Perfection! The greeting at the door, the wine service, the table service, the knowledgeable professional waitstaff were all top notch and rivaled only by the extraordinary treatment of the food. The depth and layering of flavors were obviously done by a deft and restrained hand practiced in the art of balance. The sweetbreads were treated with respect and the skate retained a nice crust while retaining a light and delicate quality enhanced by the hazelnut, caper and tomato concasse. However, I unreservedly must admit that the shrimp risotto made me put down my fork, close my eyes, and focus all my energy on one of the most perfect bites I have had in years. Well done you!!!
Wonderful spot for food and wine in Charlottesville. As a wine professional, the list is full and fluently constructed. The dinner menu is precise and expressive. Don't pass up on the quail and gnocchi. Erin, the wine director, and Chris, a sommelier, are knowledgeable and very helpful.
Absolutely amazing and love it! Duck liver taste like heaven! All the food is scrumptious! Very nice and fancy restaurant! I recommend this place!
How can you not like Fleurie when chef Jose is back?! Fantastic food and a great wine selection. Certainly the best place in Charlottesville (and the most expensive one too)
Lovely ambience, great food and wine, exceptional friendly knowledgable service. Our waitress Tina was fantastic and made our evening utterly enjoyable. Highly recommended place for food & wine lovers.
So first, there is no finer restaurant in central Virginia than Fleurie! The food is absolutely amazing and all the little touches make it a fabulous dining experience. We just had the coolest birthday dinner there and it couldn’t have been more special and spectacular!
Everything we had...from drinks, to apps, to main course, to dessert....was to die for. Pure heaven on the palate! We can't wait to go back and try something different. We are sure we won't be disappointed! And the ambiance was perfect for our small dinner party.
The staff at Fleurie were simply amazing! Our waiter, Ben, was courteous, timely, patient and so very knowledgable. Executive Chef & owner Brian Helleberg's selections were exquisite!� And the Maitre d' & owner Joseph Scala was simply a joy to work with, both via emails prior to, as well as during, our evening's patronage at his fine establishment. Joe even took time to re-type our celebratory menu, including all of our paired wines!�#TheExtraMile #Anniversary #WeddingAnniversary #AMostAmazingAwesomeExcellentCelebration #LoveOfMyLife #MyBestFriend #Love #FleurieRestaurant #Wine #WinePairings

Everything was perfect. I love a good seared foie gras and theirs was great. I ordered the skate and almost licked the plate. (Rhymes not intentional!) Desserts were obscene! Their wine pour could be a little bigger... ;)
I've never had a restaurant go so far above and beyond to make their customer's happy. Fleurie continues to be my favorite place in Charlottesville.
one of the best restaurants in town -- and the wine list is amazing!!!
From restaurant week to a special celebration dinner, this is one of my favorite places to dine in C'ville. The food, service and ambiance are unmatched. I even love the intimate bar. On my last visit, I enjoyed filet mignon and wow. Just wow. It was sublime.
The best customer service, food, and overall experience I have had at a restaurant yet. They made our celebratory dinner a memorable one!
Dinner at Fleurie Restaurant was exquisite - what an amazing spot we have just in Charlottesville - thank you Melissa and team - dinner was spot on, and pairings perfection!
My husband surprised me and made reservations for our anniversary here and everything was heaven sent! I did the wine pairing which was a fun way to explore the food. The complimentary appetizer was delicious! We also got a surprise soup and mini dessert for our anniversary which was so thoughtful! My husband is still raving about the lobster sauce and I was very happy with my tenderloins. Romantic and quaint spot! We will definitely be back :)

We come every year to celebrate our anniversary and we wouldn’t have it any other way. It is the place to go in Charlottesville to celebrate the best of times. The sommeliers are fantastic and clearly knowledgeable, the food is smart and well executed, and it is generally a pleasant, comfortable way to spend the evening. We look forward to coming back every time. Thank you, Fleurie!

A wonderful experience at Fleurie! The atmosphere is beautiful and the staff is incredibly attentive and educated about their offerings. The attention to detail is astounding, the courses are served with wonderful timing.
The chef started out with sending out these beautiful little nibbles. We choose the seared sea scallops and the sunchoke and mushroom cassoulet. I will forever refer to the sunchoke cassoulet as the 'Pot of Yum'. Have you ever had anything so amazing, that on the first bite you close your eyes and your sensory nerves scream "yum"? Tonight, this happened for me. That cassoulet could cause world peace.
For our entree, we had the Chilean sea bass and the vension loin. The tangy cabbage with the tender venison was an amazing pairing. The crispness on the sea bass and the incredible sauce.... there aren't enough words.
For dessert we had the apple tart and lemon cheesecake. The tart was incredibly thin and light but packed with delicate but enormous flavour while the lemon cheesecake was utterly decadent. To top it off, they sent out a plate of petit fours.
Tonight was our 2 year anniversary and I'm so glad we were able to have a table at the incredible Fleurie.
My husband and I got lucky to have dinner at Fleurie as a reservation got cancelled and we were able to get a table. What an amazing experience holistically! From the welcome platter to the house-made bread to the appetizers followed by the main course that looked like a piece of art and tasted beyond any description topped off with apple crumble with homemade ice cream and another platter of deserts!!! Setting and ambience were equally enjoyable. Service surpassed our expectations as all of the wait staff worked as a team and were top notch professional, attentive and polite! We are not from Charlottesville but will for sure make a reservation and visit Fleurie next time we are here as it is truly a treat! Thank you to all who made such a wonderful dinner experience happen!
We decided have our date night at Fleurie and we could not have been more pleased with the atmosphere, service, food, and the knowledge of our server in helping me to choose a wine for the night. The food was indescribable, melt in your mouth delicious and we will certainly be visiting this place next time we are in town.
Always had a great dinner here. Enjoy the menu tasting. Both service and food were delicious.
Amazing food, great service, and extensive wine list.
We had a wonderful evening celebrating our anniversary.
Prix fixe menu was fabulous. Can’t go wrong with any of of the dishes. Beef carpaccio and lamb chops were fabulous! Reserve wine pairing is a must. George, our waiter, was great and Chris the GM elevated the wine pairing experience significantly. Thank you Chris!! Will definitely be back in the future and a must stop if you’re in C’ville!
