My husband and son are flying to Charlottesville for a day to look at the Miller School. Can anyone recommend a good casual restaurant between the airport and the school?

Charlottesville is full of some really excellent non-chain restaurants (probably too many!). One of the best places to go and find something to eat is the historic "Downtown Mall" -- it's an outdoor pedestrian plaza that is full of shops and restaurants from pizza (Christian's has gourmet-type topping options) to a converted Hardware store (sandwiches and the like) to higher-end restaurants. They can walk through and choose what they are in the mood for.

Local favorites outside the "mall" are: Continental Divide; Bluebird Cafe; Mono Loco


Might want to stay away from "The Corner" as it is generally packed with students.

C&O Restaurant on Water Street.

Given where you're going, a good option would be Duner's, which is on 250 west between the town and the school. A little nicer than totally casual, upscale nouveau American, but not super expensive.

Thanks for all the help. They've decided on Indian for lunch (our nearest Indian restaurant is about an hour away), but - if my son does go to Miller - we'll have a good list of restaurant to check out!
