Just enjoyed petit Pois restaurant for our anniversary. The food was really good - onion soup and mussels for appetizers and salmon and trout for main dishes. Service was good and atmosphere was very nice. We followed up dinner with a little feat concert. A wonderful night in Charlottesville,
We had a truly exceptional experience at this restaurant!! We had a reservation for a group and Haze did the most incredible job handling some food allergies in our party. She immediately combed through the menu and presented the best options and talked with the chef to ensure they would have a safe, delicious meal (which it was!). The food was stunning and delicious across the entire table — trout almondine, salmon, gnocchi, risotto. It was all excellent.
