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.”

“We’re so incredibly happy that we chose Castle Hill for our wedding! The entire venue is absolutely stunning, from the outdoor areas to the bride and grooms suites to the effortlessly beautiful reception space. The built-in rain plan relieved so much stress during the planning process. Can’t recommend it enough!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Surprising treat fried chicken amazing.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Decided to visit the city of Charlottesville Virginia with the husband. Found this brewery and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be an excellent choice.

Our bartender Tatum was charming, incredibly knowledgeable about the product and gave us great suggestions. Honestly, their Harringbone NE Hazy IPA is the best I've ever had. With that bright citrus beginning and a smooth ending, it doesn't have the aftertaste that so many hazy IPAs have. I like the fact that they offer a 6 oz pour on most of their beers.

I also had the farro, wild rice, quinoa salad, a tasty blend of roasted veggies, mixed greens, toasted walnuts and a citrus herb vinaigrette, topped with feta cheese. It was very tasty indeed.

If you're in the area, check it out! You will not be disappointed.”

“Everything we tried was phenomenal. Loved the variety of vegetarian options. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. Cocktails were great too! Will be back if I’m in the area again for sure.”

“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!”

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

“Wonderful food and atmosphere!”

“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!!!”

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

“Great food and atmosphere!”

“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!”

“The food was excellent, very flavorful .”

“We took our dinner club to Birdhouse last week and had an absolute blast. The dinner was beautiful with lots of delicious chicken and side dishes that included macaroni and cheese and homemade kale. Absolutely awesome, loved it, and we'll be back.”

“I love EVERYTHING about The Jervey! We dine out a lot and this is the best meal we've had in a restaurant in a long time. It has a great setting and vibe, but more importantly, the food was delicious and cooked perfectly. The staff is friendly, professional and enthusiastic about the menu. We have already booked for our next trips to Charlottesville.”

“The team at mission bbq in Charlottesville delivers excellent customer service every time we come in. My husband and I have been to many Mission bbq’s along the east coast but this one is the our favorite! The food is always on point and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“Taste of Paris! Confused? Buenos Aires, Argentina, is known as the Paris of the Americas. These brothers have brought their home to us. Enjoy!!!”

“I promised the owner of this joint that I'd write a glowing review, since I rhapsodically praised his talents in person earlier today, and I'm thrilled to do so.

The Brassica Oleracea is, quite simply, the greatest sandwich I've eaten in my life. It's a delicious mix of carefully considered ingredients that combine perfectly into a sweet and savory blend, and the textures all interplay perfectly. The focaccia is outstanding. And the broccoli is flawless - the char is incredible, and there's not a hint of sogginess. If you're a vegetarian, you'll be delighted. And if you're a meat eater, you'll also be pleased - every sandwich on this menu is an imaginative and delicious feat.

It's bare-bones, and extremely clean. You punch your order into a kiosk, and they have a modest selection of drinks (there's also water with paper cups available). There's a little area outside where you can find a table and eat. If you're looking for a sit-down experience indoors where you'll be fawned over by a waiter, this isn't it. But if you're starving and want a creative and substantial lunch, this place totally has you covered.

I hope The Wich Lab is around for a long, long time, and I'm excited to bring more Charlottesville visitors to this fabulous eatery. This town has so many stellar dining options, but this little unpretentious sandwich place is right at the top of the heap.”
