The staff was very attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The ambiance was perfect, creating a delightful atmosphere for a very memorable meal. I can't wait to return and savor their fantastic cuisine once again. This restaurant is a must in Charlottesville. Highly recommended!“

“Highly recommend this restaurant! The house salad was the best salad I’d ever had. The cocktails are wonderful; the tender even accommodated my special request. The entrees were sumptuous; we got the Italian sausage pasta and the salmon. We travel through Charlottesville twice a year and dine here on our way up and back each year. It’s my favorite part of our trip. Service is excellent.“

“This is the second time we’ve stopped into Selvedge from out of town to meet with some local friends. Love the ambiance and the beverage selections. It has a relaxed atmosphere, and the noise level is tame so I can actually hear our conversation! Destiny was our server, and she was great—attentive and courteous. The food is 3-4 stars (the nacho fries could be better if there was more of the toppings on the fries). We’ll return to Selvedge because we enjoy hanging out here and enjoy the drinks.“

“Absolutely loved the food—truly authentic Afghan cuisine. As an Afghan, tasting these flavors and feeling that sense of home brought a whole different level of satisfaction. Highly recommended for anyone seeking genuine Afghan dishes and a warm, nostalgic experience.“

“I I love Bodo’s in general, but what have they done to their whitefish and salmon salad? Five out of five for Bodo’s in general, one out of five for the changes made to the whitefish and salmon salad.“

“Great food, fair pricing & excellent service. It was my first visit, but I’ll be back.“

“We had an amazing dinner with friends. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“literally the best cupcake you will EVER eat!“

I had the spinach and the salad was excellent. We will try the buffet when we go again ! This was our first time with you !Thanks !!“

“Conmole is a standout in Charlottesville. Incredible flavors, beautifully executed dishes, and top-quality ingredients across the board. Every plate feels thoughtful and elevated without being pretentious. Fantastic service and a great atmosphere to match. A must-visit for serious food lovers—can’t wait to come back.“

“Had a delicious breakfast burrito with chorizo this morning! Bravo y'all!“

“I've had a bagel in NYC and the bagel I had at Bodo's was better. I bit into the everything bagel, and found the combination of flavors and textures to be absolutely delectable. If you go to Charlottesville and don't go to Bodo's, you're missing out big time!!!!“

“Gearhart offers a selection gourmet chocolates that are vegan friendly. A rarity but what a delicious treat!“

“A wonderful place to get a sweet treat. Plenty of dairy and gluten free options, and the owner, PK, is always very careful when I mention my food allergies. There are classic gelato flavors to choose from that sit alongside unique and really creative flavors for those who like to try new things! We also ordered custom gluten free & dairy free cupcakes for our baby shower that were absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Splendora's is a family favorite of ours. Definitely a small business to support!“

“Always a good sign when you get to a place and there are lots of people there picking up food and eating in. Went with a few coworkers and we all enjoyed our meals. Price was right for the serving sizes and the flavors were great!“

“Our favorite brunch location in Cville. The fried green tomatoes are amazing. Excellent service and selection.“

“Bartended at a wedding Blue Ridge Pizza catered and they were amazing. Not just the food being fantastic, but the staff were so friendly, helpful, and professional. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place is really solid! We didn’t love everything we got, but we know what to get when we come back. The portion sizes were great for the price. Staff didn’t interact with us at all and we heard a couple swear words from them, but no problems with them otherwise. Very limited seating as well. I love Hawaiian food though and was happy with what I got so I’ll be coming back.“

“Thank you so much for our lunch today at the covid vaccine clinic at Kmart. I had not had this meal before but what a surprise. Jerk chicken was wonderful. Thank you for your generosity and for such a wonderful lunch! Your community spirit is refreshing.“

“This was our first time here man was it good. Nice clean location and the service was great. So nice to walk into an actual pizza restaurant and get hit with the smells of pizza. Most of the places around here, just have pizza as an item on the menu, but not as the centerpiece. I ordered the side Caesar salad was delicious and the spinach and artichoke dip we ordered, was as well, but come on...8 little pieces of bread is not enough for all that dip. We ordered the house pizza to share and it was delicious. This is our new favorite Charlottesville pizza. Paper straws are trash…trash I say, and I will bring my own plastic straws next time.“

