I'm gluten, dairy and soy free. I was passing thru and found a review from someone qith Celiac. I thought, this is definitely a place to try. I'm a foodie at heart. I had the grilled chicken sandwich on GF bread, with aioli, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and fries. I enjoyed the meal, Crystal's service and attention to detail(I missed that the sandwich came with provolone, but she caught it). Parking was a breeze and they weren't very busy when I came in at 1. I'll be back. Prices aren't bad either. I'll definitely be back.

I had confidence that I would not get inadvertently glutened or have stray dairy in my good. I can eat goat's cheese for whatever reason.

Although the crab bisque did not have much flavor, it did have a couple of nice chunks of crabmeat. Other dishes were outstanding especially the squid ink pasta. The blueberry cobbler needed a bit more cobbler to go with all those wonderful blueberries. Service was attentive and unobtrusive. Atmosphere was quirky and delightful.

We ordered food over the phone for take out. We both ordered the market fish which was rockfish, grilled asparagus, kim chi salad and something else. The only problem was there wasn't enough! I could have easily eaten 2 whole servings! Every morsel was better-tasting than the next. Not too salty, mouth-watering flavors, every item cooked to perfection. WOW! I live more than an hour away south of Charlottesville, but I will be back. We had reservations at another Orange restaurant, but we couldn't eat in because it was too hot to leave my dog in the car, plus the other restaurant didn't have salmon, turns out the rockfish was an excellent choice, I didn't miss having salmon at all. The phone gal and wait people inside who checked me out were friendly, efficient and supportive. The place inside had a beautiful vibe, nice low buzz of patrons chatting, eating, drinking ... seems like a wonderful eatery with a small town atmosphere and charm and fantastic chef and kitchen. Thank you.

We had our company Christmas dinner at this fine establishment. Upon arrival I met the owner Stephanie, a remarkably funny lady, and a pleasure to talk to. The atmosphere is laid back. The gentleman that was responsible for handling our party was fantastic, I'm sorry for forgetting his name. The food was amazing, and from all my employees I was told was delicious. So if you live in Orange,Va or are passing through, I recommend that you stop in for an amazing experience, you will not be disappointed. I plan on returning next Christmas for our company dinner, if not sometime well before then. Thank you again Stephanie and your staff for making our dinner a remarkable experience

Why am I limited to only 5 stars? Why can’t I add 1 or 2 or 50 more stars. I am not exaggerating when I say this restaurant might have some the the best food and inventive drinks I have ever seen! Every dish was outstanding!! Every drink was well mixed and just delicious!! I am so happy we came here and I want to take the 2.5 hour trip from our house just for more! The live music was great! I really wish I could give every star ever to this place!!!

I ordered the Shrimp Scampi Risotto. The presentation was excellent as well as the creamy sauce but I was somewhat disappointed there wasn't much Risotto. It was almost more like a soup. Unfortunately I couldn't give the restaurant a higher rating, especially after having a disagreement with the manager. We walked in around 6:30pm and we were seated in the dining room. I noticed a "happy hour" drink special that ended at 7pm. I specifically asked the young lady filling our water glasses (who I thought was our waitress) if I can order the happy hour drinks in the dining room and she said "yes, absolutely!" She relayed my drink order to my waitress. When I got the bill I noticed it was full price. I asked my waitress and she wasn't sure why it came up full price, so she went to see the manager. The manager explained that the happy hour specials only are for the bar side of the restaurant and would not adjust the bill. We explained that we asked before ordering and were told that we can order those drink specials and the menu placard did not say "bar area only". The manager shutdown the disagreement by using the "I may be rude and unaccomodating, but I'm from New York" excuse.

Decided on this place after seeing the menu online. We were surprised when we arrived to see the menu was completely different. It was partially our fault, we failed to notice the pictures of the menu were two years old. The menu is very different and prices are very different as well. The restaurant was very clean and staff is nice. We ordered Pimento Cheese & Fried Pickles which were very good and everything complemented each other very well. We also ordered the Gnocchi, the flavor was excellent but the portion size seemed small for $14. For entrées we ordered the Vegetable Risotto again flavors were awesome and portion size was huge, but on the downside the risotto was a little soupy for us. Our second entrée was the Lemon Basil Linguine, this was the true gem of our evening, everything about it was exquisite from the chicken, pasta, and the sauce it was out of this world good. Fork on main is definitely a place I would recommend for people to try if in the area.
