Restaurants near Kiwanis Lake Park

Everything was delicious! First time here and we were very happy to find The Local. Everything was very fresh and we will definitely think of returning when back in Charlottesville!

One of the best restaurants in town! The food it amazing the staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful (awesome!), and the restaurant is clean and cozy! We love it!

This was a 4 course wine paired dinner, with a variety of flavors and exquisite pairing with the wines. The service was impeccable, as was the atmosphere. (except for one loud person who could be heard throughout the meal). The setting was a closed in porch that was made cozy warm on a cold evening. Turkey confit with pecan-prune was phenomenal! Especially with the Cabernet Franc. The second course, groundnut sweet potato soup also extremely pleasing to the palate with the pickled peppers in it. The beef tenderloin, which I guess was to be served rare, was just about raw inside, so I had to send it back. It was fine after that and I found the apple coder bordelaise to be a bit salty. The chef came to greet us and I gave him my critique of the meal. Overall, a wonderful foodie experience. Good wine, good food, good atmosphere and relaxation. A definite point of return.

Lovely dining experience. Great food, good service and a very pleasant space. Just what Staunton needed!

Fried shrimp was doughy inside, but our servers Kennedy G. was excellent. She was very polite, promp and overall one of the best we've had in a long time! Thank you Kennedy G.
