Cookshop
In keeping with the typical cookshop concept of all-things-fresh, co-owners of Cookshop, Chef Marc Meyer and Chef Vicki Freeman, source local ingredients and produce for their food preparation. To bring out the best taste from the natural food, traditional methods such as wood-fired ovens are used. The Virginia farmers’ cross center cut pork chop and the wilted spinach, red onion and Sarvecchio cheese pizza are favorites here. The cocktails are innovative concoctions with a twist that change with the season. Try the tea prepared using Bergamot and oranges that comes highly recommended. The ambiance is chic and trendy, with the tables closely laid out in the L-shaped dining section. The dessert list has tempting offerings that make for perfect endings.
