“With this part of Virginia having very little places with good food and vibes. This place is an absolute gem. A must visit for folks who are coming from out of town. Top notch.”
“Recommendations:- Cocktails (possibly the best in town)- Hamachi crudo (beautifully complex)- Market fish entrée (amazing broth)- Raki (so hard to find!)Concerns:- Salt levels often very high- Charred octopus was very tough (overcooked before charring)Overall a lovely atmosphere and excellent service. A great place for a social upscale dinner, few places like it in Cville. The RAKI is served traditional style and this is the only place you can find it in Cville - it is strong and for some an acquired taste but I highly recommend.”
“My only complaint is that I wish Fleurie would enforce business casual attire. I feel like a prude but there was a couple seated that looked like they just came in from doing yard work.”
“This eatery has so many good options-mostly whole plant-based! It's also a super cozy spot and has a patio. I loved the miso mac & cheese, the sticky cauliflower, the crispy chix sandwich, and the cauliflower soup.”
“We chose this place because it was new to us and it was our 16th anniversary dinner. Not only were we pleasantly surprised by the hospitality from beginning to end but also by the ambience and delicious foods. Our server , Cecelia was beyond delightful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She and Michael made our meal that much better of an already delightful experience. The chef, kitchen and experienced beverage team catered to our dietary and beverage needs without a problem and pivoted seamlessly. We appreciated the culinary experience and will recommend Broadcloth to everyone. We will absolutely be back !”
“Really delicious food. They also did a fantastic job accommodating my unusual allergy—had notes prepped in advance of what could be modified, which was a lot! Great atmosphere.Dietary restrictions: Great at accommodating an unusual allergy.”
“What a great place! Yes it might be hard to find but that is part of the charm. I have eaten in restaurants with James Beard award winning chefs and multiple stars but this dinner went beyond my expectations. Yes you need reservations. Yes the place is full but I never felt rushed (like they were anxious to turn the table). What they did to a humble carrot dish left me wanting to be a vegetarian!!! However their beef tartare made be rejoice that I wasn’t!! Micha has to be a magical bartender, don’t hesitate to simply tell the waitstaff your flavor profile and left him work his magic. I must return to Cville if for no other reason than to enjoy another heavenly dinner.”
“This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Charlottesville. The pastries and Empanadas are fresh made right in front of you by some very good looking men from argentina:) but that coffee is perfect every time and not overpriced!! Support this local cute gem:)”
“Me and my partner have been going here regularly since we moved to Charlottesville. The people who run and work here are so friendly and the food is so delicious!!”
“Another gourmet dinner and pleasant experience. We split the scallops starter, steak Nicoise with sides of beets and mushrooms. All were cooked perfectly with interesting sauces and flavors(like horseradish sauce cream sauce on the beets). Our friends came to C&O for the first time and loved it.”
“Adorable restaurant. The art and the building itself is gorgeous. Our server handled the allergies in our large group like a complete pro. She was awesome and I wish I caught her name. The food was so comforting yet elevated. The fried green tomatoes were crisp with the most delicious pimento cheese. The biscuits were so good we had to order a second round. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the pork tenderloin and it was so juicy. The sweet potato gratin and the braised cabbage paired perfectly. Really great value for the large portion I received. Do not pass on dessert! The mud pie in the jar was so good! A great experience from beginning to end. I will be back!”
“Probably the nicest people I have ever met in my life. Best vibes from staff and fellow customers. Southern home cooking just like mama makes, actually better, lol.”
“This restaurant exceeded our expectations! Our daughter was doing a college visit at UVA and we decided to walk around a bit on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Found this place along the way and decided to grab lunch. Hubby and I ordered the beet/arugula salad, the lamb merguez kale white bean soup, and the trout with green beans. This was more than enough for us to share. The salad was perfect for us - not heavily dressed, which allowed the goat cheese, oranges and beets to shine. The soup was fantastic - well proportioned with the right mix of kale, beans and sausage. I loved that the merguez sausage were meatball-like. The trout was fantastic - the skin was crisp and cooked perfectly (my favorite part), along with the green beans. The almonds, garlic and capers gave it the extra umph. My only critique is there was more butter than I prefer, but we were having lunch at a French restaurant. I cannot forget to mention the cocktails. Hubby's Mezcalita was delicious. My Spicy Compassion was perfect- not too spicy (if you like habaneros, you'll be fine. If you think black pepper is spicy, have a glass of milk ready) and passionfruit forward. If our daughter gets accepted to UVA, we'll definitely be back!”
