Shadwells Restaurant

I absolutely CANNOT believe I just paid over $40 for a meal that left me wishing I went to McDonald's instead. Ordered 2 burgers directly from Shadwells to pick up. Got there within 15 minutes, got put on hold. Someone came out with a bag, asked for my name, and asked if I ordered from DoorDash .. I said no and she brought the bag back inside. 10 mins later I'm taken off hold, asked what I ordered, then brought the same bag out. Got home (about 5 min drive) and both burgers were absolutely cold. Felt great being nickled and dimed, too - $1 each for some sad cheese, and I guess I paid $4 extra to have literal rotten brown avocado put on both burgers, one of which was left uneaten because it was pink when asked for no pink. The other burger was supposed to be pink and they look the same. Unfortunate since we've had good experiences at Shadwells the past two times we've eaten there and considered it the only close place for good food... Guess not. Glad I spent money to stay hungry!

I got the burger and I asked for no pink and I got all pink meat. Informed the server and she said ok. No questions just ok and took the plate away. I only ate about 1/4 of the burger. Since I was hungry I ordered the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. They sure looked amazing but they were only ok. The peppers and onions had a weird taste to them. I would say the best part of the entire night was the dessert. Highly recommend if every thing your ordered was bad this will make up for it. Don’t know if I will ever go back due to the food and price.

We went to this restaurant because it's right by the Kluge-Ruhe museum, and we were glad we did! The steak is really good (and I'm fussy about restaurant steak), and though I found the blue cheese butter a little overpowering, it was easy enough of move to the side. The service was prompt and very friendly. Do NOT pass up the she-crab soup; my daughter ended up ordering her own bowl!

Our dinner reservation for about 25 people during UVA's graduation weekend was mostly well managed. A few people had to sit outside of the reserved room due to the occupancy limit, but our experience was overall great. The meals were nicely presented, and I enjoyed my crab cakes entree which was served with rice, coleslaw and some vegetables.
