We visited this restaurant twice, and unfortunately our experiences were very different. On our first visit, the bourbon short ribs and mashed potatoes were very good, and we also enjoyed the fried green tomatoes. The apple crisp dessert, however, was disappointing. It wasn't really an apple crisp—it was more like warm apple compote topped with what tasted like apple-flavored cereal. We decided to give the restaurant another try, but our second visit was much less enjoyable. The marinated pork loin was extremely tough and had very little flavor. The rice was also bland. Once again, the fried green tomatoes were the highlight of the meal. The restaurant itself has pleasant surroundings, and the service was attentive, although we were the only customers there. What surprised me most was the response when I told the waitress that my meal was awful. She simply said, "Great," handed us the bill, and that was the end of the conversation. There was no apology or attempt to address the issue. Overall, it was a very odd experience. The restaurant clearly has the ability to prepare some excellent dishes, but the inconsistency in the food and the lack of response to our feedback left us disappointed.We visited this restaurant twice, and unfortunately our experiences were very different.

I am sorry that this was your experience, especially twice. I will take this opportunity to retrain staff in handling unsatisfied customers, because I would have been happy to find a way to make your experience better. I hope that you might be able to give us another chance to give you a great dining eperience.

Honestly disappointed by my first time at Mockingbird. The restaurant week menu did not feel worth it. The salad was underdressed, the broccoli on the short ribs was nearly burnt, and the peach crisp tasted more like almonds than anything else. Each on its own would have been alright, but altogether I felt quite let down. I will say the mash potatoes were great. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $60–70

I had a crowd to entertain--14 people on a Saturday night--and I wanted to show off Charlottesville in the best light! So of course we went to Mockingbird. Tonya helped me plan weeks in advance, they let us come early to "dress" the table, and Lynn (or Lin) was standing by to serve us. And the food! We ate short ribs and fried chicken, banana pudding and peach crisp. And don't miss the biscuit basket. All in all, Mockingbird created a memorable night for us! And made C-vill look good. Thank you!
