Had lunch with mom and one of her friends we talked and ate outside . There is plenty of outside seating. The three cheese grilled sandwiches are their favorite. We had the carrot cake for dessert ?.

Take out customer here, about 25 times. Nellysford/WG are much better off with Basic Necessities. I've never had a bad meal there. Crazy times for the service industry. At their best, magic! At their worst, still pretty good. Often some of both. I'll be back again and again.

Such a cute little diamond in the rough! Looks like an ordinary mountain side building on the outside, but when you walk in, you can imagine yourself in a little European Cafe. We ate Sunday brunch there, and everyone enjoyed their food. They also seem to have an extensive wine selection. The place is small, with some outside seating, so I would recommend making a reservation.Vegetarian options: Cheese plate with fresh fruit. Omlete of the day was gouda and mushrooms.

Very quaint French-inspired bistro hidden in the Wintergreen area. They have a very limited brunch menu, but what they do offer is very tasty. Nice touches like homemade sugar cubes for coffee, and a nice starter of freshly-made yogurt with granola and fruit. The people are very friendly, and the atmosphere is very country yet artsy. They also have a huge selection of wine, cheese, and charcuterie. We will definitely be back for dinner soon.

Wonderful service, and delicious food. The space is cute and cozy. They also have outdoor seating on a little backyard/garden area. Looked like they sold some good wines, chocolate and other items in the store at the front. Definitely worth stopping in. You may want to make a reservation since the dining room is small.