“What an incredible little restaurant. I still can’t believe we happened across it! My boyfriend and I live in DC and eat out quite frequently, and Tavola topped some Michelin star restaurants we’ve tried. We were blown away by the kindness and knowledge of the sommelier and staff, the generosity and talent of the kitchen, and the overall atmosphere and ambiance. Every dish was on point, every service mark was hit, and I could write paragraphs about the wine recommendations. I would rate it more than five stars if I could. Huge thank you to Clay, Caleb, Kendall and everyone else we met for making our night so memorable. If you’re thinking about opening another location I vote DC!“

“Its my new comfort place, literally my dream hangout spot!“

“Olivia provided fantastic service, helping me choose what I would like because I am a picky eater. She recommended something else if I wanted something different next time. I had the Feel Good smoothie and will be trying the Island One next!!!!“

“Really good food“

“Love the food but the delivery options are an epic fail. Placed an order today before 3pm to be delivered at 6:45pm. Checked at 7pm and learned it wouldn’t be delivered until after 8pm. Not worth that!“

“always a great dining experience. great food. stellar staff“

“Great service, excellent flavors and choices!! Pizza was so flavorful and amazing!!“

“I stopped in for a sweet treat to cool down and I am glad I did.
Amazing choice of flavors...
Amazing service.
Prices are reasonable.
Atmosphere gives off a retro dinner feeling.
The ice cream is fresh and delicious!
I had the Black Raspberry, and it was like heaven!

I will def be back!“

“The food is really good, especially the salsas. Unfortunately there is a severe disconnect in what I ordered and what I got. Again, it was really good, but ordering takeout meant it wasn't practical to go back and show them they had majorly swapped out my order, so I got tacos I didn't order, and lamentably didn't get to try the tacos I did order and was looking forward to so much! And they ain't exactly cheap! Wish I could recommend, but sorry. Careless service trumps decent flavor.“

“Great place! I do the open mic comedy nights and it’s great 😇“

“The team was SO kind, friendly, and terrific when I visited! I was able to sample a couple flavors. When I was looking at their lactose-free menu, they let me try and order their brand new strawberry flavor (not even on the menu yet) - absolutely DELICIOUS. They will also be down at the Pav (on-Grounds) so I'm very excited to go to both locations.“

“We had an excellent dinner this evening at the Sedona Taphouse. I was there celebrating a birthday with my family. The server was very helpful and help us with our various food and drink selections.

The food was excellent, I had a New York Strip that was cooked perfectly. There were several other meals chosen from Salmon to Filet mignon from the menu and they were all excellent.

I highly recommend this the restaurant for all occasions.“

“Perfectly executed modern Japanese cuisine. Their wine list and sake options are exceptional. Do ask for recommendations on the Sake flights, they have some real gems. The fish and cooked dishes are impeccably prepared.“

“Fantastic local Thai cuisine. From the outside you wouldn’t know what a nice and well appointed place this is. Quality service and attentive staff in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Food is top notch most importantly. Used to be able to squeeze my 30 min corporate lunch in so they are efficient as well.“

“Staff were very attentive and helpful with our food and beverage selection. When it got crowded, it got a little loud but you could still hold a conversation. T-shirts and goodies were cheap!!!! Parking was good. I'll go back when I visit!!“

“Incredible experience! Some of the best food I’ve ever had!“

“Rotating craft beer selections daily.“

“I ordered Dino's jumbo wings for lunch from their food truck at Patch Brewing and it was fantastic!! I was surprised to see my order was all flats, which is a huge bonus. The ranch dry rub was flavorful but not overpowering, it paired great with their ranch dressing. The Thai sweet sauce was delicious as well. Would definitely recommend the wings.“

“Delicious, cute atmosphere, and affordable. It’s our new favorite Thai restaurant!“

“Loved the serve, atmosphere, food and the price. Great Experience“
