My girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience here. The food was excellent, the drinks were very good, and our waiter was professional and knowledgeable. Additionally, it is not cheap, but the prices are certainly fair. Would recommend!

It’s taken days to get over how truly revolting the food was at the Pink Grouse. I met up with friends from afar in Charlottesville (stayed at Quirk) so our dinner of the evening should’ve been exceptional. With the very limited menu, pricing, & beautiful ambiance, I had high hopes. Every meal was not just subpar, they were gross. I got the fish dish with potatoes & asparagus. It tasted like a very average lean cuisine. The vegetables were barely cooked & there was no sauce or flavor. My fish was thin & dry. Our server rarely checked in but when he finally did, I asked for salt & pepper which made little impact. My friends got the oyster mushroom dish (gag) & the linguini (the best of the 3 but was swimming in water from the mussels). The server never removed our dish ware & the crumbs from our appetizer, which seems odd in a place where dishes are around $40/plate. I wish I could reverse time & go to one of the dozens of wonderful restaurants Charlottesville has to offer instead of the Pink Grouse.

We went for a birthday dinner. The restaurant was not crowded at all, confusingly. Our waiter was on top of everything, helpful. Food was great value, good sized portions. Perfectly cooked duck, huge cheese board, and salad and dessert really good. It’s too bad more people don’t know about the place yet. Would certainly return. Once they straighten out the wine situation…

I went to The Pink Grouse with my supervisor for Restaurant week in Charlottesville. The first thing that caught my eye was the space. It's beautifully decorated with a modern, funky feel. The server was very attentive, always smiling and allowed us to sit for awhile having a cocktail before ordering. We had 3 courses, and each one was just as good as the previous course. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The cocktails were expertly crafted, we never felt rushed, and it was an overall excellent experience. I highly recommend this place. Restaurant week or not, I will absolutely return!

Best from a chef! A foodie's delight! Every plate from Q Salad to Branzino and Short Ribs and desserts were impeccably prepared and presented. Thank you Chef Chuck Adcock. Table service was proper, welcoming and attentive, everyone pitched in. (DIners can disregard the ambiance, but do go for the fantastic food and service.) Food and Beverage Manager Stephen Kelly, thank you for evolving Pink Grouse. This was a great experience.

The food was just okay, but not nearly worth the price. The restaurant was completely empty, which made the ambiance less than appealing. When we made our reservation, it asked if we were coming for any special occasion. My husband put in that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and it was not mentioned once by any of the staff. We spent $75 on just our main course alone and left hungry and disappointed.

A little disappointed that the menu online was not the menu provided. Limited main course options.

Just a terrible experience shared by othered we have spoken to. Menu posters here on web site was not even close to the menu we were presented. If you have specifics good needs as I do you should not go here unless you see the menu in advance e. We were having a cocktail at rooftop bar( very nice by the way) and should have eaten light fare menu there. Serve sadly was inept, the young waiter was clearly out of his comfort zone. The barumendi was good as were the desserts. The rest was a fiasco. Ordered gazpacho “to share as a starter” my exact words. Had to order smoked trout app as my main as there was bothering else in the very limited menu I could eat. He brought the fish dinner and trout and we asked about the gazpacho. Said he was going to bring it now. We declined it. Supposed to be crust nopales with trout but the “ran out”. I asked for bread or crackers. Finally came out with some nice grilled bread for which we were charged $4, wonder how much the crispy nopales would cost as they were not deducted from the price. Only two desserts on menu. We had both as we were starving. Both were very good. Our bill before tip was $180 But we had three rounds as it all took so Long.

Very nice but expensive Sunday brunch. Limited but satisfying menu. The trout salad was delicious. The salt cod and lobster “cake” eggs Benedict was very good.

The food is very tasty, but the service is poor. The server brought me my check without me asking for it, without asking me if I wanted dessert, and despite it being early, and me being there for less than one hour in a 3/4 empty restaurant, and after having ordered the most expensive items on the menu. There was absolutely no reason for him to bring me the check at that time. This is poor service, which is a pity because the food is good. I will not return.

Good experience, waitress was helpful but was working solo so she shouldve had more help

Good menu, pretty decor, and friendly service. Our server even stepped outside to help us figure out where to park!

There was a large group of drunken college kids who gradually took over the courtyard through the dinner and the service was incredibly slow/inattentive (I overheard that maybe someone had called out unexpectedly leaving them understaffed so this may not be the case always). The food was mediocre, especially given the price.
