The only thing better than the food was the service! Chase was phenomenal. The special menu for restaurant week was tremendous. Will be back!

I highly recommend Flavor on Main for their creative, fresh and well-seasoned dishes. They offer a Pasta & Wine Wednesday 3 course fixed price menu with 1/2 off bottles of wine. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly.

Always excellent food and service. Nice variety to the menu. If you are in Culpeper you should give it a try

Our first time here. Great dinner. Beautifully presented. Creative menu. Some unique wines included on the wine list. Very attentive service - server made some good recommendations. Restaurant as generally filled but not too loud. We look forward to returning.

Made a reservation for this restaurant because of the positive reviews, however, my husband and I were not impressed. The waitress was unfriendly and not knowledgeable of the menu or specials. We asked about any specials and were told that drinks were $2 off before 7pm. So we ordered extra drinks and appetizers. We received the check and noticed they were not discounted, so we kindly asked her about this. She took the check back to run it again. She told us she mistaken told us the wrong specials and tried to manually take it off but didn't work. Mind you she did not ask the manager or anyone for help and did not even apologize. We left with a terrible taste in our mouth from the lack of friendly service and knowledgable staff. The food was good - husband enjoyed his ribeye steak and truffle fries. The gnocchi was delicious. If you don't mind unfriendly staff then the food is decent enough to visit.

Food is good. Service is better at the bar. Pints of beer are $9 now. Not sure what’s up with that. It’s not an attraction that could warrant that price.

First time visit to flavor on main. Joseph was our server. He was attentive during our visit. Advice for Joseph would be to loosen up a little and feel free to have some small talk and conversation unrelated to the dining. Other than that I thought he was good. This is a higher end Restaurant on the main strip of town which is going to come with some expectations of the quality and experience. We tried the fried green tomatoes which the breading did not adhere to the tomato and was slightly slimy on the inside. I then had the wedge salad and this was good with no surprises. My wife ordered the gnocchi which is the only vegetarian option we were aware of and I ordered the southern fried chicken which came with mashed potatoes, gravy and Brussel sprouts. My wife’s gnocchi had the taste of seafood which I’m sure was related to the truffles. She being a vegetarian was turned off by that and I understand why for her. That being said I also thought it was overwhelming seafood tasting and didn’t match what my expectations would be. The fried chicken also suffered from the breading not adhering to the chicken and once cut was watery and fell apart. The gravy I thought was overpowering and stole the flavor show from the chicken. Brussel sprouts were tasteful and crispy. We each ordered a desert. I had the cheese cake and my wife had the molten lava chocolate cake. The chocolate cake tasted similar to a frozen meal cake and was artificial tasting. The cheese cake came smothered in strawberry liquid which was over powering the cheesecake which should be the star of the show and the strawberry should be a minor side kick. Once receiving the bill we noticed even though my wife sent the gnocchi back we were still charged for it and the vegetables my wife ordered in lieu of the gnocchi. Overall the atmosphere is nice , service was good, the food left something to be desired for sure. Also we were never visited by a manager during our visit to check how the experience was. It’s the managers job not the server to ask those questions about the service and food and make corrections.
The appetizers are delicious. I want to return to try the dinner. Drinks were made fast. Ambiance is perfect for a date night.

Very romantic place. The food is definitely worth the wait and it gives off a French style vibe for me. The cocktails are amazing and the names of them are a bit quirky but love that. Very balanced. It is a bit on the pricier side but worth it. They do have outdoor seating on warmer days and the ambiance inside is quite amorous. I will be returning soon.Parking: The best parking lot is across the street. Otherwise you may try to find street parking

Wonderful food in a lovely atmosphere. I want thank our waitress Sam for the perfect service throughout. I had the crab cake appetizer followed by the short ribs. Hubby had the red pepper soup then the filet. Everything was so delicious. A few things need improvement for a five star review. The hostess was downright rude. Didn't say a word just picked up the menus, mumbled something. The cheese in the potatoes pave needed to be hotter and melted. The reservation it asked if it was a special occasion and I noted it was a birthday but it was never mentioned. I'm sorry we were too full for dessert because the selections sounded yummy. Looking forward to returning.

We were just walking around town and happened to stumble upon this place, and we're glad we did. We were seated quickly and received great service! The food was very good and the atmosphere was very nice. We'll definitely be coming back soon!
