C & O Restaurant

From the beginning the C&O has enjoyed the high praise of some of the nations most notable food writers and critics.  The C&O staff is peppered with enthusiastic crafts people who are passionate about their work.  The kitchen crew works tirelessly cultivating relationships with local farmers, cheese makers, vintners and ranchers bringing you the best of what’s around. The wait staff is knowledgeable, attentive but unobtrusive with a keen eye towards warmth and hospitality. The C&O is a multifaceted restaurant with six different areas for dining.  (Not all of the spaces lend themselves to reservations, some tables are held for our walk in customers) The upstairs Dining Room is surrounded by windows that look out over the C&O Rail yard and former passenger station.  During the depression the room was used as a bunk house for the men who worked on the railroad between Charlottesville and Clifton Forge.  The atmosphere is more formal, quiet and private than the bistro. It can be used for rehearsal dinners and business gatherings.  It is equipped with a power point presentation infrastructure. Reservations are a good idea.
