Shirley's is the best thing that has happened in Old Towne Petersburg in a very long time. The food is superb, the service is wonderful and I cannot wait to go back. I have been there for lunch twice and I highly recommend the tomato bisque that comes with a delicious mini cornbread and the new "composed salad" is outstanding, especially with the southern buttermilk dressing. Desserts are unique and so tasty. My favorite part of the meal each time was that I had coffee with warm cream. I have never had that at a restaurant before. Service is outstanding and atmosphere is so nice. I highly recommend Shirley's for lunch. I love it!

First we had a drink in the beautiful, cozy bar. That was a very nice space. For dinner, our service was very good. The green tomato starter was good, followed by salmon, also good. The renovation work is incredible. So well done! The lights in the restaurant are glaring and way too bright. Perhaps consider dimmers? Because of the lighting, the ambiance was lack luster. Consider background music, candle on the table, perhaps a simple bloom in a vase. All in all, we enjoyed our evening and look forward to returning with a more extensive menu.
