Nice restaurant for the occasion. Cool interior with brick walls and dim light, very intimate atmosphere. The food was excellent. We tried steak chinois, duck confit with gnocchi, and the scallops, all were delicate and delightful. The crowd pleaser lava cake was also amazing.

It was a wedding anniversary celebration dinner. They have ‘provide the best service mind and attitude’ after we sat down congratulatory champagne were offered. Great mood maker, thumbs up.

This is a cozy place that’s great for special occasions. The first floor is more dimly lit, quiet, and romantic, and I wish we would have specified that we wanted a seat there. Instead, we sat upstairs in a larger, and while not unpleasant, awkward room with a few other couples and one large group (8 or 10) who were boisterously celebrating something. They weren’t obnoxious, but with the way the room was laid out, we still weren’t able to escape from the constant sound of their conversation.

C&O is such a fantastic restaurant! Amazing for special occasions or just when you want to treat yourself, I’ve been twice in several years and both times were great. This time my fiancé and I were celebrating our engagement with family and it was incredible! We had the scallop and crab appetizers, the duck gnocchi, lamb, and a swordfish special, and absolutely everything was perfect and incredibly delicious. Our server was great and attentive and everything was fantastic.

We had a relaxing and delicious light meal at C & O. The crab cake was divine as was the tuna appetizer. Excellent and attentive service. We can’t wait to go back!

Rustic decor and somewhat small space but somehow adds to the ambiance. Food was incredible. The sirloin and deserts were standouts. Definitely expensive but you get what you pay for here. Validate parking is a nice bonus

Food was consistently delicious, service was very good, and the physical space is very pleasant. As you walk in there is a wood stove with good smelling wood. The natural heat stays with you and the smell of natural wood permeates all throughout. The only complaint would be some very uncomfortable chairs. Scallops were barely warm, cool inside. The bread that is given out is plain with plain butter. Just mixing some herbs into the butter would improve that experience.

The atmosphere is alone worth the experience! Loved the music, lighting and setting. The food was phenomenal. The Filet steak was the best I’ve ever had. Also, I really enjoyed the Rob Roy cocktail and chocolate bread pudding dessert. Was a fantastic dinner with my wife and great experience overall!

Favorite spot in Charlottesville. Dinner was superb, highly recommend the gnocchi, tagliatelle, and scallops. These are all starters but was the prefect amount for a party of two. Every detail was taken care of, service was attentive and quick to suggest restaurant favorites.

Dined there last night and had a magical experience. We met up with a friend from nearby city and we had our handicapped daughter with us as well. The management couldn’t have done anything better to welcome us. They made it so easy for us to enjoy ourselves. Now to the food. We had everything from beef tartare, crab, tuna for appetizers. Then NY strip, Flank steak and halibut. All prepared beautifully and so delicious. We are from NOVA where there are many 5star restaurants. This was an overall great experience! Thank you staff for making us feel like royalty.
