Ratings were good for this modest restaurant. We found the service slow, food delivered was cold. I had encrusted fish. I thought my tv dinners were an improvement. My wife and daughter's food was so so. I would not visit this "restaurant" again. More

This was my 3rd visit to this restaurant and both the service and the food is consistently good. I particularly appreciate the excellent bread (combo of onion roll and cornbread) and having vegetarian choices. More

We have thought of going here several times, but it looked like the place would have no atmosphere. Well, we were right. It is pretty dark inside...alot of dark red/blue. The restaurant is split into 2 large rooms and then the bar area. Did not understand what the posters/prints were suppose to be on the walls. The whole place made... More

I was very happy with the service and selection but the steak and crabcake combo put it over the top. I grew up in the VA & MD bay area and had been away for 30 years, every time I go back I dream of crabcakes but the dream is never fullfilled until now. More

I thought I'd put in my 2 cents. This restaurant is great. Low key environment, resonable prices, amazing food. It deserves all the good reviews it's gotten. The kids can crayon on the white paper on the table while the dults play the game cards provided. We all love this place! More

Arriving but just a few minutes before breakfast ended, the owner very graciously allowed us to have breakfast anyways. There were 5 of us. We all had something different and we all enjoyed it very much. Delicious!! Thank you! More

On Sunday, May 20th, 2012 my family and I arrived at this restaurant (without a reservation) around 1:00 p.m. The receptionist informed us that it would be 25 minutes before a table for six (four adults and two children) would be ready. Thirty-five minutes later we were seated. We ordered and were served after another half-hour wait. It was after... More

My wife and I stopped for an early dinner upon our arrival in Charlottesville. The service was good. The food was excellent. My wife ordered the roasted beet salad saying that it was very good. I had the crab cake and it was excellent. Portions were adequate but not large. Would definitely dine here again. More

We ate dinner at Food For Thought this evening because of the good reviews we saw on Trip Advisor. It was fantastic! The variety on the menu was great, the service was excellent, and the food was incredible. We were not disappointed. We will be in Williamsburg on vacation for the rest of the week and will be back here... More
