Restaurants near University of Virginia

What a great meal! We were expertly guided through the very interesting and complete menu by Allie, our server. Superbly prepared aged beef and great sides. Highly recommend!

Our service was incredible. The food amazing. The drinks delicious. I'm from out of town and this was the perfect romantic date night and really left a lasting impression. I've had a lot of subpar experiences this trip and Ten was the best experience I've had in this city BY FAR and in the past few months. Cannot recommend Ten enough. Want a night to remember? Go to Ten.

As always, amazing food and good service in a pleasant atmosphere.

We'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.

It's been a long time snce my last visit to Public Fish & Oyster but they have the same excellent service and food as always. The service was top notch, and the quality of the food was very good. I must commend the management on the outstanding selection and volume of the music. So many restaurants get that one detail wrong and the noise level will destroy an otherwise enjoyable experience. I want to be able to carry on a conversation with my companions and a little background music of classic rock, Jazz or Blues is great as long as it isn't too loud. Public Fish & Oyster got it right! The staff was clearly on their game, everything flowed like it should and the meal was perfect!
