What a special eatery! The area is sooo quaint. I ordered a biscuit board although I couldn’t eat any of the spreads I enjoyed the butter and biscuit as a starter (I asked before ordered so I was not surprised my companions enjoyed them)#allergy girl. The biscuits are dense and a good starter. I had a burger on their homemade bun served with fries. The burger was delicious. Prepared as ordered and served with fries (ask for crispy- mine were rather limp but nevertheless delicious). There is a room called “The Study” that requires reservations and is spectacular. A different menu and quite cozy with couches, chairs and lavish decor. I recommend reservations for dinner at Amber Ox.

Oak smoked wings and the cured ham sampler appetizers were enough to feed two but luckily the entree (Haashroom ravilio)we ordered wasn’t terribly big to finish. My husband said the cured ham sampler was “the best thing that’s happened to him in awhile.” We enjoyed all the different combinations you could make the crackers and pimento cheese was our favorite. The pickles were delicious too! Highly recommended trying to wings! It’s been awhile that we’ve been to a restaurant where we loved everything we got. We greatly appreciate farm to table restaurants that source their food locally from high quality places it makes a huge difference in the food. Shout out to our server Anthony he was wonderful & helpful with the menu.

Disappointing for vegetarians and glucose-coma inducing.
The menu only features 2-3 vegetarian options and they are either a sad salad or something carb-heavy with no protein (pasta or bread). No vegan options exist beyond a salad with cheese removed. And every option, no matter how savory, has a sweet element to it (e.g., a salad dressing with honey, agave in the soup, honey in the cheese).
I tried the biscuits and the mushroom toast. The biscuits were excellent–buttery and rich in the best possible way. They came with jams, butter, and a sweetened whipped ricotta. This “starter” felt more like a dessert than anything else, but it was certainly enjoyable, if a bit heart stopping (you get 5 full-size warm biscuits). I also tried the mushroom toast per the recommendation from my waiter and found it very disappointing. Their sourdough has the texture of a cheap, white sponge bread and for $21 came topped with a sparse few mushrooms over a thin smear of sweetened ricotta. So not only was the dish unpleasantly sweet, it also felt like they were cost cutting on execution and not delivering something remotely worth the price or lengthy menu description. After starters and mains with so much sugar, we did not have it in us to even look at a dessert menu.
The place itself is nice and service was fantastic–warm and friendly in the best possible way. But I will definitely not be returning.

Food was great! The food is very fresh and cooked from scratch. The lavash crackers were delish! It was an app with a crock of pimento cheese (which I dont like but everyone loved it).
I ordered the Angus burger. It was on of the best burgers I’ve ever had! The onion jam was impressive.
I was told the beers, and their selection was quite good. Smoked wings were good too. And the lil one enjoyed his grilled cheese.
They have indoor and outdoor dining.
Make a reservation, sit back, and enjoy!

This establishment is top notch! We had the biscuit board and poutine as an appetizer followed by smoked oyster soup as well as shrimp and grits. Everything was mouth watering good. A taste of explosion in every bite. Service was fantastic and the atmosphere was fun and laid back. We had a mid-afternoon dinner in the bar area. Relaxed, and cozy was the vibe with a hint of upscale. This is a place that should be on your list for sure!

The quality and fresh ingredients really shine through! The seasonal menu and house made biscuits as well as main dishes were such a treat! This was our first stop after a long flight in from the west coast and it was such a lovely place for us to experience on our first visit to VA. The service was great and our waiter was detailed and helpful in explaining the menu. One of our favorite meals on this trip!

Customer service is on point. The fish and grits was really good. The fries could be a bit more seasoned and softer. The burger was a great size and pretty good. Ice cream was definitely made in house which is cool but had a milky taste to it. Great spot overall.

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere, great service, fair price. Clean will return and will recommend to friends and family. The wings are amazing. Get reservations. We did not have reservations, we sat at the bar and watched the food come out, the hamburgers, the pork chops, the salads,everything looked really good, and great portion sizes.

Loved the oyster chowder and the biscuit board, light and fluffy biscuits. Meatballs are fried and a little too sweet. Scallops are nicely done: shrimp and grits were okay, a little disappointed o nthe shrimp. Cauliflower steak not that great, needed some spice or zest in the sauce.

Stopped in for dinner, started at the bar while waiting for the rest of my party to arrive. They feature distilled spirits produced in VA and have a decent selection of them. They also have an interesting cocktail list.
Their dinner menu is loaded with some great selections, both in the starter and the entrée lists. We had a tough time deciding, so we got a few things to share and try out. Their wings were really good, nice and smokey. Their ham board was great and nicely curated. Gazpacho was fresh, but a little too watery for my liking and I also would have preferred no bacon in it, but the flavor was decent. I also tried their burger, which was beautifully built and tasted decent.
Service was excellent… Sophie did an excellent job taking care of our table too! Definitely would return!
