Just had an incredible lunch at Restoration Restaurant at Old Trail, Crozet, and I’m still smiling about it. How have I live 5 minutes away and never knew this place existed?! It’s hands-down the best-kept secret in the Charlottesville. The view is ridiculous in the best way: 180° of the Old Trail golf course rolling out toward the Blue Ridge Mountains, with the sun setting behind the 18th green. It honestly feels like you’re dining inside of a Hallmark card.
Inside is just as gorgeous—warm wood, high ceilings, big windows everywhere, super relaxed but still polished. The vibe is upscale neighborhood hangout meets country-club elegance without any of the stuffiness.
The staff is the bomb! Lindsay is the Truth! You can tell they actually enjoy working there.
Location-wise, it’s tucked right into the Old Trail community, so it feels like you’re discovering some private club that the locals have been hiding. Ten minutes from downtown Crozet, fifteen from Charlottesville, but a total escape.
I’m already trying to figure out when I can come back for dinner on that patio. If you haven’t been to Restoration yet, fix that immediately.
Crozet’s hidden gem just became my new favorite spot.

My husband and I experienced a wonderful meal at Restoration in Old Trail. The menu featured Valentine specials offering a variety of choices to appeal to seafood lovers, vegetarians and meat lovers. The tables were festively decorated in red and white accents. The service was excellent and the meal was superbly prepared. We enjoyed oysters Rockefeller, shrimp scampi and seared scallops done to perfection! We highly commend the chef, Elisa, the manager, and the entire staff at Restoration ! Crozet has needed a restaurant of this quality for many years.

Old Trail Golf Club was a wonderful venue to work with for the wedding on December 13, 2025. From start to finish, Krista their event manager and team was professional, responsive, and incredibly accommodating—making both coordination and décor execution seamless.
The space itself is nice and versatile, allowing us to bring our couple’s vision to life with ease. Load-in and setup were smooth, the staff was attentive throughout the day, and everyone worked collaboratively to ensure the timeline stayed on track. That level of teamwork truly makes a difference on a wedding day.
If you’re looking for a venue that values partnership, organization, and a positive guest experience, Old Trail Golf Club delivers. We’d be happy to work here again and recommend it to couples and fellow vendors alike.

Excellent! Service, food, facility and the surprising pineapple margarita – all wonderful. One fish and chips and one bruchetta chicken with excellent accompaniments….almost ordered fries for dessert!

I’ve given this restaurant a few tries and unfortunately it continues to fall short. The restaurant itself is lovely and pleasant to sit in. The wait staff is adequate. The food is subpar. I ordered the fall salad today and it was missing multiple ingredients. The dressing, a vinaigrette, tasted like straight vinegar. The squash in the salad was majorly undercooked and crunchy. Very disappointing and need some quality control in the kitchen. When I complained to the wait staff I was told “it’s a new menu item”. That’s not a reason for poor food quality.

We have had the delight of dining at Restoration on two occasions over the last week after having recently moved to Crozet. The patio is one of the most absolutely beautiful spots to enjoy a meal in the area. The service is always so friendly and attentive! Even during these times when the menu is limited, they still have a variety of options at really excellent prices! In particular, the spinach & artichoke dip is to die for and the salads are yummy and fresh. I cannot say enough good things about the environment, service, and the quality of the food!

I ordered the steak and fries, well done. I’ll start off by saying my steak was not well done. Which is probably because they were short-handed. But the food on the other hand was pretty unacceptable. I am not sure why the steak came precut which made it super dry and tough, and the portion was inexcusable. The smallest portion of steak I have ever gotten for such an expensive price. The wait-staff was very nice and tried their best, but the chefs disappointed me with their food. Food was without a doubt awful.
