   We celebrated a special occasion at 1799 and were not disappointed. The food was delicious and artistically presented. I would especially recommend the haddock. While they had a large event going on in the wine cellar, service never skipped a beat. Great experience and we will be back!

   We may have been a little loud for the other diners…I may ask for a spot away from other next time if possible. It was an outstanding evening, as usual!

   It was unbearably hot on the outside porch. I was told that it would be cool as there were fans. The 2 fans that were on were stationary and pointed away from our table! If they were at least oscillating, that would’ve helped a great deal. Our waitress was very good and we all enjoyed her. The food was also very good but the drinks were overpriced. $24 for a Manhattan using only Buffalo Trace bourbon was beyond expensive. The $150 bottle of white wine we ordered was NOT PROPERLY CHILLED! That’s a very basic expectation for a white wine and especially one at that price point. We’ve always enjoyed the Clifton Inn, but haven’t been since before Covid. Overall this once beautiful place looked quite rundown. That was very disappointing to see.

   We dined outdoors on the back deck overlooking the garden. The setting was beautiful and the food and service were excellent. We took advantage of restaurant week and ordered from the prix fixe menu. The halibut was delicious. The wine pairings were very good also. I am so glad we chose Clifton and look forward to a return visit!

   My Mom and I ate at 1799 for Charlottesville Restaurant Week and it was incredible!! The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully plated. The location is absolutely stunning. The Library Room where we were seated was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Everything from the plates to the table decor was perfectly curated which made it the absolute most lovely experience! Highly recommend for date night, girls dinner, wedding events etc...!!

   My husband and I were visiting Charlottesville, and decided to have a fancier dinner at 1799, especially because it was restaurant week. There was no one at the front door when we walked in, and it was very unclear where the host would greet us. After we were seated, we waited 15min without anyone coming to our table, even though people seated after us were waited on, even ordering food. We had to find the manager, who was very apologetic and attempted to improve the evening for us, but the service continued to be lacking throughout the night. The food was creative and interesting, but we were not overly impressed, especially for the prices. We were very disappointed with our experience, and we will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone.

    While the ambiance and service were wonderful, we were absolutely beyond disappointed with our meal last night. The best parts of the meal were mediocre, and the worst parts (including my entree) were inedible. Bone marrow and escargot were oversalted. Escargot was overcooked and rubbery. My prawns and speck pasta dish was inedible and I had to ask for a replacement entree. I thought the flavors were abhorrent. The pasta dish in broth was odd to say the least. Pork chop was mediocre, cooked well, but nothing extraordinary about it. We won't be back to eat here unless and until we hear that either the chef has been replaced or that the food is delicious again. This was my 37th birthday dinner and I was absolutely disappointed at an evening of bad food (and for $200!). Fine dining is our thing and as beautiful as The Clifton is, 1799 is not somewhere I'll be back or will recommend. Would be happy to hear from a manager or chef.

    Just not the same as when I was last there. Nothing is period correct anymore, and it’s too “hip” for what this restaurant once was.

    It was a nice evening with good food and good service, our only complaint is that the tables were so close together that it was hard to have a conversation. Just make sure you ask for a table that is not crowded into a small room.

    Exquisitely prepared modern French-American food in a beautiful, peaceful setting. We opted for outdoors because my spouse is immunocompromised, and the view was lovely and it was well spaced. Service was friendly, gracious, and attentive. Some of the dishes reminded me of some amazing Michelin starred meals we had in Paris last year. Cocktails were lovely and well balanced. A bit on the expensive side, but worth it IMO.

    You pay one price (for us, $90 pp) which includes an appetizer, entre and dessert. It does not include a beverage. The pear/arugula salad, trout wrapped in pastry medallions and the blueberry bread pudding dessert were outstanding.

    We went to 1799 to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary…and could not be more pleased. Both of our entrees (trout for my wife, salmon for me) were wonderful (I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed such a delicious piece of salmon); and the service was outstanding. My only caution — the wine list tends to the expensive side…but this should be expected, given everything else. In short, 1799 is our new “go to” place for special occasions…and we won’t wait to our 45th anniversary to return!

    We had very high expectations given the reviews and the chef at this restaurant - but honestly weren’t that impressed. A server will make or break an experience and ours just wasn’t of the level you would expect at such a place. The food was very good but not over the top great. We ate at other places while in the area and had much better experiences elsewhere.

    The food and mixed drink as well as the wine list are excellent. The wait staff did its best but were understaffed. Upon arrival, my husband and I had to search for someone to seat us. We also found parking inconvenient. Both my husband and I are elderly and the walk from the parking area is not paved and rather circuitous unless you choose to walk through the unpaved grass in the front of the building. I was told, at the end of my meal that, in the future if I would like to, I could park in the front of the building as long as I did not impede traffic.

    Food was a great disappointment. Only the meat dishes were the quality expected. Service was excellent and they tried to help correct errors coming from the kitchen but the meal was not what we would expect from the Clifton. Bland food, risotto not even prepared (it was plain with nothing in it) and quality not up to prior standards.

    A very pleasant meal. The reasonably-priced prix fixe menu provided many creative/interesting courses. The marrow and escargot was enjoyably decadent, while the carrots and foil gras shavings really worked well together. Salmon and NY strip mains were both generous and well-prepared. And the desserts were exquisite. A truly enjoyable evening.

    Very well prepared and imagined food in a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Some unexpected ingredients and combinations--(mostly) a pleasant surprise. We were there on a rainy Wednesday evening-- it likely would be considerably busier (and noisier) with one of the frequent wedding parties staying at the inn. But it is difficult to say with Covid fears and restrictions still working there way through the lodging and dining industry. Serving staff was courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient. Cocktails were well prepared.

    The steak was over cooked (medium well when I requested medium rare) and the donut was slightly overproofed, but the oysters and wine recommendation were amazing. I wonder if I just chose the wrong items, as I saw another party’s salmon come out and it looked really good.

    Each of the entrees we ordered was poorly prepared. The tortellini had no flavor, the pork chop was undercooked as was the bacon on top of the salmon. The wait staff did not bring knives to 2 of our party of 4 when the entrees were served. We had to pinch these from a neighboring table. The wine list, on the other hand, was outstanding.
