    There is no restaurant venue in the central Shenandoah Valley area that is any better than the Joshua Wilton House when it comes to the complete package. Excellent food, fine wine list, beautiful venue, and excellent service. And, yes, we do have a number of fine restaurants in the area. None checks all the boxes any better than the JWH. For a small intimate dinner or a celebration for a crowd. Joshua Wilton House is an outstanding choice. It is our go-to for any special gathering.

    The food was delicious, we had the tuna and short ribs for our dinners with the sea salt olive oil baguette! The cocktails were underwhelming, we ordered gin martinis which served in coupe glass rather than a martini glass and it didn’t feel like a full martini. Service was fine.

    We went to Clementine for the first time on 2/13 and will definitely return! Despite being jazz night, which we didn't know, and the night before Valentine's day, our party of 5 was seated immediately. The place was jam-packed, but our server, Ryan, took the time to ensure that our party had pertinent info for our CELIAC family member to dine safely. We had the spinach artichoke dip and salmon starters -- both were excellent and available with gf bread. Despite it being such a busy night, Ryan was attentive without hovering, drinks replenished as needed. The entrees were all fantastic: scallops melt in the mouth tender, salmon bowl (L) cleaned, BEST shrimp and grits ever, chicken burrito was too big to eat, and 8yo granddaughter ate her entire burger without stopping for her fries! Everything was served hot, delicious, and no one added salt or pepper to their food! Granddaughter wanted dessert to go; when Ryan went to get it, she leaned conspiratorially across the table at me to ask if we could leave an extra tip "Because he's so NICE!" LOL! We'll definitely be back!
