corn Lacto Milk Stout, Left Hand, Colorado, 6%
Libby H.

I came here with a family member and we got lucky with timing during UVA graduation weekend in getting a table without a reservation. We sat outside. Our waiter Jason was awesome! We did the corn ribs for an appetizer and then I did the Wagyu sliders which were so delicious and it comes with crispy fries. Really nice vibes.

fresh chicharrones w/ a lot of guacamole

Full disclosure: I teach at Darden, where the Good Sport is located. I'm here a lot by happenstance, but I'd still say it's an excellent spot. At least in terms of square footage, it's equal parts indoor and outdoor. If the weather inspires you to hang outside, this is a good choice. But the thing that really inspired me to write this is the chicharrones: they serve incredible fresh (still crackling) chicharrones with a tremendous complement of guacamole- I highly recommend giving them a try. Fun fact: I just ran into our dean and he told me the chicharrones are on the menu since they were a favorite of Frank Sands, Sr. who helped build the hotel.

I dined here for a business lunch. Friendly, prompt service. Excellent shrimp Caesar salad. My colleagues enjoyed their food as well.

I visited this rooftop midweek this summer during my time college touring. I stayed at the Doyle…read moreHotel below the restaurant and had a phenomenal time watching the sun set against the blue mountains in the distance while we enjoyed the ambiance of upstairs. This gorgeous place for meeting and enjoying human connection is primed with enough space to hold a small school. There are high top tables for the onlookers, booths with built in fire pits for the social groups, multiple bars for the solemn types and an enough TVs and energy to uplift anyone! The view of the city in the summer was slow and sleepy by the time we got up there. So we paired the views with some of the best offerings I had in any city in Virginia. Take a look at the photos I captured for free drools and envy

The drink menu had anything from beer, wine to elevated classics. They also had a summertime tiki drink menu. Choices are great but it seemed to overwelm the bartending staff. It's either the staffing levels or the layout but this place can't handle a large crowd. Everywhere you looked was empty glasses. The staff we interacted with were friendly. It was our bartenders 1st full shift. Felt bad for the guy. Nice views in every direction. They just need help.

AMBIANCE We came in with reservation for a dinner with…read morefriends one evening. The place is easy enough to get to and we found parking luckily on the street. We strolled in, gave our name for reservation, and were swiftly seated in the back of the restaurant behind the bar area. It was a comfortable setting for dinner with most of the dining room in a pleasantly quiet a bit dark in a warm way but good enough for conversation and relaxing atmosphere for chilling out. FOOD We started with the housemade rosemary focaccia bruschetta ($14), and were recommended to order two servings for our table of four... so we did. About 10 minutes later, the appetizer arrived and the focaccia was a nice way to begin the meal, and was surpised it wasn't pre-cut but it was fine to cut it at the table with the cheese and share...it tasted good but was not especially remarkable for what you'd expect (forgot to take a photo) For our entrées, we ordered the grilled branzino ($39)...a bit overly oily for me, the fish of the night ($39), coastal tagliatelle ($28), and spaghetti pomodoro ($23). The dishes were solid portion and generally enjoyable. I suppose I expected more of a WOW that I didn't get from the menu options or the service...probably didn't help we were seated next to a large and very loud group in the back. Overall, the food was fine and satisfying, though nothing stood out enough to make the meal especially memorable. We skipped dessert. SERVICE Service was acceptable and kept the meal moving, but it did not add much to the overall experience... Overall, this was an okay Italian spot with a comfortable ambiance and a solid selection of dishes, but it did not quite deliver the exceptional food or memorable experience expected from a well-raved restaurant that others had hyped up. I personally wouldn't visit this spot again in the area for Italian food, knowing that there are spots nearby with warmer service and more interesting menu options....so this rating is relative to those spots.

Drop in to craft and enjoy food and drink - I love this concept! Pikasso Swig executes this well…read moreand offers an encouraging and low stress environment to get creative for both adults and kids. You drop in and can choose from a variety of crafts (painting, wood burning, glass etching, string art, knitting, wreath making, etc) and instructors walk around and guide you through your project. If you come in a group, each person does not have to do the same craft, allowing the opportunity to explore different interests. Our group did a combo of glass etching, wood burning, and string art. Craft pricing ranges from $20-40. The food and drink menu is reasonable, offering cheese/charcuterie plates, paninis, bruschetta, pastries, wine, beer, ciders, and non-alcoholic beverages. I enjoyed the Monet - a panini with strawberries, Nutella, and Brie; it was warm and melty with a mix of sweet and salty. I am definitely not an artist but enjoyed our afternoon at Pikasso Swig and am happy for this addition to 5th Street Station!

I went to this place with my 2 friends and 2 of us decided to split the glass tile coasters. When…read morethey brought out the tiles there was not many colors to pick from and the colors they did have, some of them only had 1 or 2 tiles left. The tiles were also not even so when placing the tiles on the coaster some were more raised than others. I'm not sure how a coaster is functional is it's not flat leveled. We ended up just not doing a craft because the other options just weren't worth the money. Our other friend did the flower pressed lamp and they didn't have very many flowers to pick from. We also considered doing the ceramic painting but all of the ceramics were very childish and looked like they were created by amateur.
