5 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Madison

“Had an amazing experience at Early Mountain Vineyards — definitely a winery worth making a special trip for in Virginia. The wine, food, and service were all outstanding, and the level of hospitality honestly reminded me of dining in Japan: attentive, warm, and very detail-oriented.

The winery itself is beautiful and located near Shenandoah National Park, with a relaxing atmosphere and gorgeous scenery. I can absolutely understand why many people consider it one of the most beautiful wineries in Virginia.

The fish & chips completely surprised me. The outside was perfectly crisp while the fish inside stayed incredibly tender. The biggest surprise was the potato cake paired with caviar — it sounded unusual at first, but the combination worked amazingly well, especially with the sauce tying everything together.

Dessert was also memorable. The lemon flavor was bright and intensely refreshing — the first bite almost “woke me up,” but somehow it became more enjoyable with every bite.

I’ve also heard their soft-shell crab and steak are fantastic, but I was already too full to try more this time. Definitely saving those for my next visit. Overall, this was such a relaxing and unexpectedly impressive dining experience.“

“Best Bacon jam smashburger! Every time it's a lunch special I get it! This restaurant is a true staple in our community the only notable Mountaineer platter in existance, epic, original and the best. There home made sauces and Ranch, and now their smashburger sauce they should bottle it too. Steaks, seafood, they have something for everyone.“
