Good food, well prepared and served. One of Charlottesville's best.

The NY Strip was amazing as was the lobster Mac and cheese. Happy hour drinks are of great value and the service with Katie was attentive and friendly!

We showed up (very) early for our reservation and they accommodated us. Their raw oysters were ice cold, briny, fresh, clean and already loosened from their shells…just the way they should be. Perfection.

The atmosphere was casual. The food was amazing. We started with a black bean hummus appetizer. My friend had the catfish soup and I had the sirloin and duck fat fries. I ordered three specialty sauces to compliment the meat. It was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten. Fries were great too. We took home a dessert because we were so full but we couldn’t pass up one of their homemade treats. Missy was our waitress and she was very knowledgeable of the menu and very friendly. We would definitely go back and try another dish next time in town.
