    Experience was Outstanding. They have a great brunch on the weekends but reservations are required., Great menu selection. Lots of healthy choices. The staff is always very efficient, pleasant and well attentive. The restaurant is beautiful. A historic house next to a newer building which is the entrance. It is beautiful and cozy.

    WOW! 10/10 everything do not look for brunch in Charlottesville anywhere else until you've tried this spot. Parking - a little difficult because it's in downtown next to the hospital but there is a guest lot behind the restaurant Waiting time - wasn't bad at all... we waited for about 20 minutes in the front area but we were able to order a mimosa and stand while we waited so time flew by Bayou bowl - Cajun heat (not super spicy but well seasoned) and elements of southern comfort made this dish a hit with my hubby Smoked salmon Bennie - WOW, let me start off by saying how much I hate trying to cut into an English muffin for a normal Benedict haha... they replaced the muffin with their own recipe called a "grit cake" and this is a life changer. Grit cake was lightly fried, gooey but maintained its overall shape, and seasoned to perfection. Salmon was perfect. Egg was poached to perfection. Hollandaise was most likely made by angels. Even the roasted mixed veggies were fantastic... this was worth ordering every time. Service was amazing and I believe it was a young college student so it was nice to have that around UVA. Will definitely be back!!!!

    Southern Benedict Brunch
    Melody Y.

    Friendly staff, good food, great outdoor patio seating. If you're lucky to get seated on the outdoor porch area, the view is pretty. Breve coffee: pretty, creamy, yummy. Can't go wrong with either the farm bell Benedict or the southern Benedict. The Benedict eggs weren't runny but more of like a soft boiled egg. I would come back!

    Brunch in Charlottesville is always a delight, and Farm Bell Kitchen fits the mood quite well. If you're able to sit outside I highly recommend it, they have a covered canopy around back with flowers and plenty of space and seating. Brunch was great, my brunch burrito with brisket hitting the spot between salty and savory exactly as ordered. The drinks were pretty if not the most flavorful. Our server was very kind and attentive, just be ready for competing with others if it's pretty busy.

    Bayou Bowl
    Magda M.

    Farm Bell Kitchen is an award-winning Southern brunch spot in Charlottesville, set inside a beautifully restored house. We ordered the Bayou Bowl, packed with shrimp, sausage, local grits, cheese, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, peppers, and onions and the house brioche French toast topped with bourbon-glazed Bananas Foster. We also had lattes. Everything was tasty, and the service was quick and friendly. A great place for a relaxed and satisfying brunch.

    Chicken & waffles

    Great spot to grab brunch. Chicken and waffles are awesome and everyone got loaded Bloody Marys. I'd recommend making a reservation beforehand.

    Breakfast tacos

    Cute little place on main street in Charlottesville. Has a good menu and my family enjoyed the eggs Benedict. I had the two breakfast tacos which were not very tasty. The hash browns were cold and the tacos bland. They provided and watered down avocado guacamole that was obviously sitting in the refrigerator for a long time and settled. I know these places need to turn customers and food quickly but the quality and attention to detail wasn't there on my meal. My family expressed great delight in their meals and the coffee they had. So I recommend trying this place because you may find "the meal" of the week and I hope you do. Nice wait staff and reception.

    AMMMMMAZING FOOD! Friendly To our pup! Service was on point! We got the avocado bake And southern Benedict and a bloody Mary! YUM! Can't wait to go back

    Pancakes with strawberries and white chocolate
    Alison M.

    Yum! Parking is a real problem - especially on weekends around brunch. Like, almost so bad you don't want to come back... Inside is cute and we had a reservation so were immediately sat and greeted by our server, Paige. She was great and very friendly. I chose a mixed juice (no alcohol) and it was smaller than I expected - served in a very short glass for $5 (not highball like the water). Hubs got black coffee and it was fresh and delicious. They have a great menu and I love the play on words and TV and other themes like "Game of Scones" for their four scone option. In the end, my husband ordered the Biscuit board which came with ham, mustard, gravy, some jam and butter with four biscuits so he could construct whatever he wanted and I went with the white chocolate strawberry pancakes. The food was out very quickly - probably within 5 minutes honestly. I went to the bathroom and it was out by the time I came back. My pancakes were wonderful - huge portion of three fluffy buttermilk pancakes - and the texture and flavor were top notch. I devoured them. Would def. come back but the parking makes me cringe!

    Fried Chicken & Waffle
    Miss K.

