Reviews for The Shack in Staunton, VA
This restaurant was definetely interesting. Everything was simple from plates, tables, to its menu. The space was probably not... originally designed for a restaurant, and the sit-down space felt as part of the kitchen area behind. They only serve either 4or 5 course pre-fixe menus. At the time of my visit, we could add caviar service additionally, which turned out to be one of myfavorites, if not the best, out of that night. All ingredients and how they were prepared almost felt like everyday comfortfood, but they were arranged extremely uniquely. It was also interesting how I could find various fruits in course meals. Almostall dishes were mildly seasoned, which made me spend more time to explore each taste. At the same time, greens stood out welland all serves were visually stunning. Read more
This was a wonderful dining experience. I was passing through this little town and decided to take a chance on its best... restaurant. Boy, am I glad that I did! The food was amazing. Creative. Delicious. Satiating. My server (Meghan) and the guy whobrought out the food were really helpful, describing each dish and offering suggestions on the five-course menu. I highlyrecommend a visit if you're anywhere near I-81 in Virginia. Read more
Food was phenomenal, wait staff knowledge of select menu was phenomenal. Very pricey but worth every penny. 10/10 would return.
Delicious! This was our first night out in over two years. The staff was extremely knowledgeable about the dishes and the... flavors were very fresh! Read more
Save Your Money We had great expectations for this restaurant. It was such a disappointment! Woody under-cooked rutabaga in a... sharp watery lemon broth; hardly cooked seared cabbage with sauerkraut liquid drizzled over it; stinky monk fish that was fleshyand without any seasoning. Even the citrus slices on top tasted fishy. The only dish that had any flavor was the duck (photo).But it wasn?t enough for both of us and my husband left hungry and annoyed. They admit that the atmosphere is without fanfarebut we expected the food to stand out. It did...but not in a good way. Read more
We had our anniversary dinner at The Shack and it was fantastic. Local farm to table, high-end cuisine. Highly recommend.
Let me give you some reasons why you need to visit Staunton, Virginia and come to The Shack. Menu is the last image if you're... curious. There is a 4 or 5 Course option and each course has two options. We did the 5 Course and got the entire menu. Therewere 3 additional courses which were the same not on the menu. Chef Ian and his team were phenomenal. ???? Read more
Went thinking it had been on Diners, Dives and Drive ins, but it was a misunderstanding. Simply recommended. It?s a set menu of... local menu selections with a flair. No reservations the night we went but looks nice. Read more
