    Fig and ricotta bread pudding. This was genius and delicious. Wish it came with ice cream though.

    A quick stop to try it this place and I was not disappointed. The calm ambience was exactly what was needed to end the evening. Will definitely come back to try the main dishes.

    The phone to call up was broken when we arrived. We made reservations saying it was a birthday. No one mentioned the birthday or asked why we were there. Ordered a coffee. They didn't have any coffee even though it's listen on the menu. We ordered off the restaurant week menu. They did have gluten free bread. That was a nice touch. I don't often get bread with dinner. Nothing special about the Caesar salad. My entree wasn't good. The steak was cold and had a weird flavor. The shining star was the banana pudding for dessert. It was delicious! And even came with a gluten free cookie. My dining partner had a pasta dish and whiskey cake that he enjoyed. And the special restaurant week cocktail he also said was delicious. Overall, we spent $150 on a meal I didn't eat. Was expensive banana pudding. I might go back for happy hour. But it was just too expensive for mediocre food when there are other options in the burg.

    Despite not having reservations, we walked up to the speakeasy a week or so after it opened and were greeted by a gentleman at the door. He called upstairs, where the speakeasy is located, and asked if there was a table for a walk-in party of two. Lucky for us, they did. They seated us in the back room, which had probably six tables or so. The main room has more tables and also hosts the bar. Overall, beautiful decor: brick, exposed beams, etc. It has a nice ambiance. Our server was very pleasant, though it took her a bit to greet us and bring us menus. While we decided on food and drinks, our server brought a bowl of kettle popcorn, which was delicious. The food menu was rather small, but perhaps this was because they had only opened about a week prior and were testing it out (just a guess). We ordered the Pink Hummus (pink due to it containing beets) and Toum appetizer. The toum--first time trying it--was more like a sauce... great for dipping! It was definitely garlic and lemon forward. The raw veggies went great with the hummus, while the pita was best for the toum. My dinner companion and I shared the lemon garlic chicken skewers. They were tasty and served on a bed of tricolor couscous. Tasty but the price ($20) was a bit steep for two skewers, and they charge you extra if you order more of the sauce it comes with, which was probably the equivalent of a tablespoon. Overall, nice restaurant with an intimate feel. I'd visit again for a drink and appetizer but not necessarily for dinner since the entree menu was limited when I visited. Hoping they've expanded the menu next time I visit. EDITED to reflect four stars, which is what I originally intended to rate River's End. Thanks to the owner for pointing this out.

    If you're in the area, go here. You will not be disappointed…read more Went here on a date night and everything was fantastic. It has a great rustic feel with a multi-level bar back and high and low seating. Our waiter, James, was great. It was our first time and we made it right before happy hour ended and grabbed loaded tots and drinks. The tots were amazing and the drinks were fantastic. My wife grabbed the Newton Cosmo, which, while delicious, was too sweet for her, and James took it back and got her a mint julep instead for no charge. For dinner she had the Caesar wedge salad with a rare steak, I had the Ramsay Bolton burger. Both delicious and portions are incredible, especially for the price. Also asked James for a bourbon flight after dinner. He listened to what bourbons I had tried before and promptly recommended a flight and how to go about tasting it. We will definitely return and recommend Rebellion to all of our friends.

    Rebellion Bourbon Bar & Kitchen is a great place to sit for a drink and a meal!!…read more The food is exceptional, haven't had anything I didn't like off their menu. The wings are fabulous any sauce you choose will be great. The setting is awesome with some 80's music I. The background and live music on Thursday, tonight was Ramona Ramirez (she was fabulous). The bar tenders and servers are always friendly and provide excellent service. Tonight my bartenders were Annie and Bella, two of the best in Old Town Fredericksburg! If you are in the Fredericksburg area, I highly recommend you swing in and give them a try!!

We started with the bread assortment, which included flatbreads, rolls, dipping sauces, and butter. We also tried the fried artichoke leaves--they were perfectly crisp, tender, and delicious. For my entrée, I had the branzino with crispy skin, and it was cooked to perfection. The combination of lemon, herbs, and capers worked beautifully, and the fish practically melted in your mouth. They just opened and are still working out a few of the inevitable kinks that come with a new restaurant, but when it comes to the food, they absolutely hit the bullseye. Definitely worth checking out.

I had just come from a hair appointment down the street and on my way back to my car, I noticed Sangria advertised on the mini sandwich board outside. I'm a HUGE fan of a glass of fruity Sangria on a hot day! The fact that it was Happy Hour with $5 glasses made it even easier to draw me inside!! When I explained this was my first visit, they explained the Curio concept, the various areas for sitting, sipping and gathering as well as the Curio Card process. They even had a small but really intriguing menu of various snacks, from charcuterie to flatbread and even dessert. The menu changes a couple times a month, making me want to plan more visits! The staff offered me sips of each so I could decide on a Sangria flavor. Despite not being a Moscato fan, I chose the Moscato Mule Sangria. It was light, refreshing and had the Moscow Mule flavors with the added sweetness of Moscato wine. I wandered into the cellar to explore more wine offerings and wound up running into fellow educators and their friends I had never met. We chatted like we were catching up and laughed about shared birthdays and teaching!! They invited me to hang with them, but I had to get home for Dog Mom Duty. We exchanged numbers so we could plan another "run-in" downtown SOON! If you haven't visited Curio, I HIGHLY recommend it. Bring a friend, or plan on making a few. Next time, I'll be ordering food with my wine and lingering much longer! Thanks for a great end to my week. See y'all soon! Cheers!

    My wife and I decided a long weekend trip out of town was in order, so we travelled to…read moreFredericksburg, VA for some quiet down time along the Rappahannock River. For dinner on our first night, we opted to give Brocks Riverside Grill a try and we were not disappointed. Our waitress, Mckewen, was super friendly and helpful with both ordering selections when both of us have Shellfish allergies and later pairing our entrees with wines. For starters, we ordered drinks. My wife ordered a glass of Chardonnay and I ordered a Spicy Margarita. We shared an appetizer of Crispy Brussel Sprouts and bread rolls that came with a delicious oil and garlic dipping sauce. The main dining area was sparsely attended by other dinner patrons, with large windows to one side overlooking the river. For entrees, my wife selected the Roasted Beet Poke Bowl which she described as "light and refreshing" and I ordered the 16-oz Marinated Ribeye, cooked to Medium along with sides of mixed Seasonal Vegetables (sliced Zucchini & Squash) and Redskins Mashed potatoes with an order of mushrooms to go on top of the steak. I also ordered a nice glass of Merlot wine to go with it. The portions were generous, and the entrees perfectly prepared, and very tasty. If there was any fault at all, it was that the ribeye was a little too laden with a ring of fat rather than simply marbled, but otherwise no complaints. For dessert, I ordered a slice of Key Lime Pie and my wife ordered Crème Brûlée. Both were appealing to the eye and each bite beckoned us to take another bite. It is certainly someplace we would go to again.

We sat in the section that was open to the outdoor elements and got a seat right by the wall overlooking the river. Quick to get seated and host was very nice. We had a wonderful waitress. She was friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly and it all tasted good. The spinach and crab dip was a bit salty for the pita but the dip was good. We both got a salmon salad and it was a nice large portion that was full of flavor. Would definitely stop back. Might need to get the fried chicken sandwich next time!
