Tavern & Grocery offers modern interpretations of classically inspired dishes served in a modern update of a restored early 1800's boarding house. The building was a grocery from its inception in 1820 all the way until 1973, and was also a tavern, boarding house, and restaurant along the way. Ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible, with much of our produce grown on our own farm during the spring, summer, and fall. We even have our own flock of laying hens and use as many of our own eggs as possible! Saturday and Sunday brunch is a must with both classic brunch dishes as well as creative re-interpretations, and, of course, the perfect bloody mary. Our bar focuses on creative craft and classic cocktails, as well as wine, serving the best examples of many varieties with a large selection of wines offered by the glass. We have a very nice selection of beer, both on tap and in bottle, that even the most discerning will love.

                                              With the exception of the service, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our server never checked back to see if we needed anything more to drink, delivered our food to another table before getting it to us and delivered another table's food to us. We waited forever for our desert and had to ask for our check after another long wait. The host did his best to resolve our issues and I'm prepared to write the service off to an inexperienced or poorly prepared server as other servers seemed to be just fine.

                                              The food was lack of flavor. When leaving at the entrance, there was an unpleasant smell as septic tank.

                                              We were excited to go to Tavern and Grocery for date night and went thinking it was restaurant week which was definitely our fault, but when we ask for the restaurant week menu our waitress said that we can use the menu online which reinforced our belief that it was restaurant week. Food was okay but the service overall took over 3 hours and around 30 minutes to get the check despite asking two different people. Other tables were getting up and leaving throughout the meal. When we got the check and saw the items all separated, we ask about it still thinking it was restaurant week, and they took the check into the back. When the person came back out (not our waitress) 5 minutes later and she was very patronizing and condescending toward us about thinking it was restaurant week. I hate being that person who complains about it all but overall it was just not a good restaurant experience, unfortunately, and I don’t think we’ll go back.

                                              Great atmosphere and food. Service was excellent. Live music at brunch was also excellent but a tad loud for conversation. Always look forward to experiencing T&G when I’m visiting Charlottesville and it never disappoints.

                                              They were short staffed, so our entrees took over an hour to arrive. Drinks are delicious. Staff were clearly overwhelmed. I was here in August and had a great experience, so hopefully it was just an off day.

                                              The service unfortunately was not good at all. We waited to long for our drinks and food. Server never came and check on us. We never felt welcome. Food was good. It was a special dinner with my girlfriends. Don’t know if we would come back.

                                              Wonderful hostess, cozy and thoughtful ambiance, delicious food, lukewarm service that left us unsure if we’ll return.
