Seasonal Local American Cuisine. We use many local products from local farmers. We are located about a mile west of the University of Virginia campus. Historic old home turned into a restaurant. Three small intimate dining rooms upstairs, one on the ground floor and a large weather protected patio. In the winter the Patio is heated. Family owned since 1995. Special diet needs met upon request.

    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.

    This establishment provides a wonderful ambiance and delicious food, making for a delightful dining experience. While I gave it 4 stars overall due to the frequently changing menu, which can make planning ahead a bit challenging when booking in advance, the quality of the food and service truly stand out. The outdoor seating was a highlight—despite the cold weather, it was warm, cozy, and incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend this place for a memorable meal!

    Restaurant accommodated my table request. Service was very good, very attentive. The setting is an old house, so note that some tables are upstairs. Food was well prepared and beautifully presented. The trout is a signature dish, and desserts are artistic renderings of familiar favorites.
