New American Restaurants near Afton, VA

“We rented the full farmhouse and cottage for my daughter’s wedding, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, every detail added to the joy of the weekend. I especially loved watching the lambs and sheep play in the barnyard each morning—it was such a charming touch. They graciously accommodated a bridesmaids’ brunch and were flexible with wine hours and breakfast timing, which made everything feel relaxed and personalized. We truly couldn’t be happier with our choice.“

“This past Wednesday, I brought my assistant to Waynesboro to help me with shopping, and that we would see if Stella, Bella & Lucy’s had availability for Lunch, which they did.\n\nInside, a number of empty seats, I asked if they had availability for two for lunch, which they did. The Restaurant is well lit inside, easy to walk to seating, with plenty of room between tables & chairs. Absolutely Lovely Decor inside, brought back many lovely memories growing up.\n\nOur Waitstaff person, Mandy took our beverage order right away, I was hoping for cup of hot Black tea, possibly P & G? I settled on their unsweetened Ice Tea with lemon slices, I had my Stevia with me.\n\nMandy informed us of the specials, we both decided on the Cup of Creamy Tomato Basil Soup and Quiche Lorraine. Incredibly quick service, I did note the Restaurant quickly filling up with Patrons.\n\nThe food… The Soup was lovely, I would have been content with a bowl of the Creamy Tomato Basil and a bit of fruit, the Quiche onions were a bit of an issue for me, I enjoyed it though.\n\nI observed the Desserts being served, they were gorgeous, My Guest ordered the Bread Pudding, I ordered the Chocolate Ganache Cupcake, a teeny taste let me know how incredibly Rich this was, and I packaged it up for my assistant to take home.\n\nI asked for the Manager, and in a moment C.C. arrived at our table, I introduced myself, and let her know how delighted I was to visit Stella, Bella & Lucy’s for lunch, ( I usually visit Waynesboro heading to SNP).\n\nIf You want a great dining experience, with a Lovely Ambiance, I suggest you make a reservation and head to Stella, Bella and Lucy’s.\n\nKesh_grammy“

“DO NOT miss the Smoked Kitchen. During a recent "leaf peeping" drive from Richmond, we visited Crozet in time for lunch. First, the location is easy to find and easy to park. Second, they welcome dogs. (A real plus.) But MOST IMPORTANTLY the the food is top notch and the service can't be beat. The pulled pork is the best we've EVER eaten. (I don't use CAPS very often.) Speaking as Virginia/North Carolina customers, that's quite a statement. It's dry, lean and melt in your mouth. Plenty of sauces to choose from if you wish. Absolutely terrific. We bought A POUND to take home. No kidding. The smoked chicken salad sandwich was excellent. And the beer - well, what a nice addition to a great meal.“

“We are in town for the week and this was our first place after a long drive. It was amazing! We ended up getting 3 appetizers and 3 entrees. They were all out of this world! Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality Jessie! Cheers!“

“We used Restoration as our venue for a family wedding. It was fantastic! An outside covered patio with stunning mountain views for cocktails and appetizers. Then an event room with windows on three sides with views for our 50 person dinner, ceremony and reception. The food was excellent and plenty of it. Krista and Haley were a joy to work with on all the little details that made the evening such a wonderful success. It was easy to have vendors come in to set up the cake and flowers too. Krista is very accommodating and genuinely wants to help create special memories of a special day. 🤗“

“We had reservations for Mother's Day. The restaurant staff was excellent and the food was very good. The roast beef was somewhat on the rare end of the scale so not for those of us who like medium to well done. Fruit, vegetables, chicken, pasta, gravy, and desserts were all A+. Would definitely go again.“
