- KKenVIPWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoIf you’re looking for sushi in Charlottesville, this is the best you will find. It has a great vibe, excellent sushi, cool atmosphere, top notch service and I will come back again next time I’m visiting from San Diego. Only reason I didn’t give it 5* for every category is I’m spoiled in SD with what I think is the best in the country 😋. Go here if you can you won’t regret it!More infoTenPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Charlottesville•4.8
- GGeneVIPVirginia •57 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoIt's as if a nice little bistro from Paris was air-dropped in Charlottesville. A splendid dining experience with a superb menu, smartly chosen wine list, and a great location. Staff is just super and the chef outdid himself with the seafood offerings.More infoCafe FrankPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French / American • Charlottesville•4.7
- AAmyVirginia •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoServer was great- very attentive, polite and friendly. The wait for food was a little long, and the noise level was a little too loud. But the food was great- pizza and salads were delicious!More infomatchbox CharlottesvillePrice: Moderate• American• Charlottesville•4.4
- JJayWashington, D.C. Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoI chose this place mostly based upon other reviews. Just looking at a few photos posted and seeing their plated dishes I knew it would be great quality food. They delivered on all aspects. They offered to take our coats upon arrival and seated us at a table for two by a window. Our server, Logan, was very attentive and answered all of our questions about the menu. We let him know we were in town for a show at the arena, so he made a point to timing everything to keep us on track. The stuffed wild mushroom appetizer was delicious as was the main course. We had the beef tenderloin and raviolis. Everything was cooked to perfection; both excellent choices. The wines by the glass are a limited subset of their offerings, but there are enough options. We skipped dessert, but indulged in coffee. Once again the expresso and cappuccino were perfect. Our show that night was enjoyable, but my date made more mention of how great dinner was than anything else. Great choice for a date night.More infoHamiltons' At First & MainPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Charlottesville•4.7
- CClodaghWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on May 19, 2024It was simply amazing. We celebrated our son’s graduation and everything could not have been better — delicious mimosas, scrumptious chips and guacamole, and main dishes that were probably the most delicious Mexican cuisine we have eaten anywhere. Our grad got a complementary tequila shot that was icing on the cake. Thank you! 🫶🏼More infoThe BebederoPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Charlottesville•4.5
