Restaurants near Montgomery Hall Park

An intimate setting where expectations were exceeded with an interesting menu highlighted by stellar service and excellent food, prepared well. The portions were perfect, the flavors not overbearing and the ambiance was perfect for a delicious meal served at a relaxing pace. Next time, we’ll try something from the dessert menu.

The Local is a Charlottesville favorite for those seeking great food in an energetic environment. The food is well-prepared and consistently great tasting. Even with a reservation, there may be a 10 - 15 min wait, but it is well worth it!

First time back since Duner’s changed hands. We were greeted warmly, seated on the porch, which was warm and comfortable. Noise level not as bad as it usually is in the main dining room. Service was perfect, attentive, friendly. Thrilled to see the duck egg rolls and fried oysters still on the menu; they do not disappoint! Crab cakes were stellar, as always. (Duners and Hamiltons are the only places I will order crab cakes in Cville; grew up picking crab so I have high standards and expect crab cakes without filler.) My husband had the lamb and declared it delicious and perfectly prepared. Almond streusel with cherries a al mode was phenomenal, as was my husband’s raspberry chocolate cake. So happy to know the best parts of the old Duners live on.

We had the Valentine's Wine Dinner at The Farmhouse. The setting, service and food were exquisite. My only complaint was the long waits between courses. We were seated in the patio area (enclosed), which was apparently the last section to be served each course. The presentation is fantastic, and the pours ample. At the end, the chef came around to speak with each table which was a nice touch. This is a great place for that special occasion!

Fried shrimp was doughy inside, but our servers Kennedy G. was excellent. She was very polite, promp and overall one of the best we've had in a long time! Thank you Kennedy G.
