I was tempted to rate this place a five, but since it's my first review I held back. We ate early and were seated before the rush, so first off, I rec…

Great food, excellent service. The atmosphere can be a bit snobby (depending on who is dining). I always enjoy going there. Will be back.…

Better the second time around. After a two year avoidance period after an extremely unpalatable first visit we decided to give it another try. Better …

Consistently Great. The menu highlights some of the best locally-procured items and the Staff is always courteous and professional. The bison was delicious, all vegetables are cooked perfectly- not overcooked as in most places in Charlottesville – and each dish phase nuances that add texture and layers. The Filet Mignon was the only one I’ve had in the area that was truly the prime cut AND not cooked to death. Well worth the money. I would be remiss not to mention the incredible wine list with offerings for every range – just wish there were international offerings.
Top notch for food quality, service and value & in a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Recognition of a birthday was low key, classy and generous. (Special menu, welcome Cava, and brownie bites on a decorated plate at the end). Rachel was our attentive, not obsequious, server. The trout, lamb, chicken and tenderloin were excellent. Starters of foie gras, shrimp n grits and mushroom medley also delicious. We’ll be back!
My family had one of the best meals I can remember in a long time. Every course was terrific. From the shrimp and grits and crispy pork belly, to the roasted chicken, beef tenderloin and crab cakes. The deserts were equally delicious, including a wonderful cheese platter. The atmosphere and service were great and nothing was rushed. A clear winner!
Excellent food and very nice ambiance!. Our family of five had a wonderful dinner at the Ivy Inn Restaurant over Easter weekend 2013! The food, the wine and the ambiance was all perfect. Very good restaurant that we will definitely visit again!
EXCELLENT. We were staying overnight in Charlottesville and went for dinner. This restaurant is excellent. My wife started with the shrimp and grits appetizer which she said was the best shrimp appetizer she ever had. I had the seafood chowder which was great. My wife had the lamb duet which was lamb chops and lamb meatballs. It was an unusual dish but she really enjoyed it. I had the veal Osso bucco. I see this dish done with lamb frequently but veal is so much better. It was outstanding. We finished off by sharing the profiteroles which were really good too.The next time I am in Charlottesville I would love to go again.
Very overrated! Food quality has gone down hill. Lost it’s flair.
A favorite. One of our favorite places. Especially for a special occasion. We have had graduation and birthday dinners here with large groups. Staff went the extra mile to make sure that all had a good time and enjoyed their meals. Food is always well-prepared.
