    The place is of course unique and the food is amazing. The meatballs are out of this world and the truffle soap was so good. Avery was very professional and made all the right suggestion which we followed and truly enjoyed. Highly recommended for sure

    We had a flawless dining experience at The Joshua Wilton House last night - The house is charming, warm and inviting and so was the staff, from the Hostess at the front door to our Waitress and the Manager as well - The Special Graduation Menu was well chosen and absolutely delicious - What a lovely evening! We really enjoyed it!

    We had an excellent date night. The Scallops and Salmon were perfectly prepared, the service was attentive and well timed, and it was a great evening dinner overall.

    Excellent service in a lovely environment. Outstanding cuisine. I had the salmon which was perfectly prepared and melted in my mouth. Definitely the best dining in Harrisonburg!

    We found the normally quiet semi-formal dining experience we'd often enjoyed as a table for two anything but as a holiday table for five in a small room with two other large, loud groups. Still a great place with wonderful food and service, but loud and crowded where we were seated on Thanksgiving.
    Joshua Wilton HouseResponded on 2 December 2024
    Hello David, thank you for supporting us over the years. We love that we have been able to give you a comfortable and private dining experience in the passed, and we are sorry that this Thanksgiving dinner did not meet the expectations. Believe it or not, it is one of the biggest days of the year for us, and every room had large parties. Tis the season! We look forward to hosting you again in the future and will make sure the next time you dine with us, we will have you at a very private and quite table. I have added it to your notes. -The Wilton Team

    Delicious food from appetizer to dessert for Thanksgiving seating. Servers' attention was impeccable. While this is a bit of a luxury, we will be back!
