Shadwells - Charlottesville

I went here with my best friend for restaurant week and the food was amazing! I had the fried oysters (she had the crabcake), we both had the green and cereal salad, and the Steak-Fritas...soo...darn...good! I'm looking forward to going back!

We sat immediately, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was great! The Beignets were hot and tasty, the French toast had fresh berries and were very big and fluffy, and the eggs Benedict were a favorite - we chose the crab cake instead of ham and I would recommend it! All in all, one of the best breakfasts I had in a while!

We had a real pleasure at Shadwell's restaurant. The cast rolls were very light and fluffy and spicy. I had the catch of the day (Fried Catfish, with Rice Pilaf, and Corn), which was very delicious. The Pecan Crusted Chicken was ok after my middle child who has a highly developed palate. She said the potatoes and broccoli were on the spot. The steak salad was very good. The staff was very friendly and service was fast. We arrived at an hour before closing because of the trip and did not feel rushed. I would recommend eating here.

We went to this restaurant because it's right at the Kluge-Ruhe Museum, and we were glad we made it! The steak is really good (and I am fussy about restaurant steak), and although I found the blue cheese butter a little overwhelming, it was simply enough to move to the side. The service was fast and very friendly. Do NOT fit the she-crab soup; my daughter finished her own bowl!

Our dinner reservation for about 25 people during UVA's graduation weekend was mostly well managed. A few people had to sit outside of the reserved room due to the occupancy limit, but our experience was overall great. The meals were nicely presented, and I enjoyed my crab cakes entree which was served with rice, coleslaw and some vegetables.
