Fine dining in a gorgeous, light-filled room overlooking the golf course. Imaginative menu with locally-sourced products. Prices comparable to similar places in our area. Service was spotty at dinner. Staff apparently told to address patrons by name, but ours got the wrong name. The party next to ours ordered cocktails which didn't arrive until after their first course.

This restaurant used to be one of the best in the Charlottesville area, but our recent experience was not so good. Despite an almost empty restaurant, the service was terrible. The waiter completely forgot to bring the sides we had ordered, the service in general was very slow, it took forever to get our desserts. The entrees were very small,... More

Fossett's is directly comparable with 5 star dining across the world. We had the top fine dining dining experience for this area of Virginia. Compliments to the chef's for all the courses of our meal; he does not need me to say so, but will anyway, excellent quality, preparation, and presentation. We each had different selections from the menu; all... More

Beautiful room centered over the golf course with food and service to match. We have breakfast each day here, oh my. And, dinner was well presented and had a balanced menu and wine list.

This dining room of the Keswick Hall hotel has a gorgeous view over the property and the food is excellent. A white linen tablecloth restaurant, with formal atmosphere, the kitchen is quite creative and the results are quite good.

We ate here for dinner and breakfast while staying at Keswick. We had reservations for dinner, but when we arrived the hostess asked if we wouldn't mind waiting 10-15 minutes in the bar as our table was ready, but she wanted to be sure that our server would be able to give us proper attention. She offered to buy us... More

Keswick Hall is a beautiful property to enjoy in any season. We have eaten at Fossett's during the spring and summer but never during the winter season until this year; it is just as pleasant in the winter season. Instead of enjoying the patio and the rolling hills, you enjoy the cozy fire place and clubby feeling of the interiors... More

We had a wonderful experience at Fossett's Restaurant this evening. Our reservation was for 8:30pm (You need to make a reservation, it was very busy.) We arrived a few minutes early and were seated right away. (They even took my coat and coat checked it for me!) We researched this restaurant prior to coming, so we were aware of the... More