    Nice place, great service. The avocado with egg was interesting. Egg yolk only, baked into the avocado, the avocado was still slightly cool. Chix and waffle were delicious. Also, I asked for jelly and it was so good! Homemade peach, not a typical jelly. Just fresh peaches and some sugar.

    I love old Victorian houses. I was very disappointed by the food and the service. Our waiter was non existent. I had to ask a bus guy for water. He said he was not allowed but he gave me water anyways. The food is way over priced. I realize C'Ville is very expensive. However, the portion to price is absurd. This feels like another weird over priced place that isn't worth it. I paid $18 for this small bowl. The meat was super dry and chewy. It tasted like pot roast so with an egg it made it weird. I would never pay such a price for such a dish had I known. I paid for my friend so with tax and tip I paid over $50 for these two small bowls. With having to pay to park and walk several blocks from to get here is not worth it. I had to pay $6 to park. So I paid $60 for this....disappointment. I wanted to like this place but no.

    Avocado Egg Bake Brunch (VEG)
    Libby H.

    Super cute restaurant that's in an old house. I came here with friends Monday morning for breakfast. I know they get very busy on the weekends and reservations are recommended, so I made a reservations for us just in case but it wasn't too busy. Our server was Mason very friendly and attentive! I got the iced mocha with almond milk and for food the avocado baked egg which came with hashbrowns, toasted baguette, and tomato chutney and then I added bacon. It was delicious!! Also their items are reasonably priced too. Recommend coming here for breakfast!

    Pork Belly Biscuit Sliders
    Camryn K.

    Overall, the food here was solid. But I liked some of the dishes better than others. We ordered the Baked Brie, Banana Beignets, Pork Belly Biscuit Sliders, and the Farm Bell Benedict. I loved the Baked Brie, it was delicious. The compote went really well with the brie. I also really liked the Benedict. The bread was nice and chewy, and the hollandaise sauce was tasty. The meat was also very good. The beignets were just okay. They were more like really dense donuts. I don't think they were light enough in texture to be considered a beignet. Although, I thought it tasted good. The pork belly dish was tasty, but the biscuit was on the drier side, and it could have used a sauce of some sort. The restaurant itself is very cute, and it feels very homey. The service was great as well. I would definitely come back again in the future.

    Just the best! Brunch as it should be! The Cajun slant works so well. There is nothing you can go wrong with on the menu.

    Do they have on grounds parking?

    I don't believe so. Street parking or a parking garage within walking distance at the Corner

    Do they take reservations?

    Yess!

    Do they have anything gluten free?

    They have salads and items you can get without bread. There isn't a gluten free bun/bread from what I remember.

    Fantastic experience. Wife and I did a 2 night stay and enjoyed every minute. Although there are…read moreseveral buildings, we stayed in the "main house" which was so convenient. The bar, front desk, valet and pool just steps away. The staff were like family and accommodations very comfortable. Many thanks to Antonio at the desk/valet, Tyler the bar manager and Tyler Cupec Director of Rooms for making it a trip worthy of a not only a 5 star review but also a future return as well.

    Oakhurst Inn is a clean, orderly, well stocked vintage inn in Charlottesville. My room was clean,…read morecomfortable, with nice furniture and the bathroom in excellent shape. Quality linens. Squeaky clean hardwood floors all over. Tasteful old furniture. Every staff member I spoke to was polite, courteous, and happy to help. The self serve stations for hot coffee, tea, and cold water was a convenient resource outside of the door. This inn appears to be made of several former homes that were turned into a campus of buildings making the Oakhurst Inn. It's not a single building. The small lawn in the center of the complex has benches, hammock, and a fireplace that seems welcoming and nice, but I wasn't aware of them until I left. There were a few problems during my stay. The inn requires guests to use valet parking which is $40 per night, not disclosed before my stay, and often required a long wait for the valet to return. This makes it hard to retrieve anything you need from your car. The front desk staff are often missing from the front desk - I had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come back and check me in on arrival. Likewise, the bartender is often away from station and you might wait 10 or 30 minutes for the bartender to return. There is no mini fridge or microwave in the hotel rooms. The pool area was extremely dark at night, making it tricky or dangerous to navigate. The pool water was lukewarm, not warm at all. The sauna was out of order and the doorway was small and obscured by chairs. Not accessible and difficult to find. This inn has no gym. The lobby is very small and has no seating for guests or places to hang their luggage, although the nearby lounge has a few leather couches and a fireplace that doesn't appear to be working. Not the most welcoming or convenient. Overall I don't think it's worth the hefty price tag and would stay elsewhere when I return to Charlottesville.
