    There is no restaurant venue in the central Shenandoah Valley area that is any better than the Joshua Wilton House when it comes to the complete package. Excellent food, fine wine list, beautiful venue, and excellent service. And, yes, we do have a number of fine restaurants in the area. None checks all the boxes any better than the JWH. For a small intimate dinner or a celebration for a crowd. Joshua Wilton House is an outstanding choice. It is our go-to for any special gathering.

    Our over all experience during dinner at the Joshua Wilton Place House was very good. Though our reservation was slightly delayed, we were escorted to the bar and, after a few minutes wait, ordered cocktails. We were shown to our table about 20 minutes later. The pre-fixe meal was delicious, well prepared, and fulfilling. Total bill including tax and tip was around $250
