Bizou is our favorite restaurant in C'ville. Our meals there have always been above average-perhaps once we had an "average" meal, but I honestly can't recall any particular bad experience. Service is usually quite good, with a good selection of favorites (like the meatloaf), and newer entrees. Went there tonight and really enjoyed the Veggie Tower (an eggplant/ratatouille dish).

The fall menu is great! Dined with two friends last evening and each entree was delectable. The chicken pot pie was packed with bites of chicken and veggies and the sauce/gravy was so rich and creamy. The mahi mahi special was superb. The catfish with risotto was very, very tasty. Great place to dine, converse and people watch. more

I'm always amazed how fresh and tasty everything is here. If it's warm sit outside and watch the world go by. Wines are a treat and stock many values you have never heard of. more

Hands down the best restaurant to go to over and over again. The service is quick and friendly, the food ranges from simple and hearty meatloaf to beautifully prepared seafood and vegetarian entrees. The lunch chef, Felipe, is the best in town, offering lively specials every day. And oh yeah, they started brunch a year or so ago and its... more

After being rudely dismissed at another outdoor eatery, we were quickly accommodated at one of Bizou's outside tables. The menu was not very extensive but had enough variety. One of us had the roast chicken, the other the steak/frites. The steak/frites meal was enjoyed but the roast chicken was not the best. Mostly dark meat and on the greasy side.... more

A great place to eat outside in June, inside not so much. Had a meal to remember. Meatloaf is the best in town and not pricey. Bathrooms could be cleaner but it is what it is. A charlottesville tradition and still a great time always..... more
