This was always my top rated Charlottesville area destination meal; however I was very disappointed by my most recent experience. I have had the 4 course wine paired dinner 4 times now and this past weekend was beyond disappointing. The ambiance, wine, and service remain unchanged and unparalleled; however the newer chef is not nearly to the level of the last. The menu was on the more basic side this time, not to the level of the last 3-4 years. The steaks were served overcooked and borderline inedible. It was also incredibly salty. This dinner used to be at a much higher quality level. I would give it another try but I do miss the old chef from 2-3 years ago.

Thr staff is warm snd welcoming. The rooms with lit fires are cozy. Socializing before dinner in the drawing room was lovely way to meet sone fellow diners. Dinner was terrific although heavier than the last 2 times we dined there with 2 meat courses and no fish course. It was all delicious . No real complaints i just missed a lighter start. The arugula salad with fresh figs and goat cheese was a delight as was the main of filet mignon cooked just right- MR. Spice cake dessert over date puree with spiced cream also delish. Enjoyed the wine accompanying each course. We will return

This was my second experience here and it was not as good as the first. It is such an intimate setting and the chef only went to one table, not all 5. Also, we were asked if our steak was prepared correct (there was not an option to choose how it was cooked) and upon asking what the chef wanted they said medium rare. Two of the 5 steaks at our table were well done. When we said that, the wait staff said "Ok thank you." That was it. The chef did not correct or come out and apologize or anything. It was just not at the level for the price as it was a few months ago when I came.

A very special experience. Wine tasting and wine pairing dinner made for a delightful stay. A visit to Monticello which is close by, was an unexpected pleasure.

This is about the closest thing you can get to a French Laundry experience in Virginia. Everything was absolutely exquisite. Such a gorgeous venue with a creative cuisine and top notch service. We can’t wait to go back!

This was a lovely, favorite place for a celebratory dinner with friends. We had the dining room to ourselves which made it even more special. Love the interaction with the chef who answered all of our questions…and even made me think I could do what he had done. Thank you one and all.
