This was some of the best food we’ve ever had. The special tonight was crawfish pot pie and it was incredible! The oysters were good, the shrimp po boys were amazing. Drinks were amazing. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff was amazing. I believe our server (and I believe front of house manager) was Tim and he had great recommendations and was very kind and helpful. We’re not from the area but when we come to town again next year we will stop by! Definitely recommend, it was really a 10/10, and though I loved that it wasn’t crowded I think the place should be packed.

Southern Crescent nails it with great Louisiana-style food served in a laid-back, loungey atmosphere. The mixed drinks and beer menu are on point — plenty of solid choices whether you’re craving something strong or just want to sip and chill.
Big bonus: it’s dog-friendly! Our server was incredibly kind and even made sure my friend’s pup was taken care of. That’s the kind of Southern hospitality you love to see.
Just a heads-up — there’s a lot of fried goodness on the menu. Gallbladders, proceed with caution. But honestly? Totally worth it. I’d come back in a heartbeat.

Southern Crescent is such a hidden gem in Charlottesville. The patio is the perfect place to sit and unwind, and the food and drinks were delicious. The oysters were especially good! It’s an easy, laid-back spot for a great date night.

Went for a drink on a Saturday night before dinner. We both had hurricanes, they were very good and we got happy hour pricing! We sat inside at the bar because it was chilly and the vibe is top notch.
Went back and had full dinner, drinks and dessert this time. Great drinks and really nice atmosphere when the weather is perfect to sit outside. The food is also very good. The beignet was very dense and was not exactly like the ones you get in New Orleans but it was still amazing as a dessert on its own without the comparison.

Wow!!! We lived in nola 10 years and this is incredibly authentic and delicious New Orleans food! The oysters Rockefeller, crawfish pot pie, and Sazerac were all incredible!! Great service and a very authentic and fun vibe with a beautiful soundtrack. Highly commend! Ian is an incredible chef!

Overall, the experience has good and bad. They have really good cocktail. I got the lost lake. It is a mixture of pineapple, passionfruit, and lime. Low-key best ever. The service was also nice. The food was OK mediocre and pricey. The gumbo mug was $10 even though it was tiny. My friend got there po boy sandwich, they only got two hush puppies as the side???

Southern Crescent is a fun and underrated spot in Belmont! They have a great happy hour and so many fun spots to sit and enjoy your drinks and food (cozy inside, patio, backyard with fire pits). We love the HH oysters as well! Friendly and attentive service makes this a must-stop spot in Cville.

It’s Friday night should have known better than to come here. The place was not packed. All the other restaurants adjacent to this one were packed with customers. Aesthetically, at first the vibe is old creole French Louisiana, buts is a run down old house. We sat outside, the metal furniture is rusted; doesn’t work when you wearing light colored pants. We didn’t see any rats, like other customers mentioned. The service was lacking big time. No enthusiasm to ask if you want a refill. Staff member was drinking as we could smell alcohol on them and could see them drinking behind the bar. We were not given napkins, had to ask. No plates to eat appetizers on. No utensils. Had to wave them down to get the entree order and then the check. There was only 3 couples there so not crowded. Water in carafe was luke warm. The table was sticky, so sticky my phone stuck to it… Yuck! The menu is lacking items from the online menu. We ordered the gator bites, not good. It was pureed ingredients. Don’t know if there was actual meat in them. Ordered the oyster and shrimp po boy. It came with 2 tiny hush puppies. See photo. Oysters tasted like gritty mud. The batter could not mask it. French bread was soft which was the only plus, but the entire sandwich fell apart. As many reviews say the taste is bland and that is very true. No spice, no taste. Definitely not Creole inspired cuisine.

This New Orleans style restaurant is a favorite all around! Great food, amazing drinks, and the perfect relaxed atmosphere. We’ll always recommend Southern Crescent to our friends, family, and guests of Guesthouses!

Wonderful setting and atmosphere!
Very good drinks.
Food needed more BAM as ours was bland. Catfish poboy was ok, good batter on fresh catfish. Remoulade was bland. Came with a few homemade chips.
Hush puppies were good.
Jambalaya was ok, lacking depth of flavor and spice.
Odd service and ordering setup, you have to go to the counter and place your order and they hold your credit card. This leaves new customers waiting in line with those trying to pay to leave. Plus if you want another drink or more food, get in line.
