    corn Lacto Milk Stout, Left Hand, Colorado, 6%
    Libby H.

    I came here with a family member and we got lucky with timing during UVA graduation weekend in getting a table without a reservation. We sat outside. Our waiter Jason was awesome! We did the corn ribs for an appetizer and then I did the Wagyu sliders which were so delicious and it comes with crispy fries. Really nice vibes.

    fresh chicharrones w/ a lot of guacamole

    Full disclosure: I teach at Darden, where the Good Sport is located. I'm here a lot by happenstance, but I'd still say it's an excellent spot. At least in terms of square footage, it's equal parts indoor and outdoor. If the weather inspires you to hang outside, this is a good choice. But the thing that really inspired me to write this is the chicharrones: they serve incredible fresh (still crackling) chicharrones with a tremendous complement of guacamole- I highly recommend giving them a try. Fun fact: I just ran into our dean and he told me the chicharrones are on the menu since they were a favorite of Frank Sands, Sr. who helped build the hotel.

    I dined here for a business lunch. Friendly, prompt service. Excellent shrimp Caesar salad. My colleagues enjoyed their food as well.

    Good not great, but it could be. That was my impression after dining at The Jervey this evening…read more The space is inviting, though it can be a bit noisy, and there seemed to be an issue with the overhead lights dimming periodically in the dining room. Our water was brought out quickly and our drink order was taken at the same time. The young man was quick and friendly, but he wasn't our server. It was a bit busy, but our server arrived soon enough, and we ordered the tuna tartare and the rolls. Both were tasty, and we both enjoyed the spicy tuna. After we had finished our appetizers, our order was eventually taken, and not long after, our food arrived. We both enjoyed our entrees. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the scallops were as well. The sides were fine, with lobster Mac and cheese being the standout. Overall, I think what we found lacking was atmosphere and personality. While everyone we interacted with was pleasant enough, it didn't feel like the fine dining experience advertised on the website. There was no asking if we had any questions about the menu, no highlighting of dishes, or specials of any sort. It just felt like they were serving top notch food in an average chain restaurant playing dress-up atmosphere. The elements are there for The Jervey to be amazing, but right now they just aren't there yet, in my opinion. I will definitely go back and enjoy the food again, that's for sure.

    we wanted to try a new place in cville and we saw this as an option…read more i have a couple of gripes with this place: 1. we didn't have a reservation because open table or resy didn't have an option at 4pm but we thought if we went when they opened they would have some tables set aside from walkins. we were sat in this weird long table facing the bar sitting next to each other and the entire time we were there, not a single table was occupied even though they were saved for reservations. I would understand if this place was super busy and these tables were actually reserved but not a single table was occupied in the hour we were there. they sat families and babies at the bar even though there were open tables 2. the food was pretty good! however for a burger, to charge $20+ and for it to not come with fries is a little annoying. they served it on a plate that was huge and would look like it would be a great place for a portion/side of fries 3. for the vibe of this place, the desserts were too basic and expensive, they were serving milk and cookies and an ice cream sundae the service was great we liked our server a lot though and it's a pretty space

    High end creative food with a not pretentious vibe. The miso maple salmon and the grilled pork chop…read morewith hominy and crimini shrooms are my fav mains. 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.
