Restaurants near Hampden Sydney College Historic District

The menu variety was perfect. The food was excellent along with the service. I highly recommend adding the Cocunt Cow cake with French pressed coffee for dessert. Beautiful decor and phenomenal service!

The Thanksgiving buffet was excellent! Great selection. The turkey and shrimp and grits were the best!!

Perfect for a late meal after attending a downtown event. One of only a few places open late, got a table at 8:30. Appetizers, drinks, and a light meal. Casual but still upscale.

Two of us dined here to celebrate my wife's birthday. Appetizers were very good (beet salad and she crab soup), but the main entrees (duck & pork chop) were only OK. Pork chop was well cooked, but the sear made it taste mostly of charcoal and overpowered the other tastes. It was moist but fairly tough. Carrots were hard and bitter and purple cauliflower just looked strange! My wife said the duck was very good, but also avoided the veggies. Biggest surprise and disappointment were the dessert offerings. My wife was offered a free selection from the dessert menu for her birthday (which was nice), but it turns out that all four selections contain High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) to which she is allergic. We have never encountered this problem at a high-end restaurant before - typically they make their desserts from scratch (HFCS is found in low-end processed ingredients). Even their ice cream had it! We ended up having dessert at home.

Great food. Can’t believe I’d never eaten here before. Definitely won’t be my last.
