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.

A bit on the manly side with a lot of sports memorabilia. Dress was very casual. Service was top notch. Waiters were all male and middle aged or slightly older. My wife and I shared a 14 oz ribeye steak. It was well prepared and had great flavor. We thought it was a bit pricey , but that's the direction restaurant prices are going In today's economy. The baked potato side that we selected was excellent.

Prices are high, food is excellent, and service has always been one of my favorites in the entire town. If this place was more affordable I would go more often. But I guess that would take away its special appeal.

The managing partner also came by our table very casually and friendly- I just googled their bios and its very interesting. So I wasn't sure I would like everything we ordered- I only wanted the beet salad. It was amazing!!!!!!! We also had the dip trio which I liked the hummus best with yummy bread. My daughter, her friend and her mom LOVED the calamari and said it was light and delicious. Lamb kebob was tasty. Desert chocoholic was scrumptious and the lemon granita was light and interesting with homemade cotton candy that we laughed looked like ratchet barbie hair but tasted so light. Absolutely delicious!

On my quest to try every single Italian establishment in Charlottesville somehow I missed this gem…read more The food here was spectacular. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of my meal. The ambiance of the location was that of an upscale Italian eatery. The perfect spot to celebrate a big accomplishment or fancy date night dinner. Our server was something to behold. He waited in every table in the room. It was super crowded but he took time at each table to make the customers feel welcomed. Will definitely add this to the list of must try spots in Cville.

This place is somewhere in the range of unimpressive to disappointing…read more We were seated then promptly ignored. No waters, no wine list. We just sat there. Even heard the staff person who seated us say to a co-worker "don't forget about the table in the window." Asked for the wine list and ordered a bottle which sat sweating in plain sight on the bar while we ate our salads. My chicken dish was cold when it got to me. I sent it back and got a do-over plate of the same order. The re-do was better, but my judgement was clouded by that point. My fellow diners felt their entrees were decent, but that the bread was really the best part of the meal. I left wondering how and why this place survives. The whole operation feels like it just wants to nod off to sleep. Maybe a Thursday night is slow? Maybe outside of the school year there's a lull at this place? Those are the benefit of the doubt questions I want to ask in their defense. But ultimately I feel like this place seems to keep going out of some sort of "but we're a restaurant" obligation. Won't return; don't recommend.

Cocktails are rotating and seasonal, but one of my all time favorites was the peach whiskey sour made with local peaches, and a coconut jasmine (gin?) drink that was the Dealer's Choice option. For a light app, I really enjoy the goat cheese and fennel. The ambiance is cozy and upscale, and the staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgable.

The lady working the dining room didn't speak English and when I asked if they had breakfast, she had to get someone to interpret - they told her to give me a menu and low and behold, they had lots of breakfast items! I opted for Baleadas and since I needed to get to a meeting, I took it to go. It took about 10 minutes for them to make it and I was out the door. When I opened it, it looked delicious! When I cut into it, got a big piece of avocado and tasted it, I was very happy! It tasted absolutely amazing! The thicker tortillas were incredibly tasty! The portion was insanely huge and something that could have been shared with one or two people. The food was fresh and very tasty and the red hot sauce that came with it added a very nice heat to the dish. I'll definitely return here - Really good food!!
