Best Restaurants for Foodies in Charlottesville

We go to Ten two or three times a year as a special occasion, and it never fails to impress us with the quality of food and service. The menu does not change very much, and what they do, they do very well. Always thoughtful service, too.

Always an excellent meal at Hamilton’s, our go-to restaurant on the downtown mall. The off-menu lobster ravioli was outstanding. Paul’s service is always impeccable.

When everyone at your table is trying to decide which part of their meals they loved best (apps, entrees, sides) you know the food was amazing!

The Ivy Inn is our "go to" C'ville restaurant for special events. The reason? The food is always creative & outstanding, the prices on the wine list are very reasonable, and the service is consistently excellent. (Plus, the portions are typically large enough to take home leftovers). Last night's dinner was no exception. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

An amazing experience at Fleurie as usual. The closest thing to a true French restaurant in the region. It's expensive and it's worth it.
