    Grilled Double H Farm Pork Ribeye
    Naomi G.

    Wonderful restaurant with solid food and stellar service. I took my partner here for his birthday and I'm so glad I did! First off, we received a complimentary toast with champagne . Then, we received a personalized menu with my partner's name with cute balloon logo. So many good options on the menu!! We ordered three appetizers and the waiter offered to split the portions for us which we greatly appreciated. My partner ordered the steak (medium rare) and it was soooo tender. I got the pork dish which had delicious sides too. Even though we were extremely full, they gave us complimentary dessert with my partner's name written on cursive. Honestly the service was top tier. The ambiance was cozy and romantic with old Charlottesville vibes. I definitely would come again for a special event!!!

    SERVICE We strolled in after making a reservation an hour before close...(and by the end it was clear that we were being unconsciously pushed out? We weren't even offered dessert menus and had to ask for it????) Our orders were put in quick and came out quick. FOOD Everything was excellent despite the air of some attitude and perhaps tiredness from the late shift. Otherwise, we loved the food and the overall experience! AMBIANCE Cute gem of a spot. Cozy and seems so homey! Loved the feel of it.

    For my friend's bachelorette the one place she was super excited to try in Charlottesville was the Ivy inn. We came here on our first night in town and it was truly fabulous. The spot was cozy and had just a great atmosphere. The food and the service was all great. If I'm ever back in town, I would absolutely come here and would definitely recommend it.

    We're so glad we decided to come here for our anniversary dinner. The ambiance and service was spectacular. They really took great care of us. The food was delicious. We tried several items on the menu. The wine was great, it's been a while since we visited so I can't recall the exact name but it was a cab sauvignon. We tried a pasta (app size) and it was delicious - certainly would have gotten this as a whole meal. For my entree, I got the beef tenderloin and it was great. Only small complaint id have is that it was a bit on the salty side. everything was so filling and we ended the night with the creme brûlée. They even wrote "happy anniversary" on the plate for us. Great evening and would certainly return here again!!

    Dining at the ivy inn was the perfect spot for a special night. My boyfriend and I celebrated an anniversary and were super pleased with the food and dining experience. Our waiter was able to make some great recommendations for us which we really appreciated. Both entrees were so delicious.

    What a wonderful meal and evening! Visiting our cousins and they brought us here! Teresa was our server and she was incredible! Fun, professional, always knowing our needs!! Make sure to get the ham biscuits! Fabulous meals were the strip, tenderloin, gnocchi and stuffed chicken! Deserts included ice cream and the blueberry peach crisp! Heaven!! Don't miss this wonderful place and ask for Teresa!!!

    One of the best spots in Cville for sure. I especially like the outdoor seating area that's heated in case it's chilly. Service is usually fantastic as well. Just took my Dad for his bday and had a great experience. They gave us free champagne and a desert with his name spelled out in chocolate syrup. Nice touch!

    Totally Baked - Chocolate Cherry

    Totally Baked

    Have you ever seen something online and thought... I gotta have that! That happened to me last…read moreweek. While relaxing and checking out The Gram, I came across an amazing looking cupcake. I'm an Oreo / Cookies and Cream addict. I've never met an Oreo I didn't like... Thin...Regular...Stuffed...Double Stuffed -- You name it, I've eaten it. Now...Imagine my suprise when I found out I could get them at the Farmer's Market 5 minutes from my house!! What?!?!? Of course, you know where I was on Saturday... At the Farmer's Market, checking out Totally Baked. Now let's talk cupcakes. We got half a dozen (yes, I shared). I'll review them as they are listed. Side note: The pictures DO NOT do them justice. If you want to see great pictures, check out her IG page @totallybakedcville -- 1) Cookies and Cream: Ya'll this cupcake had a legit Oreo baked into the cake! Chocolate cake with a light creamy icing. The icing had cookie cumbles and a minature Oreo on top. First bite was great! The mix of cream and cake was amazing. I got a hint of the Oreo in the middle, which made the second bite even better. The cake did a good job of holding up around the cookie. I was worried the cookie might become loose. Great start to the tasting. 2) Chocolate Cherry: I do enjoyed filled cupcakes. This chocolate cake had cherry on the inside of the cake. It was topped with a very light cherry flavored icing. The cherry inside helped keep the cake moist. Solid. 3) Lemon Blueberry: Ok, so this was my least favorite. It was good, don't get me wrong, just not my cup of tea. This was the "suck up" cupcake. I got it to "suck up" to my mother in law. She loves Lemon Blueberry. Again this white cake had blueberry in the middle, topped with a light icing and blueberries on top. Very good, but just not for me. 4) Pistachio: Ummmm.... I'll be honest, I rolled my eyes at first when my better half chose this one. BUT... It was my next favorite after Cookies and Cream. The cake was amazingly flavored. It has just enough of the pistachio flavor to keep me intriged, but sweet enough to keep me around. Paired with the pistachio icing and crumbles, this one is a hit! 5) Sweet and Salty: Solid white cupcake with what tasted like a maple glaze over the cupcake. Pretzel pieces were then placed on top of the icing and glaze. I love the texture the pretzel pieces give the cake. Exactly as it is described... Both salty and sweet! 6) Another Cookies and Cream... What?? You think I wouldn't get two?!? I wasn't sharing that one. Overall, I'm proud that my IG digging found them. I love they are close. They do caterings for any type of event. They even offer free delivery?!?! I mean, if they can't make it any easier. They are officially... on my list!

    Got the cutest mini cupcakes from Totally Baked, ordering and paying was efficient, she has great…read moreoptions and they are beautifully decorated. I especially liked the Oreo and salted caramel. Loved supporting this small local business!
