To begin, my wife and I didn’t know what to expect with this gem along the downtown pedestrian mall in Charlottesville, but it was an intriguing concept given the counter service for ordering. We’re so glad we made the decision. They were quite attentive in the sense of bringing food and drinks out right away, refilling out water carafe and engaging in conversation when that was appropriate. As you can see from my photos, there’s a bit of a store concept also here with unique food and beverage related products. Because we hadn’t been here before, we did opt for reservations. It is worth noting that dining at the bar in the back was another option. We both had european style sandwiches which were quite delicious and on the lighter side, which is what we wanted this particular evening. That also helped to keep the cost down. The cocktail I had was lovely as well. This was a great example of being rewarded for being open to a new experience, which is what travel is (or should be) ultimately all about. Check it out!

I’ve walked by this restaurant hundreds of times and thankfully finally stopped in last Friday for lunch. I had the avocado toast with garlic spread which was delicious. They have an excellent selection of wine but as it was lunch I didn’t get to try any this time. They also have an wonderful assortment of cheeses. Extremely vegetarian and great service!!

The service was stellar, the cheese selection is great, the wine/cocktail options are decent, but I think the food is largely 3/5 stars. The pickle plate is lackluster and they sell a bland salsa under the name of “a tomato and onion gazpacho”. That said, the brie, fig, and speck crostini was good. I think we just ordered the wrong things – play it safe and come for the cheese/wine.

Had a long day of sightseeing and walking. Wanted to relax with a good glass of wine and light/small plate. stopped here and sat at the bar. The server/bartender did not know about the wine(s). I asked for a DRY white wine. After consulting with other I was given a (quarter glass) ACIDIC SWEET medicinal wine.

Quaint, Cozy, friendly atmosphere, helpful staff. Charcuterie board was appropriately priced, and wine was delectable. Good place for a quick date or to grab a quick bite on the evening stroll of downtown.

A beautiful space with kind service! We stopped in for their traditional cake and a macaron. They only serve french press coffee but it was yummy. Love that you can serve yourself with the carafe of water!

Really nice little spot on the downtown mall. They do a happy hour from 3-6pm where there are several wines by the glass for about $6. I tried some of the cheeses, and they were great.

Staff at Tilmans are knowledgeable and friendly. The food is excellent with fancy sandwiches but equipped with classics too like macaroni and cheese – but upscale. I got a delicious sandwich of the day with ham, a fancy salami, provolone, L&T, and a spicy aioli. PLUS the spring Asparagus soup was so good I ordered a bowl to go for dinner later! P.S. they also have a bar. Wine, beer, cocktails. And its a place to stock your picnic basket with provisions and cheeses and bread.

Very happy with this sister restaurant to Tonic. This is the original, I am told, and you can see “creative” is a theme. I had pimento cheese and a simple salad. Also had a Montenegro Amaro…. Another key sign for me that a restaurant is MY kind.
