Located a mile from both the site of Peter Jefferson’s Albemarle County estate and the University of Virginia, our restaurant takes its name from Shadwell, the birthplace of Thomas Jefferson. We take great pride in our reputation as the best restaurant in Charlottesville for authentic, Chesapeake Bay-inspired seafood recipes. We believe in Mr. Jefferson’s vision, of always surrounding himself with good conversation, good friends and good times. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, indeed!
