Basic Necessities

Beautiful hole in the wall restaraunt. The music was great and the decor was fantastic, felt like france in the Blue Ridge! Good and service equally as fantastic with a creatively curated menu. Recommend!!

It's a favorite for long-timers in Nelson County for a reason. Excellent food and service. Great wine, cheese, and bread selection in the shop. Always friendly folks working. Have to give the owner and staff a huge thank you for putting together an incredibly tasty take-out dinner for myself and seven guests we had up to Wintergreen on the very, very busy MLK weekend. Food was excellently prepared and very carefully packed for our trip back up the mountain. Really appreciate that there's always a strong vegetarian option on the menu at all times.

Cute little road side place for pastries cheese, wine and coffee. Service is a little slow, but in fairness we were a large group, and it was just the owner acting as a barista (3 star for speed, not necessarily service). But if you're not in a rush, that's totally ok; just be mindful, it isn't a in/out quick cuppa. But super cute location - inside and out. Check out the jam and English muffins for purchase, yummy.

We were very excited to try this place. We frequent several breweries in Nellysford area, we were on a date night and had been wanting to go here. So we gave it a try. We were sorely disappointed. We spent over $100, ordered an appetizer, and two entrees and left starving. The pasta dish was definitely made with the cheapest pasta any other restaurant purchases, with a few pieces of shrimp and crushed tomatoes. On top of that it was cold. We were the only ones in the restaurant at this time, so there was no reason for it to be cold. There was no flavor, and the portion was so small. More of an appetizer than a meal. We love to support small business, and we really wanted to love this place.

I have been to this place numerous times and the food is ALWAYS delicious. I absolutely love the atmosphere. It's one of my favorite restaurants. I don't live in Virginia but every time I visit (a few times a year) I make a point to come here at least twice each trip. The last time I went was for Sunday brunch and there was a Harpist and she was amazing and played modern songs. It made the visit even better. You must try it!!
