Food was fabulous! Had the skillet cornbread, gumbo, halibut and pumpkin ravioli special, and the iron steak and fries, along with an Old Fashioned and a Pineapple/Lime Martini; finished with the carrot cake. Every single item was wonderful, and we would have liked to extend our stay in Charlottesville just to try more of the menu items!!

The food was pretty good and the restaurant looked clean overall, but we felt like we were on our own when it came to delivery for our food and for our check.
