My wife and I each had an appetizer (hummus and lobster bisque) an entree (prime rib and paella) and shared a dessert (apple crisp). The hummus and prime were excellent, the lobster bisque was very good but the paella was not worth ordering. If you go, get an earlier reservation (before 8pm) as some of the specials were already gone... more

My wife and I have lived in Orange, Virginia for 3 years, and we own and operate a bed and breakfast here in town. Both we and our inn guests have eaten at every restaurant in Orange numerous times, and our guests are usually happy to share their experiences with us. Without question, Elmwood at Sparks is a guest favorite... more

I eat dinner at Elmwood at Sparks fairly often. The quality of the food compares favorably to the best restaurants in Charlottesville, Culpeper, or Fredericksburg. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the owner, Randy Cooper, is always on site to address any concerns. My wife insists that the trout entrees are the best trout she has eaten anywhere.

Highly recommended! more

Food was great. We went for a late lunch. I had quiche and soup and my wife had a salad with salmon. All of it was beautifully prepared and delicious. Restaurant was impeccably clean and very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful. more

I've been here a few times for lunch and had great sandwiches, salads, and quiches. But I came here for my birthday dinner back in October and the chicken with crusted goat cheese, orzo, and broccoli I ordered was so salty it was barely edible and gave me a headache. I wasn't impressed at all, I'll stick to lunch from... more

The only upper-scale restaurant in the town of Orange. There is a great chef and the menu changes every week. more

A lovely, sun-filled room and delicious gourmet food. Fantastic soups, silky quiches and a terrific portabella mushroom sandwich. Great place for lunch if you are visiting James Madison's Montpelier or the Barboursville Winery. more
