11 Best American Restaurants in Charlottesville

“Delicious! Great service, made you feel welcomed.“

“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.“

“Staff were very attentive and helpful with our food and beverage selection. When it got crowded, it got a little loud but you could still hold a conversation. T-shirts and goodies were cheap!!!! Parking was good. I'll go back when I visit!!“

“We visited Tonic on what was probably the nicest day of weather this year, so that definitely factored into our experience. For cocktails we ordered a "wabbit-season," a G&T, a beet drink and an "al Pastor." All were fantastic but the Wabbit-season was the standout favorite. The charcuterie board was great and had unique flavors. The pork belly sandwich was really top-tier good! Service was great too. All in all, we can't recommend Tonic enough--especially on a nice day!“

“We ate at Broadcloth. It was excellent! The four of us each had the four-course selection. Scallops, pork confit, spinalis dorsi tartare, rib-eye, and dark chocolate crémeux were all to die for. Service was also top notch. Other places in C-ville should take lessons from this place.“

“Great atmosphere and perfect place to stop and grab a drink and/or dinner! Perfect downtown location. Owner goes above and beyond for customers!“

“I secured reservations well in advance for my bday dinner. I'm so glad I did! It was amazing! Everything we ate was absolutely perfect! We ordered 9 plates for 2 people and took home 4 to-go boxes! We definitely over ordered, but we wanted to try so many things! Tapas sizes are perfect for 2. I even scored a free dessert for my birthday! This place is in my top 3 best restaurants in Charlottesville. Can't wait to go back!The staff was friendly and efficient. Parking can be difficult to find, as it's all street parking.“

“Great service and beautiful hotel! We loved the Cafe and the gift shopping area!“

“My kids and I had breakfast here and it was delicious! The hot cocoa was creamy and delicious and the Belgian waffle was perfection. We didn’t have lunch or dinner here, so I can’t speak to that, but I highly recommend the breakfast, which was also very reasonably priced for a resort.Kid-friendliness: They were very kind to my children, offering kid safe cups with lids, extra napkins, and spacious seating .“

“My husband took me here for our anniversary. service was top notch, and the food! OMG! I got the filet, he got the NY strip. I just can't say enough good things about the food and service. seriously, u will not be disappointed!!!“

“Prepare to be amazed! Every bite was unsurpassed. From the mouthwatering fresh home made bread and imported French butter to the savory steak special. Be sure to save some room for the rhubarb and strawberry custard. I will warn that such culinary excellence comes with a price so be prepared to spend more than your average meal.“
