Amazing little cafe the valley of the Blue Ridge. A unique find for sure. Stopped in for an early lunch with my wife and son and were glad to have a table before they got a bit busier. There isn't much room but that adds so much of the charm for this quaint cafe and grocery.
The house salad was truly amazing and felt 100% more 'farm-to-table' than a lot of the fancier places claim to have. Smoked salmon was perfect as well. A perfect portion for lunch. All of the soups looked great and can't wait to try. The dressing is delicious and I wish I bought a bottle. Such a nice owner, highly recommend!
Oh my God - the watermelon gazpacho was absolutely flipping amazing! Sweet, tangy, herbal, and totally refreshing. I will be dreaming about it for a long time. My caprese panini needed maybe just a teeny bit more pesto, but the bread was crusty and yummy. My husband enjoyed his everything sandwich on the same crusty bread. Super friendly workers, cozy, well-stocked boutique. A lovely discovery.
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!!
I asked Basic Necessities to put together food for a virtual wine tasting for me. Their choices were excellent, and we had a fantastic time!
Really charming farmhouse style atmosphere, tons of wines, local cheeses, fresh desserts to choose from. Sunday fare was absolutely delicious.
I came here because I was too early to check into the Monroe Institute. It was 10:30 am. I drove and looked for eatery.
I saw this restaurant which is 6.3 miles from the Monroe Institute. It is lovely small romantic European theme. I was disappointed that they don’t serve breakfast because I saw french toast on the reviews. I ended up with quiches.
Staff is very kind and friendly and food is delicious!
Fantastic brunch! Live harp music. Server seemed a tad overwhelmed and was a bit brusk, but overall great experience. Look forward to coming back.
