Reviews for Rapture Restaurant in Charlottesville, VA
This was a terrible dining experience. The fish and chips was inedible. Refer pictures.
Food was great! Deviled eggs, bbq egg rolls were legit! I had the gumbo which was a perfect combo of spicy and flavorful.... Chicken sandwich was juicy and fried just right. Bartender was great and the old fashioned was made like it should be Read more
We sat in the outside seating and our server could not have been better. He was super busy, but still got us everything we... needed. Great cosmopolitan, good solid beer selection and one of the best Caesar salads I've had... It had great bite. I don'tknow why the overall rating isn't higher, it should be. The ahi club was great as well as the grilled chicken sandwich. Read more
Change your hours on your website to the correct hours you are open! The attitude of the older women server is ridiculously bad!... She was waiting on guest and turned around and bad mouthed them walking away! I wouldn't give this place money if they had thelast glass of water on Earth! Read more
We've had many good meals in Charlottesville; there are many excellent restaurants to chose from. We thought we'd try Rapture on... a nice weather night where we could dine outside. They advertise as farm-to-table which is a plus in my book and the posted menufeatured some appealing choices although the menu we scanned at the table may have been slightly different. My margarita wasgood; my husband's Old Fashioned was a miss. The thinnest slice of tiny dry orange rind was the garnish and instead of simplesyrup, a small lump of granular something was found at the bottom of his drink. It did not come with a stir stick so all waslost on that. His cheese steak was fine, my short ribs were very fatty and the dish was served lukewarm. The scant amount offried onions on top were wilted and there was about a fourth of a small celery stick and a few small purple carrots(?) floatingin the lukewarm grits. Our server asked if I'd like it boxed to take home and I let her know that it was very fatty and just notgood. She removed my plate without saying a word. No rapture here, unfortunately. We hated to leave so disappointed as we wereexcited to try someplace new. A scoop of ice cream from nearby Chaps was quickly employed to save the night! Read more
We sat outside for lunch. The waiter seated us under a tree in the shade. The waiter was very helpful and courteous. One family... member did not get their meal until the rest of our party had finished eating. However, the food was excellent. Read more
The food was fabulous, wine pairings were smart, and the wait staff was absolutely amazing.
Cozy little spot. Had a decent beer menu, some interesting bourbon flights. I liked the choices on the menu for a casual bite,... but the gumbo I had was mild and left me wishing for something with a little more.kick and stronger flavour profiles. Servicewas attentive, friendly and helpful. I'd go back to see how the other menu items are! Read more
