Tonic

"Cute and intimate cocktail bar with sophisticated seasonal / local sourced inspired fare. We had fried fingerling potatoes sprinkled with cayenne pepper and a lemony aioli that was the perfect starter, then a fancy potato bisque drizzled with olive oil and pickled onions, and a snack board of our choice that did not disappoint. Crunchy grilled bread, roasted red pepper or butter and shallot spreads, fancy vinegar based deviled eggs with garlic chips, pickled red beets.. all so good. Capped off with our favorite drinks. This would be a great first date destination. Fall in love at the Tonic❤️"

"Cute little place in Charlottesville proper. Food was good and service spot on. Smaller, cozy restaurant with obvious care in decorating with a holiday theme. Menu was eclectic and rather fun, with small plates, large plates and a variety of options and food types. Highly recommend the butternut schnitzel as it was decadent and cooked perfectly. The pork belly sandwich was also good and cooked well. Some decent beer on tap with also plenty of non-alcoholic other options available and a holiday cocktail list that also was intriguing ( can you say hot toddy????). Would go back again when in the area for sure."

"Look our waitress was sweet and the atmosphere is amazing! But we ordered 3 drinks (the cocktail bring $13 pictured below) and it took an hour to receive them, we ordered appetizers after waiting 25 mins to place an order, it took an hour an 15 mins to get our food, our appetizers were also burnt, the wrong items, and by the time we decided to leave it took an additional 10 to get our card back. It cost us $75 for 3 appetizers and 3 drinks. I highly recommend going anywhere else any less you have time to kill and money to waste. Again, great atmosphere, kind Hostest, but just poorly ran and insane wait times/ insane prices. Also I want to emphasize that the drink below was $13. It was less than 8 Ozs. I feel scammed."

"Tonic is a great spot for cocktails and dinner (they’re open for lunch too). The food is delicious and they change their menu often - locally sourced ingredients are staples in the menu! I had the open faced tomato sandwich and it was amazing! Their home made chips were perfect. Great location, great food and wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend"

"The drink menu is INCREDIBLE. Very crafty, creative, flavorful, and interesting drinks. Definitely the best cocktail menu I have seen they use very high quality ingredients. The food was alright, it was plated very well and the presentation was on point. The food just didn’t live up to the presentation. Overall I will definitely come back here for drinks, but most likely not food."
