    Great time celebrating a birthday with our Duke. The restaurant is a great choice for a special night. Service was fantastic and the staff were all helpful, friendly and attentive. The food was very good although the menu choices are limited.

    Joshua Wilton is a consistently excellent experience. The entrees are always expertly prepared and the service is always top notch. Their soups are particularly noteworthy and always worth trying. The menu includes enough different options to satisfy just about anyone's desires yet is focused enough to maintain the highest degree of quality for each entree.

    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.
