutely horrible. It looked nothing like the first (3) we ordered.. Our only thought was possible retaliation for sending back the steak? When the waitress brought the drink, she kept apologizing which at the time I thought she was still apologizing for the steak but in hindsight I think she was apologizing for the drink because she knew it was not right ?? We were pretty turned off by that incident and at that point were certainly not going to mention it to anyone. Just won't be going back. ‍

Myself, husband, and 14-year-old grandson could not have been more pleased!! Not only did we get five star service, but 5+++ food! The delicious bread they brought out was warm & unique . I ordered the bruschetta for a starter, and without a doubt it was probably the best I've ever had and my grandson kept raving about it! The tomatoes were.SO fresh! He ordered the Alfredo with shrimp and they were some of the largest I have ever seen!

The interior gives upscale sports bar vibes. We chose a high top table toward the back of the restaurant. Our server ended up being the bartender too. They had $5 margaritas that night so I ordered one and we started with an order of their pierogies. There were four and they were served over a smear of their beer cheese. There were ok. I wanted more seasoning in the filling itself. It was pretty bland. For my entree I got their hot dog with chili and cheese with their housemade chips. I was pleasantly surprised to see a cheese sauce on the dog. It was pretty good. Some of the chips were pretty overcooked. The service brought this score down. I think the bartender was busy but plenty of servers were available. There was a lot of conversation at the bar. We probably should have just sat there. We missed out on drink refills, having our order taken promptly, and getting the check when we were ready to leave. Overall there were a lot of interesting things on the menu. I would want to return to see what else tasted good.

We went on two occasions and tried the garlic naan, channa masala, daals, chicken tikka masala and goat curries. The thali was super good with the tandoori chicken. The only adjustment I would make is the gravies are a bit on the thin side so it makes it hard to eat with naan. The curries are also served with rice so if you are eating it with rice it's no issue, but it can be tough with naan. Otherwise great institution we will be back! The owners are sweet and the quality is good. I don't think you can find better south asian food in the area. I'm giving 3 stars simply because I'm south asian and a tough critic and comparing to restaurants in nova as well, but for the Culpeper/Central VA area it's def 4 stars.

Located on the 2nd floor above a bookshop, Miss Minerva's sets the stage for afternoon tea with an…read moreold Hollywood Art Deco vibe. The menu reflects this with sandwiches and salads named for the likes of Bogart and Hepburn as well as afternoon tea options ranging from the Wonka Chocolate Tea to a classic afternoon tea and seasonal tea featuring soup and salad. We tried both the Wonka tea and the classic tea. The Wonka tea was a winner with its range of chocolate goodies, ranging from chocolate covered strawberries to a truly excellent slice of chocolate cake (that was also featured in the classic tea) right down to a solid chocolate spoon for stirring the chocolate flavored tea (you could also opt for hot chocolate instead of the tea). The classic tea was a bit more uneven, with the chicken salad sandwich and an unusual sweet potato sandwich featuring bacon jam and pepper jelly being quite good, while the thick sliced radish and cucumber sandwiches could do with refining of presentation (nobody really likes a thick slab of radish with the skin left on) and more flavor. Even a little extra salt would help. There are many varieties of tea to choose from for your classic tea and they were uniformly excellent. Service is leisurely, allowing time to relax and socialize, which is, after all, the point of afternoon tea. We never felt rushed and service was unobtrusive but professional. Our server quickly provided additional hot water for the pots and generally made us feel welcomed and well cared for. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
