The kitchen writes its seasonal tasting menu from the garden and the growers around us, then pours a wine flight beside it. Private dining and a Sunday family supper run on the same table.
Our sourcing is deliberately short. The menu is written after the harvest rather than before it, built from what the garden and the growers around Charlottesville are giving that week.
Guests can walk the beds with the kitchen before service on a chef’s garden tour — the same rows the evening’s courses are drawn from.
Two lists arrive at the table together: what the kitchen is cooking this week, and what the cellar has matched to it — chosen course by course, poured alongside the plate rather than after it.
A set menu that changes as the season does, built from what the garden and our growers give that week. Vegetarian and dietary variations are made on request when you reserve.
A glass for each course, chosen by the floor team to answer the plate instead of following it. Available alongside the full menu, or by the glass from the list.
The dining room runs the evening at one unhurried pace, with the seasonal tasting menu at its centre and the wine flight poured beside it.
Behind it, the private dining room holds a table of your own — for celebrations, company dinners and gatherings that want their own timing.
Tuesday through Saturday, the room runs the seasonal tasting menu and its wine flight, course by course, at a steady and deliberate pace. Tables are held from 5:30, with the last seating at 9:00.
Sunday is the other half of the week: one shared supper, set for passing, served the way a family table is served. Seatings in the late afternoon and early evening.
Reserve the dining room for the seasonal tasting menu, hold the private room for your own table, or ask about the Sunday family supper. Tell us the date and we’ll match the rest.