“I love the seafood here! The oyster selection is always fun, and everything I have eaten here has been delicious! (Definitely get the bread, the butter is made in house and it's addictive!) The prices are not crazy either. This is a great place for date night or a special celebration.The only thing I didn't like was the lobster bisque, and it was really not bad, just wayyyy too salty. Everything else was so good. I'm looking forward to dining here again!Parking: Parking is a little tricky if you don't know the area. The easiest place I've found is the parking lot next to the train station. There is sometimes street parking for closer spacesKid-friendliness: Not a great place to bring kids. It's very loud and can get crowded. This is a nice establishment that should be visited when you are able to get a babysitter”
“I love cakebloom! Aside from having the best cakes, the staff are so welcoming, Verna was exceptionally warm. I am an indecisive person and she helped me choose a drink. The ambiance is also amazing. Definitely going to be my go-to.”
“this place is an experience in the best way. managed to get an early reservation on a friday night (heads up, they’re busy!) and so happy we did. service was super attentive, friendly, funny, and thoughtful. we sat at the high top with a view of the kitchen and bar which was a great time. and the food: delicious. we had the no carne versions of the tamale, coliflor, mole molido, and enfrijoladas and each was a delight. they were timed as courses perfectly and all had distinct flavors and notes. the margarita and mezcaltini were both on point. but then listen: the chocolate tres leches cake. I would go back for that alone. give this place a try, you’ll understand when you’re there.”
“I have travelled the entire world from Bamako to Quanzhou, spent decades wandering this cruel and beautiful world.Nothing has led me to weep, break down on the ground in tears of astonishment and joy.Nothing except La Flor Michoacana.Alhamdoulillah, for I have found paradise at last.”
“Fantastic location and service. Elly the bartender was such a delight and knowledgeable about the coffee menu. She made me the best cafè con leche. 5/5 recommend!”
“Awesome spot! I took a day trip from Richmond to Charlottesville in large part to visit Kindness Cafe and it was well worth it. Super warm and positive atmosphere. My berry smoothie and blueberry & lemon bar were both very good and quite reasonably priced. Service was friendly and the food came out super fast! Great opportunity to support the local special needs community.”
“Bodo's is always great, and the customer service is always top notch. Plus they are awesome about making my custom half OJ half carbonated water orange soda for me.”
“Really good breakfast altho my biscuits felt and tasted a little old.Dietary restrictions: Happily accommodated our gluten intolerance and put eggs Benedict over hash browns vs English muffin.”
“After spending years in Germany and enjoying the wonderful döner there, I was excited that Otto came to C'ville. It did not disappoint. My partner had chicken and I had beef. It was less greasy than what I was used to. With the tzatziki sauce and a dab of spicy, the durum wraps were great! The only recommendation I have is to have a garlic sauce available. Will be taking the whole family here in the future.”
“If I could leave this place 6 stars I would. The service is amazing the food is even better. The dumpling appetizer was one of the best things I’ve eaten I think that is a must try if you come here. Everything else was just as good and service is fast and everything is fresh. This is a must must must try!! Thank you Chang Thai thank you chef Joe”
“Seriously, the best smoothie I’ve ever had in my life, it was The Captain. The avocado toast was also out of this world. Willem Was solo, but greeted every customer with calm and patience. Will definitely be back here.!”
“A go-to recommendation for larger parties (6-8), vegetarians, or parties with a variety of tastes and preferences. You'll get high-minded flavors in a relatively casual setting with excellent service. Oakhart has some of the best vegetable dishes in the city (beets or charred carrots), while also offering excellent pizzas. The cocktails are creative and affordable ($13). Consistently a five star experience.”
“Very nice service and great food. One of the best bakeries I have ever been to. We went back to get warm baguettes at noon and I tried the French onion croissant. OMG. Life changer.”
“Fantastic food and fair price for C-ville. Short walking distance from the Mall area, accessible parking, and quick service. If you go, get the grit tots or the thick-fila!!Parking: Very close to a parking lot that is adjacent to the mall area downtown. There was also a parking garage. I assume the street parking was free with limited times.”
“Service was very fast considering it was absolutely packed. The staff was very accommodating in my wife's allergies and she had no reactions thankfully!! We will be back soon.”
“Manager Matt is very cool! Friendly staff always. Great atmosphere. Military friendly. My friend loves the 6 types of sauces. I love its sweet potato dessert. Saw the whole store standing up for national anthem on Saturday at 12pm. Although it’s a chain, this store’s quality is not compromised. Recommend!Parking: Many parking.”
“What an awesome place! They are doing so many improvements to the overall experience. I can't wait until they finish the new tasting room, which will be incredible. They have a great selection of food, mini golf, and even a dog park. The Rosé wine was perfect, staff is so friendly, and the owners are great! Highly recommend if you've never been and go back if you haven't gone in a while. Such a pretty spot!”
