   We enjoyed the steak frites, chicken and waffles, and salad nicoise, but the cocktails stole the show! Our server possibly forgot about us one or twice and brought a wrong drink, but the staff was so friendly which coupled with the ambiance more than made up for it!

   Was not a fan of the mushroom appetizer 😕 it was basically mayonnaise and mushrooms. When I mentioned it to the server he offered me another app which I enjoyed (cheese plate) the service and the rest of my meal were great and I would recommend this place for a nice quiet date night

   We enjoyed a 3 course meal during Charlottesville Restaurant Week and it was our first time there. We were immediately impressed with the lovely ambience. The server was tops and the food delicious.

   Went during restaurant week, the experience was poor. Not especially busy for a Saturday night. The food was mediocre, our server rarely checked in, and it took them a while to provide refills on water. The restaurant was also out of several items, but no mention of this was made by our server ahead of time, even after taking our order.

   Salmon was undercooked. Steal (ordered medium) was burnt. Everything was very under seasoned. Staff was great until they disappeared for over 30 mins. Good drinks, nice ambience.

   I made a reservation thinking that this was a real Restaurant at the Omni hotel in Charlottesville. The menu was very limited as well as the seating. We had a very nice waitress, but she couldn’t make up for the super short menu and really very few interior tables. Cannot recommend

   Hi Patricia! I am sorry to hear that our menu and atmosphere was not up to your expectations. We try our best to provide and accommodate whenever we can in regard to seating as we know our tables can be on the small side for bigger groups! We do hope you will give us another try in the future, we plan to have a revamp of the menu with in the next few months, as our 1-year anniversary is coming up! I will pass on your praises to your server that evening, she is great! Please feel free to reach out with any additional concerns you may have and we hope we can improve your view of us in the future! Best, Marlie The Conservatory Manager

   Great food and service. We were there for Restaurant Week and I ordered the Steak Frites which was delicious. I also got two appetizers:the mushrooms and tuna tartare instead of a dessert. It was nice they let me do that as I am not much of a sweets person.

   Didn’t stay for meal. Had a LOUD DJ Latin Bachata dance party during dinner hour in the main restaurant bar area … ridiculous. Couldn’t hear yourself talk. Sat in 2 different spots but no escape. Finally tried outside but it wasn’t set up so we left. First night in Charlottesville after an 8 hour drive so not happy to have to trek around looking for somewhere to eat. Better ask OMNI hotel, where this is located, if they’re having theme music and dancing before booking this!

   Hi Wyndon! We do apologize for the less than desirable visit you had with us. We do open up our breakfast dining area on Sundays to accommodate any dinner guests that are not interested in our weekly Bachata Social, it tends to be much quieter in there! I do apologize if this wasn't made available to you. Please, feel free to messages via OpenTable if you have any additional concerns. I would love to chat and hopefully repair your negative view of The Conservatory upon your next visit to Charlottesville! All the best, Marlie Conservatory Manager
