Restaurants near Rapidan Wildlife Management Area

Can't get the patio right. Either freezing or hot air blowing directly on you.

Food and service was excellent. When I made the reservation, I mentioned it was my daughter's birthday, then printed special menus for us that had "happy birthday" on them.

My friends and I had dinner at The Local. We were very pleased with the food and cocktails. Chad was our waiter and he was great. Very attentive. The location was great as it was in walking distance to our rental as well as walkable to the Downtown Mall area.

The food was amazing! The steak was literally, like butter. The caesar salad was delicious, dressing had just the right amount of tang. We had the lobster Mac n cheese, smashed red potatoes and brussel sprouts. Would repeat every one of these dishes! The cherry crème brûlée was unique but not outlandish! Loved the luxardo cherries on top! Our waitress was lovely, made great recommendations and checked on us often. Will definitely be back.

Overall, five star. Nitpicks: we both had surf and turf. Wife’s steak was overcooked, more than requested medium rare. They offered to replace it but that would be wasteful. Accompanying shrimp were peel and eat which was unexpected. Otherwise, no complaints. We would go again if in the area. The inn was a great place to stay.
