“Big beer city brewery in a little city.

Awesome beers and variety of styles poured well. This place could easily be in Scott's Addition in Richmond with the quality. I'll have to try the different pour types next time.

Only had the fries but it was a large portion and crispy. 🔥“

“Had a birthday lunch here…..had a bowl with many items ALL of which were absolutely delicious! Will come back whenever back in Cville…wish they were near where I live!!!“

“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.“

“Can not recommend Vivi's enough. They provided cupcakes for our UVA BIMS Recruitment visits and the students, faculty, and candidates were thrilled to see the display and enjoy the sweet treats. Billy was a delight to work with and bent over backwards to make our multiple orders happen, even on a day that they were closed and with delivery. We will be continuing this relationship for years to come!“

“Cool spot across from campus. We needed to grab a very quick lunch before starting a history tour of UVA. Thought, bagels are fast....we made the right choice. We each made a bagel sandwich order. Ham, Turkey and a PBJ. Bagels were extremely fresh like someone's Grandma is boiling them in the back. We ate like the locals and will definitely recommend to everyone.“

“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!“

“The service was phenomenal, they were patient, helpful, and very engaging. The ice cream was even better. They had very unique ice cream flavors, ones you normally wouldn’t see. They didn’t just have ice cream they also had incredible shakes.“

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

“I don't know why it has taken me this long to review this amazing place. Absolutely the best thai food in town with the sweetest people running it. Ive going here for years and have never had a bad experience 10/10 would definitely recommend“

“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.“

“Awesome fresh food! We had a sandwich, bowl and juice and they were each delicious. I was a little nervous that the juice might be overpowering or like medicine but it wasn’t at all. It is a lil pricey, but they use high quality fresh organic ingredients.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“This is one of my favorite go to spots in Charlottesville! I always get tonkatsu chicken with spicy green beans, Mac salad, side of sashimi, and a spam musubi. For $20 this lasts me two meals and it is soooo good. I appreciate the fresh ingredients and the number of quality veggie options. Truly some of the best sashimi in town!“

“Best curry house 🏡 n Charlottesville!!“

“I came with a group of 15+ people and our service was AMAZING. Our reservation was for 8 pm and the food came out extremely fast and the servers were all amazing (especially Vincent!). The food was amazing as well. Will be coming back again.“

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

“Very friendly , attentive staff. I hate to do this , BUT, .....I purchased a chocolate milkshake, and a chocolate dipped waffle cone with 2 ice cream scoops...I picked chocolate, and mint chocolate chip. I payed like $9.00 for EACH item.....and , I really DID NOT like my ice cream or the shake. I was really disappointed... I have , and now will ALWAYS prefer Baskin Robbins ice cream.“

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

“Really good food“
