Restaurants near Keswick

“Our wedding day at Keswick Vineyards was perfect from start to finish - not an exaggeration. Everyone on staff made the entire day seamless, so we were able to truly just arrive and enjoy the day. When weather caused a hiccup in our day, our cocktail hour was moved under the tent no problem, drinks were brought to the wedding party while we waited out the storm, and we were able to keep to our schedule due to Cindy and team's fantastic planning. The venue itself was beautiful - the pool, house, and vineyard made the perfect photo backdrop, the carriage house where we got ready was the perfect secluded spot for our wedding parties, and I just truly didn't have to think of a single thing. The inclusions to the venue rental (tent, chairs, tables, etc.) made planning that much easier, along with vendor recommendations, and Cindy and team are true professionals who know what they're doing and will ensure your day is just about you and your love story. We were also lucky to have Cindy as our month of coordinator, which if you're lucky enough to snag one of her limited spots, DO IT! Going into our wedding, I truly felt so stress-free and like everything was out of my hands and handled. I truly cannot recommend getting married here enough, and it makes me so happy that we'll be able to share a bottle of Keswick wine together each anniversary. Just truly can't fit how wonderful this whole team and venue is in a single review. I am so grateful our wedding day was so special and perfect thanks to this place. This is a dream venue.”

“Guacamole was amazing! Everything is so fresh.”

“I recently attended a wedding at Castle Hill Cider in Keswick, and it was absolutely spectacular—even when nature had other plans! A fierce Virginia thunderstorm rolled in, complete with lightning and heavy rain, but thanks to the venue’s excellent planning and back-up indoor spaces, everyone stayed completely dry and comfortable. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines scenic charm, excellent event infrastructure, and a team ready to handle anything—even Mother Nature—Castle Hill Cider is an absolute winner!”

“The new manager/chef at Marigold's has knocked it out of the park! The meal was impeccably prepared, and every dish our group tried was exquisite, without exception. Service was attentive and gracious, reflecting the kind of training seen at only the very best of restaurants. I think Marigold has just jumped far ahead of any of the other local "best" restaurants. Along with the beautiful setting, this is the place to come for an amazing dining experience with unparalleled flavors and delights. I will be bringing many others back, and recommend it highly to anyone who wants to experience the best that today's chefs can offer.”

“Delicious food, professional staff with personal attention. Quaint, romantic atmosphere.”

“Jacob, Fairie, and I went to Smyrna tonight and it was exceptional. Our server, David was welcoming, attentive, and down to earth. He knows a good bit about Cville music history which was a plus for us! Orhun is also a music lover and is the reason we had to check out this amazing spot. His and the team’s hospitality is top of the line. Everything we had was great and full of flavor that would include the Meze Trio, the Charred Octopus , the Market Greens and even the carrots were outstanding. Don’t sleep on this gem, Cville.”

“Chef Yoder is incredibly talented. Unexpected food combinations that blew us away. Amazing wait staff and don’t skip the beverage pairing! Highly educated sommeliers on staff! It was just dinner, it was an experience that I haven’t stopped talking about weeks later!”

“Surprising treat fried chicken amazing.”

“This place is a must visit if you enjoy Korean food or if you are new to it and would like to try it for the first time. Excellent service provided by an amazing staff. The food is absolutely delicious! The kimchi is the best I’ve had and the menu is varied to please everyone’s taste. I definitely recommend Bulpan for an excellent meal and experience.”

“Thank you. Absolute perfection.”

“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.”

“Charcuterie Board! Very tasty with 3 cheeses and 2 meats. Great price. Service was excellent. Yummy baguette, very good crust. Thank you!”

“My wife and I had an amazing dining experience at Maya! The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was impeccable. 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!”

“Enjoyed a delicious and delightful lunch here today. The staff were helpful and courteous. The food was fresh and tasty. Can't wait to visit again. I frequent Qdoba locations nationwide, and this one is the best.”

