- JJames JacksonCoastal North Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWe've heard of C&O for years, in the same hushed tones reserved for family secrets and arcane initiations. It's a must, a Charlottesville icon. It's dark and glorious and defies definition or explanation. Go, you Charlottesvillian. Don't ask or argue. Just go. Having been for our first time, I can safely say: we get it now. My fiancee and I had reservations Halloween night. We were ushered past gas lamps and a thick door into a dreamscape of candles, oak paneling, and thoughtful, talented staff (all in coordinated ghostly wedding apparel). We were given a corner table in a downstairs bar teeming with delicious smells and happy regulars. This place is clearly redolent in happy memories and good history. We split house bread, superb cocktails in last-century coupe glasses, steak chinois and duck confit gnocchi that was delicious beyond worss. C&O felt transportive, something special, magical, and meaningful, like a church or hidden garden. The place it holds in the hearts of Charlottesville makes complete sense now. I cannot recommend C&O more highly.More infoC&O$$$$• American• Charlottesville•4.9

Staff was friendly and attentive. Food was hot and delicious! Crab dip was yummy and the salmon was a big hit for my husband.

- SSeasonGoldVirginia •13 reviews5.0Dined on Aug 30, 2026Oh my: the food here was so spectacular that it made my heart happy. It was honestly the best meal we have had in quite a while. The restaurant is beautiful. The service left a little to be desired; but the food was so good we didn’t even care. Excellent place for a leisurely Sunday brunch. Highly recommend. We can’t wait to go back.More infoMilk & Honey - Charlottesville$$$$• Comfort Food• Charlottesville•3
