    The place is of course unique and the food is amazing. The meatballs are out of this world and the truffle soap was so good. Avery was very professional and made all the right suggestion which we followed and truly enjoyed. Highly recommended for sure

    It's as if a nice little bistro from Paris was air-dropped in Charlottesville. A splendid dining experience with a superb menu, smartly chosen wine list, and a great location. Staff is just super and the chef outdid himself with the seafood offerings.

    Fleurie continues to embody the highest standards of classic, yet still modern French and American dining, with outstanding food, décor and service. The food on the seasonally changing menu is always superb, with innovative twists that keep it interesting as well as delicious. The three-course prix-fixe menu, which also includes several additional gratis dishes, provides a wealth of choices, including nightly specials, and accommodates vegetarians as well as meat and fish eaters. The wine list is also tops, and the service and welcoming, comfortable ambiance could not be better. Fleurie remains our favorite spot by far for a celebration.

    The only glitch that I had at this restaurant was that they didn’t have my open table reservation. Fortunately, we were able to get a table regardless.