“We have lived in Charlottesville for 7 years. While we have only eaten at Petit Pois 4 times, it was the first restaurant we at at when we came up to initially look for places to live and it was the most recent place we have dine out, last night for NYE. It is small and cramped. They can't do anything about that. The service has always been top notch, warm, hospitable, engaging and friendly without being over the top. While nothing we have ever eaten there has been memorable; that isn't a slight. Everything has always been good and of the value that we have paid. A place like this with its' price point need to make good food that is better than what I can do at home and better than a chain or corporate "faux" bistro. Along with the good food and the exceptional service they always hit the mark. Last night was the 2nd time we have come in for a New Years Eve meal. We live within walking distance to the downtown mall and we aren't party animals so we typically don't make NYE reservations and just walk down to the strip and see if we can saddle up at a bar somewhere. Last week my fiancee mentioned that this year she would like to make reservations and go out. I searched everywhere in Charlottesville and the surrounding area and all reservations were booked up. Bummer. So, we decided to do our regular routine, put on decent clothes and walk and see if we could slide in somewhere----our first choice as Petit Pois. We go there and talked to the host to see if there was anything possible available, knowing the probability was low and we were OK with that. The host checked, talked to his folks, came out and showed us to a table. Yes, it was small and it was cramped but THEY MADE IT HAPPEN FOR US. Everything was what we expected. The food was good, the service as great, and the price was reasonable, and we had a nice meal and got home in time to watch the ball drop. Thanks Petit Pois. We will see you next New Years.”

“Over the course of the last month or so we have been there three times. We highly recommend this restaurant and have yet to have a bad experience. Contrary to the negative reviews on here I cannot say that we have experience anything stated. All of our food has come out with great presentation and very tasty. The wait staff has always been very attentive however, I will say they are challenged at times due to the amount of staff that they have versus the amount of tables that they serve. Taking that into consideration, our food has always come out in a reasonable amount of time, has always been to temp and we have had no complaints about the food or service at any point. I will stay that people have to be mindful. This is not fast food. The food at this restaurant is made to order and they offer specials every week so if you’re looking for something more immediate, this is definitely not the restaurant for you however, if you’re looking for a well crafted meal then this definitely is a place for you. I would recommend going on their date night for a great deal.”

“The food was excellent, very flavorful .”

“The food was excellent
Service punches above its weight! Service is better than most high end sit-down restaurants.
Obviously great leadership and team
A great dining event and I look forward to visiting CVille again just for Conmole”

“Very cool place with an interesting selection of sandwiches- you can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into dialing in the sandwiches offered here. Was only in town for a day really- but glad we chose witch lab for one of our meals- only wish we had been in town longer to try out the whole menu.”

“This place hits all the notes - really pleasant staff, cozy surroundings and a delicious meal. Bonus - sit at the bar and your senses are rewarded with the wonderful aroma drifting out of the kitchen. Wish it were in my neighborhood!”

“Delicious and super friendly staff. Wait times aren't too bad as long as you don't go during lunch rush in the summer time. Other boba stores don't compare in quality from my experience!”

“Tucked away down a small alley. Great food and drinks!”

“Great food and atmosphere!”

“I had never had Afghani food until I came here and wow it was amazing🥹
I wish I sat in instead of taken it to go because it was a wonderful atmosphere, I'll be back! Wonderful service and insight, very helpful staff. You can grab from the food bar or order something right from the fire! The chicken kabob dish with rice is seasoned perfectly and they gave me some special chickpeas with a delicious sweet marinade (I provided photos) !!!! 15 minutes free parking nearby and paid parking right in front of the restaurant not sure how much it costs. Food only costed me $20 and they are generous with portion and pack the to go box good for you so it doesn't make a mess in your car. It was so good, the tastes were truly to savor. I had to call up the restaurant just to say how thankful I was🫵❤️”

“Food Review: Royalty Eats Catering – A Soulful Delight at Our Block Party We had the absolute pleasure of working with Royalty Eats for our recent block party, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the service was nothing short of exceptional. Nakesha and her team went above and beyond. They worked with us to create a customized menu that perfectly matched the vibe of our event, and every dish was prepared with obvious care and love. It’s rare to find a catering team that not only delivers on taste but also on professionalism, punctuality, and genuine warmth. Now let’s talk about the food — simply delicious. Every bite was bursting with flavor, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the rich, comforting sides. It’s clear that Royalty Eats brings real soul to their soul food. If you're looking for top-tier catering with heart, flavor, and flawless execution, Royalty Eats is it. We’ll definitely be calling them again for future events!”

“Daisy is the absolute best! And her pink hair is amazing. The vibes are immaculate here. Will be coming back! 🖤”
