    Excellent service in a lovely environment. Outstanding cuisine. I had the salmon which was perfectly prepared and melted in my mouth. Definitely the best dining in Harrisonburg!

    This was a fantastic 5-star experience with a world class cocktail and dinner menu! The service was excellent and customer-focused and no detail was left unattended. The food was unique and delicious, well-prepared and beautifully presented. We will be back and cannot recommend this bar and restaurant enough.

    My family and I had an outstanding dining experience at the lovely and unpretentious Joshua Wilton House. Highlights: the soup special (celeriac root with truffle oil), duck breast, house made fettuccini, and classic whiskey sour cocktail. The staff were warm and friendly. The meal proved to us yet again that the Harrisonburg dining scene is highly underrated.
