Restaurants Charlottesville (RCV) goes in depth to review restaurants and event venues in the small but increasingly popular town of Charlottesville and other venues in Albemarle County and the Shenandoah Valley. Touted by Cities Ranked and Rated as the best town to live in America back in 2004, Charlottesville has continued to get better and better. One of the biggest reasons for this small town, totalling around 100,000 residents while the University of Virginia is in session, is because it's unique mixture of widely varied unique, special restaurant offerings, and it's vibrant local music scene.
Charlottesville is often in the running for various "best town" or "best small or medium size town" in America competitions, and one of the biggest reasons is the broad array of options for food an entertainment. In fact there's almost a dizzying array of creative and high value establishments, which mesh with a strong social pulse driven largely by rich local music scene, which has spawned several nationally recognized acts, the most famous being the Dave Matthews Band.
Here's the rundown: RCV has a strict standard where we don't just visit a restaurant or local business and then pass judgement after a couple of short hours. After all it's easy for anyone to put their best foot forward for a couple of hours. And at the same time even the most consistent, high value businesses hit minor bumps in the road. So RCV has been conducting a still ongoing careful examination of the many established and new restaurants that have sprung up in Charlottesville for over two years before we launched. And we're here to share the inside scoop so folks will know not just where to go, but when and what they might enjoy most when they get there!
Fare and Spirits: Looking for a great Italian meal? Sal's Caffe Italia serves a mean lasagna, and Fellini's #9 has great food and events like Karayoke. Indian food? Try Himalyan Fusion on the downtown mall. Milan and Maharaja have tremendous Indian north on 29. Sushi? Ten is tasty and sheik. Sakura is a Charlottesville tradition. Looking for a great hole in the wall where everyone will soon know your name? There's The Box, Rapture, and Buddhist Biker Bar. Sports bars more your thing? Boylan Heights, Wild Wings and Rivals all have a fun scene.
The Music Scene: Charlottesville didn't just beget Dave Matthews Band, but it also started the careers of other hit bands like Earth to Andy, Everything and Fighting Gravity. John Paul Jones Arena's lineup for 2010 includes Taylor Swift, John Mayer, George Strait and Paramore. But it's the local music that so often makes dining and drinking in Charlottesville such a treat! Eating venues that specialize in promoting local acts and DJ music include Millers, where Dave Matthews used to tend bar before becoming an international mega-star, Escafe, X Lounge, and Blue Light Grill. - 24553
