   Excellent meal and service at the bar as reservations were not available. Delicious dinner for two included sharing the surryano ham as a starter, and then hand rolled fettuccine and wild rockfish as entrees. Lovely selection of wines and cocktails as well. A friendly atmosphere and great food guarantee that we will return on our next visit to Charlottesville. VA.

   I absolutely loved my experience at C&O. The food was delicious (it was hard to pick just one main though!), the wait staff was on point, and the restaurant lived up to all its hype. Hope to go back soon.

   I don’t live in Charlottesville but this would certainly be a restaurant I would go back to if I ever return

   We attended on Feb 15th from out of town, so the menu was a prefix for a specific price that included a three course dinner so the value on the normal menu is not considered in my review. The duck confit and filet of beef were both outstanding. Flavored perfectly and not too overpowering. My wife ordered the scallops (salted perfectly) and rack of lamb in which she enjoyed as well. The salsa verde with the lamb was to die for. The citrus really complimented the lamb. I really have no complaints about the food quality as it was all amazing. It was delicious and well worth the price of the prefix. The chocolate bread pudding was heavy for me, but I am not a big dessert person. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the coconut cake with chocolate sauce. The ambiance was quiet (second floor) and we felt a bit underdressed (lot of suits and dresses), but we understand many were out on a valentines dinner. Our server was attentive and funny, but not over bearing, and had some great suggestions for us (pointed me towards the chocolate bread pudding over the strawberry sundae). Although the cost is upper tier, the food was dynamite and we would definitely return for a special occasion. Definitely a memorable night where we left absolutely stuffed and pleasantly surprised.

   We enjoyed it completely. How the C&O has maintained such a classic dining experience for decades is a mystery. It still feels like a speak-easy with such a warm and intimate arrival. The service is refined but not intrusive. The staff was remarkably knowledgeable on the menu and wine pairings. The dinner was superb and hit the mark. This is still a place C’ville considers an insider’s treasure. Go soon and go often. You won’t find a better experience or value. A place to tell stories and enjoy the journey. Cheers! Dan

   The Valentine‘s fixed price menu was amazing. The scallops, lobster, lamb and desserts were out of this world. Our server, Kendall, was great.

    Our favorite restaurant in CVille! Everything is always amazingly delicious and the ambiance in the downstairs with the bar is perfection! We love C&O!
